Garlic :garlic: I have to say I legit just close my eyes and hope I can reach 2400 as mm in 2s so I can upgrade my 226 conduits.

My strategy is find good music on Spotify up the volume vs unwinnable matches like dh rdruid and survival hpriest and just somehow get back to back rng crits deep in damp.

Your win rate should be a solid 40-50 percent with your description above as those comps are almost only ones you see besides mage rogue and lock healer.

I’m not doing much arena anymore, but when I previously healed a warrior in 2s with my shaman, the biggest issue was definitely Rdruids. Hunters and DHs were also difficult to deal with and generally had to hope they made misplays.

Warriors for sure have classes they struggle to queue into.

I currently am healing a half-blind ape of a Warrior. Asks “What am I doing wrong” almost every game. Simple answers do more damage and take less damage. Low CR fake Glads like you really need to chill out and just get better. Not trying to be toxic just the way it works. Also, RadHunter if you are losing games as MM I would suggest leaving that Goblin you normally q with and send some big pumper games with a big pp healer.

Not sure what you are getting at. He is an ape, not a bad player just plays warrior and doesn’t look at CD trackers.

Yes, I was very subtle. Difficult to interpret.

Playing arms in 2s will give you depression atm.

Signed, a healer who qs with an arms around 2.4K in 2s. Don’t know why I do this to myself.

Goblin race changed but still has a goblin brain. Feels bad man

I would add in one thing, against rogue/mage run leaper and kill rogue, have your healer cross the mage/warrior reflects when you have uptime on rogue.

If you running with a shammy, mage can be a viable kill target too.

Or worse, lines you constantly, getting baited behind pillars, because he’s tunneling for the kill. Either dies or makes you use every CD to recover, then lose cause you have no CDs.
