Druid/Hunter

VS.

Paladin/Warrior

The easier version of Druid/Warrior team because Paladins do not have Bear Form or Abolish Poison. Start off by putting your pet on the Paladin, and putting Vipers on him every 15 seconds, followed by a Silencing Shot to make him eat guaranteed Viper Sting ticks. The Warrior will either go onto your pet, or he will go on your Druid. If he goes on your pet, simply DPS the Paladin while Wing Clip spamming the Warrior and using other CCs. If they go on the Druid, and they put up Judgment of Justice on him, you need to help him out by Clipping the Paladin and Warrior. Use Frost Traps generally, but another good tactic is to Hunter's Mark the Warrior, Faerie Fire him, and Freezing Trap him, followed by a Silencing Shot on the Paladin, and then spam Hunter's Mark to hopefully avoid the dispel. This technique can buy your JoJ'ed Druid enough time to get away. If you can lure the Warrior out of LoS of the Paladin, you can do the same thing but its more effective.

If the Paladin is good, he will be beating on your pet with Judgment of Wisdom, this makes things more difficult, especially on Blade's Edge, but keep draining his mana, and you should have no problems. Once he is OOM, DPS the Warrior down, or the Paladin if he is conveniently in LoS.

You say this is an easier version OF DW but druids dont have dispell or blessing of freedom so it makes ccing warrior very difficult... if the warrior sticks on the hunter after the pet is dead it makes it near impossible to oom the paladin or do any dmg to kill him.

another thing i personally like to do is spam rank 1 hunters mark for those pallies who try to cleanse all the scorpid poisons. this will maintain something on the pally at all time even when the warrior taunts your pet or hamstrings it.

along with the scorpion poisons i usually keep moon fire on paly to help hide the vips the hunt is applying just a little more insurance :D

You must be joking. Magical effects have no influence on the paladin's chance to dispel a poison effect. Cleanse dispells one magical, one poison AND one disease effect with one cast all at the same time.

Or Amyntas could mean hide in the sense that if there are a lot of debuffs on the pally they might be less likely to spot the viper they should be watching out for and thus let it tick a bit longer.
