[2v2] Rogue/Warlock vs Warlock/druid

[Cantis]

wtf do we do to beat this team. im with the druid. we're 2-3 now all 3 losses to rogue/lock. My druid jsut dies too fast. Help

you'll need to help out your druid in this matchup. I'm rogue/druid and get the same problem versus rogue/warlock. What you need to do is control one of the dps. Either slow down the rogue or the warlock depending on positioning. You can fear or curse to slow them down and give your druid a chance to run away and stabilize if he took any damage.

Opening: A good rogue/lock team will have a rogue in stealth(duh) and the warlock on mount with paranoia buff. The warlock will slowly walk to keep the rogue within paranoia buff to find and lock down your druid. Keep the druid far away and disrupt this combo. Fear the warlock or get them to break up and slow down the dps. Slow dps against them will ease your win.

Ended up going 5-5 with 12 min ques for each game...1st time playing together in a month. God I hate 2v2

It's rather funny that you aren't spec SL and they are still ripping the druid first. I would alternate fear spam on both targets to force trinket/WOTF then wait 20 seconds and do it again.

A full duration fear without trinket is a fucking pain.

Even tho it says im UA i play sl/sl in 2v2... my druid has 1 piece of merc gear so he cant live all that long vs 2 full merc gladiator players. Id normally just go up engage with the other warlock, once rogue popped out id CoEx him and fear him. He would wotf out my druid is then on the run (in nagrand everytime btw) and when I go to fear warlock rogue pops sprint. Once fear is off on lock he uses wotf to get out of it. I go to fear rogue again but he cloaks. I fear warlock he trinkets. CloS is up for rogue so I fear he trinkets. Then I deathcoil the rogue because my druid is in trouble, while hes deathcoiled I fear warlock and put CoEx on both of them... Rogue will Deadly throw druid druid switches out then back in(into bear form sometimes) they have him cornered and im just dotting and trying to trade off fear with the both of them. Eventually my druid cant keep himself up anymore and he dies.

Your real problem is that your druid doesn't have the right gear for arena. You should have a lot easier of a time next patch if your druid is willing to grind out the honor for s1 gladator pieces to fill the gaps in his gear for resilience. A resto druid who kites well and who has full gladiator healing gear is truly a difficult target to kill. And once you have made them burn trinket and wotf it should be fairly trivial to fear control one target once the you've let the DR reset. Also don't forget about cyclone, your druid most likely has control of nature which should allow him to get off a few cyclones even with a rogue on him. Really you have two opposing strategies colliding here. The rogue and warlock are a short to mid game team, and you are a mid to long game team, you need your druid to survive long enough for your dots and their lack of healing to catch up with them.
