Nakah's Revival

This past weekend I spent doing arenas/bg with my shaman, Nakah (no, I haven't quit my rogue). I find that it is much more difficult to survive because of the lack of all the CD's that the rogues have, but I love a challenge. Being in the terrible gear that I am in + not playing my shaman in months and playing with a partner that has 0 arena experience, ending with a 19-19 record in 2s gave us hope for a bright future. I was pleasantly surprised really enjoyed the experience. My partner is a dreamstate druid so our comp is probably the best for enh shamans. We played a variety of comps ranging from ret paly/war to your cookie cutter druid/war. Many of the games we lost were extremely close and, to be honest, we shouldn't have lost. I feel that if our gear was better, we would have easily won. We started at 1382 and brought it up to 1401. I know that starting low pairs us with teams of equal rating, but like I said, there were about 6 or 7 games that were so close that if I feel if we had better gear (if I didn't use a green OH and had enchants...) we would have definitely won.

I find that I have the most trouble killing paladins because of Flash of Light. I'm able to draw a bubble very early in the game, and I'm able to burst him down very low...but I have difficulty finishing them off. Spamming of flash of light is difficult to stop because earth shock cd is 6 sec. I think we're going to try and use cyclone in this situation as an interupt that's the only thing I can think of that could help. We had a really hard time against rogue teams because the rogue would lock down my partner, and since we lack in the gear department, he gets eaten alive.

I really want to try enh shaman/frost mage/resto druid in 3s. I heard that it does very well, and the only comp that gives it trouble is the dreaded RMP.

I don't know what to say about my choices of who I want to play and when. I thought that enhancement was dead, and I only wanted to play my shaman if he was going to be viable. I realize that I probably should have just transferred him over instead of rerolling...but I've made mistakes in the past. I do plan on getting my rogue to 70 because he's FUCKING 68...I enjoy the challenge of playing a class that's seen as "gimp" and "teh sux0rs". LOL I just thought of something...it's like Asians and sports: we're seen as frail, weak, and not viable in that arena. That belief, the singular belief that we aren't good enough is what drove me to prove people wrong. Well, what are we waiting for? Let's rock.
