EU+US Discussion: 3v3 Comps for Shadowlands

[Hashbrowns]

Alright the forum has sucked the past few weeks. I want to hear your thoughts about comps that look strong in SL! I've been looking this afternoon, so many things look fun. I'll give you 3 of mine, what will everyone be playing?

Holy Priest - Arms Warrior - Hunter

Positive: Arms looks to be an unstoppable force. Hamstring and Pummel, paired with hard hitting Mortal Strike and the debuff, stacked with the hardest hitting ability in the 10 bracket (Aimed Shot), yikes. Hunter gets Freeze and Wing Clip if you need more CC.

Negative: Not a lot you can do to save your healer. No offspec heals/bubble, you can peel but still dealing with a clothie that's prone to being blown up.

Holy Priest - Ret Paladin - Destro Lock

Positive: Don't sleep on Desto, this spec looks nasty. Spammable CC with fear. Ret can offheal, solving the healer support issues.

Negative: Unsure about the damage output. Ret has some abilities but this comp might lack a true hard hitter.

HPaladin/RShaman - Frost DK- Havoc DH

Positive: Tanky team, a lot of damage looks to be physical in SL. Bubble if you go Paladin. Rshaman has the largest heal in the bracket with Healing Surge, both are great options. Hard to get a read on DH but 2 interrupts/stuns looks solid so far. We'll see if it plays like a strong support like current rogue or has the CC AND damage to make it a monster. Went DK to change it up a bit, any hard hitter will do, but DW Frost with double saders looks nasty AF.

Negative: Healer support maybe, all melee team prone to kiting.

RMP or RMD no doubt, MLS, and TSG.

I gotta disagree with arms warrior REAL hard. It has no rage generation outside of auto swing and charge. Fury is gonna be your go-to if you're playing warrior, but with warriors hardest hitting ability being shield slam, I dont think its a good 3v3 choice at all. Gonna be amazing in WSG mid though.

Mage/Lock/Hpal locks disgusting. Fear/poly/stun. With arcane blast/chaos bolt combo? Gross.

Same idea with like, hunter/mage/heals or hunter/lock/heals

I think Frost DK/Mage/hpal will be really good too.

No idea what to make of DH. At all.

Destro looks so good, I want to believe, but Blizzard's Warlock track record over the last 10 years has me worried lol. They retained a full toolkit though and picked up Unending Resolve. Chaos Bolt looks strong.
Arcane looks like it will be ok yea. I'd roll high Mastery with Vers/Haste split. Like a 20/10/10 would be choice.

Yea, thats exactly what I was thinking but I dont play mages so it was just a theory. Nice to know Im not terribly off base lol.

Destro Lock / 2H Crusader Frost DK / Holy Paladin

Fear, Bubble, Grip into HoJ, all 3 have self sustain, and have a strong feeling 2H Frost is going to shred

I'm just going to watch the world burn and que with a mistweaver or restro druid and then pick up outlaw rogue because who hasn't seen pikaboo kick the shit out of people.

Oh, me? I'll be a prot warrior.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

/laughs sadistically.

6 sec, God I forgot how strong this is
So maybe

Arcane - Ret - Disc
Ret looks really good tbh, Templar's Verdict should hit pretty hard. Bubble, LoH, Wod of Glory, they should be almost unkillable by themselves. Disc's Mastery buff looks unusable since Atonement is 23? But you pick up penance, tough call.

Arcane/Ret/Priest stays strong for the same reasons it's currently the best trio in the bracket. Chain CC that doesnt share diminishing returns and absolutely stupid burst potential.

Someone make a case for monk, honestly all 3 specs look good. Mist I as worried about since you loose 2 heals but you gain lots of utility and Touch of Death (execute).

Also RIP the food
https://shadowlands.wowhead.com/npc=66353/master-chang#sells:0+3+2
reqs 10 but
https://shadowlands.wowhead.com/spell=126892/zen-pilgrimage
is 12

HPally and RShaman mana cost for their heals, yikes. Mist and Priest look ok, idk if you trade 2 rolls and leather for big heals. Feels like the cc will be strong.

Who wants to run triple Blood DK’s...... we can just https://shadowlands.wowhead.com/spell=47541/death-coil each other for heals while we tank and spank the opposition.
Some of the most fun I’ve had in arena is with Blood Dk’s. The plate also makes it a nuisance for Rogues
Blood will be awesome in arena!

Let me make you cringe more @icehawk
