Druid/Warrior

The Dreaded Mirror. You need to be very, very on the ball with target switching, denying the other Druid drinking time while you maximize your time.

Your Warrior will be chasing their Druid as much as he can, while switching back to their Warrior whenever the other Druid is firmly planted on the other side of a pillar.

Start the fight off with the Warriors charging each other, and once they do, pop out next to a pillar, and Faerie Fire the other Warrior, and HoT your own, then drink. You'll spend some mana, but the HoTs will keep him topped off and you can drink back to full quickly. Once the other Druid pops, your Warrior needs to switch to him. The Warrior should continue to beat on the other Druid, but he needs your help. Hibernate the other Druid, Cyclone him, Feral Charge, Bash him, help your Warrior stay on the Druid.

No matter how much you help him, until the other Druid gets low on mana, he will almost always get away. So, when he does, you switch. You run after the other Druid to stop him from drinking, and your Warrior goes to his Warrior. So, do your best to ditch that other Warrior while you chase the other Druid. While you're chasing after the other Druid, hot your Warrior so you can make sure he's going be ok. Because your Warrior is beating on his Warrior, the other Warrior will usually turn on your Warrior after you get away, which is why you pre-hot him. Rank 1 Moon Fire the other Druid and Cyclone him while your Warrior is beating on his Warrior. After your Cyclone finishes, your Warrior should still be at a decent health, while the other Druid's Warrior is low. Now, run away and drink and have your Warrior put a shield on while you drink, and have your Warrior on their Druid to prevent a drink. Their Druid will be to busy trying to save his Warrior to chase after you, and you will get a drink off and be beating them in the mana war. After you finish drinking, your Warrior switches back to their Druid and the dance continues.

If you get low (50% health, your Warrior needs to come back and help you via Intervene/Disarm. If the Disarm fails, he can spam Hamstring to hopefully proc an Imp Hamstring/mace stun so you can get away.

This fight is all about switching targets. When the other Druid gets away from your Warrior, you chase after him to stop his drink, and your Warrior beats on their Warrior to force him to come back.

This fight can go extremely long on Nagrand arena because of the pillars everywhere. Be prepared.

Notes:
Catching the other Druid in a hibernate is awesome. A hibernate/Cyclone/Cyclone/Cyclone/Bash can sometimes give your warrior enough time to kill their Warrior.

total /respect for your awsomeness,

but we have won 18-0 (ithink) vs mirror matches from 1800-2100 by killing the warriror, and clever timing of CCs

Well, up until I hit 2200, we would be very successful with killing the warrior as well. From this point on however, the druids seem more on the ball with cc'ing you (the warrior), which allows their warrior to help double-team your druid. What DA described is how I've seen most top Warrior/Druid mirrors won.

Yah, the strat above works well, warr needs 2 be very smart about when 2 stop chasin the druid and switch targets, usually this fight doesn't end in 1 druid oom, usually just a long chain cc or druid not be careful enough. Fairie fire is very helpful for ur warr's dps so keep it up on the dps target at all times.

what when the druid uses shadowmeld and then drinks?

You turn to the warrior while one of you attempts to either..
A) Find the druid or
B) You BOTH turn and DPS the warrior to put as much pressure as possible to deny the other druid his drinking time.

If your druid does't have Insect Swarm (11/11/39) Then the 2nd option probably is a waste of mana.
