warlock/druid vs warrior/druid

[Gharakor]

So I recently switch my 2s team composition, switched from a paladin healer to a druid healer. The switch was definitly a good one except for one thing. Warlock/druids team, which seemed hella easy with my paladin, has become a pain to fight simply because the opposing druid can do such a nice job at shutting me down, while his warlock completely shut down my druid. We've beat all other combos we encountered so far except for this one, even combos that I wouldn't even dream of beating with my paladin.

The thing I'm asking is, how do we deal with a SL/SL lock/resto druid, who do I get on, killing the pet is hard as hell because that druid is free to do what ever he wants, so he just cyclone me, then roots me when Cyclone get on DR. In the meantime the warlock is just free to do what ever he want, aka fearing and mana draining my druid.

make sure the warlock never has a pet, then just have him run in circles and drink every so often. pile 5 sunders on the petless lock and hit away while your druid cyclones the other druid. Thats how i usually beat these teams on my warrior.


for the first pet, do the cyclone feral charge bash rotation on the druid. the pet should fall easily

being prot doesnt help either =P

that's my raiding spec, I'm also the MT of my guild >_<


anyway, guess it's up to my druid then to make sure that the opposing druid isn't cycloning/root me and kill the pet.

also, I've dropped felhunters easily, but killing a voidwalker (all warlocks summon a void once you kill their puppy) with a druid healing the thing is one hell of a feat :/

Be prepared for it not to be a short game. Kill the felhunter first of course. But after that you are going to spend as long as it takes hamstringing all 3 targets while your druid runs back and forth across the arena to drink. Try to be on the warlock as your druid runs by to avoid a bad fear -> mana drain.

You still have to do dps though, to keep their druid busy healing and cycloning instead of just chasing your druid to interrupt drinking. The best thing is to pick the target of convienience between the warlock and the void. The void takes more damage due to no resilience or SL, but going on it allows the warlock free reign to nuke / or drain you. This can be bad because it forces your druid to come back out and heal you (and possibly eat a mana drain) before he has had a good drink.

It is up to your judgement and practice when to go on the void, when to go on the warlock, and when to switch to the druid as a surprise. Factors involved in the decision include line of sight between all the targets, your druid's current position, and the relative mana of both the healers.

Our games were usually won after quite a while of this (sometimes up to 30 minutes), when the enemy would make a mistake and we would score a kill on either the druid or the void. We never managed to kill a SL lock with a void out without killing one of the other targets first. Killing the druid is a good strategy to keep them honest, if your druid has plenty of mana at the minute. Suddenly switch to it and go all out, including feral charge and bash. If you try enough times, eventually you will get some lucky mace stuns or crit chains and drop it.
