"A Warrior is a popular target for many 4 DPS teams, because most cookie-cutter lineups will center on the Warrior. Because of this, Warriors have discovered how to play more and more defensively when in these situations. Besides just doing a typical Defensive Stance/Shield combo, better Warriors will Intervene back to their healers, and LoS the other team’s DPS while still able to receive heals. It is very important that you do not line of sight your own healers when avoiding damage. That is a common mistake when using the LoS mechanics. People think that just because they are out of LoS of the DPS that they are in a good situation, when in reality, they might have only hurt themselves. This is where strong communication is direly needed between the healer and the focus target, or else tragedy can occur (and, unpleasant words might be exchanged). This strategy is more effective if a ranged caster is getting focused; simply because they don’t need to worry about staying in melee range to do damage or CC, they can do it while they LoS another target. Now, LoS is not just used for focused targets, it is also a very effective method to prevent CC or interruption effects, such as: Sheep, Fear, Counterspell, Cyclone and more. Healers especially need to know how to LoS opposing players while keeping their teammates up, and this is where communication is a huge key, once again. Casting healers (Paladin, Shaman) especially need to do their best to stay LoS, whenever possible. But, there will be situations where these healers will have to come into LoS, and, at this point, they need to utilize another skill called “juke-healing,” or assistance from a fellow CC. Some classes are more affected when the opposing teams LoS, and two that stand out are Hunters and Elemental Shamans.


These two classes rely on standing still for a majority of the time to execute their damaging abilities; making evading opponents very annoying for them. Whenever an opposing team has one of these two classes, whoever is being focused on needs to keep in mind that LoS will hurt their DPS a lot, and needs to use it to their own advantage for survival. Be ready for quick switches, however, as teams who use these two classes will have a tendency to switch up targets a lot for this reason. wow gold Also, against Hunters, one misconception is to try to get into their dead-zone rather then LoS. This is a mistake in most cases, as it will only result in easy kiting from the Hunter over a Frost Trap, and allows their other DPS to stay on you, as well. The next in line for classes who are hurt by line of sight are Mages and Warlocks. Again, they are casters, so, obviously, LoS can make it very hard to get efficient casts off, whether it is CC or damage. wow gold However, they have a lot more instant casts that can be effective. Because of this, CC should be performed on these targets, rather than trying to LoS, or even focus on one of them instead. Letting any of these classes stand still and cast will greatly increase their efficiency. Then, there are the Warriors and Rogues, of course, where LoS still can be used, but to a weaker extent, and, most of the time, isn’t worth trying. cheap wow gold An effective method to LoS a melee target — as mentioned earlier — is to “pull” them out of LoS of their own healers, then burst down, or pull LoS and CC at a location where they are out of dispel LoS or range.


This can hurt Warriors especially, and can slow down the game for the opposing team while you gain an advantage on the offense. " "Welcome to the second part of the Viability of Paladins in Arena. I will begin by discussing 2v2 Arena. wow gold If you haven’t already noticed, partner choices available are quite limited for Paladin in the 2v2 environment. Warrior/Paladin and Warlock/Paladin are two dominating 2v2 combinations. Why. mp3 players Although Paladin’s are powerhouse healers built to outlast, they are very vulnerable to spell interruptions such as Kick, Pummel, Counterspell and other forms of CC. The reason behind this is that all of Paladin’s healing moves — excluding Holy Shock — require casting time. During the time when a Paladin is CCed or spell locked, their partner has to survive whatever damage is being inflicted. wow gold Therefore, the most ideal and effective partner for a Paladin is someone with tons of life and survivability; hence why a Soul Link Warlock or a Warrior become great choices. One might bring up Rogue and Mage because both of those classes have a great amount of survivability as well.
