The following wall of text summed up in 1 pic
Do read on for a more detailed account
Me and a mate mage often do 2s arena together and one of our deepest ambitions in 2s arena is, not only to get above 1600but to Make the following team. This team, despite being poorly balanced, would not only get some laughs, but get some shock wins.
The Idea is to make the enemy team believe that a feral druid is a hunter pet by doing the following:
What you Need:
A sense of fun
A 2, 3 or 5 arena team with atleast 1 Feral Druid and 1 Hunter *2's is more fun but more conspicuous, where as in a 5's team, you could definitly cause more confusion. *This will work in battle grounds or skirmish arena too for 80s or pre 80s*
Hunter to have a Lion Pet such as the following for Horde:
Petopia: lionskingold Until patch 3.2 then any of these 3:
Petopia: lionskingold
Petopia: lionskinblack
Petopia: lionskinwhite
Alliance:
Petopia: lionskinblack or Petopia: tigerskinblack until 3.2 then any of these:
Petopia: tigerskinblack
Petopia: lionskinblack
Petopia: ridingtigerskinlavender
Note, This will be less effective for alliance due to the cat form graphic
Steps:
1. Have the Druid try to paid name change *or make a new one* themselves Cat. If this is unavailable *and a quick armory check revealed that, on most realms it is, but some are lvl 1 alts which may have their name reservation removed soon* Try Lion. If the standard pet names dont work, Make it either something very similar eg. Cat with a funny a, or a normal name *but the name Cat or similar, would be the best for maximum confusion*
2. Have the Hunter tame the Gold Skin Lion until patch 3.2, then any of the 3 post 3.2 *make sure the druid skin matches the cats* and have the Pet be named the same as or, as close as possible to the Druids name
3. Make a guild called *hunter's name*s pet and invite the druid. make sure the hunter isnt in it too to make it look less dodgy.
Now we have something like this: Note the lack of ' on the druid
So, the General Plan:
Have the Hunter's pet attack using sprint/dash/charge or w/e
have the druid attack using fav method, Stealth is best, yet dismiss the pet when the druid attacks
Hopefully, The enemy will think the Druid is the pet and CC it whilst looking for the Hunters stealth partner
??
Arena points
Draw Backs:
1. addons - Gladius and such will report you as a druid as soon as they get a lock on your druid, this can be solved by starting in stealth (well my gladius misses stealthies) and having the hunters pet initially charge. THis wont prevent Gladius from recording you as a druid but ill cause a decent amount of confusion *note, the built in wow one will do this too*
2. Alliance - there are few cat models that look akin to the Nelf Druid graphic. Although this will be beter in 3.2 as there are black cats.
2.5 Horde - Druid Horns, bit of a give away
3. Common Sense - A decent arena team that can realise whats happening can prevent the confusion quite quickly. Cant be avoided.
Some Notes:
---This will work much better in Bgs as the hunter does not have to dismiss the pet and the confusion is alot grander outside the hunter druid combo
---Most people will not want to pay 20g (opps $20 i mean) for this name change and leave their guild for this so Alt Twinks are best for this, you can catch noobs out in this situation too
---This is Purely for fun only and is not intended to be a serious tactic for Pvp, just a bit of fun you and a mate can have on an off night or whatever.
Enjoy and be sure to post some screenies if you attempt it, im planning on doing this on a private server for a better graphic and to see how it goes
