I'm thinking of creating an Arena team(s). I would like to make a 2v2 and/or a 3v3 team. I am a BM hunter (43/0/18):
Who should I look for as a good partner (class/spec) for 2v2?
What two partners (classes/specs) should I look to get for a 3v3?
thanks for input.
chuck norris, bump
(sorry i dont arena but im bored)
2v2 i would go with a druid or a pally, reason, HUNTERS CANT HEAL!! a resto druid can protect and buff, where a pally can take the damage and still heal.
3v3 sticking with the same idea, a pally would be a good choice for one the second is up to you. there is no aggro in PvP so a tank that is build for CC doesn't help, i like to see a shadow priest. great DPS, and ranged.
all arena teams are different. i would get 5-6 people for the teams, so you can try different combos. best of luck out there!
thnx mitt. anyone else have any suggestions???
srry bump again...just eager to make a good team
For 3x3, I'd go pally, plate wearing healer, and lock, massive DOTS and another pet, making it possibly 5x3. But there are many combos, teamwork and communication is most important I think.
First of all, once you hit 1800, on any team, you will need to go marks because your pets gets laid down quickly (maybe not so fast in 5s). Marks is great fo utility and drains along with burst dmg, while marks sucks. Ive found that BM hunters think that they are amazing cause they rock the dmg charts in arenas and BGs, but MM hunters can keep rogues off a healer, infinatly if you know how to play them while BM hunters cant do much in terms of CC.
For team mates, you should go with a healer in 2v2. Never a pally because; Bubble cna be dispelled, they have no burst damage moves, and they can get mana drained easily. Shamans... you can but i wouldnt recomend it. Your better off going with a resto druid of disc priest. A priests mana burn+viper sting is unstoppable (If you marks, you can stop them from dispelling viper sting). Priests also have good burst damage such as mind blast anf ofcourse, AoE fear allows for periods of burst damage which is great for MM or a period to FD and drink. I personally go with a disc priest.
Ive talked to other hunters who only go with a resto druid, in fact, the best 2v2 in the world is a resto druid hunter. Resto druids can pst in trade once, "LF 2v2" and get spammed with tells, so look hard and dont be picky if you find one. The reason their nice, they are not squishy. LoS their dps, put on hots on itselfs, and you, and go bear form and lay down steady dps. cyclone is a pro move if you know how to use it, especially cause u cant heal a cycloned team mate, giving your silencing shot a chance to cooldown. druid have infinite mana, giving you infinite health, giving you infinite time to mana drain. be ready for long fights where you spend your time LoSing and tanking if you go with a resto druid.
3v3 is a new issue. Im lucky cause im full venge so finding a team wasnt tough. What id recomend is go marks :P, disc priest for heals/mana burn and slsl lock for cc, dots, and mana burn.
Imaging your a paladin, walking up on a 3v3 team, instantly your getting mana burned, viper stinged and mana drained, your team mates are feard and trepped, you cant dispell MR. Viper cause your mana burned (Or if you have a scorpid as a pet, I go w/ cat only cause it can prowl and i can shadowmeld, LOLO NE ftw). My team has flawlessly drianed an 12k mana holy paladin in under 15 seconds, wisdom=massdiepell or arcane shot. The paladin then got trapped and i kept viper on him, we then BURN the resto of the team, 2 AoE fears, 1 normal fear, traps, wing clip procs, concussive, muh pet keeps em in combat to drink. and of course, slsl lock, MM hunter and disc priest FFing you when you ahve no heals, whose gunna die???
BTW mitthar-dont listen to him, the quote "a pally can take damage and still heale" LOL, cause if a 3v3 looks at you and sees a holy paladin and a hunter, WHO R THEY GUNNA FF? hmmmm... a plate wearer who has a 85% chance to resist inturrupt and a 12 seconds bubble giving him another life, or a hunter, a mail wearer whos only line of defense is FD while the paladin gets CCd. hunters work well with priest and druids for 2 reasons, it keeps the other team thinking WHO DO WE FF??? and, (esp on a 2v2) you have an MM hunter (Burst/cc) and a druid/priest (Burst/CC/heals) if you go with a paladin ur going with heals and Burst/cc (only burst if ur BM)so if one of u dies, its game over, paladins need to role w/ a warrior for 2s and thats it, not squishy, Burst and heals, simple but effective, thanks for reading!
yeah ive been thinking of teaming with a resto druid. in duels they are the hardest for me to take down. I hate fighting them cuz of great healing and the fact that they can switch forms to dps or tank. I also like shadow priests for dps and if needed, heals. I dont think 2v2s will last very long and im think the more dmg the better. but thats why im asking for opinions. I know for sure if i go 3v3 ill get a healer for group and prolly a lock too.
I was also wondering if going survival would be good for arena in 3v3. with trap and wryven sting i could take out 2 ppl, and with readiness i could have a back up CC for emergency. just a thought...give me ur input. thnx everyone.
eh my 2v2 partner is a retadin
he only heals me when he bubbles, if he needs to
he is the epic guy and im the "eh, sure" guy (mostly blues, but 6-7 epics)
really our strat is i CC something (im SV spec) and we both kill sumthing. if its a healer and dps, we choose one to take down, usually its the dps i cc while he hacks at the healer (and i shoot). when he is dead i just kite the dps for him.
its actually pretty good..
also, for a tip, if ur in the nagrand arena, run out to the far left or right, and like right thru the doors to behind the pillars... a mage went balistic and use 2k mana on arcane explsion thinking we r stealthers
