    Triple DPS - the way to go this season in 3's?

    Triple melee, of course. Something like Ret/DK/Rogue (that's what we're playing). I don't know it just feels so smoothe, fast and easy. Even those overlord Lock/Shaman/X teams aren't that frustrating anymore with 3 dps. We're playing at 2400 mmr and having a blast and I had a feeling we're not alone.

    Anyone else enjoying triple dps?

    I'm a (Frost) Mage and I have a Rogue partner. We're looking for either a Feral or Disc in 3s, whatever comes first we roll to 2.2k with.

    If you have the 25% buff then yeah 3s is viable depending on what you play, but I don't think it'd work out with 3 melee possibly. Depends on how you play but against a frost mage team or any CC team at a high rating, you're gonna be stopped in your tracks and wished you had some heals or dispels.

    I'd say if you have at least 2 stealth DPS's and at least one CC like sheep or fear or cyclone then it'd work out to 2.2k.

    But also, you better have high burst specs/classes because unless you have a good off heals you're gonna have to wrap the first kill up in the first 30 seconds of the match.

    Edit: I seem to have overlooked you actually play at 2400 MMR and are successful, eh?

    Did Hunter/Blood DK/X yesterday where X kept changing. Had a rogue, a ret, a warrior and a mage at different points.

    Might try UH/Lock/SP tonight when the lock and SP get back.

    I've played 2,2k with sub rogue/arms warrior/ret paladin (me) in season 9 and this season we tried it again and it works very well and is amazing fun compared to playing with 2 dps and healer. With increased meele damage from 20% BOM and 25% mortal strike, people die faster than never before. But can be frustrating too when meeting holy paladins and frost mages.


    EDIT: I originally tested this comp out because 2 of my best irl friends play rogue and warrior, and it was awesome that we could be competitive together. This season we started pve too and im already using 2-piece bonus for ret and we're hoping to be lucky to get Vial of Shadows, 2 x Bone-link fetish, 2x Gurthalak and our rogue is getting legendary daggers. It's gonna be complete faceroll since we are already doing great at 2200MMR and beating top 10 teams.

    I would assume you'd gear accordingly if you're going for a bursty kind of comp where resilience isn't SUPER important compared to specific trinkets and weapons. It could be viable.
