A smack in the face

So yea, finally got 10 2v2 games last night going the ending score wasnt as joy riding happy as last time, we ended 5-5, but honestly, we faced MUCH better and MUCH harder teams this time. However i didn''t feel bad about it at all, it just motivated me to try even harder, now im pretty sure some of the losses alot my fault.

Me and nimra faced Felguard lock/resto druid, honestly i panicked when i saw them since i didn't have a damn clue what i was supposed to do, however impressively imba nimra soloed the 2 guys seeing as they apparently took him very lightly, druid didn't heal, just stood there so nimra feared him, and killed the lock after his dots had finished off the felguard, next match i suggested we should go for the felguard and sheep the lock, this failed big time as the felguards AE resist fucked me up big time, and i just take such a huge amount of damage from the pet+dots, this coupled with the fact that the druid was actively healing the felguard really messed it up, from here on Nimra suggested if we met them again, we should go all out on the warlock, letting him deal with the pet and the druid, now we sadly didnt meet them again since i was pretty hungry for a chance of revenge. We did however meet Paladin/affl lock, that fight was kinda easy as we just bursted on the pala, made him bubble, i blocked while waiting out the bubble, then we killed the pala, and finished off the warlock.

We also met some of the feared holy,disc priest/rogue teams, these however was together with harmonia, the first one we won big time, in Nagrand, the rogue was juggled between me and harmonia which barely made him do any damage, end result we won. Next team we met like that was on Blades edge however, and i messed up(atleast i feel like that :P) not controlling the rogue properly and letting harmonia take Unnecessary damage. Sadly with 5-5 we didn't break 2k+ rating, however me and Nimra planned on alot of arena today once i get home from school(boring classes are good for blogging :)) So which partner do i feel the best with ? both are awesome, since one team that i cant manage with Nimra, ill probably be better off with Harmonia, im happy with both teams at the moment really :)

So, IVE BEEN TO HOLLAND! i was staying at Pedropress and Hedrich/Límas place, and damn i had a nice time, i also met Krexxor, Hulkster, Supercavia, Zhero, Vinnie, Shapectre, Nicoline and Szwok. Even met Hedrichs sister when we went to the cinema, all in all an awesome trip, and im already planning om coming back sometime around Christmas :D

2v2 Team back on track :)

As title says me and Nimra finally started doing some real 2v2 together again, we ended the evening with 10-1, our only loss being frost mage/holy priest, throughough this evening i felt like our counter team was what we lost to(as anyone would feel), Nimra was talking to me about holy priest/rogue though as a counter team to ours, priest just kiting around the pillar with the rogue hitting on him and me being pretty useless having cast time spells, however i really belive by simply backing off into the middle of nagrand(taking nagrand as an example) with me spamming nukes on the rogue, the priest will sooner or later have to start using cast time heals, while their hots are powerfull, its far from the same as a resto druid, and the rogue simply has to follow us if he wants to do any damage to us.

Now if we look at affllock/holydisc priest the priest will dispell each dot my partner will use while all enemy dots will be very effective, and he doesnt HAVE to pursue us if he wants to do damage to us, quiet honestly against a well played setup of this type, i dont think were gonna have any chance at all, but hey, quoting my partner, you cant win them all now can you? :P

Now talking about something different, im 2 weeks away from arena staff! yay :>

A bit of a small update but its getting late i got work tomorrow and i wanna sleep, got some ideas for a possible longer update tomorrow :)
