Having a really hard time in 2s. They do double the DPS of my hunter, Frost DK's also pump out huge numbers in 2s.

I'm currently fighting teams in the 1750-1800 range, and I am having a really tough time.

Advice? Tips?

(My comp is Resto druid & Survival hunter atm)

you have to just tunnel the lock and play super, and i mean SUPER defensive. i play bm/healer @2100-2300 mmr, but the strategy should be the same. if you're the hunter, you have to strafe back and forth between ua/haunt casts to make sure he gets as few of those off as he can. as soon as your healer gets cc'd or if the warlock pops demon soul, just disengage post haste and hide behind pillars. bash the lock on cd too. it's a really crappy playstyle, but there's nothing else you can do. i found that the lock has a really hard time @ high dampening (unless they play with a resto sham, but they still have trouble especially with trap+clone+stuns). when i played and tried going on the healer, it never works out and we fall super behind (especially when lock will just spam fear you/shadowfury). found that you really don't have a choice but to just tunnel the lock.

again, this might not work if you're survival. i've only ever played bm and marksman so i'm not sure about survival. bm is useful because i have insane burst and can make it extremely hard for them. plus i can just hide behind pillars and let my pet do all the work lol.

Play with a resto druid or RSham if you want any hope of beating rsham/lock, if they're good you'll probably still lose though, you need to train sham.

I'm in the 1500 tier..I JUST GO AFK BECAUSE WOW FUCKING SUCKSKSDSDFGDFGDFGDFGDFGDFGDFGDFFFDGDFGDFGDFGDFGDFG

2's is so unbalanced you're bound to be fucked against some comps, it's harder to outplay people now that most classes only have 4-5 skills

I've kind of noticed that, even at the 'higher' ratings (1800 teams) it seems like a lot of melee class players forgot what pillar humping is.

I can kite people all fucking day around a pillar because that's what WoW was back @ Burning Crusade / Level 70 days.

Also fake-casting seems to be really, really easy to bait kicks. But this is probably because I am still only fighting folks in the 1650-1750 range.

I don't think my arena partners are the greatest, I can't claim to be super-amazing either, but they don't know any theorycrafting or who to target in arenas, and I'll be honest too, in certain comps, now with dampening and other effects, I'm not always sure who should be the focus target / CC target.

Frost DK's & Affliction warlocks seem to put out the most amount of damage, while Mages / Rogues seemed to have insane fucking burst. Although Rogues I think were nerfed slightly recently.

It's all still so much to learn once again. Warriors feel a lot weaker in this expansion, and ferals feel really, really scary fucking strong for 30 seconds.
