[3v3] R. Druid/S. Priest / Affl Lock

[Cova]

How do you beat teams like... Rogue/lock/priest or rogue/lock/druid.

what about 2 locks /pal team?

it it possible to get like 2300 with this team, or will the mage/rogue/priest teams at 2.2k stomp us?

currently at 2100

as funny as this might sound, u actually have to put pressure on the rogue. cc the healer while ur dpsing the rogue, once cloak is down, go to town, putting pressure on the healer in the form of dots / mana burns if necessary, and u should be able to win.

i played this combo cept with resto sham, maybe they kite better against warlocks, but eithet way druid should be awesome.

warriors first, a 3v3 in my battlegroup, recently switched their comp from r. druid, spriest, affl lock, to a rogue instead of a warlock, but they were at 2550. you completely stomp any team with a warrior but have difficulties with rogues.

basically what he said. i run with both a shaman and druid.

now you use a druid so ill explain that strat....

it depends on what they have.

rogue in all classes+healer.

but its their 3rd class that makes the diff in strat.

if its a mage/spriest/warrior/hunter/rogue FF this first.

Cyclone/Root/fear/CoEx spam the rogue. so hes CCd and easily kitable. he will instantly blow cooldowns making him useless.

his healer is now an easy CC and his partner is toast.

BUT if its rogue/WARLOCK/healer (it will 99% be a SL/SL lock=hard to kill for ur setup)

CC the warlock, with their warlock CCd (should be easy to kite the rogue now) Kill the rogue/healer.

A good rogue will always FF ur Warlock, ur warlock has to know how to kite or ull have 0% chance. tip for kiting is (wait for kidney to be used...DO NOT trinket it, wait for it to wear off and iHoT. trinket and CoEx/RUN AWAY, hopefully no cloak so u can stay away, if a cloak keep runnning, when he gets close fear+coex again)


p.s if the lock by some chance is UA/FG/destro.....FF them and CC rogue (just like in case1)

[Escabar]

now a GOOD rogue/healer can synergize well to have high survivability if their partner is an Sl/Sl lock.

i.e. their rogue is good at using the 3 poison shiv trick.

if thats the case u MUST CC the rogue or ur team will get completely shut down.

Now with the rogue CCd u MUST

1)apply pressure on their healer via all ur dots (BUT DONT GO CHASING him)
2) Full dots on the warlock
3) SOME DOTS+Curse of Shadows on the felhunter

WHEN U see the felhunter low on hp BURST IT DOWN, make sure ur spriest is NOW spamming dispel on the warlock to dispel his feldom, he will now be petless and as useless as a wet fish.

ohh yah dont forget to kite/cc the rogue LOL

Shadow priest just has no endurance, they go oom fast and die easily and once oom have no real good way to get mana back fast.

Which is completly the opposite of resto druids. Making the combo pritty weak.

Shadow priests are good, don't get me wrong. They can do massive damage in burst.

We're at 2.1k atm, we stomp warrior teams so bad. Rogues give us difficulties but they arent impossible, I just root/cyclone them to lock them down.

Maybe going for the rogue is an idea, im not sure though.

We struggle a lot against mage/priest/rogue, any tips for that?

[Cova]

Just got to 2200, losing alot against Ice mage/ priest / rogue. Our SP goes oom, rogue is pressuring either lock or priest, hard to cyclone with a counterspell at the ready. Blind + fear combo on me is GG.

Warrior teams are easy, rogue on the other hand =/. Can't really burst DPS down the priest either with a rogue and a mage to relieve him.

I just think this combo is really hard.

However WHAT the hell do we do vs holy priest/ soullink lock /resto druid. That's IMPOSSIBLE for us.

I've been running a few different setups in 3v3.. including...

Warrior - RDruid - Warlock
RDruid- HPriest- Warlock
RDruid- Hpriest- Warrior

Gonna say that your team will win everytime against the first, never against the second and rarely against the third. If you're facing teams with lots of surivability then you're screwed because you have a shadow priest and a linkless lock. IMO a rogue will tear through either one of those before you can wait for him to have no cooldowns left =/ Maybe a paladin for better burst healing and anti-melee blessings would be a better healer choice?

The team we used to have the most problem with was fmage/hpriest/rogue, the trick against those is to MANABURN the mage, he goes oom real fast, you have to count on him evocating once and manaburning him again, but the first thing you should do is put up all your dots on him(i play with an ua lock, me as an spriest), and just start manaburning/draining, they get so desperate. We've never really had problems with teams like that after we came up with this tactic. When the mage is oom just nuke him, he got no defenses and with only a rogue on their nuketarget, mostly the warlock, its piece a cake usually. We still havent come up with some tactic against hpriest/sl/sl lock/rogue though.

That's good Lesdo, cheers.
