quad shammy vs 2x warr, 3x healer wset up?

[Kaynin]

I just encountered this set up,

Disc priest, Resto shaman, Resto druid, 2x ms warrior.

As a quad boxing shaman, what's the best way to deal with this? There's to much healing to down a warrior for me. The healers LoS kite perfectly. I swap back and forth, try to get the healers into the open, but when I swap to healers, there's not enough time. :<

Manaed to kill one of the warriors in one match once, but, even then, I couldnt bring down the other and my healer eventually went ooom. O_o

Any idea how to beat a set up like this?


PS: I tried everything I could think off, and I can't find a solid way to oppose a team like this. Should I take the losses and get on with it hoping not t0o face the set up anymore? D:

i found that a tough combo too, even with 1 war and lots of healers taking the bastard down was hard work, had to keep healers onthe move and get them to run outa LoS so you could get a shot at the war

I think for this setup you have to put enough pressure on the healers to keep them from LoSing you. I also think using a focus macro would help you a lot so that you can fire off a volley without them seeing who you have targeted. For instance, start burning down a warrior, then throw your big damage volley at the focus target. The target won't know its coming and the healers won't either.

This is an awesome idea. D: I'll need to make some macro's then, but this sounds really good! Í'm going to try it, thanks. <3

iv fightet this combo 5 times today 2 defferend teams both was 2 warrior pala shaman druid

I stat of by giving the one warrior some dmg and putting down nova totems, this made all there healers spam heal the warrior so i change to the shaman gave him a lb and then the instant, that killed the shaman in all 5 matches, after that i killed eather druid or 1 warrior.

The one team even made an alt on my server to flame me for boxing :)

If one of the healers is a resto shaman or druid... Nuke the first warrior so they get caught up healing him... then switch do LB > NS EM CL > ES on the druid/shaman they are squishy. Then you got 2 healers and 2 warriors to deal with and should be able to out dps the 2 healers on the warriors.

[Kaynin]

Well, this team was very good with LoS kiting, the moment I targeted a healer, they'd go behind a pillar. So they caught on quick, I'm making some focus dps macro's now, so I can switch to a healer or another char, I set as focus earlier instantly without having them catch on. I suppose that's the best I can do.

When I encounter this setup (and it happens alot).. I kill a warrior and then a healer - Then they usally leave 0o? Maybe this is just me who it has happened to?

[Kaynin]

Heh, the team I faced was 1600 at the time, but now 2k+ with a very high win percentage. :P

Maybe they were just good. Lol.

[iztehzha]

Maybe :rolleyes:

[Crayonbox]

personally, i prefer doing a round on the warrior to get all the healers out there healign, then going on either the priest or the shaman. I hate getting all my heroisms mass dispelled or getting all my lightning bolts grounded by 1 grounding :(

[Kaynin]

Ugh, I just had the worst day ever today arena wise, dropped 150 rating. :P

I try to kill the priests asap because I've often lost due to mana burn. D:

Oh well, today was terribad for me, I had a nice win percetage, now thats down to 50% :p I play against the same teams ofver and over tho, I know I probably should stop when I loose in an inactive battlegroup as I'm in, but I can't help myself. xD

Oh well. tomorrow is another day. :D

[DemonWithin]

easy in theory to say kill a healer with nukes etc but hard to pull off they arent just your everyday scrubs remember they know how to play and play well

[Kaynin]

Aye, their timed intimidating shouts offset my burst considerably, and easily 'cc' me the first 10 seconds of the fight, despite tremor totems. Then there's mace stuns and such that often rend me unable to dps with all four simultaniously, which gives the healers more of an advantage, being three specifically.

If you put pressure on the warriors they should be shifting into defensive stance with a shield on which means they are doing very low damage, if they don't they'll die very fast. You can load a Fire Nova totem into your combo since they are on top of you.

I met a high rated where the warrior went def and shield. And I took 27 rating from them. :3

I've more trouble against warriors that dont go def and nuke down my chars tbh. xP

You're at 1658 with kind of crappy pvp gear, i think you are doing great for what you have. I'm sure you'll keep moving up as you gear out pvp wise, this is assuming your armory has your pvp gear equipped.

It has the correct gear equipped.

I'm going to grind the s2 shoulders now so in a few days I'll have the 4 set piece bonus. Right now my weakest point is aoe, with the 4 set piece bonus, that weakness will be greatly reduced!
