After further consideration, and after hearing from many players, we are going to change how we approach the 2 vs. 2 arena bracket in Arena Season 7. We still think the 3 vs. 3 and 5 vs. 5 brackets will ultimately offer the best play experience, especially for very competitive gamers for whom game class balance issues are most noticeable. However, we recognize that many players just prefer to play in the 2 vs. 2 bracket and will miss the chance to earn the current season's gear. Therefore, we are going to still allow the 2 vs. 2 bracket to grant access to the current season of gear with three important exceptions: the current season's weapons will not be available for purchase, the current season’s shoulder armor will not be available for purchase, and players will not qualify for the Gladiator title/rewards unless you earn the appropriate rating in the 3 vs. 3 or 5 vs. 5 bracket. We look forward to the changes in the next major content patch and hope to have a great next Arena Season.

AWESOME !
Personally, I don't really care about the 2s imbalance. I play a set-up I consider strong ( feral/frost mage ) and I know i'll never get weapon so I am happy.
HUZZAH !

Makes me know I can still compete in 2v2 (as compared to the other brackets). Defintely gonna set up a 5v5 team, but this change means that I will still keep my 2v2.

I thiink this will move all the casual PvPers into 2v2, and serious players to 3v3 and 5v5.
This.

Its a step in the right direction. I really hope they introduce a weapon that can be bought at 1600 rating (for 3's or 5's) as it is going to be much more difficult to obtain those ranks in 3 or 5's than it is in 2's

OP: I've seen you mention your 2v2 setup in another thread before and I'm just curious as to why you run Feral / Frost Mage? Apart from playing the setup as you enjoy it, what advantages do you see from it?
I can't imediately think of anything distinct but I'm thinking its of similar play style to Mage / Rogue. Like comparing Priest / Rogue to Priest / Feral. If you get what I mean.

- Non shared DR besides stuns. ( polymorph-cyclone-CS for example ).
- Excellent mobility ( reseting fights is way easier than with rogue/feral ).
- Insane burst.
My only regret is the lack of MS and facing resto druids....
It's certainly not the best feral set-up. A priest or a rogue would be better in a perfect world but my partner is one of the best player I ever seen and a long time wow friend.

Yeah non shared DR is great. Just the lack of MS and it can be a bit of a pain trying to Cyclone and then get in a position to burst again I guess.
But then again Feral / Frost Mage is probably better than Mage / Rogue in terms of outlasting with the Druid not relying on heavy cooldowns as much. Backup heals are always nice too.
So yeah nice setup you got there. I was considering Frost / Balance for a possible setup with the nice synergy of Moonkin Aura and the 13% spell damage boost from the Earth and Moon debuff along with the Mage's Focus Magic.
Roots and Frost Nova would share DR I assume though?
