 | Mage/Rogue | VS. |   | Paladin/Warlock |
Fake focusing the Lock so the Pally gives Blessing of Freedom to him and Bingo! Get on the Paladin. All he can do is dispell at this point. Try Sheeping the Warlock once or twice. After those attempts just chase the Pally and force the Bubble. Because he does not have Blessing of Freedom and gets rooted by Nova. Once he bubbles the Mage should Ice Block and the Rogue should Cloak of Shadows/Vanish and wait. When his Bubble goes down you should burn down the Pally and finish off the Warlock. Make sure one of you (preferably the Rogue) gets away to heal up if needed to finish the Lock.

| if that does not work, try having the rogue on TOTAL lockdown with the warlock.. because after all the Warlock's Dots are no match for the rogue's cooldowns. Sheep the pally because he will be trying to stun the rogue to give time for the warlock. if you can't take the warlock down fast enough switch the CC rotation and durn down the pally, and throw in the famous counterspell when you see him pop a trinket out of the rogues stuns... a rogue on a pally is hard when he kicks, gouges, deadly throws, and blinds all his spell casting abilities. mage: anytime you hear a warlock stay back, real back because he will own you alone. But the rogue will own the warlock alone... so you have to really sick your pet on the main focus while you CC the other one whatever it is. Armor is not affected by your spellcasting Add dps when ever you have the chance... you will have some time to sheep because the pally is go worried about the rogue on the warlock... so remember when you sheep to get your pet out and snare the warlock in place to help the rogue out.. then stay away from his fear again. your magic has range, and this is the set up you will need it on! rogue: your stealth is your advantage on this one because they won't be able to spot you.. so RUSH ahead and get on either SIDE ( if blade arena creap the back way if they pause and have your mage come late out ), sap the pally and already cheap shot the warlock and start on YOU total LOCKdown. save some energy of course for a gouge and remember to silence him if your cheapshot/kidneyshot/vanish to cheap shot lockdown is interupted by his trinket. Don't worry too much about the pally that much because the mage is on the look out to sheep when the sap wears off or he pops his trinket. As a rogue/mage there is not reason why you shouldn't be on the warlock.. the mage can help you out because the warlock can own the mage if left alone! | |

| From the othersides Point of view (remember mages can spellsteal the Blessings off either. only danger in tis is the mana cost is fairly high and there is a good chance you will steal one of the locks buffs. the locks felpuppy will eat off the buff u steal bt the cd will still b active.) If you go for the paladin, try and cc the lock out of LoS from the paladins clenses. Once the paladins bubble is gone hes very open to dps. Be careful to not kick and cs and the same time as the paladins will most likely fake heal to draw in interupts. If you go for the lock, either spellsteal the BoSacrifice (BoS) or cc the paladin right as the buff wears off. BoS lasts 30 secs and has a 30sec cd so the easier option is to spellsteal. then the paladin has bubble + trinket then hes open to cc / interupts. In almost all of the times ive played this with my pally lock combo theyve gone for my lock and not got rid of the BoS. with made it pretty much a free win | |

| I would say that it's better to get full nuke on warlock from the begining, and poly/cs the paladin untill the paladin uses bubble, go iceblock and rogue vanish/CoS then you continue to nuke the lock and cc the pala after the bubble goes out. | |

| We sap the lock and then blow up the paladin hard trying to force an early bubble. We then reset the fight (cloak and block). From that point it's decision time. It's a case by case basis, you can either try to get a freedom on the lock and then blind + sheep the lock while your rogue goes to lock down the pally. Or you can try to blow up the lock with counterspells and blind on the pally. Either way, it takes a fight reset, you have to make that pally drop bubble early and take them by surprise. The mage should always hang back since detect invis. We start matches with me mounted until my rogue tells me the set up or nothing at which point I go invis. | |

| *Negrand is the exception, always go invis before gates open. | |

| Resetting the fight and waiting for the bubble is a pretty bad idea vs a good lock/pally | |

| Blessing of sacrafice. Nothing we can do. | |
| Zukias | Aug 25, 2008 - 3:52 PM (HideShow) |
| if youre using icycakes tactic then i find that the paladin usually gives the lock blessing of sacrafice before freedom, so if you spell stolen the sacrafice he will then give freedom, so wouldnt it just be easier to go all out on the paladin at the start and spell steal the freedom off him instead? anyway if you start trying to burn down the paly, a decent lock will spell lock your frost bolt only when the paly is stunned preventing the typical KS + shatter nuke, so if the warlock hasnt used spell lock before that point just spam ice lances instead it should still get him to bubble, then block + vanish, and repeat | |

| Almost no chance vs this setup.. U can try tho lol.. OK! A skilled pala will hammer ur polymorph on him(If u go on the lock to force bubble) then u have to blink,then comes to spell lock if u face blood elfs(Liek we always do) then comes arcane torrent then death coil(IM A GNOME) so u actually die of dots (i skip the ice block part cuz it removes only the dotz tho) meanwhile u have to try 2 spellsteal BoS which is almost impossible with Stoicism so GL ;p I just get pissed off vs this setup usually and if we win its cuz of a mistake on the pala ! Gl again ;p | |
