ms warr/shammyFollow

Hello

I´ve been playing around in bg´s for awhile now, and yesterday i got a whisper by a shaman who wanted to play some 2vs2 with me.
So we did and things were not fine, and when i say not fine i mean disaster. We got pummeled into the ground, 1 win in 12 matches... and we lost to that same team later.

So in conclusion, a MS warr and a Enhancement shammy. What and how to do?

There's really nothing that you can do. MS warrior/enh shammy is a bad 2's combo. Especially if you have bad gear. It wouldn't be that horrible if the shaman was resto, but seeing as how he's not, I'm not surprised that you went 1-12.

If you insist on keeping this combo, then try to get on the squishiest thing possible. Well, except maybe a mage (I can never catch them ><). Nuke nuke nuke. If you can down one person and still have both of you up, you'll probably win. Make sure that if your shaman isn't being nuked, that he's throwing out heals. He may not be able to get many off (low mana for enh) but anything will help. Most combo's in the (I'm guessing you're down into the 1300's now) will be really bad healer/dps teams, or double dps. Basically, if you can outheal, you'll win.

That's about all I can tell you. Well, other than have the shaman go resto.

Like MrWhiffles said, that's just a bad pairing in general. Warriors work infinitely better when paired with a healer. Unless the shaman goes resto you'll have a really hard time winning.

Well, just as i suspected then. We played yesterday again and we managaged to come out with a 5 loss 4 win record. But even i could tell the opponents werent very good... 1278 rating i think now :P

But lets say he goes resto, what to do now? how to use my fear most efficient? piercing howl?
They will most likely try and down him first, how do we prevent this? grounding totem?

And one other thing, what if we formed a 3vs3 team, will this make us a stronger combo if we brought in a pally or druid? or maby something else...

Warr/Enh Shaman is a very very bad 2's combo that won't get very far at all. If you want to be successful he needs to go Resto.

If he was to go resto, you can keep him up fairly easily. Intervening, Disarms and keep hamstring up on the player attacking him whenever you can. Usually as Warr/Sham you stick yourself on something squishy and along with the Shamans interrupts you put out a lot of pressure on enemy healers with the obscene burst damage. This combo relies heavily on the Shaman's skill though, he needs to be on top of interrupts and kiting, and don't be afraid to use intercept at alternative CC. Tab Target + Intercept ftw.

For a good 3's combo you can add a Holy Pally in there for Double Healer Warr, or you can even tell your Shaman to go Elemental if he has the gear and get a Holy Paladin, or even Ret Pally/Warrior/Resto Shaman.
