Arms warrior into boomy/mage

Feels bad. Somehow went 4-2 but I feel like I sat in root, snare the entire game. Even winning it wasn’t fun. These are also low MMR games like 1750. Anytime I popped any meaningful cds I was either polyd or cloned. Makes me not want to play warrior at all

I mean this is such a niche comp to complain about playing warrior into.

If it’s shuffle then just zug and pray. If it’s actual 3s then just rotate cds with healer and you’ll eventually win because of having an MS and easy setup.

Just some thoughts, spell reflect when you burst to prevent poly / clone, leap / charge / intervene when snared instead of running, avatar removes snare /roots or you can bladestorm out of it, stormbolt or kick clones/ poly where you can. consider piercing howl too as you can snare them back and try to keep up or a hamstring

rebound pvp talent might be useful against the comp to give you 2 reflects for poly & clone and they prob won’t expect it.

just press bladestorm no peelies

You can use battlefield comander and Master and Comander to have 1 min remove snare + Bladestorm + Gnome Racial, its hard and kinda boring but doable if your healer knows how to press dispel

curiously, how would you make this winnable in shuffle?

hug a pillar and wait for a chance? You can’t remove roots as quickly (or as passively) as they are applied

I never see hivemind coordination in shuffle like I do when I’m arms v wizard/wizard or spriest v zug/zug

My boomkin does abuse warriors but they deserve it :joy:

Welcome to the warrior experience! I think this is why so many warrior players get so upset about balance, because it’s really the only class that has legitimate downtime and it feels awful.

That being said, as you noted, you went 4-2. So even WITH cc and limited uptime, you still blasted.

Yeah luckily saving my big cds for the few seconds I had to connect was enough to seal the deal in a few matches. Was also using intervene to close the gaps on the boomy if it was closer to my teammates. Worked out

You hope your healer is playing well, that’s essentially all you can do
