Need some tips to survive against rogues as ele shaman

shortý

Legend
  • Im an elemental shaman and i could really use some advice on how to survive against a rogue in arena. No matter what me and my partner does we always die on the second stealth, as we have popped all of our defensives. My partner is playing as a balance druid. Could you guys help me out so we could hit our goal of 2,2k? we are currently at 2131. thanks on beforehand

    Boomkin should Cenarion Ward the opener on you, try to position yourself inside a healing rain. Don't have time for details since I'm at work but hope that helps a bit.
     
    Priest shouldn't live until 2nd opener.
    Just kill priest in beam. There is not a single rogue in the entire bracket atm who knows what peels are, especially not at 2,2k mmr.

    It's hard to say exactly what you need to work on without seeing the games, but if you're running into problems as ele/boomy on 2,2k mmr it's safe to assume that you have to work on a lot.

    well yeah we are still learning and such, but when the rogue sap my partner, he have to trinket in order to put ward on me, but as soon the sap is gone he will blind my partner and im dead, even tho i use defensives. Btw Elemental Mastery is better than ancestral swiftness right?

    well he does that too, but the problem is the rogues just cloak + vanish and start over again, but that time he dont got ward. soo
     
    You don't survive rogues.
    You die in a random and unavoidable cc/feed their giant egos/make em feel badass for re-rolling the right class and therefore do your part to keep this bracket alive.

    60% of the time, it works every time.

    I trink cheap shot, then use my shamanistic rage asap, drop healing tide totem, if he hasnt kidney shotted you by this time, earthgrab totem then you have a chance to deal witht he rogues max burst, he should be re stealthing at this time and wait for the second go. Best of luck.
     
    Also the trick to is to use the rogues re stealthing abilities and gap closers asap. Thunderstorming a rogue will force a shadow step.
     
    Also, I've many times have gotten a rogue to force his opener or taken out of stealth with a well places magma totem and earthgrab totem, doesnt hurt to be standing in a healing rain when you know the rogue is gonna open to.
     
    You shouldn't get sapped before you have a chance to open on the partner, and by that time the rogue would have to peel, otherwise his partner 'should' be dead
     
    According to some beta dude rogues will gain 5 combo points/100% crit chance for the next offensive spell after using vanish. Cuz logic.
