You don't meet many of these teams anymore. It's pretty easy to just dot them both up and spam searing pain / drain life on the shadow priest. Keep the heavy cc on the warlock and they won't be able to burst you down. If they go for your druid, just spam cc on both of them and they shouldn't be able to kill him. Drain mana on the spriest is also very effective due to their limited mana pool.

| It's blatently apparent that by your strat here, that you honestly just dont have an answer for this team. Explain to me what's easy about putting WARLOCK DOTS on ANOTHER WARLOCK and a SHADOW priest gg with the lil-tikes DPS. Keep heavy cc on the warlock? Is that before or after the priest rushes you to drop fear, you get death coiled, refeared, and silenced. Spriest/Lock destroys druid lock. Getting this combination is almost as bad as getting double rogue. If you hang back to wait to heal your lock, they'll wait too, and when you pop out to heal you get chain feared and FULL DOTS from both the Spriest and Warlock, then you get feared AGAIN. And when you try to heal yourself, there comes the silence - or the mind blast GG. You really do NOT want to see this combo. And contrary to the author's opinion, yes you do see this combo. To attempt to offer a strategy isnt really helpful because there really isnt one, no matter what position you take their team can instantly shift leverage due to priest fear, spell lock, death coil, howl of terror, and lock fear. Druid appears, druid dies. | |

| Keep out of range of both of them as a druid. We faced a setup like this at 2.1k and beat them, even on lordaeron while they controlled mid and i had nothing to LoS around. Have your druid ALWAYS keep full HoTs on himself and have the warlock dot up both and mainly fear the spriest as he is doing the most damage. I think we would've destroyed them on any other map but managed to beat them there anyway so in no way is this team impossible to beat. | |

| My druid usally stay stealth while i pop trinket,blood fury and dots everything, we usually have both of them at half health quick and my druid wont show until im 50% hp, then i go my healthstone as emergency. A few cyclones on warlock is usually enough to win this, spam fears as per and keep lock fully dotted (but with Tongues). Usually depends on how well the team coordinate their silence, spellock. It can get rough. | |

| Keep full hots on yourself at all times heal as if at any second you could get blackout -> fear -> silence -> spell locked because even an instant can give them an opening for a game-ending CC chain. LOS like crazy, don't get feared. | |

| What i normally do as the druid is stay in stealth as long as i can, just as im about to come out of stealth i pounce on the spriest to give me abit of time to hot myself up then dodge los and CC what i can, fairly easy setup. | |

| staying stealth is a terrible idea, pouncing anyone is a terrible idea, come out early and keep you and your warlock at full HP always. good team will kill your warlock by dispelling HOTs and Silence > spell lock combo. if you keep 3x of lifebloom and rejuvenation at all times they should be unable to burst. save NS to catch up after silencs. Druid should just spend their mana like crazy, LIKE CRAZY. most fight vs good team i'm down to like 10% mana after innervate. | |

| all u guys say is cool.. but there's a problem that u might consider.. Mana Burn.. Most Shadow Priest dont focus on silence u.. instead they Mana Burn u like hell while the lock fear spam. What do u do in that situation.. ? shift to bear form constantly.? | |

| put felhunter and dot in lock, and stay in priest all time, fear, dots + tongues if u druid is runnig in fear, have a macro to dispel him, priest cant cast in u druid, the lock cant kill u druid if u focus u cc in spriest and dotting the lock usually fear lock too, its help u druid, but ur focus is the spriest its only works with me and my druid | |

| If you legitamately lose to Shadow Priest/Warlock as Druid/Warlock, you should have your account taken away. It's impossible for them to kill your Warlock with Fel Armor and Soul Link through a Druid's heals, even if he is chain CC'd. They are forced to kill the Druid, which can work sometimes if they're bad. All you have to do to prevent this is have your Druid pillar kite while your Warlock uses Spell Lock, Death Coil, and Fear on both the Priest and the Warlock. Focus the Priest. The Warlock will try to Fear the Druid or Death Coil him into LoS, but he should have full HoT's up at ALL TIMES and Fears will break so early from the massive damage that the Druid can run right back out of Los. You can lose to RNG, but that's the case with any arena match. Have fun with your free points. (And yes, I'm bitter after having lost to a string of these teams with terrible players behind them) | |

| ^Our Warlock is SL/SL, not sure how much of a difference having UA and Shadowburn makes here. I could see it making the matchup at least possible though. | |

| Faced this team recently in ruins, and we faced a big problem: The rogue was human... They got a starter on my druid FAST and I barely got 2 dot up the warlock. My druid was CC'd with stuns, silence, deathcoil and a fear, all in caster form/cat form. I dotted everything up and spam feared both...Rogue trinkets, then cloaks, warlock trinkets and CoT on me -.- wtf ? what the hell can I do? my druid died within seconds and I had the warlock on 30% and the rogue on 50%... | |

| "To attempt to offer a strategy isnt really helpful because there really isnt one, no matter what position you take their team can instantly shift leverage due to priest fear, spell lock, death coil, howl of terror, and lock fear. Druid appears, druid dies" okay well about this, you say the priest fears in combination with howl of terror and the warlocks fear. These are like different types of fear, they share the same DR. AoE fears only last 7 seconds at most, so the howl of terror would only last like 4 seconds, and the last fear would be the last. Maybe youre just not that good honestly | |

| Also... Use a Spell Stone. Make sure the lock does not get off UA. If you dispel UA with your Spell Stone, GG. Just make sure you're fully dotted before you use the stone, and then switch to your wand. It's not a bad idea to make the opposing lock blow his Spell Lock early, while you're still at high HP. This way you are able to fear more easily when it matters. And yes, UA and Shadowburn are important to beat lock/druid. If a UA gets off, it gets rid of the defending lock's ability to use his Spell Stone. Thus, much more damage intake. It also gives the warlock an instant AoE fear if he is affliction. Have your druid fully HoT himself at all times. CoEx both the priest and lock if necessary, to allow your druid to get away. I find this helps tremendously at certain times. | |
