Arena Charater Build Guide: 2v2

[Snor11]

2v2

~Druid & Rogue~
Probably the best duo for arena's. Since they both can stealth, you can take a limited amount of time walking around and waiting for the perfect chance to jump the two. If there is a healer on the team, target them first. Same with any type of casters, because they get in the way. Once they are down, close in on the other. If the rogue is starting to become low on health, the druid should go out of cat/bear form and start healing. Thats the main reason a druid is thrown onto the team, to heal the rogue while he keeps their attention with stuns and such.

~Warrior & Warrior~
With all their armor and higher-DPS weapons two at a time are tough to take down. Having one on each person, or both on a caster will keep the other team completely occupied with the attacking warrior.

~Warlock & Hunter~
An extremely potent duo for the arena. Having 2 pets out attacking the opposing team, ADDED with lock+hunter's overly high DPS makes for an extremely quick match. You should have no problem taking the other team down. If theres a healer on the team, focus every bit of DPS on them first. Recommend DPS Pet for Hunters and Felguard Pet for Warlocks during arena.

~Mage & Any Class~
With mages having decent DPS, added with polymorph, they go well with any other class. Have the mage polymorph one player (Healer, Tank, Lock, Hunter) and focus all your DPS onto the other player. Down that player, move back to max range, pop an ice spell on the other player to slow him down and finish them off. Mages work best with other Ranged DPS Classes.

~Priests & Warlock/Hunter~
Having a priest with a lock or hunter makes it so the lock/hunt can have a pet out occupying the other player while the priest stands in the back and heals, and also throws out the occasional psychic scream if needed. Not much to this group, Pet DPS on one player, Hunter/Lock DPS on the other, Priest healing in the back.

~Warrior & Paladin~
Basically the same as Warrior+Warrior except the other Warrior can heal. Use the same tactics as the War+War duo, except throw heals in every now and then until they are finished. Shouldn't be too hard.

~Shamans & Any Class~
Since Shamans can heal and also DPS well they can also be used well with any other class. Basic DPS on both players, when the teammate is running low on health, pop a heal, continue going. If you have the talent that makes any nature spell under 10 seconds instant cast, pop that then pop a big heal if your in a tough situation. Also, the +AGI totem, and the +STR totems are big helpers, and also mana totems if you have a caster by your side. Other than that use earthbind totems to keep them still and/or windfury totems if you have a DPS class with you.

Paladins aint that good -.-

You failed to mention sap. 2 Rogues are also deadly. Shamans on the other hand destroy casters.

This guide is too shallow and more of a "common sense"--no offense.
We were discussing this with my pvp partners. We discussed in depth most spec and class combinations... more like thoerycrafting. Yet what we didnt realize is the opposing team also does what we are going to do to them. There are more strategy variations as we had anticipated. Looking at just a single class alone was really complex, especially when resilence comes into play.

With respect to this guide and the arena 2v2 pvp... the best way to win is to trust your partner. Picking your partner would be the least of the challenge. The challenge is more on how your team responds to your opponents.

Actually, 2x paladins are ****ing invicible, and are NOT to be taken lightly.

The classic warrior + priest will also do good =D.

I did alot of arena b4 tbc with my shadowpriest, my best combo waswith a Frost mage.

Frost mage uses pet and goes head on the other team blows off hes AoEs and icebloks when he gets low on health. I stay in the background at first and DoTs,b4 I heal the mage in the iceblok after which I go all out DPS.

We were both ½green ½ blue geared and won about 80% of our fights. Thoughest combo we ran into was a holy speeced pally + warr.
