[2v2] MS Warrior/H Priest

[Ghettob]

well bascically where running into 2 dps cc teams ex. last night mage warlock...they kill my war in 10 secs.... im cc'd to hell cant do shit, so they jack 31 points in 2 games from us.... we've tryed to play defensive and that didnt work, we tryed aggresive that didnt work... so i kno this team is gonna rape us pretty ez but is there anything i can do to keep my war up, between polys and silences all i got is bubble and instants.... curse is on me and constant poly's and fears... so i cant heal worth shit...i just hate those type of teams cause we just cant seem to get lucky... so any tips i would appreciate... ive tryed almost everything, my war is in full vet full merc lvl 2 lionheart 400ish res, dont recall off top of my head, LOS obv and pop instants but even then he still drops fast as hell

a large part of this fight will be both u and ur priests positioning, if u stand near a LOS spot, so he can pop out, heal, then duck behind the pole, that will always help.. get him to go in, hamstring, intervene back out with a slowed rogue to give ur priest a second to manaburn even.


time that first shadow word death right so that it interrupts the first sheep, trinket the second one or the blind, interrupt his sheep casts with phsycic scream / LOS long enough for ur warrior to tear the rogue a new one.

keep bubble and renew up as much as u can

u could even put ur warrior on the mage if u need to make sure poly's dont go off.

Hpriest/war is IMO still a weak combo ... (rogue is a lot better), but you can still rape some face.

Main focus.. LoS. If your warrior is playing well with you, and caters to your LoSing, the mage will do very little dps while trying to cc u while ur war rapes on the lock (or rogue).

The mage only needs 1 solid CC to nuke your war down + a CS and its over. That means a full duration poly, (always SW:D when its up for refreshed full dur. polys.) or a blind/long fear. All of these CC's can be LoSed and that will get your team the win. Another thing .. spam dispel mages so that you warrior doesnt get kited trying to dps the mage. He will refresh frost armor which should be dispelled.

If you can LoS/break his polys and eat one CS your warrior shouldnt be in too much danger with Shield/PrOm/Renew. You basically haev to get ur warrior to cater and play semi defensive according to your positioning. This is probably the most difficult on Blade's Edge imo, but u can effectively outrange/LoS on any map and if done correctly u will destroy any mage/otherdps combo.

Dont waste ur time. This combo will get utterly destroyed in the high end. IF your going for 2k it is easily played should be no problem. If your going for glad... find a warlock or rogue.

but yah this combo is way too much work for what it's worth. I've been able to get to 2k both seasons but even then it's pretty hard since you WILL lose to low rated war+pld/sham/druid teams pretty much for free.

I just have to say something. As Warrior/Priest our favorite opponents are doble casters. (Except for SPriest/WL that get's tricky, but everything else we kill to about 80%. Obviously they'll wanna go on my warrior. I go out and start dispelling, and basically take away there buffs. I usually get sheeped. As said, I break it with swd. At this point my warrior charges in. I spam my dispell macro on him, and as soon as the mage pet is out, he goes deff and intervenes to me (In the meantime I have been walking balk to our base (on lordaeron it is almost 100% win, on nagrand it is lots of LoS (and fast dispelling - global cooldowns seem like an eternity some times :P) and on Blade's Edge it's fine too.
Anyway, he intervenes on me and go for cover. Usually they don't / can't realy follow us, because they would be accepting LoS issues. And then when the pet is gone we attack again. If he coldsnaps and gets another pet we get out again, then drink a sip and out we are. Spamdispell on warrior and mage.
As a Priest you basically are immortal vs. mage&mage/SP/WL. So abuse it and get there buffs off and put pressure on them! It works. (We've beaten 2200er double mage team more then once, it just takes like 8 minutes.) Ah, and don't forget to dot them.
Vs. Rogues it is more difficult. Your warrior needs to stay on the rogue, that's the way we do it atleast. So wise trinket usage is neccesary, from both players. (SWD has to be used for sheep if they attack the warrior, otherwise you royally screwed vs. blind and CS combo.
Hope it was helpful.

listen to mano, thats the way to go vs double dps. but the priest has to really bring out his A-game.
vs rogue/frmage we usually go for the mage 1st. because the priest is eventually gonna die and its a lot easier for the warrior to go 1on1 with a rogue than a frostmage.so the mage has to die before or at the time as the priest. so (mass)dispell is crucial

and hold on to it, i think the 2.3 disc and heal-to-spdam changes will be a huge buff for this combo
