I’m new to the game and I have recently been trying 2v2 skirmish as enhancement. How do you guys do anything? It feels like as soon as we get in, I get perma cc by a rogue that comes out of nowhere or a range dps and just die immediately. What am I supposed to be doing to avoid this?
If you don’t have good gear and you go against a geared rogue… there’s nothing you can do.
For anything else, you just want to make sure you pop your defensives before you’re cc’d. Earth ele, astral shift, wolves (for msw).
If you can drop a grounding totem (good against paladin stun) and earthbind. It will give you in most cases the time you need to pop wft, ascendance, and lust. With those 3 up just spam wind strike 'till they’re at 40% or less then instant chain harvest, and they won’t even get to hit you because this all works at range. It will literally melt ANY class you go against, including tanks.
The only counter is cc, out range, out heal, or immunity.

skirmishes are the absolute worst. i’m trying to learn dps as well and am always just getting instantly deleted by people with almost 40k hp. I think if there is anywhere for pvp scaling to be in the game it is here, where it is meant to LEARN arena. Not just get demoralized and hate pvp even more.

mostly gear but you’ll wanna have earth shield on yourself and get your earth ele with hp conduit down before the rogue opener
(ideally healing stream also)
when you get more gear getting opened on with lightning shield will get you enough maelstrom typically to get a big surge off out of the stun then swap to earth shield after

I had the same issues with resto, but switched covenants to Necro.
Fleshcraft shield makes a huge diff, especially with Earth Ele health buff before fleshcrafting.
Earthshield is a must too.
I hit Earth Shield, and Earth Ele just before gates open, and Fleshcraft right when the gates open.
Other than that its gear - the more Vers, the better.

WoW PvP is Gear verse Gear for the most part. Someone who has never PvP’d before can and will slaughter you with a 70 IL gap, and there’s nothing you can do about it. They could literally close their eyes and hammer fist their keyboard to kill you.

The gear difference is obnoxious. In my opinion, all PvP players should always be equal on gear in a BG or Arena, it is the only way a full skill on skill fight takes place. Let PvE and progression be where gear matters in order to progress.
