WoW 1600 Tier 2v2 Arena - Hunter/Druid vs. Arcane Mage and Discipline Priest Preface: I recently spent some time entirely overhauling my bare UI from how I had it for 3+ years in order to improve my "game." (It still needs a ton of work) I also changed my movement keys from "wasd" to "esdf" in order to have more bind keys available. But habits...are hard to break. ...and I still need time to acclimate to these major changes. This fight flip-flopped in each team's favor multiple times, which is why I chose to upload it. Hopefully others can learn from the bits of triumph and mistakes. Keep in mind as you watch this that Moonfire costs 495 mana to cast... Still learning, as always! -Dreamspirit

Jan 19, 2008 - wow im not gonna lie, that was the noobiest fight i've ever seen. Any ways at the beginning you should of just spammed cyclone on the priest and try to get your hunter to kill him. Man me and my druid, (im a lock) would of tore through that team ez w/ all the cc the priest wouldnt get a heal off.

omgsaladpwns Says:

Jan 19, 2008 - when i said kill him i meant to say kill the mage while the priest is cc'ed :P

Jan 28, 2008 - cba to read all the other comments: my comment is, hehehehe don't spam moonfire against the priest when its a mana war. . . . O_O

kingofsarnia Says:

Jan 30, 2008 - Im going to add some comments hurray! Personally when i see a none frost mage or even a frost mage with a healer i like to dps them over draining. Getting your hunter to CC the healer with a frost trap and u time bashes cyclones that the priest can be inactive for 20 ish seconds. A Hunter has no trouble against similarily geared mages so thats no issue. if the intial burst doesnt work, then switch to drains ofcourse.

kingofsarnia Says:

Jan 30, 2008 - Wheres scorpid pet!! the scorpid poison tricks with viper sting allowing a possible tick from a would be dispelled viper but can break a trap so watch carefully

Dreamspirit Says:

Jan 30, 2008 - *laughs!* We have one now. :) This was recorded during my first week as resto for 2v2, so my hunter was still leveling his scorpid pet. Fear not! Now we just need to coordinate so the ticks from its poison don't mess up his traps..., :)

Dreamspirit Says:

Jan 30, 2008 - I... usually don't. >_> I just got carried away and that won't happen again, I swear! ...I can't believe I wasted about 40% of m€y mana on moonfires.... lesson learned though. :)

Dreamspirit Says:

Jan 30, 2008 - Dude, I LOVE constructive feedback: THANK YOU! :D Usually with my hunter, we didn't try the "cc the healer" strategy (which starts off this video), but it worked incredibly well so I'm trying it with that pairing and some of my other "twos" a bit more. If you can coordinate it right, it's certainly effective! I think one of the reasons with druid/hunter we find ourselves focusing the priest so much..

Dreamspirit Says:

Jan 30, 2008 - (continued from below) is because a priest can mana drain a hunter or druid dry pretty quickly, so we have to watch ourselves (especially since I have a few pieces of feral gear, which have no mp5 and low int). But it's interesting hearing your thoughts on mages/healers. What teams do you find you and your partner have the most trouble with? I know warlocks are my personal bane. :-/

Dreamspirit Says:

Jan 30, 2008 - In the beginning I noobed it up with the moonfire spam, oh god yes. My problem there was that I was out of diminish returns on feral charge/bash/cyclone, so there was nothing else I could do to stop the priest from healing. :-/ WHat I SHOULD have done was to switch cyclone to the mage (since he can't be healed when he's cycloned) and then switch back to cycloning the priest after 3x cyclone casts on the mage. Hindsight is wonderful like that. >_>

Dreamspirit Says:

Jan 30, 2008 - (continued) one of my 2v2s is actually druid/warlock. We only started the last week or two, so we've only been in the 1600-1700s, but I'm enjoying it alot. There is a lot more sustained CC potential with that than hunter/druid, I'm finding, and fear is a lot more annoying for teams to deal with.

kingofsarnia Says:

Jan 31, 2008 - very true, however hunter druid is the strongest team past 2000 bracket as most top teams are hunter druid. But druid and dps class(war,rogue,hunt,warlock) are all great but require different playstyles and have there own weaknesses and strenths, truth is find the one you like most imo druid warrior = ezmode

JournJ Says:

Feb 5, 2008 - how can druid/hunter be scared of mage/priest? just run in already

Dreamspirit Says:

Feb 5, 2008 - If they get in a good fear/silence/cs combo on me, they can turn the match in their favor pretty quickly, so we prefer to make them come to us. :)

JournJ Says:

Feb 5, 2008 - are you sure the mage was arcane spec? if i noticed an arcane mage...i would..just laugh.

TyroneLB70 Says:

Feb 8, 2008 - nice sheep and fear from priest :S not

stridren Says:

Feb 8, 2008 - ur screen seems cluttered

wolfiusmaximus Says:

Feb 9, 2008 - cool vid! im currently a noob but that was still interesting to watch, what server do u play on? i wanna fight u guys sometime :p

lukeluggert1212 Says:

Feb 10, 2008 - i am a resto druid at 2k and im wonderinb where the cc was when the mage was at 10%

Dreamspirit Says:

Feb 10, 2008 - It was on DR on the priest. In hindsight: I should have started cycloning the mage until DR was up on the priest so the mage didnt' receive heals. :-/ Do you have any videos of your own matches, perchance? ^_^

blindguardian Says:

Feb 10, 2008 - pretty dumb to say a mage manaburned your hunter. lack of knowledge perhaps?

Dreamspirit Says:

Feb 10, 2008 - The mage sheeped my hunter and the priest mana-burned him. :P
