Update: moving this thread into my PvP guide on the forums.

Hey,

I, just like a lot of other players will be coming back to WoW for the Legion release. With this, I will be maining DH and wanted to start a thread to discuss the possible DH 3v3 setups.

After a lot of beta testing and chit chatting with my glad friends, I think it's safe to say that these are the most favourable setups for DH (in order of believed effeciency):

DH - DK - RSham/Rdruid
DH - Mage - Rsham/Rdruid
DH - Monk - RSham/Rdruid
DH - Warrior - RSham/Rdruid
DH - Rdruid/Rsham - SP/Lock



Kind Regards,

DH+Warlock is probably going to be good considering the different CC types they provide, along with how quickly the DH can switch targets, making it a very scary combination which can potentially play very long games and finish with healer kills through Mana Break.

DH+Mage I don't see being very good aside from Mage oneshot shenanigans. It doesn't look like DH will be a heavy burst type class and in terms of CC there doesn't appear to be any synergy.

I'm personally interested in DH+SP, they'll have access to virtually all types of CC with Imprisonment spec, which could lead to some crazy long CC chains.

DH meleecleaves Idk about, from what I've heard DH actually doesn't stick to targets for a long time, so they might end up not being ''annoying'' enough.

Hero Class Cleave (DK/DH/MW) would be funny though.

@Scoot;

The problem with SPriest is that I Believe they'll require a lot of peeling this patch.
Warlock would probably be the most stable choice then combine that with a RDruid or DiscPriest perhaps? (Disc for that extra burst output in terms of dmg when required that the druids does not posess (disc priests not getting the PvP decrease multiplier in terms of dmg)

So far my best bet would be something like this:

DH + Warlock + disc-Priest

But so far Fire Mages have proved to be stable as well so that would work but also limit the time the team has in the arena;

DH + FMage + Priest/Druid


Honestly, anything that can deliver sustained overall dmg would be good and just have the DH switch with CDs up consistently to force CD's and/or HoTs on different targets all the time.
Right now, BM Hunters are doing tons of dmg as well but like you said, DHs are pretty much burst dealers with CDs up but not enough pressure to be training someone down I Think. So that rules out the "replace the rogue in Thug" which I had in mind for some time.

i would say WW/DH and priest.

Instant sap 2 targets
rape the third, repeat untill kill.


What can they do to stop it?

[GhazzyTV]

I'm not so sure that monk healers will be that stable, I Think I would prefer a setup using the priest as a healer due to how squishy they are in shadow atm.

Feral/DH/RSham is real as fuck

[Krassz1096]

Anyone know if Vengeance has any viability?

Know quite a few people who want to main it, as it's actually more fun to play then the DPS spec.

[Forumz]

Vengeance seems good right now but I'm pretty sure they won't allow it to actually be better for arenas than Havoc at 110.

[GhazzyTV]

Tank specs are kind of obselete in arena these days.

DH - Feral - Healer seems stable, I think I'd prefer a Priest over RSham though for fears.
