Druid/Hunter

VS.

Priest/Rogue

Another very simple combo to beat. Run up to a pillar, drop a Flare and Frost Trap, and wait for the Rogue to attempt to jump you. Get him out of stealth and start kiting. You'll need to be pursuing the Priest to get Viper's up on him, and avoiding all Mana Burns if possible. If the Rogue goes on you, the Hunter, there really is a 0% chance that they can win, because your Druid can simply Abolish you and you can kite away. If the Rogue goes on your Druid and you get CC'ed, things can possibly get hairy. The only way they can kill your Druid is if the Rogue pops all of his CD's on him, you waste your trinket on something other than Blind, or you get Feared, and you're not in a position to help your Druid. If the Priest is spam dispelling your Druid, and he's going down fast, you need to Scatter the Rogue, and spam Wing Clip.

Be sure not to neglect Flares. If the Rogue is on your Druid, and you're spamming Clip's on him, he will Vanish, and if he gets to your Druid again in stealth things can get bad.

DPS the Rogue or Priest down once the Priest is OOM. I usually choose the Rogue because he's the one most easily in LoS.

They can also kill your pet for a win - don't let this happen. If it does, CC or retreat and resummon a new one.

Feign Death if the Priest puts his Shadow Fiend on you. If he puts it on the Druid, have him kite away.

I would like to disagree, for me this is actually quite a hard combo and you make it sounds far to easy.
Firstly, a good team will probably go on the hunter and mana burn him. This is quite easy to do considering that you will be stunlocked/gouges while mana burnt. You say it is easy to kite and heal, with abolish poison, well it's not since most of HoTs and Abolishes will be dispelled by the priest. It is also likely that you druid will get good control, with fear,blind,fear and also likely to get mana burnt at times. The hunter will infact have trouble dpsing the rogue. usually it will be a quick fight, since your mana will go down faster then priest's with Shadowfiend.

Even if they kill your pet it isn't that difficult to go and rez him if you have imp rez. Also the priest is using a lot of mana spamming dispels and mana burns which is getting you closer to your goal. Have your druid cyclone the rogue and if healing is really tight cyclone the priest so he wont dispel the hots.

i have my shadowfiend pewpew the pet and well i have to disagree with the ease of hunter/druids beating us seeing we get alot of opportunities to kill the hunter, i'm thinking you're underestimating the combo alot!

so ur druid is ds... what if they go offensive on hunter spamdispelling + mb/swd etc and trying to get a fear/blind... ur hunter will mostly die if the drood gets feared if they do it that way... another thing is to blind early and make him waste trinket (if not the priest will fear after the blind and he has to trinket) and just stay alive for 1min 30sec and then kill hunter with a blind/fear? Although ur right u got the advantage :p but the fight is much easier for the priest/rogue if the druid is ds
