    Well first of all, your resi is VERY low...
    Im running with 1k resi, and still most dual dps can 3-4 shot me if they're good.

    and OnT
    The best classes atm for a resto shamans are:
    Warlock (affli or destro depending)
    Death knight (unholy)
    Paladin (ret)
    Druid (Feral, NOT boomkin)
    Hunter (surv)

    Since your gear ain't so good I would recommend a partner with really good peeling, so I would say a Dk is the best in your case...

    But in my opinion (Have played with all except feral) Affli lock is far the best, if you have good MP5 or you will run oom before the game is over, and you can play pretty offensive.

    If you have further questions just ask

    Arms warrior with a shaman is a no go if you ask me... I ran it before started with the lock im running with atm... and it's not a good setup if you wanna cruise to 1800... The warrior I ran with is an IRL friend of mine... he had almost the best gear possible, and he is a good warrior...

    But no... just no... you don't have the peeling, not the cc or anything to pressure a kill because you need so much peeling so the warrior can't go offensive... Mage/Rogue, Mage/Priest or pretty much anything with a mage will fuck you up in no time... the mage can lock your warrior down brutally good... just slow and kite him down...

    If you wan't a warrior i would recommend protection warrior... the have stuns and silences. which makes it more viable... though you do not have a MS effect.

    Though warrior/ele or warrior/enh is better in that case... ms effect and sick burst

    just ask if anything is unclear or if you have anymore questions.

    Personally... i got to ~1820 with terrible gear (and later found out i wasnt using the max rank of any of my spells!) as resto sham/rogue (mut/envenom spec).
    70 Warlock - The Scryers
    80 Hunter - Gorefiend
    80 Druid - Gorefiend
    80 Death knight - Gorefiend
    80 Shaman - Gorefiend
    80 Mage - Gorefiend

    Most common would be warlock or DK.


    Although if both players are skilled you can still 2200 with nearly any non healer.



    I hit 2200 at prot war/ resto sham

    Step one, set sk100 filters to 2v2 bracket and shaman as one class, step two: look at the top teams, step three: oh hey you found what's best without posting on a forum filled with retards looking for their advice.

    I do not agree with the fact that you say war/sham resto is not good

    Me and my partner are new to the arena system this season and we got to 2000 with no problem

    Mage rogue/ mage priest are not that hard to beat

    What if find the best with this combo is :

    1) Do a lot of pressure. Charge when the arena begins, do not let your ennemies think how to beat you. Burst a target, purge the other, interupt heal, BE AGRESSIVE
    2) Hex the target you want to cc early in the game, make him use his trinket. Then, 40 sec later, use again hex with the warrior fear, Be sure to intterupt before the hex, and after the hex break. Use lust at this moment. Bladestorm + lava burst
    3) Anything with a priest = easy win, same thing for a resto shaman because of the ms
    4) dr00d : Be sure that your warrior sitwch like crazy. Use cc at the right moment and burst the druid. Shaman, just hit purge on him
    5) when you fear a 2 dps combo, pop earthseild on you, if they goes on your warrior, call him to use sheild wall, You will then take advantage of the game. Just dont let the rogue reset with bleed, slow, flame shock ets


    Well I hope these tips will help you,

    War/Sham will be an immensely frustrating comp, and with your gear mage/rogues will be practically guaranteed losses everytime, while other comps will be uphill battles. Only comp I can see you having a fairly easy time against is priest/rogue.

    I would probably suggest rogue, lock or DK to try 2s with, those will have the best control/peel opportunities for you.

    dk warlock or warrior are best

    priest? never.
