Healy priest/sl lock 2v2 team

[Smyhte]

Who here runs that?
I'd love to ask any experienced people running this team some questions. :)

I ran shadow priest/aff lock for s2--- but got annoyed with my spec and felt being a healer was more powerful. (I originally was a healer-- just went shadow for awhile--- back when I raided.)

So for s3 I want to respec along with my lock partner and be an outlast/manaburn team. I'm arena point capped, honor point capped... will start s3 with 2/5 merciless, 3/5 vengeful and all the vindicator's gear.

Which 2v2 class match ups are the most difficult for you?
Which 2v2 class match ups are the easiest for you?

Thanks!

I have run that and reached about 2300.

It beats anything without a warrior, though a hunter priest combo does give you a little difficulty. Anything with a warrior rips off your face.

Anything with a Warrior or Rogue on it will make you work for the win. The Warrior can literally sit on the priest for almost the entire match, and the Rogue can sit on the warlock, limiting him completely to instants.

You do well vs most 2 DPS teams, and other warlock/healer teams.

Don't forget about Mind Control. It's rare that the opportunity presents itself to be used effectively (usually not more than twice in one battle), but it can be an incredibly valuable tool for helping a partner gain distance on a Rogue or Warrior.

for us, its anything with a rogue in it, it just doesn't really matter who else. even with PS it is still not enough, and with the buff, almost every team we face has a rogue on it atm trying to get gladiator, i lost mine in 2v2 already :(

we now consistantly beat 2 dps unless it has a rogue in it, and warrior/druid. other drain teams and mirror matches we usually win due to skill level.

we can usually beat war/healer groups, but any rogue/healer group is very difficult

anything without a rogue or war is usually a pretty easy win for us

[Vadim]

Any rogue team is usually trouble, since
a) they can't be punished for wearing pve gear that gimps their resilience
b) they usually run with priests, who basically rape the only dps(dispel) from SL/SL locks
c) Priests are the least efficient healers; mana will become a major issue with the rogue locking down your warlock(and his dps).

Thanks for replies, all!

I figured rogue teams would still be annoying. They tend to kill us as aff lock/spriest anyway. We generally stubbornly queue vs them-- but haven't found any amazing counters. lol Rogue locks down lock-- priest mana burns me if I try to deal with the rogue-- rogue kills lock if I try to deal with the priest.

We never were successful at fearing the rogue and killing the priest... when we did win vs that match up we'd usually chain cc the priest and gib the rogue as if it was a war/healer team. (with an intermission due to clos)

Me being healy will toss that strat out the window.

I always felt war/healer teams were easy to kill as aff/sp.. (until after 2-3 matches they suddenly clapped on SR. /ignore ftl)... but feel those match ups might be more difficult as well with sl/hpriest.

I found rogue/frost mage to be annoying to fight as sp/aff also.... am I wrong in thinking that will be easier when I'm healy?

What's my best bet vs rogue+healer teams??

You actually have a decent chance vs teams that put the rogue on the warlock - generally, the rogue isn't doing much more damage than the warlocks 3 instant dots. It comes down to which priest plays better. Your problem should be rogue teams who put the rogue on you and spam dispel.
