I have been constantly looking for the right arena partner and i think i fund one that completes me. I found a fresh disc/holy priest and my rating shot up. Now my rating is not that good to begin with since im new to arena but so was she. We started at in the 1300's and we made it all the way to 1400. now i know that not really alot but it is to me. She is awsome especially with her mana burn. Just thought people should know that this combination is godly. But you have t know what your doing. The only one we had trouble with was a 2v2 with another priest on the oppenents side. other then that we were cool. I have a lot of fun. thx for listening

I always heard that Rogue\Priest was the optimum class combo for 2v2. Gratz on getting your ratings up and your team in sync. Good luck in your future matches
Druid/Warrior or Druid/Warlock is looking better this season, but Rogue/Priest is still pretty amazing.
Just got a priest partner, gonna try some Arenas in about 15 minutes. Currently a little shy of 1600 personal rating, hoping for at least 1700 tonight, 1800ish if we're good/lucky.
[Edit] Or not, he decided to go to bed instead.

Did my arenas today. Shadow Priest/Rogue is a powerful combo. If I can keep the DPS off him, we win every time. The problem is we're still pretty outgeared at this point. Everyone in the 1600s seems to have full S2 and some S3 thrown in.
on a positive note, the last game we did put us against a Rogue/Warlock team. Both of them had 400+ resil and ~12k health. We absolutely rolled them. The Rogue jumped the priest (as I've come to expect Rogues to do), and as always, I immediately Cheap Shotted him. He trinketed the CS (lol), and I just popped AR and started spamming SS to 5 CPs. He realized he was going down fast, and hit Evasion, which I countered with KS. Now he's stuck in the 6 second stun with no trinket, and the priest loaded him up with full dots and I went to town on him. He died pretty quickly, and my priest was down to about 10% health by then. I strolled over to the lock who'd been dotting up the priest this whole time and just made sure he didn't get any fears off. He did so little damage that the priest regained health through VE, rather than losing it to his dots.

how do you guys deal with druid/warriors and druid/warlocks and druid anythings?
Another hard fight is warrior/pally
Druid usually cc's the healer and I end up dead. I try to catch the druid but there is only so much you can do to an auto shape shift

I've watched warrior/pally vs priest/rogue vids that worked out pretty well, especially if the warrior is trying to chase your priest.
You just stay behind the warrior and load him with crip poison while the priest kites him and mana burns his pally. If the warrior focuses on you, pop all of your cooldowns and have your priest give you a shield and renew while he continues burning the pally.
Or, if push comes to shove, blow sap on the pally to begin with, hope he wastes a trinket when you start nuking his warrior, have your priest fear him, hope he wastes bubble, then blind him after bubble is mass dispel'd, and get your priest to fear him again when he can. Warrior should drop like a sack of crap with your priest tossing mindblasts and smites at him.
My 2v2 is warrior/priest, and it's just not that great. I'd love to have a rogue lock down a target for me while I went buts on something with a mana bar.

It's only the good Warrior/Pally teams that beat us. It's not like my previous arenas where Warrior/Anything raped me. Here's usually how it goes.
Warrior charges priest, I immediately CS so the Priest can start making distance. Warrior eats some damage during stun, then intercepts priest. I KS, Priest can now get away and load the Warrior up with DoTs. I Blind the healer, trinket, fear. After the fear runs out, the Warrior is usually at around 70% health or so, and both of us are close to full (hard for a Warrior to take down a shield getting stunned and kited like mad). I pop AR, and we start the mad DPS rush. Priest silences healer, health usually drops down to ~20% if the healer isn't a Pally. Pallies can bubble off the fear and keep health from getting out of control, but usually don't for some reason. It's now a contest of who's better, the healer or our combined DPS + Silence + Wound Poison. We usually win.
Now, if the Warrior is smart (or playing risky), he'll target me. I'm not AR/Prep, so after my 15 seconds of Evasion, I'm pretty much ******* The priest, on the other hand, is free to fully dot up the Warrior and even slap a couple on the healer to keep pressure up. If I can survive the Warrior's onslaught long enough, Blind + Fear + Silence + Wound Poison gets the better of the healer. It's a slowly losing game for a Healer against S.Priest + Rogue, and well timed silences and amps make this an impossible fight. It's all about me surviving long enough to get the killing blow.
Picking up my S3 chestpiece next week, hopefully a mace from BT or TK as well, then I'll grab the S1 OH mace and go AR/Prep for my arenas. We'd be in the mid 1700s easy if I was properly specced. We lost two games we should have won due to Rogues getting crazy mace procs. Nothing is more frustrating than getting a Rogue to 5% health, then getting mace stunned as I'm slamming my Eviscerate button, only to see a swiftmend take him back to 50%+.

Druid/Warrior beats the hell out of Rogue/Priest sadly.
But Rogue/Priest beats Druid/Lock, and apparently Druid/Lock beats Druid/War (though I'd have to see it).
Just part of it I guess.
The only problem with 2v2'n with a priest is you'll have a lot of difficulty against anything that has a warrior actually. The class just hurts both of you so much... Fights really turn into "outlast the druid" and "pray the warrior doesn't go for you". Even a rogue getting a lot of healing can't stay alive through warrior DPS :/
