Druid/Warlock

VS.

Retribution Paladin/Healer

Difficulty 4/10 or 8/10

Why are there two difficulty ratings you ask?! It's simple, it depends on the Retri's skills to one shot pets. If he can one shot pets, its an uphill battle. Especially against Ret/Shaman where it's hard to summon a new pet. You can still win if they are bad but major outplaying is needed.

The goal is to either oom the healer or kill Paladin if the healer is careless(they do that a lot)

If they fail to kill pets it's easy mode. I don't see how they can beat you, same tact without trying to summon new pets all the time.You can sometimes save the pet if you have it away from you so you know when the retri is going to switch and pre rejuv and pre health funnel.

By the way i find Paladin/Priest a little more dangerous because they can oom you easier, but generally both comps have strengths and weaknesses.

And one last thing,against Ret/Shaman we managed in some games to gib the Shaman but maybe because they were bad. So you can try it. It's something like this: Full dots,Fear,Death coil,Fear,Silence(Drain soul now if he is low), Bash,dead.

I play Resto shaman ret pala and we met affli lock and resto druid yesterday. It became a 20 minute game and the thing that team did wrong was putting too little pressure up on my ret. He often didnt have any dots on him and that helped me on mana.
Also, try to drain the shamans mana as much as possible.

I played the resto shaman, ret pala yesterday. I play Destro with my druid, he doesnt have much offensive which i plan to change today. But basically, they both ran up popped bloodlust killed my pet in.... .5 seconds? lol. So, Shadowfury-> HoT -> (proc SP trinket) -> BIG crits on shaman, Dead shaman -> pally sits over in his corner bubbled thinking what just happened.

Match lasted under 20 seconds ahha. But usually i like to control the healer, make the pally bubble, switch on to the healer, switch back to the pally and the Diminishing returns should be gone on the heals by then.

try to blow pala bubble then kill him with cc chain on healer. some palas are extremely confident about them but they drop really fast. dont be afraid to mana drain to make healer want to drink so its easier to put pressure at that point on the pala

If the ret paladin kill's the warlocks pet is all you have to do is to instant summon a new pet at end he will give it up he is not willing to kill at pet 2 times = 50k health you can fear cycole and cc the paladin he won't have a chance to kill 50-65k health of your pet lol
