I recently started playing 2v2 matches with a lock. So I thought it would be cake: I run around and heal him while I cyclone the other mob and keep it occupied until the lock downs the other person. I was wrong.
Granted, I only have about 150 resilience right now, but I was getting owned. Here's the general idea of what happened. We would enter the fight, I would usually stealth, when I popped out I might get one cyclone off and then the other players would focus in on me. I would usually have at bare minimum a pet on me or one of the other players. Then I would run around trying to keep the people off me and heal myself, usually dying soon.
How do I keep myself up longer? I was healing myself but that didn't always work...and I was always dying well before my lock partner. I'm going to check these boards for more tips, but I'm bent out of shape about it so I needed to post here right away! The only arena experience I have is with a shadow priest.
