Frost Mage/Destruction Warlock

VS.

Mage/Warlock

Updated 4/1/2009

Well, mirrors are always fun, but it's time to get rid of the Succubus and bring in the Felhunter. The goal in this match-up is going to be controlling the opposing Warlock while killing the Mage. We save both our Spell Locks for the Warlocks cast, fire or shadow tree, and rotate Polymorphs/Fears on him. The reason you want the Felhunter out is to Devour off CC placed on yourself, as they probably will have the same strategy in mind.

If the mirror you run into is using a Succubus instead of the Felhunter, you can always silence her Seduce channel to save yourself using Will of the Forsaken/PvP trinket.

Mage PoV:
You will want to coordinate Silences on the Warlock. Have your Warlock use his Silence first so that if the Mage starts casting a Frostbolt you can Counterspell it and kill him before he can Ice Block. Other than that just keep CC up on the Warlock and kill the Mage.

You made a mistake, you cant seduce with a Felpup :) Just wanted to point that out since I'm loving your guide bigtime :) it's just fun to read because it's different from DK/[Insert anything here, even your dick].

Oops, should have written Fears. Thanks - I'll fix that in the next revision.

This could become more in depth if the comp rises in popularity. It's kind of bare right now because I've seen it once in over 1000 games.

I dont really agree with this tactic , from mirrors ive met killing the warlock was better due to mages being able to absorb alot of damage and just go immune to some with ice block. Where even know the lock has nether protection he has to eat all the damage still. we would rotate silences on frostbolt/polymorph

Late response but I just happened to be bored enough to check in but I wrote this when nether protection was 60% and Destruction damage wasn't out of control.

You would be better off killing the lock.
