Druid/Hunter

VS.

Shaman/Warrior

Sit on a pillar, and wait for them; there is no need to rush a Totem farm. When the Warrior rushes in on you, Freezing Trap him, and then run to where the Shaman and start draining his mana with Viper Sting and put your pet on him. The most notable thing to know in this fight is that you must kill totems, which is very easy to do with your dual one handers. Windfury and Poison Cleansing are the two most crucial for you to kill, along with Mana Tide when it goes down. When they pop Heroism, try to dispel it from the Warrior first, and then the Shaman.

If the Warrior goes for you, have your Druid spam CC on him while you drain the mana of the Shaman and kill totems. It doesn't matter much who you DPS at this point, because the goal is to lower his mana. They have no dispel, so you can Freeze the Warrior, but you need to kill Grounding Totems first. If the Warrior goes on your Druid DPS him, but be aware of his health and insane sword crits.

Once the Shaman is low on mana take your pet off of him and turn off your Scorpid Poison then put the pet on the Warrior. From this point on, having your pet on the shaman is giving him infinite mana, so keep him in combat using Viper Sting, Arcane Shot, and your Druid. DPS the Warrior down.

just wondering you are saying shaman use Water shield when he is low mana.. my rating not high but I faced today 4 Warrior / Shaman 2v2 and Shaman were spamming Water shield from begining and made my pet useless..

Ignore the watershield simply. Sure the shaman regs mana, but with constant viper sting and poison from pet on him, he will be oom after a few minutes, and with well timed cyclone, roots and freezing trap the warrior isn't able to do any damage to your or your druid.
I'm playing shaman+warrior myself, and there is no chance to win against good druid+hunter combos, if they play right.

ya but there is such problem... Warrior is on me non stop and ignore Druid. problem is that I have 428 res, 12k health and Warrior can burn me with in 6 sec so pretty much Druid dont have much time to drink and Shaman simply regain his mana while Warrior Harmstring me. dunno wha I am doing wrong or my gear is too bad heh...

i have started to use the pet only to the shaman is downt o about 2k mana, then i remove the pet and have it beside me and use a totem killer macro to get down those totems asap. then i just w8 in the silence shot and vipersting + i dont dps him at all, just use arcane shot as soon as he has his watershield up to dispell it > send in pet for a few sec > take back and rens and repeat

As the druid against shamman teams, I hit the shammy with rank 1 moonfires to eat the grounding totem.

Ok so sitting on a pillar is good and all but when i do that so does the shaman so i usually have to chase him around while warrior hamstrings me and i cant seem to get ahold of the shaman.

I'm going to disagree with Chora. With enough resilience and an early water shield, a shaman who knows how to line of sight and instantly dispell viper sting won't be oom after a few minutes. Viper sting/silencing shot when the shaman comes out to heal would be your best bet.

My only problem with this team is that I'm using a horrible weapon (Valanos' Longbow)
and really need my druid to help finish it. you can scare beast ghost wolves if they let you and make a macro that kills poison cleansing totems, WF totems and mana tide totems. Chasing a shaman is not difficult after you get LoS.

I play as Dreamstate with my hunter. If the druid just keeps dots on the shamen and throws a wrath once and awhile, the shamen will die quick. Just ignore the mana shield, worry about kill totems. Use the macro to kill totems in the druid macro section it awesome.

The trick here is to nuke the warrior. YES the warrior! this team is extremely vunerable to CC. you should root / stun the warrior while your hunter shoots down the warrior. The shaman should be in frosttrap for 8secs.. cyclone spam.. for also 8secs atleast.. and a bash of 4secs.. Be smart.. Dont wait till the CC's are over to put on new ones. make sure you help your hunter with moonfire / insectswarm.. and then re-CC the shaman.
If you fail to take the warrior down, dont give up.. That warrior does almost 0dmg with the crazy CC your team has.. keep viper on the shaman and wait till the next opportunity comes.

yes cc shaman nuke warrior.You hust need to separate them if shaman trying to avoid vipers and running out,just nuke warrior and when shaman comes silence him then scatter trap then chain cyclone.Warrior must be dead ;p

do u use a totem killing pet macro therefore ur pet is letting the shaman regen less mana while u dont take ur eye off the shaman and can constantly drain
RavialAug 16, 2008 - 2:11 PM (HideShow)
You should remove pet from shaman wen hes around on 1k mana,bechause you can't oom/kill good shaman whit pet and water shield on him,so,remove pet from him,CC shaman if possible,and nuke warrior,I think that would be the way.
