Good 2s comp for Frost DK
|
Hello guys,
Just looking for some advice for a good comp for Frost DK 2H. I have decent gear (403 conquest with Gurthalak LFR) I have Frost PVP rotations and playstyle practiced very well. I can play either double DPS or as a solo DPS with a healer. My question to the DK community is what is a good comp for me in 2vs2? Many Thanks Ume. |

Im thinking this, problems with me and a holy pala is if I come up against a fully geared and skilled Hpala it can be hard to win and turn into a v.long battle timing with my own Hpalas limited moves to help. I think ill look for a ret pala. |

Play blood
you can't die and just faceroll your way to victories. |
Play blood Yeah but only vs really bad players. DKs are free kills, dosnt matter what spec they play. Either way, go Frost DK+ Ret / Rshamn/ Disco priest. |

Play blood I dont want a fail arena spec. Blood is for PVE or for BGs, it has no place in decent rated arena. |

dont do 2v2 with a healer. It is just painful.
I agree with the above, ret pala is the only choice for frost dk in 2s. Win or lose, the matches will be over in a minute or two. Death or glory! Would frost dk/enhance shammy work? I reckon it might. |

dont do 2v2 with a healer. It is just painful. Was doing 2s with a healer last night and it is really long and painful, problem is if you get a team that know what they are doing they can cc me through all of my bursts (I need full burst to take down any decent hpala.) We didnt lose to any double DPS teams and lost 1-2 to healer/dps teams. I think im going to look for either: - ret pala (that way if they nuke me the ret can heal me well. - Sub Rogue for control on the offtarget so we can nuke down healer/dps fast Ill post back if I find any decent feeling comps. |

if you meet a half decent team with a healer it will be a stalemate everytime. You'd have more success speccing as unholy I reckon as they have more chance to kill a healer. There is a DK/disc team in my guild and they are always moaning about 30mins games! Think they are only at 1700 rating or something so I guess it'll be even worse as they progress.
If you played with ret I doubt he'll be doing much off healing. Both pop all your cooldowns at the start and nuke down the weakest opponent. If they survive your burst you'll probably lose, if they dont you win. That's how those games should go. Fast and frantic! |

Fast and frantic suits me just fine. Im fast on my mount and usually try to hit them before they have time to plan any cc rotations. Ill look for a decent ret I think. |

do you have to play 2s?
If you can find yourself a ret pala and a rogue then you will have a lot more fun imo |

do you have to play 2s? I am looking to do both 2s and 3s, I just wanted to start by doing 2s and get some experience from there. Thanks for the advice |

fair enough :) but if you are new to arena, dont let 2s put you off. It can be terribly frustrating

Haha yes I found that doing 2s with a healer. Just out of interest why are Hpalas a better comp for me than say a DPriest or Rsham? I find with my holy pala mate we easily beat most double DPS teams (RM is probably the toughest for us due to the rogue control on me if they play well) We seem to struggle against healer/dps teams and only if the healer is skilled and geared, good holy palas dont even lose mana so i find it hard against them especially if their burst heal > my burst dps. With my hpala partner he cannot do a great deal to help - denounce and HoJ obviously help to some extent but I feel more CC allowing for target switching might be better? Anyways just looking for discussion/advice. Thanks for the advice so far. |

I think resto druid, disco priest and holy pala are all perfectly viable partners.
(these are just my opinions, other people may well disagree) Holy pala: Holy paladin is the best partner you can have against double dps teams, you just wont lose many of those fights. They are the best defensive healer so will easily survive the double dps opening burst (usually!) and once that burst is over, you will go on to win the match easily. Unfortunately as they are such a defensive healer, when fighting healer/dps it's a matter of outlasting your opponent. This makes for games that you will likely win in the end, but it is often a long boring match to get that victory. Also, hand of freedom is uber for a dk. Resto druid/priest are more offensive healers so are better against healer/dps teams and they can help with the kill, but not so good against double dps as they can be nuked down more easily. This is my understanding anyway and I'm happy to be shot down as I dont play 2s with my DK. Personally, if I HAD to play with a healer, I'd go disco/shammy. But I'd take a dps above a healer any day, just because I hate the long matches |
