DKs in 3v3

[genghiskhan]

I used to box 5 shammies in bgs before retiring from boxing. Im back for a new experience. What do you think of a 3v3 arena team of 3 DKs? Or 2 DKs and a bear tank/ret pally?

Not sure that three toons will have the burst to instantly blow anyone up. And that's really the only edge that boxers have.
Once it turns into a game of CCing people and such, independent action (which we don't have) for each of the toons wins.

If you can come up with a combination that will blow someone up very quickly, that is about the only composition that can work. Healers are struggling, so AoE is decent but focus fire is what will kill people unless you can AoE a group down or at least soften them up.

In the entry level blue pvp set, most players have 100-110k health, and are sitting at 10% resilience damage reduction. So you'd need the ability to inflict 120k health fast. Not sure that 2 DK's (or even 3) have that firepower.

I'd think 3x Frost DK's, with a Howling Blast > Frost Strike > Blood Tap > Necrotic Strike > Blood Strike priority, would be your best shot. Howling Blast is not AoE capped, so it hits every target as hard as it will hit a single target. Glyphed it applies Frost Fever, which talented slows.

I would love to see it tried, that is for sure!
