[2v2] Warlock/Warlock

[Demonized]

We have trouble with Rogue/priest groups.

I run as Affliction, partner runs SL.

Generally the SL warlock runs out just ahead of my, to draw the attention when we see a priest, and nothing else... by which we assume rogue..
Half the time the rogue ends up on me, which pretty much means I'm dead w/o getting UA on the priest, which means he's free to dispel all my instants, as well as the DoT's of the SL warlock.
SL warlock gets out Felguard (without using Fel domination) to keep damage on the rogue which CLoS won't get rid of, and intercept stuns helps with getting away from the rogue.

Our problem generally lies in not being able to drain(mana) the priest down, kill the priest, or the rogue, nor keep either Feared for a decent amount of time.. (I swear they run either Double undead, or the priest is a dwarf.. every time). I'd say about 30 of our few 2v2 games are vs that make-up.

Any suggestions?

Prepost edit: We keep CoT/CoS(CoA) on the priest but it doesn't matter much with renews and PoM.

if the priest is smart, you will never get a UA off. deathcoil the priest, then fear it, then UA, then mana drain. pressure the rogue, by fully dotting him. including UA. keep 1 felhunter on the rogue, another on the priest. that way, if any buffs hit either of them, its instantly dispelled. but, honestly i think that is your paper to your rock team. sometimes it happens.

Yep, that's one team that would take quite a bit of skill and a lot of luck to win. The only bad thing about keeping a felhunter on each target is that PoM will keep bouncing back and forth between the two. You're not going to mana drain the priest down before one or both of you die, so you really just need to try to focus one. I would aim for the rogue, toss some dots on him and after he pops cloak, try to keep the priest CC'd and then go all out on the rogue. Good luck though, that's a very powerful combo vs casters.

no the point is to devour it as soon as it comes on. how many buffs can a priest throw up? fort, spirit, shadow prot. sometimes fear ward, and renew's and POM. so in the middle of the fight, all those should be taken by the puppy from both of them. when POM hits one of them, instant devour.

Okay, me and my partner are lock/lock and we never lose to rogue/priest. Studying your opponents is how 'the win' comes. The way PoM works is if the PoM target is hit it will bounce to his partner within 20 yards, and bounce back and forth if they are both taking damage. If you face a holy priest you have to dps the priest and ONLY the priest.

If the rogue is taking any damage whatsoever PoM will boucne back to the priest and wreak healing havok. So JUST burn the priest while doing your best yo ignore the rogue.

Btw just a lil off note, we seem to do better with a UA lock (me) and a siphon life/SL lock (partner). Felguard locks dont have much place in the high arenas.
