3v3 arena advice needed

Post by Nitefoxxy

im in a 3v3 team we just started none of us have realy arena'd before. i pvp in WG and BG's but just started arenas. i think im decently geared i have like 940 resilience mostly the deadly gladiator gearfrom honor.

we formed our team with me (surv) another hunter BM and a resto shammy. we failed epically our first few matches.

so we decided to make some changes the bm is switching to his pally for this week. i respecd mms for readiness with scatter shot in surv. seemed to me there was more kite ability in MMS.

we did well against a priest dk mage team who were well above our paltry rating. i find dk's pretty easy to kite as well as warriors. i wont bring up pallies they are my bane.

besides pallies we have had massive trouble fighting teams with druid healers and most we fought had one.

how do we overcome teams like druid pally <insert any other class>

what should i try to kite and kill first?

and any other suggestions would be great.

im not good at linking stuff but my hunter is stalkingfox on garrosh server if anyone cares to check me out. any advice thats constructive would be great even spec options.

thanks in advance of anyone who replies

excellent advice as we had been setting me at bursting healers (ceot pallies) or clothies down as surv. i made the switch to mms because i thought i saw a greater ability to CC and kite but much less burst than survival (you have me confused a bit when you say go survival for the CC of a healer but im thinkin its solely for wyvern sting. i was thinkin with readiness and scattershot i could do more CC by being able to avoid CD's after bloing my proverbial load.

we havent yet implemented my new spec or the pally. he is our raid tank with thus far limited in pvp gear. so i imagine he may opt to stay prot tilll he gears up.

is prot at all viable in a 3's arena? i see them in BG's and they seem deadly enough for me.

i of course would love to see him go ret and get some nicer pvp gear.

we are not super serious yet as far as the need to win every fight but we would like to see an improvement over goin 2-8 in our first ten matches. and our two wins seemed easy against the teams we beat.

beyond that what better suits a 3's team a disc priest, pally, shaman combo; a DK pally Sham combo or a hunter pally sham combo? i have 3 80's but just the hunter has pvp gear.

and is 940ish resilience considered par?

edit to add. Yes our shammy tries to hex one

When you CC with MM, you only have scatter and freezing trap, I don't know if scatter suffers from diminishing returns, but freezing trap does, so you'll actually get the same amount of cc essentially from SV, but SV has faster cooldowns to reset a cc chain then MM.

i get silencing shot form mm, and scatter from goin into surv. Readiness in MM gives me a way to refresh ALL talent CD's. so in effect would give me 2 sil shots 2 scatter shots and 2 traps in the matter of 20 secs? accounting for lag, decision making time and GCD's but it is prolly shorter than that. edit to add. also 2 disengages and deterences for kiting purposes

in survive i get scatter shot trap and wyvern and wait on cd's

thats why i respecd. with readiness i gain CC and kite ability through Readiness amirite? if im incorrect in my assumption by all means correct me im realy lookin to maximize my usefulness and get my team some wins. i was surv before and it was a CC issue for me being paired with a BM hunter.

Thanks you for helping me i realy do appreciate it

Your job in any arena team is to burst down your target, and keep aimed shot up on him. Also, two hunters in any group in any bracket means that you're losing other stuff. Hunter paladin shammie is much better balanced than hunter hunter shammie.

lol we came to that conclusion after a paltry 2-8 opening in arenas..........def will NOT be running 2 hunters from now on

however i still wonder if i was correct in my logic that MMS offers me more kiteability and CCability?

edited to add a ques.

now i have 3 80's my hunter counter part has 2 and the shaman is a shaman thats it so we in total for 3's team have the option of teamate 1. disc priest a DK a MMS hunter teamate 2. a BM hunter a Prot/ret pally and 3 shaman. what do you experts think would make for the best team?

my MMS hunter is in all pvp gear cept one trink slot. my priest has none nor my dk, however it took me only like 2 1/2 weeks of WG and BG grinding to gear up considerably for pvp so im not afraid of doing so on any of my toons.
