How to beat DH/Boomy?

PVP Arenas
1
I run with a Rogue and a HPal for RLP. Usually Assa/Destro with the occasional Outlaw or Affliction thrown in and we've recently hit a wall close to 1750 and fell down to 1650

Minus the idiots who just run it because "zomg opaf team" and just give us free wins. The comp that 100% gives us the most trouble is DH/Boomy. RMX pisses us off but we can squeeze out a win here and there so long as we seriously outplay them, but DH/Boomy...all we've been able to do is hope they throw and just let us crush them

Rep/Fear Healer
Stun DH
CS Boomkin peels

Kill DH or quick boomkin switch outta form is pretty much the strat.

You win by leaving the Arena. You don't give them the gratification and take the high road.

Watching that over and over finally realized Saigiy sweet move in the back to paralysis and then throw in some lightning on the kill as well. Super really well timed Go to perfection.

Literally playing against any comp that out damages you by a lot, in the case of DH/Boomy, a metric f-ton, your only hope to consistently winning is playing the pillar and denying the boomy most of his damage and just spend all of your kidneys on the DH with instant CC on the Shaman.

your healer has to be gnome or void elf for the racial counter to root beam sry thats the only way :\\

nvm boomkin either sits bear while youre focusing him getting dampened by mana rift and dh meme damage or raining unhealable damage and infinite cc and healing

You wait for blizzard to do another balancing pass for pvp.

Seriously though...Boomkins are so dumb right now it's not even funny. They are way too tanky for how much damage they do(both burst and sustain..hello 40-90K+ burst windows and always doing 8-10k dps in arenas) and their utility is also way over the top when combined with everything else they have. I really do expect to see them nerfed very soon(I feel like 2/3 of the games I play have a boomkin in it now).

If you are playing Affli/rogue your kill condition is cross CCing and one shotting with drain life, ideally you want to kill the DH in a kidney with it

I would say line up Hoj blind +kidney for your kill setups, and pressure with repentance kidney setupd, everyone on that comp is a viable kill target if you stop clone spam consistently

The warlock should be playing Imp to dispel root/beam in this matchup
