This match basically follows the same strategy as the Druid/Hunter team except, this time have your Rogue start on the Priest and then your Priest should spam Mana Burn on the Hunter. If the Rogue started on the Hunter their Priest would be free to Mana Burn you. So either start on the Hunter to get Poisons up and switch to the Priest or just start on the Priest.
Once the Hunter is OOM you can either switch to him and make the Priest heal a lot, or you can continue on the Priest after the DPS threat is eliminated and you can get free Mana Burns on the Priest. I would try both strategies and see which one works best for you. Both of them are good and switching targets has an advantage (Hunters can drink to get Mana back as well so be aware of this, especially Night Elf ones). Kill the pet if you have a good opportunity to do so but just make sure to equip your MP5 weapons (if you have any) and go Mana Burn crazy on both of them. If one of the two classes is Dwarf, I'd recommend focusing on the non-Dwarf since Stoneform with a trap can really put a kink in your strategy. If you do decide to focus the Priest, put on Mind Numbing poison up occasionally.

| I've played this combo a few times and it's very different for me as the rogue than when we face druid/hunter. I sit on the priest the whole game because even w/ the hunter's support the priest can't keep himself alive long enough and my priest is good enough to stay about 5k mana. I usually shiv a crippling on the hunter or the hunter's pet occassionally if my priest MUST drink. Other than that we start off me sapping the hunter. (even w/ flare, SS --> Sap will still go off) My priest fully dispels the hunter and begins the burn, by this time I am on the priest and swinging away, I'll usually force the hunter to help his priest which just leads to more mana burns. It can get ugly if the priest gets away, but even then you can swap mana burns to the priest and A) dps the pet to force the priest to show himself to heal or B) Dps the OOM hunter and force the priest to heal. Either way, the priest is going to have to heal and he'll get burnt. Just make sure you get a good start. You don't want the mana burns going the other way. | |

| I found rogue sitting on the priest for the whole fight works really good, you are free to dispel fears and traps, and the hunter can be feared and blinded so their priest will go down much faster. Just dispel the priest, give him a sw:p and hes gonna die really quick, before viper drains you dry. | |

| i dont really get how you burn the hunter effectivly at the start, if the rouge is on the priest..because the hunter will usually focus me and with the pet on me as well its really hard to get mana burns off...even with PI? But leaving alone the priest sucks as well..cuz as u said...free mana burns.. | |

| I have a different way of beating them, what we do is wait out the flare so my rogue can get a sap on the priest, then while the priest is sapped my rogue opens on the hunter while I'm dispeling fearward off the priest, when sap has 0.1 seconds left I fear the priest, forcing him to trinket or the hunter dies, when he trinkets, its Blind then gg. | |

| Viper is going to get hit on you, so just expect it and live with it. Rogue ussually runs in and starts the stun lock on the priest. in that time i completely dispell the priest and los the burns when he comes out. I like to dispell hard at the start of the fight since 1.) it removes their fear ward. 2.) removes all their other stuff you have less chance of your dispells removing a buff instead of a shield or other heal later on. I ussually fear right after the ward is dispelled and hes out of stun lock to force the priests trinket - if hunter gets feared too even better. After that I go defensive and watch for the burns and always come out quickly to throw instant shield, pom, renew on your rogue and agressively dispell the priest to get his shields and renews off. a disc priests life line is his instants and being able to survive through them. fear when it is good to do so, however, los > fears in this fight imo. We lost our first fight against this set up because I (priest) was in the fight too much trying to fear, and mana burn etc. and I was drained really quick not able to get a burn off with hunter pet on me and priest draining me, scatter shots, fears etc. and we couldnt recover. As long as you have some mana, your instants should be enough to keep your rogue up until the priest is dead. Also, use your fiend on the priest after he blows a fear bomb - instant, you'll need the mana early and does help dps the priest down that much faster. you shouldnt be targeted for dps, so you should have the hp to always throw your sw:d on the priest for burst 1k dmg to help your rogue out. Viper is a pain, but it will take a while for just viper to drain a decently geared disc priest - just make sure thats the only thing draining you... | |

| I really don't understand how any start works. We faced almost full PvE hunter/priest this morning and lost 8 out of 10. We go on the priest and attempt to burn huntard but he gets silencing shots off on me, then a viper sting, then feign death then pet is on me then hides so it's almost impossible to burn him. My rogue is on the priest but the hunter keeps frost trap around where the priest is and keeps wing clip on the rogue. Some how, even tho I LOS the huntard, he can still get his viper stings on me while my rogue is attempting to kill the priest..but keeps getting kited and kited and kited and kited. We tried CCing the hunter but my fear gets dispelled by the priest, then we blind, but then he trinkets.. We tried CCing the priest but she was undead so fear was just WOTF. This is kite crazy, cant kill anything..we try going on the hunter, the priest burns me and helps DPS the rogue...hunter easily gets away due to improved frost trap and wing clip..then concussive shot is imp'ed.. this fight just seems impossible.. specially in the Lordaeron arena with the damn tomb in the middle...What are we doing wrong? I'm LOSing the best I can!..fight is usually dragged out but the viper sting eats all my mana.. GRR they took over 100 points..! | |
