 | Mage/Rogue | VS. |   | Hunter/Priest |
This is similar to Priest/Warlock. Burn down the Hunter and CC the Priest. You will have to burn the Hunter down fast or the Mage will be out of mana really fast with Viper Stings. As always try to get the Shatter combo in.

| da mein englisch nicht ausreicht um das aufzuschreiben *schäm* :X also ich kann empfehlen das der mage versucht den hunter zu kiten, sollte zumindest solange klappen bis der schurke 5x das gift drauf hat. den hunter dann so gut wie möglich stunnen das der mage sheep (priester) und ne shatter durchbekommt. danach direkt blind, der hunter muss halt liegen :X | |

| Hunters are giving us alot of trouble...especially maybe cuz im mutilate so position is an added disadvantage. Any more advice vs this matchup? | |

| Yeah. well you could always forget bout mutilate and go SStep. thats how my rogue and i got the 2k. Aside that. no, the only way to beat this combo is stunning the hunter as much as u can giving the mage room to cast poly, and maybe some shatters, is the mage cant cast shatter they can always use insta cast or imp- arcane missiles... if ur CC alternation is correct. there is no way ur losing vrs this setup | |

| the priest has dispel, so no point in CC'in the hunter. have the rogue attack the priest in a sap/ cheap shot/ or blind to make the hunter go after the rogue. A committed hunter is either really good, or really open... so make sure you are around the hunter so you can slow both him and his pet down for the rogue to unleash hell on him. Mage: wait for the rogue to start attacking and stay way back. let his first 3 moves get into affect before you start your CC rotation. If things don't work out well from the start that is when you blink to the hunter and place him in his tracks with nova ( since he kites either that or freeze, but freeze is easier to cast for me.. just stop him in his tracks. Counterspell the priest and make sure you sheep him. Any free time you have you have ( when the priest is sheeped ) you should be snaring the hunter and setting up shatter combos. You can totally dominate the priest with CC's long enough and rememebr on the 3rd-sheep rememebr to cast it twice for diminishing returns to pass. If your not sheeping the priest you are slowing the hunter and his pet down. So don't forget winter's chill with Coc/ice lance along with your novas. Rogue: hurry to sap the priest and start on the hunter. Start on a HARD lock while saving some energy for gouge to restore a better stunlock. wait for him to trinket because he will be using it on one of your cheap shot/kidney shot/ or gouge. Blind him right away and restore ALL your energy. just in case CoS, Vanish and start you stunlock rotation again.. No need to bleed him, look to expose armor from the beginning and then just sliceNdice EVIs like clothies. Use ALL YOUR COOLDOWNs to get next to him and keep him locked down. Your friend ( mage ) should be snaring him in place to asist in a shatter combo and help your dps with the white damage. If he is froze in place remember to use evasion to avoid any meelee damage and HOPEFULLY some arrows while you beat away on his face like a true dps meelee. | |

| we are having a hard time against this setup. our (or at least my) gear level is poor, but we win most fights except BM hunter/healer.. When he uses beastial wrath, I usually vanish to disappear until the buff wears of, and while my teammate tries to evade, he usually goes to at least 50%.. We can't get shatter combo at the hunter because of him being immune to frost nova, and it's not possible to keep him stunned, since he just blows his trinket and instant casts the beast within.. any suggestions? ^^ (if we go for the healer, the hunter kills us in a matter of seconds) | |

| Its rly Hard to burn down the hunter. Most HUntger are BM and i cant stun them and i cant slow them so they will kite me through trhe whole arena. My Mage instead is smashed down by his fucking "rogue"-Pet while im jumping around the arena doing nothing.... :( Any advice? | |

| I came up agasint his combo today we one 3 times in a row, all i did was Sap/Preist open on hunter CS only. he poped bm instantly after the first stun finished, i vansihed and my mage friend was al ready out of site, hunter ran round for 14 sec's with bm on and no 1 to kill, after bm finished sap/ Priest again opened up on the hunter with full nuke shatter combo blowing all cool down to kill him priest tried to heal and got CS by the mage, 3 secs after that i threw a blind at the healer hunter dead win win win | |

| we are having a really hard time against this combo...Opening with sap on the priest is not an option cause there will be a flare on the ground. I read some people do open with a sap, I wonder how... shs sap? The hunter burns down the mage with an incredible speed. My mage has 442 res and he is down in less than 30 seconds. Any suggestions? | |

| the only tactic that will really work against this combo is said above, you gota try rape the hunter and cc priest, its made very hard if the priest and hunter are LoSing you round a pillar with frost trap though, if you get in a position like that you've pretty much lost | |

| we try opening a sap on the hunter if possible, sheeping the priest as quickly as possible...then shatter combo while sapped...its critical to save the nova for as long as possible, otherwise you'll get silenced. Time a cheap shot with the first shatter just in case. from there, its kinda more like rogue priest imo...just keep attkin the hunter...and heavy CC on priest. | |

| Saps on hunter will prolly be near impossible if their decent, and Good Priests either stay in flare or they are far from the hunter. If the priest is far away you should have a decent chance sap priest go for hunt, you need to coordinate stunlock w/ shatter. You can also fade and go near flare and do a shatter. | |
