My friend quit, I picked up his shaman and played it for 3 days, then did 10 arena games with a friends alt (I was ~1300 healing 260 resil) and bam, 1700 barely trying.
At this stage of the season there is jackshit difference, to me. I meet other full season three players at 1650 rating, though I suppose the lower pop battlegroups will have a tiny amount of teams past 2.2k.. meaning 70 rating is worth something other than ‘5-6 wins’.
Yeah, we meet full S3 teams at 1600. Playing late at night only works(ed) for win-traders. I’d rather the game said it couldn’t find a match than pit my fresh L70, undergeared toons against a 2000+ rated team, even if the point loss is trivial.
Most 2dps teams can be dealt with by exploiting LoS. For example, a hunter + lock (was quite popular some time ago in my battlegroup) I was going into the mid, shammy near the pillar, once the hunter launched TBW I intervened shammy back, and from that point it’s pillar hugging game.
Roge/Mage however is pretty much a counter comp for War/Shammy, Warrior should focus on the rogue to give the shammy at least some breath and allow him to drop a heal or two, nuking the elemental before it can do any serious dmg can be also a good idea. Not an impossible match, but it is extremely hard and rogue/mage has a huge mistake margin here.

2270 is kinda more than 2200 :).

I play with a Shaman, we both have good gear, but we lose so badly against two DPS setups, especially Rogue/Mage. What tactics do you recommend?
