Back at 70, as a fairly fresh 70 in mostly blues and - resilience, I made a 2v2 team with an equally ungeared level 70 guildmate of mine. We played 3 skirmishes, lost all three in under 20 seconds each, and I've never set foot in an arena since.

Mind you, now I have a holy spec, and 9 or 10 pieces of pvp gear (mostly 213, a 226 and a 245) and so once I get a few more, I might see about poking my head back in.

As a Shaman, I only bother going into the Arena when we're halfway decent.

3.2.2 made sure I don't ever want to go back.

Not sure why they decided to nerf Shaman again. It's not like we were even good. Ever.

"Can't do that while stunned."
"Can't do that while stunned."
"You are dead."

That's all I ever see, personally.

The huntard Explosive Shot is my least favorite.

[Sir Psycho]

Well, I will say that clothies have it the worst in Arenas.

I 3 shot Mages and Priests once I get their bubble down.

[tsugomaru]

Clothies have the lowest hp and armor out of all the armor classes there are.

Personally, I think the way the armor system is at the moment, makes sense actually.

Melee should have more health that casters/ranged to begin with. Melee take more splash damage than ranged/casters do. If we had lower health, we'd die as quick as the ranged do when we accidentally stand in a fire for 1 second which ticks for 18k per second(which melee STACK on one another, which would cause use to all die).

Plus, I think it's a bit more realistic that plate should have more health than other classes.

Plate wearers LOOK like they can take a beating, more than a mail wearer(who can take more of a beating than leather[who can take more of a beating than clothies])

Plus, too much homogenizing is a bad thing.

I can still 3 to 5 shot a mage/priest in full furious though.

[Grandiagod]

Technically they should have their teammates be doing something about that.

Well, in 2s, most mages run with another DPS. And most priests run with rogues. Rogues can't really peel me off the priest. And when Im facing a double DPS(like mage/rogue), the rogue gets kill real quickly and then the mage just sort of gives up.

I'm wondering how 2x holy paladin would stand up in 2v2s. On the one hand, we don't have all that much damage output, but on the other hand, we'd be grossly difficult to kill.

Probably worse now that the prot healers got nerfed eh?

You'd hit the 47 minute time limit cause you both to lose and lose a retarded amount of rating.

[devonin]

Pretty sure that we could keep each other alive quite easily while still dealing a reasonable amount of damage. I can 1v1 people to death in holy without it taking that long. Holy shock, shield of righteousness, judgements, it all adds up.

[Sir Psycho]

I've fought a double healer team before, it just takes forever. Literally before they gave arenas a timer, I fought one for over an hour until we gave up.

I just listened to several people in my Direbrew party who all have level 80 shaman main/alts talk -at length- about how broken and overpowered shaman are in PvP.

[Sullyman2007]

Judging from everything I've seen Shaman are ridiculous in PvP.

I'm pretty sure every class has at least one talent in either of their trees that reduces stun/fear/silence duration effects.
