Frost Mage/Destruction Warlock

VS.

Druid/Warrior

There are a few ways to approach this fight, but it really should not be too difficult either way. The opener will be the same regardless, you'll want to land a Polymorph on the Warrior and open up on him the same way you would anyone. The tighter you and the Mage time their damage to hit the better of course.

From here however there's two courses of action. You are dealing with a warrior that has a healer that can't dispel. From that initial burst it is quite likely that the Druid has burned his Nature's Swiftness. You can either continue to nuke the warrior and CC the Druid as you would in previous strats (the second he pops out Seduce or Banish, depending on his form). Or you can continue to CC the Warrior, and switch to the Druid. You will only get the Druid kill if you time your lock down abilities correctly/efficiently.

If that isn't working for you, you have room for mistake. You probably at the very least burned his trinket, on top of Nature's Swiftness from before and can then switch back to the Warrior.

Mage PoV:

Nothing special, start off with a Sheep on the Warrior to allow you and Warlock to get off some nicely timed burst, continue to nuke the Warrior, Counterspell/Deep Freeze the Druid if needed.

PROBLEM: what do you do when the druid LoS's every single seduction/banish.

shadowfury/banish or fear/seduce shouldn't be that hard. or deepfreeze from mage/seduce warri, switch on druid

Me and my lock go hard on warrior at start, if he isnt dead by then we stay on warrior till druid goes into a decent spot to be feared or frozen, once he is feared/frozen we blow him up, generally most druids will have blown NS by then at the start because of the insane damage put out on the warrior.

Played well, with the druid LOS its one of the most ridiculously hard fights we have come across. Infact most teams with a druid can be extremely tough. Its all very well saying counter spell/banish them, but its highly situational. What about in ruins of lorderan where the druid is hugging the coffin in the middle. Has anyone else experienced the insane LOS healing bonnaza around that?

^ Granted my mage and I are still getting the hang of this comp, druid/dk is a nightmare for us. The dk peels me from the druid and facerolls and the drood pillar humps like there's no tomorrow so I can't fear or banish. Very annoying.

oops I meant warrior/druid although dk/druid is in the same boat ><

I love getting Warrior/Druid. Probably one of the easiest comps for us to beat.
