Priest + x4 DK in BGs

[Toned]

dks are running well my first arena games with ~3k resilience went 11-5 with resto druid and 11-12 with disci priest ... just to compare shamans had almost every week a negative winratio with full blue/some epics and three years experience

Ain't that the truth. I had the same issue I struggled to get wins in 5s with the shamans and I've been doing it since BC as well. Easily hitting 2k in most seasons.

Makes me sad on the inside that shamans are in the state they are right now, but the DK's are pretty fun. I'm sporting an ilvl 333 sword and 1500 resilience ohhhh yeaaa

My toons are finally level 85!


I had my blacksmith toon crafted x4 Bloodied Pyrium set and got the item level 333 from CoC.

My priest is also decked out in Emberfire / Fireweave set.

My resilience is 1.7K. In battlegrounds, I'm doing extremely well. Topping the charts as usual.

However, 5v5 arenas are going poorly I haven't even managed to kill a single opponent yet.

I'll try 2s for a while and see if that works better.

Lots of stuff in here, would be applicable to the DK portion of your team: http://www.dual-boxing.com/showthread.php?t=36048

@Toned,

I recently switched my priest from Holy to Disc. I tried using your macro above. It seems to work well, but Shadowfiend and Inner focus never seem to fire off.

Just be aware that you will get ass raped.

Mmmmmm

Hmm weird works for me how fast do you spam?

Maybe make a shadowfiend + IF macro on another key that you send see if that helps you out.

I have it set to send a key stroke on press and release. I also spam that key very fast. I'll fiddle with it see if that helps.

Does your priest oom very fast? It doesn't take long for me. I have it set to shield self plus the four dks, along with focused based heals. Seems like I oom in 10 to 20 seconds. I probably need more spirit and regen.

What spec do you use for disc? I copied the most popular based on arena rankings.

I probably should take more regen talents.

Stack spirit, reforge spirit, gem spirit, bring lots of water ><

Well I adjusted my spam rate and that fixed it!

Thanks for the suggestion. I had no idea the spam rate would affect it like this.

It also explains a few other problems I've been having, so mega thanks!
