[2vs2] Hunter/Priest vs Rogue/Fmage

[Balzack]

Hello everyone, how do you deal with this setup? We tried everything but we can't seem to win if they play it right. They focus on me, during stuns slowing effects frost novas etc i can't do anything at all and they cc my priest who can't pole dance to avoid sheeps because i need healing. I try to silence scatter every sheep i can but still i nthe end he gets it off. Is there any way to counter this?

One trick to counter sheep:
Have your priest watch the mage closely, just as he finishes casting sheep, hit him with SW:death. The backlash will break polymorph. Make sure to time it when he finishes the spell, not during, otherwise it'll pushback the sheep and it'll damage too early. To some extent it works on fear, I pulled it off on blind once but that was ridiculously lucky haha.

I try to save my trinket on the blind, since that's usually the worst one and never breaks early.

Flare trap stand together in the open dont let them get the cs.

If they focus hunter:

Have ur priest add mage to focus @ start (should do vs any mage combot) and watch ur focus cast bar, /cast [target=focus] Shadow word: Death when mage is finishing his polymorph. (death the first sheep, leave the second diminished save ur trinket for blind) Get ur priest to fear rogue @ start try use up his trinket asap (unless undead rogue) use ur scatter + trinket to get range on rogue and unload as much as possible on mage, Use everything when he gets back in range to survive deterence, feigns silences on mage flare so he cant re-open on u until ur fears/scatters up again. Once the rogues trinkets down and u start scattering+fearing him and he has no outs its pretty much gg.

If they focus your priest:

Keep flare on ur priest so rogue cant vanish and re-open. Try to get imp conc on rogue every time its up, use scatters on rogue try to help ur priest as much as possible however the main objective is nuke the shit out of their mage without letting him sheep u, DO NOT GET SHEEPED, pole up, silence shot feign use everything to avoid it whilst putting heavy pressure on him so he cant nuke ur priest.

Do all that or spec bm, ur choice :) BM sux tho.

Yeah BM can wreck that rogue pretty hard....MM is probably better for most situations though

Sazbot, is focus cast bar a mod? How can I turn that on?

Your Priest needs to learn to break Polymorph with Shadow Word: Death.

I use quartz cast bars, u can enable / disable cast bars move them where ever u want enlarge etc for just about any party member target or focus.

Ahh thanks, I thought there might've been a way to do it with the default UI. I'm kinda scared to get a whole new mod after I'm used to what I play with now, and Quartz sounds intimidating =X

Thanks for your help, told priest how you could brake sheep with sw death but still got to meet another good rogue/fmage to test it out. Speccing BM is not vaiable, i would loose too much.

This is by far the most annoying combo for us. The only games we lost are aginst that combo. I put flare and trap and stay on flare and the rogue still manages to sap my priest even tho he is in center of flare. I just cant lose the rogue .... I do scatter + trinket and flare and then he just pops spring and again on me. Mage is sheeping priest even tho I interrupt and priest does SW death he still CCs too much and in the end he is oom and im dead. I just dont have the time to nuke him hard enough.
