Best 2s and 3s comps in Wotlk
Hi guys, I got a little bit nostalgic lately and I was thinking about popping back in the old days just for fun. I was wondering - what do you think was the best arena comps during 3.3.5?
During that time I played a Holy Paladin which turned out to be a faceroll in arenas. I played 2s with Arms Warrior / Unholy DK / Affli Lock and for 3s I played TSG - Arms, Unholy, Holy. We got to 2.2k rat in a matter of days. Now after many years, I want to try something new and was thinking about Resto Druid but after checking out a few servers and their armory stats, duos are highly dominated by Holy Paladins and Arms Warrior. Practically 80% of team comps that are over 2.2k rat are this comp (ok some of them are with Unholy DK). For 3s, almost every high-rated comp has a Holy Paladin as a healer - all of them are humans for the EMFH racial that was quite broken back in the days. The theorycrafting and min-maxers sure did their job after 10 years so I guess that the old ways don´t apply to the private servers.
Me and 2 friends want to try it again and we wanted to try LSD comp - Resto Druid, Ele Sham, Affli Lock - I think it was one of the stronger comps during that time. Our second option is - Holy Paladin, Arms Warrior, Frost Mage - I can´t remember if this was an actual comp or not but those are our main classes now. We want to try something new but I don´t know if Druid as a healer can be as viable as Paladin in 3.3.5 due to the fact that there are mostly Holy Paladins in arenas on a higher rating. I guess it is due to the fact that they have defensive dispell, high armor to deal with melees and so many defensive cooldowns for themselves and allies that they just become almost unkillable. The only 2 good things for druids were Cyclone and mobility to get out of the havoc.
Other great comps for 3s that I can think of were:
- RMP
- Shatterplay
- Beastcleave
- Ret/Feral/Priest
- RLS
- TSG
- PHD
Comps for 2s:
- Holy/Warr or DK
- Shadow/Frost Mage
- Resto/Affli or Warr
- Disc/Rog or Mage or Feral or Hunter
(and that´s about all the comps I can recall right now, there were many more)
I want to hear from you guys - which comp do you think has the best chances of winning? If we take the gear and skill out of the equation and even tho it´s a Rock Paper Scissors, there are some stuff that have an upper hand. I am asking this question for a definite answer, not to hear "Play what you like the most" because as a WoW nerd, I like them all equally. I am asking this question because I want to have a higher chance of winning in arenas.
Thanks for every solid answer.
