2200 with 2's possible?

[3box]

Hello all. Gave up warcrack a few years ago. Had 5 shamans to almost 70, and got burnt out. Revived an account a month or 2 ago, just casually questing and perusing the AH. Started a JC and saw the gold flow in, but sitting there hitting macro buttons for an hour+ was no fun. So I SoR'd another account, and the new 80 does the JC shuffle on a 2nd computer while I quest/BG/whatever.

Well, I'm sure most of you can see where this is going. Can one get to at least the 2200 level in 2's? I've read some threads here saying 4 accounts with another person playing healer is an ideal setup. This time for me, 2 accounts, maybe 3 at the most is all I'm up for. I have a very unpredictable work schedule, so finding a steady partner is unlikely.

If the answer is no, I'll probably just keep the 2nd account open for an AH mule and the mind numbing shuffle.

Thanks.

Yes you can although atm its very difficult, you would have a better chance at the start of a season, but why would you want to put yourself through the pain. Because that all 2s is atm its just so painful. Many really good pvpers team hop just to play until their 3s partners come online currently and they dont care about ratings so once you get to the @1800s your in for a very tough fight. You cant get t2 weapons or titles(beside arena master achv) from 2s anymore only points and cap increase.

Your best bet and what I did is use 2s as a practice arena for 3s and grab a third person for 3s. If you play 2s and care at all about rating you will burn yourself out fast.

Thanks for the response Fat Tire. Have looked at some of your other posts....until someone helps me do 3's, do you recommend DK/DK or Ret/DK for an arena noob in 2's? Is a pally worth the extra macros/keybinds? Any other effective class combos come to mind also? Will have to figure out ISBoxer again I suppose. Thx again.

Just realize on the 2 hardest battlegroups in the EU for example, there are 17 and 25 teams higher than 2.2k in 2s, which is a good indication how hard it would be.

On my bg in US theres only 5 teams above 2200.

Boxing 2's isn't easy to do because surviving shit like hunter/rogue and feral/hunter require a lot of pillar humping which isn't easy as a multi-boxer.

The most successful teams right now are:
fire mage/priest
rogue/priest
hunter/rogue
hunter/feral
mage/rogue

You honestly don't see many dk/ret or ANY dk/dk that high.

Zenga & Shodokan, noted your advice as well, thank you. Sounds like it'll be rough.
