Heya, I just started playing WoW again after a month break. Got some people to play with and got a 3v3 team going, everything was going well building up the charter, we were undeafeated until we started reaching the 1950's, then It started to get bad.

Over the last few days we have been stuck at this rating for a reason, dual melee teams. We play 2 combos mainly ; Warrior Warlock Druid and Rogue Warlock Druid. And it just seems like everytime we get a double melee, no matter how good or how bad they are (most are horrible and do lot of mistakes, while others show great skills and destroy us even faster) we just keep losing no matter what we do.

The usual (and only strat we have seen) consist in zerging the clothie (me, warlock) with either a warrior / rogue or a warrior / ret pally (haven't seen these ones in ages, seems blizz buffed them while I was gone and it worked ^^) coupled with a druid or sometimes a priest.

If they can't get me down by ccing my healer and raping me in 2 secs, they just get one of their melee going after my pet and eventually one of us will die, or my druid will run oom.

I would like to see something to be done about these dual
melees team that are plaguing the 3v3 brackets. All these guys do is
zerg any clothies in sight and win instantly, yes it's that *******
easy and need an immediate nerf.

It's as if not worst
than the warrior-druid combo in 2v2.

Obviously a simple thing could fix most of the problems with wow arena.
A nerf to warrior, who have been the most powerfull class during ALL 3
SEASONS in ALL BRACKETS for a LOT of reasons.

I hope you guys were able to understand my english.

What do you think?

Warrior mobility is too good.  You have to be able to admit that.  15 second intercept?

Of course druid CC is dumb.

Warlocks from Season 2 to Season 3 received 66 total more armor. Melee received 500+ armor penetration and that's not even including things like executioner.

A warlock who I assume plays druid/lock is complaining about druid/warrior?

And I was under the impression that warriors were less represented than certain other classes in 3v3. Not that we're weak by any means, I never argued otherwise.

This game is based on counter comps. In season 1 when paladins were the best healers, double melee comps were laughable because paladins are good counters to melee. Melee are probably the best classes against warlocks, priests and druids so of course double melee teams are becoming common.

Maybe we'll see paladins make a comeback before 2.4 because of all the double melee teams.

I am sure your warlock will still get raped by a rogue/rogue/druid setup, so yea go ahead and nerf warriors, you clueless dumbass.

Get a paladin instead of druid if double melee is raping you. The top dual melee teams struggle against warlock/paladin/warrior or rogue teams.

How can you idiots say its the DRUID? Both teams have a DRUID.

War/Rogue is the problem. Easy mode train 1 target, ridiculous DPS/Burst/Control. You can't get away nor can you do anything while they are on you. War/Rogue stuns need to all share DR's for starters, the rest I don't know.

The combo certainly needs to be nerfed however, and mind that this combo is also extremely effective with a resto druid, lust/purge gg.

Team up with a retri-pala and you have the perfect restrodruid gib team(warrior, retripala, restoshaman).

I prefer playing with a different healer then a druid when running this comp. Either way, the comp just caters to bad players. You're around 1950, thus it means nothing.

Thanks.

this wont be popular, but make Cylone a 41point balance skill and give treeants to all druids.

I used to play a Warlock called NoFrag on Tichondrius and Darkspear. I gave it away and started a druid on Mannoroth, named SUPAHSWAGGA ! On this blog, I'll try to comment on news and WoW changes, while trying not to be boring.
