After watching Ellay's video and reading through some of the strategy posts, my 4x Shaman + Healer climbed from 1543 to 1660 in 11 games, going 10-1! We even beat a team with TWO Blastwave Mages! A few notes:

1. Your spots are dead on, Ellay. I had virtually no LoS issues sitting on either side of the bridge in Nagrand and there was no way for them to LoS me. Bwuahahha!

2. Patience is your friend! Our one loss to 1660 was just pure stupidity on my part (See number 3) and I can attribute all of the wins to PATIENCE! When they come to you it's like sheep to the slaughter.

3. When someone get's PS'd, don't try and dispell it, just swap to another target.

4. Patience is your friend!

5. Uh, don't get your team to 1660 and then get farmed for 40 points by a RDruid/RDruid/Rogue/Rogue/Mage team in full S3/T6 >< I'm curious to hear Ellay's opinion on how to beat this setup as a boxer. Le sigh.

Oh, and my new view is that Pallies make the best healers for 4x Shaman team. Blessings+BoP+Immunity to Sheep=Teh winzors.

is that resto druid / resto druid?

Put pressure on the Mage, 2 rogues shouldn't be too bad of an issue, but if you need to peel them off of you quad shock and it usually pulls them away :) or.. Fire Nova -> Shock

Oh ya, that's one of those odd ball setups btw and you won't see much of that at all in higher ratings.

The problem with being low rated is that you face the weird teams, and very often.

Most of the cookie cutter teams in that bracket are terrible though, so thats good.

Yea, was two resto Druids. The first game we killed the Mage and then just got wore down. The second game we didn't even get the Mage down. The problem is that with Cheat Death, CLoS, Vanish etc it was easy for them to break LoS and let the HoTs keep'em up. Unfortunately we fought them both times in Blade's Edge--I'm sure if we were in Nagrand or Lordaeron we'd most likely have beat them.

Yeah, I'm all about facing the "regular" comps :) It's the 4 Warlock team (Don't know how I beat them but we did) or the 3 Mage team that messes me up now haha.

Edit: And on the healer issue, HoJ+JoJ is just plain better than another Grounding totem or Pounce+HoTs imo~
