Kill Rogue then Priest. Not too bad of a fight. A well played team will do what they can to keep you crippled while the Priest runs away. The best thing I've found to do is to go on the Rogue and switch to sword and shield if they are focusing on you. You will actually out-damage the rogue with your 1 Hander equipped and mitigate more of his damage with the shield. Just remember to keep Piercing Howl up so he can't get away, Demo-Shout, Thunder Clap while in Defensive Stance, and make sure Mortal Strike never falls off. Once the Rogue's cooldowns are used and the Priest is running out of mana...switch back to your 2 Hander (provided you have the HP to do so) and finish the Rogue. The Druid should watch out for mana burns and Line of Sight the Priest as much as possible. Against more a less skilled team, you can get away with killing the Priest in the first minute or two of the fight.(Provided your Druid is shifty enough to get away from the Rogue...then this is a joke of a fight.)

| I'm a Warrior, and I don't kill the Rogue first. Cheat Death wins too many matches for them, so I make it a non-issue by removing the healer first. I use Swords and still have little problems killing Priests, though I can see how Mace stuns could be situationally helpful when the Priest is humping the pillar. The Rogue may force your Druid to flee for a while, but eventually Rogue will be forced to peel you off his Priest. I Deathwish early to force them to play defensively. If you communicate early about how much damage you are taking, your Druid can get in and out of range of the Rogue's blind to drop roots/cyclone/HoTs. Over all else save trinkets for the blind and keep the Druid away from the Priest, and this fight is fairly cookie-cutter. | |

| Bad idea to let the priest to have a free for all... I am a rogue and I will kill warriors when i have prep up (MS does not get on, or if it does it is off b4 i am hit with it again) Letting the druid get MB by my priest is the worst thing to happen for them... Every time we have this fight, I get on the warrior, my priest gets on the druid. If the druid goes bear... he just runs around healing me... as soon as he pops out the druid gets MB, feared, MB, MB, MB. Normally the druid goes back into bear and the warrior dies... the worst thing to counter my team is if the warrior goes on my priest.. I have to go to the druid and play the games!... (if the rogue does go to the warrior, druid cleans the poisons and pops full HOTS on him, then drinks... ) most cases a good warrior will take out a D-priest b4 a rogue can take out a druid. I think this How-To was posted from the old patch | |

| Rogue is a good choice if you have a mace. If not i'd say go for priest. Mace stuns make the rogue's life trivial though. | |

| what kind of rogues can't outdps a warrior in defensive with s/b ?? Go for the rogue with 2h, cyclone the priest and he will get too far behind on healing to go for manaburns. Cyclone rogue when priest is immune :-) | |

| I always found it better to have the rogue CC'ed and just kill the Priest. It can be a bit harder, but going on the rogue with his amount of CDs and survability, and with the priest running around free to manaburn/fear, there is always a chance they get some luck and get a fear, and you're dead when that happens. | |

| this is a really easy fight for the warrior/druid. Just get on the rogue, he should be trying to kill the warrior so he is feeding you rage and enrages. After dr on cyclone on the priest to rogue needs heals so the priest can't mana burn. At that point its just a healing battle that the priest will lose. Plate > Leather. | |

| @ Outie, have the druid just full out and abolish poisen sounds good in theory until u face a smart priest (most priests) who will just spam dispell on the warrior, which means he isn't getting healed and crippling isn't getting abolished. And I realize that putting enough damage on the priest will keep him from dispelling and keep him trying to heal but if he starts out w/ spam dispelling, it's very hard to catch up with him. | |

| I usually stick to the strat of attack the priest if the rogues on me, attack the rogue if its on my druid partner...on occasion if the priest isnt to great at fake casting, i can pop deathwish and burn in quick, otherwise killing the rogue is best | |

| This is a no brainer, Warrior on rogue, if he evasions or they try to focus you sword and board defensive stance. if the warrior sees the priest going for a fear, you hamstring him. keeping howl on them both allows your druid to go nuts with Cyclone and hots and regrowths and drinks. This team is a hard counter to priest/rogue, just keep them both slowed and you will easily win the mana race. A rogue with no evasion is like candy to a warrior. | |

| Well my 2v2 just fell badly from 1700 :( I would Nuke the Priest AWALYS. Im not Gonna get the rogue down with the priest bubbling and easy healing! Usually the rogue goes on druid I then bloodrage charge and death wish get 5 sunders up and nuke the priest. Rogue then has to come and blind me which i trinket and then druid can fully heal. Some times rogue nukes me and that can be abit scary bcos of mindblast and stuff but still nuke on the priest. Easy fight rly. | |

| My team has always found it effective to put as much pressure on the priest as possible while i am kiting the rogue, if the rogue is not human, we force him onto the warrior to give my warrior rage, this usually gives my warrior enough rage to rip the priest apart. | |

| I normally play druid in this matchup and it's quite simple, we haven't lost to a rogue/priest in a long time. Basically my warrior stick on the rogue and dance around the fight in cat form avoiding the priest, who is headed in my direction trying to fear me. Prior to the removal of rocket-boots Xtreme, it was posible to catch me. Not anymore. Eventually the priest has to run back to heal the rogue, allowing me to get off straight casts on my warrior. I don't really bother with cc except maybe faerie fire on the rogue to keep him from slipping away too easy. If I say "help" on vent - my warrior knows what I want. I need him to charge the priest because the rogue has caught me and is trying to keep me pinned down untilt he priest can arrive and fear me. This is really the only thing that will kill us. If the rogue can pin me down long enough for the priest to come up and fear, I'm left with a pretty bad decision as they both dps my warrior. I can trinket hte fear and catch a blind-sap-fear, or I can wait until the fear is over and hope the rogue didn't SS and sap-fear-blind-sap-fear People will say this is an unfair fight, but I won't say that. I'll say it's one-sided if the other team knows what they are doing, but even then, opportunities like this one exist | |

| easiest way i've found in beating this team is going for the rogue and keeping BOTH THE PRIEST AND THE ROGUE SNARED AT ALL TIMES. you druid should maintain distance against the priest as best as he can due to the fact that a fear could easily cost you the match. try to interrupt the priest's casts as often as you get the chance to and never overlook the opportunity to use sweeping strikes to your advantage. save your trinket for the rogue's blind and collect your points. | |
