Spriest/lock

[Mechwarrior]

My 2 v 2 right now is Warrior/Druid. And we have been doing very well for the past couple of weeks, consistently going 9 - 1 or 10-0. This week though, we fought a shadowpriest lock team three times. Beating them the first time and getting 4 points, and than losing two more times and losing 52 points. Personally my opinion on my beating this combo is keeping hamstring on lock and pet, and stick on shadowpriest and try to get as many intterupts as possible. But this is our hardest team, and it's just frustrating at how easily they can beat us. Anyone got an tips?

I miss our fights mech. I suppose BT shadow resist gear isnt an option, its a cheesy strat anyways. Shadow priest burst is rough because druids are a bit more slow paced on healings which is fine for lock healer fights, rougher for double dps setups. You gotta minimize your dmg with CC/shield usesage until that shadow priest runs oom, kill shadow fiend if you see it (thats doable for a warrior right? if not just last longer I guess). Then just make sure that priest doesnt drink and hamstring lock/pet when your druid needs to drink. This is a locks point of view on the situation though, a warriors view would probly be more useful.

Kill the shadow priest asap!

[Deneb]

if you can manage that opposite of my strat thats great lol. ive found shadow priests can be damn annoying to kill though, but im a slow dps caster ><.

[Mechwarrior]

Deneb!I didn't really enjoy fighting you :(. Me and Goochie didn't have all our strats down at the time and we kinda sucked. I just remember when we killed the priest, and i said "gg" and then you 2 v 1'd us. Good times.

[Deneb]

Lol yeah I thought it was gg as well but I dont give up in most hopeless situations.

I'm trying to convince my druid to make a drive for the top but hes got like 2 alts in the current team so would probly have to make a new one. Newb stomping is always fun though.

Shadowfiends are particularly vulnerable to a warrior's fear, so if you've not used it already blow it when you see the priest bring out their pet.

Much hate for Deneb.

The real trick is range. Get right out on them fast, on their side of the arena if you can manage it, and keep them both hamstringed. Your druid can stack full hots from 40 yards without ever getting in range for silence, scream, howl, or fear. Death coil and spell lock are unavoidable but shouldn't be decisive on their own.

Constant full hots + swiftmends + NS + you pummeling appropriately should be enough to keep you up longer than a non-SL clothie can tank you.

If they're good they'll split up and approach from different angles to make sure one of them gets in range to CC the druid. Realize that the match is going to be about position and keeping your druid out of range or line of sight for their CC.
