Frost Mage/Destruction Warlock

VS.

Feral Druid/Paladin

Pretty easy fight for you outside of maybe some nasty crits on the Druids part. Control the Paladin, watch out for Hand of Sacrifice on the Druid and keep your distance. You're going to want to minimize the initial damage as much as possible via Deep Freeze after pounce and/or trinketing the maim and Death Coiling the druid off you. Don't be conservative with your portals, and dump your damage into the Druid. Feral Druids don't have much caster defense abilities, so landing the kill should not prove to be too difficult.

Mage PoV:

Just stay close to your Warlock so you are able to get a Nova/Deep Freeze off on the Druid right away. He will most likely trinket the Deep Freeze so just be ready to freeze him again with your pet nova. It's a Druid, so he will be constantly shifting out of your novas. You will want to blow Cold Snap pretty early in the fight to keep up on novas. Spellstealing Freedom and Sacrifice as always.

I dont find this fight that easy....for the simple reason I die in an opener, even if i can Trinket+Portal+DC+HS. i still die.

Feral+any other healer is manageable cuz we can generally kill the feral and healer is CCd. but with a pally freedom+bubble really screw us over as its hard to outlast that. least with other healers they are doing nothing.

A Feral who opens with beserk pretty much instant gibs me.

What about when the druid sticks onto me as the mage?

i don't find this fight hard.. if the druid opens on me as the wl, i DC him away, start casting chaosbolt and land a shadowfury on him. the pally is almost always seduced, so he can hardly heal out of bubble. if the druid switchs in bear and uses last stand, i fear him and switch on the seduced/sheeped paladin who mostly doesn't have his bubble/trinket anymore. i can't remember dying in the opener with my actual eq.

The druid is impossible to kite with freedom on him, and so even if we can CC the pally, the druid kills one or the other of us really quickly.
