Challenge 2k rating with DK+Rogue combo
Hello guys, we managed to reach 2k rating with the crazy and stupid combo that has almost zero synergy: DK + Rogue.
The DK provides very little assistance to the Rogue besides damage. We don't have a strong CC chain, and even the pet stun shares diminishing returns with Kidney Shot.
Because of that, our strategy is to secure a kill within a 20-second window. As the Rogue, I can use Sap, stuns, and Blind on the off-target to create CC. We try to burst down one target as quickly as possible using Corpse Explosion and Shadow Dance burst. If they manage to survive our damage, we usually lose.
However, as you can see, many teams can't deal with that strategy up to 2k rating. To be more specific, around 90% of our losses are against teams with a Paladin.
From all the arena games I've played with a DK, I can say that if Paladins were removed from the game, this composition would probably be a viable A-tier setup. Unfortunately, Divine Shield counters it very hard.
We also manage to have 70% win ratio out of 100 games
