Druid/Rogue

VS.

Paladin/Warrior

Our strategy is to primarily stay on the Warrior. Blessing of Freedom and Dispels make keeping the Warrior off the Rogue and keeping the Rogue on the Paladin quite difficult.

Cyclone, Feral Charge, and stun the Pally to force the Paladin bubble. During this time he may put Blessing of Protection on the Warrior, but just Cyclone him and heal your Rogue.

After the bubble is down you can take 2 routes. Get on the Paladin or the Warrior. My personal preference is to get on the Warrior and CC the Paladin. Make sure your save some mana so you can DPS the Warrior during the 6 second Cyclone. Also try to get your Rogue to Blind the Paladin right out of bubble, giving you even more time to take down the Warrior. Once again, if the Warrior gets low and the Paladin is out of CC's on him, just Cyclone the Warrior a few times to help Regen your Rogue's energy.

From this point on just make sure you don't run out of mana and you are golden. This is one of the matchups newer Druid/Rogue teams have trouble with, but in the end should be free points.

We just use to go on the paladin and force him to bubble by putting hard pressure while warrior is rooted and we just throw off some wraths and moonfires, insect swarm. When he pulls BoF up on the paladin we just throw of a cyclone on warrior, it should be really easy match to get the pally bubbling by putting pressure on him.

what about when warrior goes on druid, paladin judges justice and throws bof on warrior? druid goes down kinda fast, specially if rogue is on warrior.

i lost ~120 rating to paladin warrior last night =[

we do it a different way
we keep switching between de pala and the warrior
and always cyclone the other one so if we go on the warrior i cc the pala
until he's immune then we switch an warrior gets ccd an he gets no life cuz he's heal immun and wo go like this all the time...
works pretty well atm..

In my experience, if your druid can last BoF the paly gives the warrior, it's easy street. If your druid can manage to survive the duration of the BoF, you have the Warrior on lock down for 10-20 secs with roots. The rogue should beat on the pally until he's forced to bubble while the druid does his best to kite the warrior as far from the paly as possible. Once the warriors BoF is spent, lock him down and run back to help your rogue interrupt and take out the paladin. A little tip that's helped me is tossing a cyclone on the paly when your rogue has him close to 20%. This allows your rogue's cooldowns to refresh and gives him a full bar of energy to lay into the paly and get him down. Don't be afraid to use cyclone as an offensive weapon. ~.O Again, the first 15 secs of this fight are usually the most intense. GL!

when your rogue is on the paladin and your far away from them with the warrior on you, its just like a 1on1 situation in durotar - where you always should be able to win - not saying you'll kill the warrior :3. the key is to hot yourself with 3x lifebloom and a reju then go bearform - enrage and FR. throw a demo roar also, and you can outlast the dps from the warrior untill the bof and joj waeres off. then just root the warrior and run away - drink up (try not to cross the paladins path as he might be able to keep you in combat).

sorry for any spelling errors / bad english :)

ive found the best way my team kills a pally/war team is focus on the pally and keep the warrior rooted, and Cycloned, so he gets minimal rage. the second he jumps on me i evasion and Ghostly strike, making sure MS is off of me. I just stay on the pally until he bubbles, blind the warrior, and go back to stealth. pop back on the pally after bubble, and then back to ER and Cycloning the warrior.

Only matches we have lost by sticking on the pally, was when the pally and warrior were s3/4, vs our s1/s2/s3. We CC the fuck out of the warrior through ER, Cyc, and Blinds, And i start off the CC with a sap soon as i can. Stick on the pally, and he cant get away. Save KS for freedom, when KS is down, gouge, and wait. If he keeps cleanse spamming to remove cripp, keep shivin, and keep dealing the damage. Shock has a CD, and really isnt that big unless it crits, so he has to stop to heal eventually. and if the warrior is properly CC'd, he cant get to the pally to be cleansed, so the pally will be out in the open to get to him.If needed, blind, get back in stealth, and Garrote him. 2 more seconds of no healing and cleasing. The Matches last a long time, but if your druid can CC the warrior good, he can go drink.

Never lost by staying on the pally, keep up Imp Expose armor at all times with shiv crippling on both targs. Try seperate both targs, then once the pally is 35%~ hp, interrupt every single fucking heal, and feel free to pop BLB or BC and boom headshot
