OK,

Since this place hasn't been very active, and I want to shamelessly bump my post count, I want to steal your ideas.

My 3v3 consists of:

Rouge = Me, sexy night elf female,

Priest = Another sexy night elf female,

and Mage = Yet another female, but this time draenei.

OK, first discussion;

What the hell do we do against double melee train teams? Please note we are currently hovering around 2k rating. We have tried training the warrior mostly, but that just seems so risky.

Anybody else use this comp? Input, strategies? Give up wow and start earning money? I am open to anything...

OK, what next, um, lets see...

Double healer warrior teams. Any 2 healer combo royally f*cks us up. Shamm/druid, pala/priest, you name it! I heard it was hard for Prist/Mage/Rogue to keep up with this comp, but there must be a way.

Normally we try to CC a healer while nuking the other 1 down and burning away mana. Usually it is us who runs OOM and have a dead mage...

I will add more troubles as we progress through the thread, to not get the discussions too confusing and keep interest high.

Come to think of it, how many arena rogues do we have here? Shall I try to steal some people from the Priest and Mage forums to answer? Anybody can help me with that task?

Double melee train:

You pretty much have to kill the druid. Your mage is going to have to use blink offensively rather than defensively to keep up with the druid in order to run the druid OOM by using WE nova and frost nova and keeping the druid shifting out of shatters, while you keep up with the druid via crip, shs, and sprints.

Your priest is gonna get focused pretty hard, as if they lock down the priest (really easy with CS, KS, Kick, Pummel, Intercept, MS, and Hamstring) with EA up, your team is pretty much boned. Your mage really doesn't have a whole lot of time to put Polys up as you need to get that druid down ASAP. If you can get the druid down at roughly the same time as they get your priest down, it's GG, you win as mage/rogue is a whole lot better than rogue/warrior.

Double healer warrior:

Controlling the warrior is going to be huge against this setup, as well as manaburns. Using R1 frostbolts to break the 3rd sheep to keep the warrior snared, shivving crip (not that good if one of the healers is a druid, waste of energy), etc will be a huge asset. WDP is probably going to be the hardest setup as your priest is going to be eating burns right back for every burn he gives the other priest.

If they play that offensively, shatter the sh*t out of the warrior; the druid's hots shouldn't be able to keep up. Don't even worry about poly in this situation, just beat the crap out of the warrior while your priest burns the crap out of their priest. The priest will be able to choose between burning your priest or dispelling novas on the warrior, and you'll run their priest OOM or win by killing the warrior either way.

Paladin/druid/warrior is laughable; paladin doesn't bring sh*t to that comp. Burn the paladin OOM or sheep, kill the warrior. If you sheep the pally and kill the warrior, he's gonna pop bubble--your priest needs to be ready for it. Mass Dispel and another sheep should go up right away. The druid won't be able to keep the pally up through shatter combos and your damage.

Smart pallys will have BoSac on the warrior, so sheeping won't work. In that case, shatter the sh*t out of the warrior and put burns on the paladin to run him OOM. Fears and blinds on the druid.

Hope that helps. Any more questions, feel free to throw them my way.

Edit: not too many high-rated rogues here, at least regular posters. Jord is decently rated, I'm in the 1800-1900s, and you're in the 2k range, and that's about it.

The problem is, we need to start on the dps, otherwise the druid stays in stealth...

Seems about right, I waited for another reply, but it never came...

I'm in the 1900s and have been 1850+ with so many different teams and comps... :P

Altho I suppose I don't really post anymore.

Rogues stays in stealth. Have the Mage man handle the warriors for a little bit, either their druid or rogue will have no choice but to come out and play.

When the rogue comes out, get on him. Put pressure on both of them, when the druid finally change target, switch dps right away. Both rogue and warrior should be snared by then too.

bosac isnt an issue, you can just dispel it since youve got a priest, and its got a 30s CD, so if you get it once its put on you should be fine.

Gz!

I know I said I'd keep this updated and fun, but the mage hasn't been on since thursday, he is either dead or getting a lot of sex...

Turns out he has been getting a lot of sex, and enjoying it.

So when his game card expires, he is not renewing his account.

Any ideas on what set-up I should try to get next?

Don't really want to ditch the priest, but out of the 3 best mages on the server, 1 has a schedule conflict, and 2 already have teams sorted...

You can go with a lock, though it's an inherently weaker comp.

Disc priest or Ret pally. Disc priest is easier, but doing 2's w/ a retadin is so much fun.
