The best DK 3v3 is:

Post by montezuma7

Looking for a little debate here. Just theorycrafting what the best 3v3 comps involving a dk are. I'll list my ideas with the pros and cons. Not going to list any triple dps unless one is a hybrid like a ret pally who can heal in a pinch. Also not doing any double healer comps. Just don't think those are that strong these days, mana draining and survival isn't what it used to be.

Comp 1: Holy pally, DK, fury warrior
Pros: This is the new double melee pwn squad. Warriors have their pvp issues but still do a ton of burst, have a heal debuff that's somewhat reliable and hamstring spam. Chains of ice and death grip can be used if you get a good kiter like a hunter, combined with the hamstring and intercept stuns pretty much nothing is going to kite for too long.

Cons: Low cc. Other than strangulate and hoj/repentance all the heal interupts are melee range. Comp is going to rely on pure dmg. I don't see kiting as an issue as stated above. Pally healer could be an issue vs a good team with a mage or lock. Caster cc's the pally, then they could blow up the warrior fast, but as long as the warrior knows when to go defensive and intervene/los you'll be fine.

Comp 2: Resto shaman, DK, ret pally
Pros: Really great burst, anti cc from shaman, offensive dispel, still have pally dispels and freedom.

Cons: CC and kiting. This team is actually easy to kite than comp 1 imo because other than freedom pallys are much easier to kite than warriors. They don't have a snare. Also pallys can be cc'd well by some classes like a lock. This team also has very little cc and interupts. It relies on pure dmg.

Comp 3: Holy pally, DK, survival hunter
Pros: Awesome damage, ms debuff, good cc, mana drain may tip some fights in their favor.

Cons: Los, train hunter, mostly anti melee cc. A good hunter with a pally should live forever, but he loses a lot of dmg when kiting, and suffers from los. Those situations probably won't force a loss though, just a stalemate. Actually this team seems the most well rounded, they are missing heavy healer cc, but just one strangulate and hoj/wyvern/scatter should be enough to down someone.

Comp 4: Resto shaman, DK, survival hunter
Pros: same as above minus freedom. But shaman totems rock.

Cons: Easier to train hunter, but shamans are harder to cc than pallies.

Comp 5: Holy pally, DK, mut rogue
Pros: This comp probably does best splitting dps, letting the rogue control someone and the dk wear someone else down. They have a ton of on target cc and steady dmg.

Cons: Sadly rogue is a liability on most comps now. Their dmg is average and they get kited worse than any other melee, but freedom should help. This comp is probably not as strong as with a warrior.

Couple more, resto shaman, DK, feral druid. Very nice dmg comp that can go defensive easily. Heavy melee teams will have trouble doing enough dmg to beat this comp. Might be weak vs comps with caster dmg that can cc though.

DK, lock, shaman. You can basically train the lock, but if the dk is good at peeling this comp might do some nasty dmg and has great healer cc.

Oh and I think the best comp is holy pal, dk, survival hunter, but then one I want to most play is holy pal, warrior, dk.

#1 comp on tournament realm is holy pally/dk/warlock. Resto shaman would work well too.

If you want to go paladin/warrior or ret/shaman, you need a hunter or warlock. It lacks spammable cc, and will get controlled in return.

SV Hunter / Holy Paladin / Death Knight.

Huge ranged damage, strong melee, obvious healing abilities are all realized. Has a string of CC possible as well.
