Mage/Ret Paladin

VS.

Priest/Warlock

This is very close to an auto loss. Try Fearing the pet to stop the Spell Lock during your Mage's Shatter. CC the Priest, and try to Shock them and kill the Warlock. Bottom line - very, very difficult team.

ehm. first... I am rarely seing Holy priests at arena. and if you gonna get a high rating you will meet them 1-2 times. But I think they will be imbah.
second. you can't cc warlock. sheep can be dispelled. so paladin will be feared all the time.

I know that I don't have a good rating team but I am playing with lock. and we don't have troubles with this setup

tbh, this depends on the specc of the warlock. if it's a destru/affliction warlock, it should be the nuke target, as he will be taking alot of burst damage. get him to about 60% and stun followed by counterspell. priest should be sheeped at this time, and if your mage is about to shatter the warlock, you should use your repentance when the priest goes out of sheep.

i guess this guide is for SL/SL + disc priest

You're not gonna get a reliable cc on the priest with sheep with a decent lock using his pets' dispel. Best bet is to chain HoJ, Repentance, Counterspell on priest while nuking the lock.

"tbh, this depends on the specc of the warlock. if it's a destru/affliction warlock"

Your kidding right?

attention all mages, drop empowered frostbolt and pick up winter's chill. its worth it!

17/0/44 you don't cast many frostbolts in 2's anyways...maybe 2-3 a game depending on the team...so ice lancing the priest twice at the start then pollying him might save the game because the pet will eat a winter's chill off.

if the warlocks pet is feared it cant devour so sheeping the priest while the pet is feared sounds like a usuable strategy, timing would have to be perfect but thats what this comp is all about

@Coronaa- some locks run sl/ruin with a disc priest, as it is often more of a 2dps combo
