2v2 and 3v3 arena shamans

[gotzkill]

im lvling up two shamans atm and i wanted to know if two elemental shamans are good for 2v2? Also if i get a resto shaman and my dual boxing shamans for 3v3 would that work aswell? Or tell me if you know any good dual boxing team that would be good for 2s or 3s with a partner

i dont think so unfortunently. The great thing about 5v5 is the power we have of burst direct damage. In 2v2 its more about survivability, in which i dont believe shamans are very good at.

You could always try, but i gues shamans are only good for 5v5, when u play 4 + a healer.

GL tho. :)

ele shamans are notoriously bad at 2v2, due to the difficulty in bursting people down from 100% to 0 with only 2 dps. Also due to most of shamans skills (totems, bloodlust, etc) best scaling up to a 5 person team.

Also, most 2v2 teams are all about draining your life/mana to 0, rather than burst dps which shamans excel at. Dps/healer dominate 2's.

If you are intent on doing 2v2 or 3v3 at 70 i would recommend a more 2v2 friendly class like warlock. Although im not sure if multiboxers are really "meant" to succeed in smaller brackets. I am trying to do 3v3 with my 3 shamans, they are badly geared though. I am losing most matches. I will report back here if i get any success in the future, when i get better gear.

Hope this didnt make you lose motivation, hehe.

Give a BM huntard a try.

Between decent CC, and a shit ton of DPS, you might be able to do OK. There was a team that got like 2100 with the makeup.

Hello. I had a 70 druid and 70 shammy when i learned about dualboxing. Moved one to a new account and started farming some moonkin gear.. After a few weeks of BGing i had Moonkin gear for 600 spell dmg. Not to much but okay. So i started 2v2, with my Moonkin + Elemental shammy. And after a few weeks of trying all kinda things to get it working i figured that the games i won was mostly when i left my shammy againts a wall and was stealthed with my druid next to a piller so that when they got in range of my shammy i would pop out in full nuke behind them while they attacked my shammy. A few nukes and then a timed NS to finnish from both + some moonfire spammes and tress would then start to kill half of my opponents... all DPS+DPS teams was then okay, but DPS+HEALER teams was like 100% lose...

Basicly. a player will have more or less 10k HP, 2 players will need like 3-5 spells each to get that down ( + the healing that target might get )... While in 3v3, they will probably need like 2-3 spells to get 10k down... but then in 5v5 you can 1-2shot a player... So 2v2 the main problem is that you cant deliver fast enought dps in a shot time.. and you should also expect that one of your toon will at some point be CCed or interupted now and then..

If 2v2, 2boxing is where you wanna stay i dont think 2 shammys will be the best choice... Maybe if you go 2h WF max melee specced /geared you might win a lot for insane WF crit + NS from both. But 2 ellys is not that way to go for 2v2. Also 2x POM mages would be a better choice. Or 2x Moonkins with good gear should be able to stealth in behind them and pop out 2x starfire + moonfire spamm 1 down kinda fast. s3 starfire crits do around 6k dmg. But you will need some gearing.

Maybe 2x rogues might work, but i dont know much about that..

You might aswell considure doing 2man into a 5v5 with 3 other ppl.. I was 2x restos in a 5v5 at some point and that works insanely good if you have to burst heal 1 target.. while healing 2 diffrent is kinda lame...

GL mate and please write down what you land on of classes :D
