Currently I am boxing Locks in 3's with limited success. As I have worked out variuos strats I fluxuate between 1450 and 1700. Honestly pretty much any team under 1600 I am winning because i just flatout outgear teams at that rating. My goal is to hit 2050 in 3's. For one of the warlocks this is the only team I am playing him on.
The set up I use is 2 Gnome Locks and 1 Human all 3 are geared s2 or better with my main being s4 geared. All of them are boxed on one PC. I have 2200 experience, so from a technical perspective I have a pretty good idea on the class mechanics for arenas. My biggest problem at this point is boxing execution which I think I am turning the corner on. I really heavily on focus macros for cc so not using focus follow/assist macros I think puts me at a disadvantage.
All 3 Locks are Sl/SL. After playing 200+ games with various combinations not only is SL/SL just easier to manage, but when the fight comes down to 1 v 1 an SL lock is just vastly superior.
I use the human with a felhunter as the main and the gnomes with suckies as clones. The idea here is to set up a focus target on a healer or mage with the Felhunter for spelllock and to focus DPS with the suckies for chain seduce. The other added benifit with the suckies is the damage bnonus.
When things go right:
I will pick a target that doesnt have some sort of bubble for primary DPS. Typically warrior, hunter or lock. Once I am sure of my primary DPS target I will send in the suckies for chain seduce on my CC target and engage. The DR on Seduce is pretty bad, but I try to time it so that as seduce wears off 1 second later another one lands. After DR is hit on Seduce I go into a Deathcoil rotation. I can effectively CC for 20-25 seconds. At this point as soon the primary healer shows to heal or dispell I put him into a fear rotation that usually will win the game
Now 3 sets of trinked dots on anything other than a Mage, Rogue or Pally is over 30k damage. If I get one spellock on a healer it can be gg already. At this point assuming there is a healer I will apply 3 sets of dots on the healer making sure to keep tongues up. When I get a good opener agianst teams with out Rogues or Mages I can't remember ever losing.
I don't buy the argument that this can be healed through or dispelled.This isn't being dispelled in 3's so I don't see how it could be dispelled in 5's. When i lose it is because of rogue arena infestation or the other team just cc'd me better and I couldn't get all my dot's up.
