I plan on leveling up a warlock alt and having him go herbing/mining so my main may go inscriptionist while still being able to level up blacksmithing. I was just wondering what actually does beat SL Lock/Pally? My 2's team now is actually pretty happy when we see a lock with his pet and a pall. However, I really don't imagine I will be seeing many other enhance/resto teams.

UA Lock + Shadow Priest can generally beat SL lock + pal easily. A soul link warlock has decent sustained DPS but next to no burst, and the pally won't be doing any damage himself. As an affliction lock, with Spriest partner, we would focus on running the pally oom. You can either do it directly by trying to keep him in LOS and using Mana Burn + Drain Mana, or by tossing around lots of rank 1 DOTs if you see him dispelling a lot. We could also just burn down one of them if the situation presents itself. Often, I would land a banish on the felhunter just as my priest partner MCes the pally and runs him away. At that point you have a warlock without soul link and with no healer, it doesn't take long to drop him.

Other teams that can work are rogue+priest and rogue+druid. Basically the rogue stays put on the warlock as much as possible, and the priest/druid tosses him the occasional HOT and trying to distract the pally via mind control, cyclone, mana burn, etc. The pally will generally be spending more mana keeping the warlock alive than the rogue's healer will, so rogue+healer teams can outlast them if they make sure not to let the pally drink.

I am a UA lock and I play with a pally...I have yet to be beat by MS/Paladin..when we see that group its actually a "aight cool warrior/pally, we got this"...All you have to do is dot up both, and while the pally heals you drain his mana...it may take about 10 minutes to win, but once the pallies mana is drained he most likely has bubbled already...then you just dot and fear the pally and he drops very quickly. Granted, I have 454 resi and my pally is amazing at healing, so I don't even get close from the warrior killing me...but its easy.

Druid/lock combo is a little tougher, I have found to beat this team it is a matter of doing the same thing as a warrior/pally combo...dot and mana drain the druid.

Lock/Rogue will murder Lock/Paladin.

What we usually will do is target the paladin and make him burn his bubble really fast, this takes no longer than 4s for us to do most of the time, and i'll fear the warlock to keep him from putting his dots on us right away. Then we murder the paladin, and kill the warlock and usually both of us will be full health still at the end of this.

My 2v2 is a holy priest/UA lock and we regularly beat pally/SL lock. I'd also imagine they'd have a hard time with druid/SL lock or druid/warrior.

Well-geared Rogue/Priest can take myself and my paladin partner out, assuming that the priest is the right spec. Mana Burn just eats my paladin alive, and the rogue stays on me. Typically it's a close fight, with the priest running low on mana towards the end, but I just don't have the mobility (especially w/o CoEx).

Well, I have to go back on my statement of never losing to a rogue...I am afflic, so I have CoEx and last night my partner and I got ROCKED by this setup...I tried my hardest to stop the mana burns but the rogue had me completely locked up. So kudos to that team.

I'm a priest that plays with a rogue partner and so far we've had 100 % success rate vs warlock/paladin, in fact we see warlock/paladin as free rating. Basically what happens is that I gimp my resilience for more +healing/regen and my rogue gimps his resilience almost fully, for more DPS. As soon as the cheapshot lands I spam dispell on the warlock so I make sure I remove the fel armor which will put a lot of stress on the paladin. I just make sure to dispell Hoj on my rogue and BOF on the lock and find my to that paladin and proceed to manaburn. There are times where the pet is Los from their paladin and so we kill it in a few hits so I can drink, or we just shiv the pet.

Holy priest + SL warlock vs warlock pally is just too easy. Fear the warlock, mana burn the pally. He goes oom very fast.
