View Full Version : How to beat lock/resto druid
My druid/rogue 2v2 is having an impossible time beating lock/druid combos. How would you go about defeating them?
My burst gets ruined by cyclones/roots/fears. usually they just chain CC me and I'm lucky if i get much of anything accomplished.

Yeah, so he can use fel domination and summon another one to pwn your face.
Kill the pet.
Targetting a pet will not stop cyclone/fear/fear/root/root/cyclone/cyclone.

PS some real advice:
Well I play with a Priest, so our strat is much different, but I imagine your Druid should either try to stay completely out of range and just duck in to HoT you once in a while (avoiding Fear) while you kill the pet, or...
Druid CCs their Warlock while you kill the pet. The key is that you cannot allow your Druid to get CC'd while you're CC'd. As long as you're trading one for one, it's OK. If you allow the Warlock to utilize Fear, you're going to have problems.
I wish I could give you more concrete advice, but playing HPriest + Rogue is lightyears different from RDruid + Rogue. With our matrix the Warlock (if he's smart) goes for my Priest and tries to mana-drain him while I'm 100% CC'd by Cyclone and Fear.
At the start of the game I'll always eat a Cyclone, which I trinket out of, Druid will try to Cyclone me again immediately so I CloS and get back on the Warlock. If I get Feral Charged, I Vanish out of it. It's possible to Gouge the Druid and restealth when he's humanoid form, then Sap (if you have Imp Gouge).
We just wear the Warlock down and constantly maintain half a bar of energy to allow for Gouge if Kick and KS are on cooldown. When the Druid has to come in range to heal, Priest Mana Burns.

killing the pet makes this fight significantly easier. i am also a rogue/priest combo, though, so at least i can support the rogue with dispel.
drawing the pet out of line of sight will force the warlock to come closer to fear, which your druid can cyclone/bash/charge; if the druid comes to save the pet, he himself becomes susceptible to CC as well. hopefully by then your rogue has killed the first pet and the lock brings out a voidwalker to dissuade you from killing it again. at least voidwalkers are somewhat reliably controlled and it gives your druid some breathing room.
good luck
