I play a Ret paladin (full s3 minus shoulders) in the arena, and am trying out different combo's for all brackets, trying to find something that I like and can find a groove with. I've tried Ret/MS/R-Shaman, Ret/MS/R-Druid, Ret/MS/Ele-Shaman, Ret/Enh-Shaman/Disc, and even Ret/Ele-Shaman/Frost & Ret/Frost/R-Shaman. None of my combo's have ever broken 1840 or so in 3v3 (got my weapon in 5's), except for Ret/MS/R-Druid peaking at 1970 late one evening before tumbling into the 1800's.
Now I'm well aware that the problem might be my lack of skill as a paladin - perhaps I'm skewing my play too offensively or defensively, or perhaps I should mix in some PvE gear to up my damage. Either way, whatever I'm doing now isn't working in the quest for 2k to complete my s3 set.
I was mulling over options for 3v3 teammates, and most every team I try has a MS warrior on it. If I dropped the MS Warrior for someone who can apply the debuff yet exert more control over the fight, could it work to my advantage? Say, a shadowstep rogue main-handing wound and off-handing crippling? Loss of hamstring would be off-set by presence of crippling, and wound would make up for the absence of MS, plus the rogue has blind, stuns, kick, and increased mobility/survivability vs. casters (cloak of shadows). Or maybe a hunter, laying traps to help the healer kite, using wing clip in place of hamstring, using scatter shot tactically, and throwing aimed shot in place of MS?
Ret/ShS rogue/healer (need advice on what would work best) or possibly Ret/Marks/healer... thoughts?
