How to reach 2k+ in 2v2.

[Eman]

Hello, I'm posting this easy three step guide here to offer assistance to all of you who have trouble with 2v2 bracket of arena and can't get passed the 1700's or perhaps you can't even pass the 1500's...

Step 1 the four classes.

In order to excel like a professional in the 2v2 bracket you must choose from one of these four classes:

Paladin

Deathknight

Priest

Rogue

Step 2 the match up.

This is the more difficult part of this guide depending on which server you play on (Over populated servers are easier than under populated ones).

If you've chosen a Paladin from one of the four choices in step 1. you must find a Deathknight partner from your server and vice versa.

If you've chosen a Priest from one of the four choices in step 1. you must find a Rogue from your server and vice versa.

Step 3 Making a team

In order to get to 2000+ rating you must first have an arena team.

A 2v2 arena team will cost 80 gold so you will either need to make 80 gold by your self or buy it online in exchange for real life US currency.

Run into any of the main cities that correspond to your faction and ask a mage for a portal to Dalaran.

Once at Dalaran run into the sewers via tunnels or the well.

When you see a goblin standing on a box talk to him, buy the team and ask you're new partner to sign it.

Now that you've got a team you can queue for arena!

:confused:Have fun hitting 2k running priest/rogue or pally/dk!:confused:

IMPORTANT NOTE: Paladin/DK teams can spec just about any spec if they want to. Paladins can spec prot in full holy gear/ret/holy! and deathknights can spec blood/frost/unholy.

EDIT: Sorry I forgot about the strategy's.

STRAT & SPEC

Paladin/Deathknight:
Prot pally/Frost DK
Prot pally in holy gear (19/52/0)
Frost DK (12/56/3)

Prot paladins in full holy gear are very strong at the moment due to the fact that you get spellpower from 30% of your stamina and your stun is on a 20 second CD, and their avengers shield crits for up to 7k and silence targets for 3 seconds, not to mention divine plea refreshes it self every time you auto hit and is un-purgable.
Frost Deathknights are also very strong at the moment in 2v2 due to the fact that they can do a decent ammount of burst damage and freeze as a CC every minute for 10 seconds.

Prot pally/Frost DK BASIC STRAT: you open with your dk on the DPS and CC the healer with your 20 second Paladin stuns, 3 second Paladin silence, and Deathknight freeze, and of course your deathknight silence and inturupt. Its just that simple.

Ret pally/Unholy DK
Ret pally in dps gear (0/19/52)
Unholy DK in dps gear (0/17/54)

The ret pally/Unholy dk team is a very good comp. it relies heavily on burst damage and slight CC. Most teams will CC the repentance and kill the healer as Deathknights can inturupt heals via Pet stun, Silence, Inturupt.

Ret pally/DK BASIC STRAT: Open on the healer. Have the ret Paladin repentance the DPS. Stun the healer when nuking him, inturupt the heals with your deathknight silences/inturupts/pet stuns. the healer should go down very fast depending on your gear.

Discipline Priest/Mutilate Rogue Spec:
Discipline Priest (57/14/0)
Mutilate rogue (41/5/25)

Priest/rogue BASIC STRAT:
Priest/Rogue teams are the best in the world right now.
In order to effectively play this comp your rogue must be able to put a very high amount of pressure on the opposite teams DPS. Usually open by getting a sap off on the opposite teams healer, have the priest follow up the sap with a fear. If the healer you have just saped/feared trinkets either CC quickly follow up with a blind and continue nuking the DPS of the opposite team. If the DPS on the opposite team survives your burst after the sap, fear, and blind CC he will be forced to spam heals at this point.... proceed with manaburn spam. GG.

Thank you for reading the Eman guide on facerolling to 2k+.

Not really a guide so no +Rep from me. Maybe if you gave a strategy, but this is just saying what classes are good in a group.

[trimm]

Fail, in no way is this a guide. I'd take it you got owned by priest rogue or DK/Pally recently? PVPFAIL

[dohon]

why is the mage not there

[[Z]em]

hmmm this is correct but not a guide :P
and its really not that easy as just picking that class and making the team.
it takes alot of teamwork and effort to make a good arena team.

[buddhistgrandma]

.......k

So basically, roll a FOTM class, join a FOTM comp, and faceroll to 2k?

[ashter247]

Epic fail.

[Havocx]

Lol @ all the flamers.
Atleast cut the guy some slack, he probably spend 10-30 minutes typing up something he thought would be useful.

[buddhistgrandma]

Not really useful, no. Basically common sense.

TL;DR version of the post: Roll OP class, Join OP comp, Faceroll to 2k

[Keithh]

Uhm, he typed it up and tried to contribute, more than some do, one rep, dont hate on meh.

[Pheeew]

rogue priest take a tone of skill to play on co ordinations

you mind as well post a post with mmv in 3s

where u bring to players with 2.2k mmv and a player (require) with the mmv
and do games. assume the new player can play their class and follow orders and you pick a general cleva team i.e 2x melee + 1 healer then u should hit 2k after a while...


and one of the reason why rogue and priest are one of the best in the world for 2s is because of their comp was there at the start of bc but general if your posting a guide for new players they will get facerolld very bad... rogue priest teams require alot of cc chains and focus and play style for different matchups which take experience to adjust. in those case u mind as well go post on AJ to let the players look and show them the players specs etc...

Another tip -
Get audio chat! (Vent / Ts / Skype)
Easier co-ordination.

fear share dr with blind

so a better strat will be have ur priest MC their healer that way its a 8sec aft the 8sec sap and will surely force a trinket unles the dps being zergd by the rogue manage to silence u. but by then ur rogue can blind their healer which will lead to a trinket and ur priest is open to a fear and another MC after. and by then if the dps isnt dead... disown ur rogue...
