I just started arena again after a 6 month break, playing 2v2 with a ele shammie. I specced affli, and so far loved coming up against demo locks. I usually banish the felguard, then the lock when he/she goes meta, so I don't get any interupt. Seems very easy to me, after I banish the lock I just CoW the felguard and other instant dots, its not really a problem.

I'm not trolling here, just wondering if I just played against bad locks or is it this easy all the time? Looking for opinions from you demo people

Re: 51+ Demonology in 2v2 Arenas?

Well, unless you DC->banish with the felguard banished, or use another CC combo, i don't see why they are letting you banish when they have an instant stun in demon form, probably a faster casted fear and a DC that certainly it's worth using to prevent a banish, not to mention the LoS and the trinket.

Then again, one of the things i learned to do in arena was to prevent cyclones as much as possible and that was much harder as the pressure almost always needed to be for the druid, so this whole banish thing is hardly new.

Edit: Forgot to mention, meta is not intended to help the warlock against casters, but against melee, if you as meta manage to win a 1v1 equal footing situation against any other warlock it's probably because you outplayed him. Personally i believe destro is more balanced, but that doesn't mean a good meta warlock is easy to CC for the whole meta duration.

Re: 51+ Demonology in 2v2 Arenas?

I'm playing with a rogue in 2vs2 and i can say that i tried every combination of talents before stopping to 10 -51 - 0 .It's simply the easiest and safest way to play to go to 1800 rating ,especially if you get to play with random players without any ventrilo coordination etc.

Couldnt go more because we got tons of double pala , double mage team which slaughtered rogue constantly but i'm sure that after the patch we ll be able to advance in rank.

Now, in order to protect your self from nasty destro or aff locks i suggest you put a lot of the spellhaste on you and also use some addon like ecastingbar to see when he is casting fear . I have 192 sh and i cast fear in 1.16 .Most of the time i cast it before they do .Beside that i tell my rogue to get the them first down or at least stay on them and stress till i finish the other.

I some times get out felpuppy quicly even if i lose a shard just to prevent some casters to do their bad movements.

When my rogue is confident or we get 2 dps which focus on them i meta , fly to them and instead of fearing them i just use the lava dot and the hellfire aoe.With the dots on them its impossible for one of them to not drop.It's like 1100 damage every 0.97 .

I did not invest points in instant second pet because its hard to kill him right now so i put points in the upgraded stones.2 x dps game finish fast usually.

The combo is powerful , and with the a good rogue you can't ask for anything else .Easy deploy of dots, fast immolate , fast life and depending of the situation life drain or searingpain .Nightfall when it procs(major glyph).

I'll keep you update if we get to 1900 after this patch.I just hope that at least pala's will be nerfed .My rogue wants to quit because of them

Cheers

Re: 51+ Demonology in 2v2 Arenas?

for myself, im a 5-51-5 lock that has teamed up with a shadowpriest.
besides the pala-pala teams, we dont have to lose any fight for now.

i have not found a good way to fight those pala`s teaming up.
so any sugestions for that let me know.

Re: 51+ Demonology in 2v2 Arenas?

As long as they dont bubble you can CC them, so I'd get a succubus out (with 3/3 improved Succubus) and have the priest ready with mass dispell. If they both get to burst on one of you simultaneously that person will drop, so the key will be to keep them from doing just that. Ret pally in bubble is both frustrating and painful, so you need those dispells to remove their "i win"-button.

Getting a succy with 2 pallies might have exactly the dont want result, insta death of the pet.

So i'd stick with felpuppy
