 | Priest/Rogue | VS. |   | Druid/Warlock |
This fight can be very tough or easy, depending on the quality of the CC that the Druid\Warlock team can put out. I recommend having 3 weapons, the reason for this is to have Wounding on your Main Hand, Crippling on your Off Hand and Mind Numbing on your 2nd Off Hand so all 3 Poisons are up. Save your Fear for when the Druid Bashes or Cyclones the Rogue so the Lock doesn't get too far, or Fear the Druid when he is healing and try to sneak in some Mana Burns while he's in caster(you will probably have Tongues on you and get Silenced but the Rogue has a while to do damage to the Warlock). Spam Dispel the Warlock of his Fel Armor, call out Fears you cannot Interrupt, and keep Mending Bouncing between you and your Rogue.
If the Druid and Warlock have insane CC, chances are you will lose (unless you are Shadowstep and even then its still hard). Just remember to be aggressive on the Druid, Fear him whenever possible, Dispel the Rogue and keep a Renew on him and conserve your Mana!. If you see that the pet is low, Fear the Druid and then have your Rogue switch to the pet, spam Dispel on the Rogue to get rid of any Fears that might come and if you manage to kill the pet spam Dispel on the Warlock so you can have a chance at dispelling his Fel Domination.

| Also, when you kill the pet for the first time, if your Rogue is still on the Warlock, then have him switch in his Mind-Numbing offhand so that the Fel Dom Summon takes a bit longer, giving your Rogue a chance to stun the Lock to interrupt it. This gives you just a bit more time to dispel that Fel Dom. | |

| if you get on pet won't you just get cc owned by the druid and the warlock? what if we just sit on the warlock, effectively shutting it down? i can negate most of the warlock's dps by bouncing proms and shielding/renewing, which means by dispels on the lock i can almost outlast the druid and chase it to prevent drinking, right? | |

| Disaster the thing is that if the druid and warlock time the CC very well they will keep the rogue CCed a long long time with 3xcyclone+3x fears on the rogue (while 3x cyclones on you so you can't dispel) and while the rogue is CCed you get drained and when he's getting feared the rogue is getting pounded hard. At least that's the way i play it with my Druid friend. But if the Priest and rogues get some aggressive CC in there they can put us behind and then we get owned | |

| Playing good rogue/priests has led me to believe this can be won very quickly with well-coordinated CC between the rogue and priest. Once the druid has trinketed something (fear, kidney, w/e), you set yourself up for a rotation. When DRs on fear are low on the rogue, your priest fears the druid. The fear is followed with a blind, then a vanish-sap, then another fear, then a mind control. In that time I die all the time. Even if I don't die, it puts huge healing pressure on my druid and often the priest can get a few burns in or assist in the DPS while the druid is in the CClock before the MC. | |

| Fel Dom, like Mass Dispel, is kickable even on less-than-godly latencies. You know that within a couple seconds of the pet dying the lock will use his feldom. He will probably stop moving an instant before he casts it. As soon as you feel that he is about to begin casting, kick. More often than not I interrupt Fel Dom and Mass Dispel because they are so predictable | |

| I see alot of priests are saying pray of mending as their main heal which if the druid warlock isn't the best you can sit on the warlock and not even need mana but most warlocks will stop their dots on the rogue and just focus on the priest if he is just using pom, i think worst thing at least for my druid n me is when rogue rapes me which is very easly accomplish and the priests chases my druid in circles until my druid cries. One pivatle thing in the fight is to make sure you are kicking the fears even with warlock fear bating an doing everthing he can, after a point most warlock would give up trying to fear to do something else. | |

| priest has to harass the druid so he can never drink. this is hard in blade's edge but manageable. | |

| My Priest and I are having a very hard time against Lock/Druid. I'm told that we're basically retarded that we have trouble with Lock/Druid and should be able to destroy them. If so, then what's the strat? | |

| Switching to the pet and killing it at the right time is what will win matches. Once 2nd pet is down you win. Just keep pressuring the lock. POM on rogue will keep him up well over 5 seconds, giving you enough time to get a small drink. The druid must heal the lock, if he risks preventing you from drinking then the lock will get very low very fast potentially dieing from a simple swd or another white swing. Stay on the lock until you feel the pet is low enough (or the druid's feared and your blind is up) a switch and kill. When your death coiled call out for an early dispell on fear. If you get cycloned trinket it if your near something to LOS with, if not, use vanish on 2nd clone and pop your cds early and effectively to avoid cc. Being on a lock for even 10 extra seconds of dps on a target can mean the difference between their druid and your priest going oom first. -Blind on the first cyclone to force a trinket on the druid early. NEVER BLIND THE LOCK. If you do then your playing defensive (you already lost then) or you fucking up big time. In the rare case he doesn't trinket, clos vanish sap him, make him panic and trinket, you should've been able to blind him in human form since he was casting cyclone. -More likely than not though the druid WILL trinket. You now will be able to indirectly control the druid. Since if the druid sees a priest running towards him a fear is expected and so the druid runs away. -Use focus frames to see if a cyclone is incoming. Shadowstep kicking the druid's cyclone will make you a baller, keep at least one point on the lock so that you can deadly throw his fear if he sees that you wasted kick on the druid. -Always save energy. The time you should hemo is after you go over 50 or so energy. This is because a good warlock once free from crippling poison WILL COE YOU AND TRY TO KITE. The abolish poison will eventually get to crip and even if you re ss him and shiv him, chances are he will try to coe kite you again once crip is re- abolished. Save energy to re-apply shiv cri | |

| *Since I can't edit posts* A mistake on my previous post. It should say, "once the feldomed pet is dead you win" In the case that you kill the pet while another pet is being summoned.... the match could last a while.... Kill the pet subtely not directly. Let it get low from damage from the rogue and have the rogue switch and kill it. Pop prep, ss the lock once the first pet dies, and kick his resummoning if you have to, force the feldom however possible! | |

| I play a lock, and I have NEVER beaten a rogue/priest team. Me and my resto druid partner have come close many times, but something always went wrong, like a resisted deathcoil or a series of crits. I am still at 1652 in my 2s, but let me help out your moral against druid/lock teams. Go to the strats for druid/lock against priest/rogue. You are our counter. You can dispel HoTs and dots, and mana should be a problem since u CAN dispel mana drain. They key is to save your rogue's cooldowns. What usually happens is, priest fears, druid trinkets, 30 seconds later priest fears again and now he cant trinket. At this time, Rogue pops CoS, sprint (so i cant kite at all), and they do this when rogue is at 100 energy and 5 combo points waiting to be used. Sinister Strike Sinister Strike, priest usually comes out as well to do a few smites and a mind blast. When i am at around 40%, he pops eviscerate. I am now at 20% ish, a few seconds left of fear and if im unlucky, my healer is on the other side of the map. By the time he gets in range again im dead and its easy from there. | |

| Note that at least i am smart, if u go for my pet i run out of LoS and start doing a regular cast for my void, when my pet is around half health. When my pet is low/dead, another one is already back up without using my FD cd. I recommend just dpsing me and manaburning my healer when u can. why am i helping u guys... | |

| Hmm my problem is, that the Fellhound sticks to my priest and he will be silenced quite frequently then. In addition all buffs are eaten, meaning the Prayer of mending is dispelled as soon as its on the priest. In addition the fellhound won't get damage like this so switching when its at low health isn't as easy as it sounds. Following the druid is possible like this but manaburning him with the pet on the priest is not. Just focussing the pet somehow doesn't work either. I mean that thing has 6k+ life, gets healed by the wl and the wl and the druid can heal it. | |

| here's what we do -Start on warlock -fear druid as soon as he comes out as to get him to trink...if he doesnt ,burn his face off..if he does trink, blind him then vanish/sap -use PoM since the lock will put dots on both of you..this helps conserve mana..by a lot -fear druid again when hes out, dispell any hots on the lock -while druid is feared, burn him some more, he'll eventually go oom and use is intervate..dispell that asap and stay on him with fears (and silences if you're BE) -keep dispelling hots off of the warlock...when the lock is low, SW:D and MB him, if he isnt dead by now, go burn the druid some more to get him to switch forms or to actually burn him then fear him again and it should be GG | |
