Triple tank 3v3 over 2600

[Gumboy]

So there is a brm/brm/blood dk playing at over 2600 mmr right now, their damage is VERY good, the survivability is obviously very good, their is not really a great target for the other team to go on at all, no heals to interrupt, and the team has pretty good cc.

Now, obviously these three players are very good in their own right, but this is just asinine at this point.

Not linking the video for attention, just to show how hilariously good it actually is. Watch how fast they kill the warrior in the first game they show:

To be honest, 2 games isn't really enough to go on. Sure they won against 2400+ teams, but how many games did they play? If they started at 2700 and played like 10 games to get those 2 wins then it really isn't a big deal. I see no way this comp would have any chance against something like RMD or RLD, so I mean if they played a bunch of games to record a couple wins then whatever. That being said, if they have over a 50% win rate with this then that is pretty stupid.

I am sure they do, you'd have to ask them though. They post on the official arena forums, perhaps someone could ask there. (permabanned myself)

Recently I came up with a BRM/Blood DK combo in 2s... let's just say I might as well have just bent over and handed them a bottle of lube. It might have been less painful.

Why is triple tank so much more offensive then triple dps?

[Mancowski]

I love it. But maybe tanks do need that debuff so they take more damage in instanced pvp.

Would like to see how easily this comp owns RMD...

1tank = 1dps +0.5healer...
Every other comp is pretty much outnumbered lol

At least its better than the alternative...

Blizzard is so shit at balancing its either this or tanks being nerfed to 5 health in pvp

I couldn't get mad at the video, the music was too rockin'

If deemed an issue, couldn't they code it so you couldn't take a tank spec into an arena? And then for RBGs you could say an upper limit of X tanks [ie: 0-1 total], X healers [0-ceiling], etc. Spec would be locked based on role. Another application of this would be to prevent players from qing into LFR as Healer then swapping to DPS, but that hasn't been much of an issue this xpac, or at least noticeable since wiping isn't much of a thing. Just some early morning brainstorming.

I don't get why they don't simply just do this :/

Those players are all really good players. Still beyond silly though. I had fun watching it.

'Cause of the defense^^ If 3XDPS gets cc:ed their burst will not be enough. Three tanks on the other hand are able to survive until dampening makes it possible for them to land kills.

As someone said before, two games ain't much proof. In the first game one of the monks almost died. Maybe a bit too good but a part from that I don't see a problem with that comp, not at that rating. If it is super easy for people to go from 1500 to 2000 or higher just by playing that comp then there's the problem. To me it looks as if a lot of co-ordination is required from this comp, not only to survive but also to land kills in the end.

They need balancing, sure. Though they don't look that OP.

[Krekal]

Makes me wonder if the other tank specs (guardian & protection war/pala) works in arena just as okay

[Darksoldierr]

I don't understand why they didn't went for the DK. I know its hard as hell to kill a blood dk but atleast he cant ran away with double roll + teleport. Nonetheless, seeing fotm comps lose is always welcoming sight

[nyc81991]

I'm honestly not surprised that comp works. Having two Brewmaster's with their 4 set bonus Guards and a Blood DK with their 4 set AMS they are extremely hard to kill and they can put out pretty strong pressure / cc.

With having 4 potential Gaurds from the 2 Brewmasters it is pretty hopeless to go Blood.

I don't really see the issue, multi-r1 players playing on 2600 rating?
Just because you don't like the setup doesn't mean it has to be banned.
Unlike the DK-DK teams, it is actually quite viable to kill these teams
