At least Tuesday didn't let us down! We queued up with our druid/lock/pal/war/priest setup and in the first game we met Einherjers. In season one they held first rank for quite a long time and were almost consistently top five.
We used to play them a lot with our old setups of 3heal/mage/war and 3heal/hunter/war, both of which aren't very good. We always had fun matches and we all enjoyed playing them, even if our stats were like 25 - 1 in their favor.
This time though, we won. And we did so 6 times in a row. They run what has been called the ultimate 5v5 setup (or fotm setup as Hubris calls it) of mage/eshaman/war/pal/priest, and they have the best racials for it (dwarves, gnomes). First they tried taking down Eldpojken while we went for Nedsat (their priest, and we wen't for him every game) but they couldn't get him down, and it left me free to Mana Burn. They tried going for me aswell, and even going for Fontaine but Eld could keep their mage under controll very well with fears and constantly cursing their whole team. Also my dispelling was better than ever so he had to spend too much time sheeping Dassan. In one game i had more damage done with him, just casting MB's.
We also faced Coinflip a few times, and they were not really a threat since they play rogue. Dassan was on him until he died every game so he really didn't get much done.
We finished at 2150 rating, second place in the BG and undefeated for the night. It felt great, especially since the communication between me and Fontaine was so good. We have been practicing it a lot in 3v3 and it has really payed off.
I was a little disappointed when Ehlo (Einherjer's paladin) started whining on IRC about how we were running an easy mode setup which took no skill, cyclone was imbalanced (resto druid imba) and accused us of switching around with setups until we found easy mode.
Cause pal/priest/rdruid/lock/warrior is free wins guaranteed. It's bound to become standard. For sure. Yeah. Right.
Whatever, this was fun and i'm really proud of how the team played last night. Good job all!

Nice job. Grats. :)
thanks! and thanks for the mention on your site
Hey! Oozo recommended the site and I'm loving it. After my old account was frozen, (misunderstanding with Blizzard I'm afraid) my friend and I have decided to reroll new characters rather than quitting the game.
*Warning! Wall of Text Follows*
On the Alliance side, I'm a dwarf paladin and he's a human warrior (he couldn't stand how ugly dwarfs were). This will be our primary set-up for 2v2 and we were doing some theorycrafting on possible counters to the matrix. What combinations do you think we'd have trouble with and what matrices could we run to counter them.
3v3 We plan to run Warrior, Warlock and paladin or replce that Warlock with an Elemental Shaman. Would 20/41/0 be the best for this warlock? And should the Shaman be Elemental or Resto?
5v5 we'd like to play warrior,warrior,paladin,holy priest,resto shaman, since our server is very weak in pvp and we'd like a scrub friendly and easy to play set up. Does this fit the bill, if not, what would be one?
Horde side (we're on a carebear server) we plan to play Shadow Priest and Warlock. We have an excellent Discipline waiting for us to reach the 70 and on our 2v2 team we will have this Discipline priest and either a Resto Shaman or Paladin.
3v3 our matrix will be the Discipline priest, warlock and Shadow Priest.
5v5 We're thinking of playing gib setup with me as a Felguard lock,my friend still shadow, the other priest still Discipline, and also include an Elemental Shaman and an Affliction lock with our primary strategy to !LOLkillthewarrior!
Sorry for all the questions that you probably don't care about or seem pretty stupid, but I'm new to both of these classes that I'm playing (my friend has played warrior and shadow priest before and is quite good) and am primarily looking for excellent synergy without a ton of thought from our teammates in both 5v5 teams since players on our server aren't very outstading. What do you think?
Doh, I forgot to add in my last post what the best specs would be fore each the four classes we intend to play.
Warrior (Deep Thunder)until we get gladiator armor and finally the Gladiator Mace)
33/28/0
33/25/3
31/30/0
Paladin
43/18/0
41/20/0
40/0/21
Shadow Priest
18/2/41 (any others?)
Warlock (so many here)
42/19/0
43/7/11
20/41/0
5/43/13
27/34/0
30/31/0
Again, sorry for all the questions, but I'd greatly appreciate your opinion if you've got the time.
Wow, sorry for not answering. Big post! I should get Fontaine to come answer this stuff cause he's a way better theorycrafter than me, and he plays a lot more 2v2/3v3.
