First Impressions sham/rog

So I picked up a shaman in 2v2 today to replace my pally while hes away for 2 weeks.  And while I pvp'd with a resto shaman before and it was tons of fun and a great amount of winning, we hit an early ceiling due to his lack of gear.  Now this shaman finally is geared as well as I am and my first impressions are great.



And hopefully I'll be able to chime in on his 5v5 team which seems to be doing semi-ok... only 1800ish atm but finding a 5v5 team in vindication has been a pain for over a month.



The only downside is that he would like his no-geared rogue (wow what a noob he is at rogue lol... 2 blinkstrikes?) to get some points so I've agreed to that.  So we play 3 matches with 2 rogues and get war+druid, war+sham, war+druid... lol... what happened to the 300 priest/warlock teams we'd have a nice chance against?  The 1st match with the druid was real close atleast, but I don't think he knew what he was doing with his cds to effectively finish off the warrior.



Anyway, back to rog/sha, as before I have found it very enjoyable.  And now the shaman won't be decimated by non-melee as fast as my first experience with a resto shaman.  And being able to tank warriors is a fine fine bonus, but any smart warrior will probably jump on to me if he is smart.  But thats where ES has proven valuable to be cast upon me.  Purge is a godsend like always vs those classes who love their shields and blessings, but in the end I am real interested in having a partner who loves to pvp as much as I do.  TBH none of my previous partners were willing to put the extra time in to get the extra stuff that makes you excell in pvp, but this guy has already done it... like myself.  More to come.
