    Default How to deal with entire teams that LoS?

    Finally got a super geared and skilled holy pally to try me out. Got up to about 1570 (from 1450) real fast and then ran into some teams that just seemed impossible to beat.

    I've played LoS teams, but usually it's one or two ctoons and the rest are melee or don't fully LoS due to lack of instants. We heal through the LoS damage, and kill the ones that stand out in the middle. but what about entire teams?

    The worst was: frost mage, hunter, fury warrior, resto shaman, holy paladin.

    The entire team would hide behind boxes/pillars/etc. on every single map.The surv hunter did such atrocious amounts of DPS, along with a instant shatter crit from the frost mage and little zoobox would go from 20k -> dead instantly. The fury warrior would come out on ocassion and when he was about to get bursted they'd throw earth shield and sacrifice on him and with 27k he wasn't dying even with 4x lvb + 4x cl. They didn't even need his dps anyway.

    One other team, entirely ranged, hunters+casters, did the same. The most I could possibly get off of them was flame shocks and purges. if someone stood out too long and died, they'd just rez while LoS'ing me again.

    I've tried running to them, fire nova totems for stuns, hexes, and thunderstorm, with little result. Either they go right back into the pillar they were already humping, or they fly so far away they're out of LoS again.

    Only thing I did not try was LoS'ing them myselves, because I figured it would do nothing but prolong the match and once again prevent me from killing anyone (without an isntant cast bursts i can't run back and forth like surv hunters)

    Any ideas? My goal is to hit mid 1600s so I can burn some of my honor and arena points and get hateful gear before it all goes to waste.

    Not the answer you want to hear but wait them out, keep your totems up as you get closer to them. When you do manage to kill the sacrifice player just camp his corpse. I know teams like that suck but 5 players after some time will eventually get tired of waiting as well.

    Lol, someone sounds as if they are looking forward to 3.1

    I know i am. While its all gone to pot i've managed to level up my enchanting on all my shaman, max out most of the Reps i can from doing heroics and farmed most if not all of the badge gear i can...I have to admit, the PvE side of things hasnt kept my interest for long so i cant wait for 3.1

    The only advice i could give myself would be to....forget arena and work on things that might give you the edge later on in the new season.
