I'm SL/SL of course, but didn't add that to the title due to the multiple /'s.

Went up against 3 of these teams in a row tonight. In duels and shit it's easy to 1v1 them but as soon as you give that ar/prep rogue a healer there just isn't jack shit I can seem to do once I've blown my round of cooldowns.

The first match you could tell the team was new to the comp due to the rogue getting on my priest. We quickly got the upper hand, but as soon as his teammate (or him) figured out it would be better to just focus on me the match went to shit. Between the double vanish and sprint, kiting doesn't seem like a reliable option and I sure as hell wasn't out dpsing him.

Currently what I'm doing is keeping dots on the rogue and trying to keep them on the priest in between trying to keep myself alive. Due to the longevity of the fight I blow my trinket early to allow it to be up again (same with escape artist). As far as pets go, I of course start with the felpuppy, but with the priests being disc (as most are) he just PI's and smites it twice and chances are it's dead.


What am I missing? Or is priest/rogue just too strong of a counter comp and the only way I can really expect a win is if they fuck up somehow?

This is my first season running 2v2 with a healer (ran with a mage in 1 and 2), so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

with a disc priest, that is probably you worst match up. You have to do a couple things:

Keep your pet away from you. Bladeflury will rip both of you appart, and its almost gauranteed a loss once your pet takes too much damage, especially after fel dom.

Use 4piece bonus if you have it, and try to get fears off after some dots, so its not dispelable right away. get a CoEx on the rogue asap, and move away from him to add time hes not on you. this is probably waisting AR, and will most likely waste a sprint.

CS(im used to saying this instead of spell lock) priests holy. if hes smiting, CS it, and lock his holy. Try and have your priest peel the rogue off with a fear when their priest gets near.

Theres a couple nasty things they can do to you too, which includes the priest and the rogue standing right on top of you. Now if your pets on the priest, the pets on you and bladeflurry will rape your team. I can only tell you to watch for it =/ and tyr and get your pet to stand still if the priest does this.

hopefully you can live through the CDs of the rogue, cause then you might be able to win with rotating fears on priests/rogue. thats about all i can think of vs that team, but its definitly an uphill battle for you
