Arena 2v2 - killing pa+hu and dr+dr?

Did some arena yesterday (I'm holy priest, the other one is demo lock). Only groups we really had trouble with was pally + hunter and druid + druid.

With the pally we had a problem with him healing the hunter - paladins are totally impossible to mana-drain as they can Flash of Light with like 20 mana... So we went for the hunter, but the paladin kept up his healing with lock's dps (even while a felguard was pounding him on the head with an axe). All the while the hunter's pet was eating on me. At the end we just ran out of mana and died by autoshot...

Druid + druid kept apart, and if we focused dps on one he went into bear form and the other one started healing. Same here, we went oom and fell to two cat druids at the end.

So, can anyone offer any suggestions on how to fight pally + dps or healer hybrid + healer hybrid?|||What arena rating/gear are we talking about here (might help in providing answers). My Flash of Light is not sufficient to keep my partner�s health up (I might as well not be doing anything).

Edit: And what is the chances that you can respec? Your specs aren't brilliant for arena.

Another Edit: Fear the paladin, fear the paladin and fear the paladin. Even if you can't get his partner burned down in the time the paladin is feared, it will force him to use Holy Light. Combine this with mana burn and you will pretty soon have an OOM paladin.

Dot the hunter up, and hide behind pillars. Hunters suffer a lot with LoS issues. (while you are hiding you can get rid of the pet.)

Basically, I would go: Dot hunter, fear paladin, mana drain paladin, fear paladin, hide, rinse & repeat.|||Well, I suppose the paladin had pretty nice +healing gear - his FoL healed around 1/5 of the hunters life.

As for respeccing, I mainly do instances and raids atm, so I'm kinda bound to the holy tree. But in the future I will respec shadow.|||Yeah you guys can chain fear the pally or one of the druids constantly and then just eat away at the other, shouldn't pose to much of a problem if you stay on your fears and DOT the feared one and tab back to the other - you both should keep track in the back of your heads how long the fear has been on so that you can interchangeably fear them before the current fear ends - dont let it end! - or they will get heals off. Just respec and do your arena's on certain day's and then respec back - with the cap it's not that much money. Oh yeah, and keep your bubble up on both of you.|||Quote:

If you were facing a paladin with that type of Flash of Light, you were facing someone with amazingly good gear (He needs at least 2k +Healing to pull that off). He probably had an endless mana pool as well. I wouldn�t worry too much about losing against them :D
