So I usually just pug 2v2s with any random dps. This is usually fine against rogue-mage but I tend to have more friction against shaman-warrior. I saw that this is the second most played 2v2 comp, and just wondering what strategies you use to win against them.
Which classes would play well with unholy dk considering fury shaman and hunter priest are so popular at the moment?
Any healer? Rsham if you wanna be turbo mongo, but I’d prob just stick to rdruid or MW honestly.
If you’re set on playing double DPS, you prob just want to grab an enhance or ret
My favorite partners are priest - druid. Obviously one being the offensive option and the other being more passive damp.
I’m a big 2s player and war/rsham is one of the comps I still struggle to execute correctly when they play it well but I’ll offer what I can until a bigger 2s hero can.
Vs warriors you need to be good at the chains and kite playstyle for when you’re not actively doing meaningful damage to try and kill. Some things about current warrior is that they can’t be slowed on their bang so I rely on using wraith walk to clip pillars and deny the spam charges which will also help you line the rsham. When this comp is trying to kill you they’re spamming purges and throwing lava bursts so being in line of sight of the shaman during their attempt is very danger.
The key moments to look for aside from that positioning los stuff is going to be.
Hex
Earthen wall
War CDs
Healing tide
Imo that’s the order of importance to stop. Hex for obvious reasons you’re going to get trucked if that ever hits your healer. And you should use the positioning stuff above to make it hard for them to even be in a spot to cast it.
Earthen wall is the holy grail defensive vs multiple small hit specs like unholy. Track when they have it and when they don’t and be ready to drag the warrior out of that spot.
Tide is going to be hard if they hide it try to keep 1-2 coils saved up for when they drop it. Sometimes you have to just let it go if it’s in a bad spot for you to get to (luckily 2s goes deep damp fast)
And again on the warrior CDs try to lower their uptime on you and keep chains on the shaman so they can’t assist in killing you.
I think when the gates open and dampening hasn’t happened yet you get a pretty solid chance to just manhandle them in the opener so you can try to all in either war or shaman if you’re playing with priest and then adapt from there if it doesn’t work.
If all else fails dismount ontop of the shaman and win or lose in 30 seconds that’s what I’d do
