5s How do you deal with with cleave teams?

[Clovis]

Maybe my battle groups is just screwed up but as soon as we got the 1500 bracket we faced exclusively cleave teams ranging from 1700-2200 -- I mean that's all it is, cleave -- the warrior charges in, blade storms --I'll try to blow him up but he's got so many buffs, HP and realizes that all my guys are dead within seconds -- we're seeing alot of dual warrior blade storm teams.

If we get a ranged team its a very different game adn we usually win but any team with heavy melee that just comes in doing AOE damage, I'm helpless.

Help?

ok i struggled hear also.. tonight i kinda got past it so ill help ya... at this point i was stuck at 1500 no higher no lower.. i played about 100 games (no joke maybe more), slowly going up maybe to 1550 then back down.. ei no cleave teams then wtf! cleave teams... So How i deal with cleave teams

1. they jump on me fast, so i need to jump on them faster. example, sewers.. i run out on mount not even totem, instant cast the warrior (usually 33k health?) while he is still jumping down from the top or walking up or w/e.. (i use trinkets first), then 4 thunderstorms then dead.. then its just a normal team.
2. if this doesnt work.. go defesive make them pop trinkets and stuff.. just SPAMMM heals like crazy.. then kick them back with thunderstorm using round robin, and kill someone other than the warrior.. they will not expect it.. then move on owning them..
3. kill the ranged dps that are out in the open, and put earthbind on roundrobin, and put that down to keep the guys off ur pod..
4. /2, wtb full relentless healer to heal through the cleave teams.. thats always a option.. lol (have fun finding that)

Ogloo plretty much summs it up ;)

In my experience vs cleaves with two arms warriors, thisese teams are easyer than the ones with only one warrior. Just fake that u will gibb the one with the lowest hp, the swich fast and blow the best geared one up. helps for me atleast

I killed a 4 mele team ench,retri,arms rogue, disc. using this tactic np. i altso killed a 4 retri, 1holy team(farmed them actualy ^^), gonna git it in my next movie ;)

Cool, thanks for the advice I'll try it out tonight :)

We keep getting to 1515 or so and then back down to 1450 =/ I'd really love to get to 1800 on all 4.

uull get there man! my teams at 271 games this season.. (new partner also.. so not that long.. more games actually), but we are still at 1600, i could see going for 500 games till i get 1800, then maybe a couple more for 2k lol
