Hi, i'm wondering if anyone knows a counter against Druid-Rogue-Sl/SL warlock teams cause currently if we meet em we dont realy have any chance of winning unless they screw up royaly and a long fight usualy turns out in a loss for us.
we play Frost mage-Resto shaman-BM hunter.

get your hunter to not blow bm right away save it untill you have your target lower and then pop it and unload everything, mage use pets etc at same time.
I play this setup and we tend to have trouble with certain double healer/warrior teams, in addition to some extremely well-coordinated 3 DPS teams. However in 2 dps vs. 2 dps, we tend to do relatively well due to the immense amount of pressure warlocks can put on several team members at once, combined with my ability to shut down most casters/healers/enemy rogues.

is their any chance at all priest mage rouge can defeat this combo? We have not fought it yet but we will eventually, we usually beat all teams except druid healer teams so far with out new priest
this same setup rolled my 3s yesterday twice, We run basically the same setup as you guys and we just had no answer for it.

hi yot ;D
kill the pet, both rogue (if hes muti) and warlock got + to healing and you lack MS so the druids hots will tick alot on both his mates, but the pet will die pretty easy from the burst.
or you can just try to go nuts on the druid if you catch him, but he hopefully wont let you
most teams with a warrior in it can be really hard since warriors just eat rogues.

Never seen your combo that high up so I can't really say, but i've ran the opposing so i'll try:
Only thing that seems possible is to kill the rogue and rotate any CC/interrupts on the druid whether it be CS/poly spam/earthshock/freezing trap, which will be hard against a good druid, but then again so is dropping a pet.
I'd say your safest bet is attempting to burst the rogue while throwing what CC you got at the druid after you blow cooldowns.

to bad theres no warrior that can press 2 buttons on my realm :(
I started to play this setup recently, just broke 2300 today actually.
You are going to have to do whatever is possible to avoid those mana drains, heh. We would drain mage/hunter down as the #1 priority. The rogue is only really going to do what is possible to keep the hunter occupied to hamper his DPS. The mana drain is very critical as we will not play really offensively until you are low or oom. Your team cannot afford the long game, but at the same time your only real chance is killing the druid, which if the druid is decent, it will not happen. The rogue will Cloak/Evasion and the lock can take serious punishment while the CC you have available ties up one of your dps making burst impossible.
This is going to be a very tough combo for you to beat really. Mages, hunters, and elemental shamans on a team for the most part hand us the game on a silver platter to be honest. This isnt what you want to hear, but its true for the most part.

Two healer warrior teams are longer battles, which puts a tole on my mana, but far from impossible. Any team with a warrior+DPS+Healer is not an uphill battle at all, so i disagree with you. I fight many warrior teams as SL/SL Lock, Mace Rogue, and Resto Druid (Me). We never go for the warrior. This leaves the rogue on a lock (usually) and the lock on a healer for mana drain and fear rotations. I also tend to only cyclone the warrior to abuse the timeout MS debuffs. Not sure if other teams really do this, but it nearly nullifies a warrior. Even if i screw up ccing the warrior, the dot spread and rogue dps causes the healer to expose himself, which leaves the lock to drain often enough even when a warrior is on him. And we all know what happens if the warrior goes for resto druid.

Pretty much.
The most challenging would likely be priest/pally/warrior (the extra dispel + mana burn is better than the shaman with WF imo), or druid/lock/war (mirror with a war, generally should win)
