2v2 Arena : Druid/Rogue still viable?

[Edeila]

Came across this video this morning, just wondering if this is still a decent comp or not. Looking at arena junkies, there's only 3 druid/rogue in the 2k bracket.

Nothing? >.<

A druid would rather choose a dk over a rogue. That's probably why you're not going to see too many higher up.

Everything works with a resto druid, even another resto druid!

But yea warrior and DK is better imo, but rogue isnt bad at all for a druid.

Does not work well. The rogue need at the very least 900 resilience and even then he gets instagibbed. Friend of mine played this comp to bout 2400 (mmr around 2600 I believe) and gave up on it, because it was so frustrating to get oneshotted without PS and PW:S

1850 is damn impressive!

Ya druids dont have the spike healing neccesary to heal a rogue in todays arena where they die when they get sneezed on. A rogue is dependent on a priest's quick heals (penance, PW:S) or a mage's CC to stay alive.

a lot of clueless people here as u would expect with an mmo-champion thread. its a very strong comp and resto druids do have a lot of burst healing atm lol (hello NS, swiftmend and lifeblooms critting for 13k...). the comps viable now because of the control it has and the fact innervate is retarded. the druid needs to play agressive and getting off some crazy clone>clone>clone>blind>sap>clone>clone>clone chains. druids is their current state can provide enough healing for rogues and with the 160% armor changes they are pretty much in the team for the insane amount of cc they can output.

Cause long CDs are considering spike healing amirite? And swiftmend requires a hot up, if you get CCed and the hots dispelled, you cant instantly get a heal off on the rogue which is needed. By no means does it mean the druid rogue is BAD, i never said that. It can still win and go far. Its just better to pick up a DK, unless of course the DK is terrible.

rejuv+swiftmend takes 1.5seconds, id consider that spike healing.

It's still vastly inferiour to priest/rogue oder druid+warr/dk/ret
this coming from a rogue that played that setup to 2500

While I definitely agree with you, your armory certainly doesnt state 2500.

1644Highest 5 man team rating
2022Highest 3 man team rating
2056Highest 2 man team rating

Copy pasting from your armory.

Playing Rogue/moonkin at around 2100ish and its a really fun combo , but id say both they rogue and the druid could find more optimal partners. But yeah its viable.

[Merzbow]

As stated above, the Rogue is dropping way too fast, especially against 2DPS.
Also no offensive dispel, which yeah... sucks.

Ah sorry, thought when you said that last quote you were talking about yourself, but nvm just misinterpreted it, my mistake.

You obviously have never healed a rogue against a ret pally in arenas then You need instant or very close to it, 1.5 seconds is to long.
