 | Priest/Rogue | VS. |   | Paladin/Warrior |
This can go either way, although the Paladin/Warrior have an advantage. Start on the Warrior and Mind Blast/Shadow Word: Death. Let the Warrior Intercept you to bring him out of line of sight of the Pally, Dispel Freedom whenever it is put up. Once again you need to be aggressive on the Pally using Mana Burns and Fears. Keep HoTs on your Rogue and make sure 5 Wounding is always up (either use Wounding on your Off Hand or Main Hand, or have 2 Off Hand weapons with Wounding so you can put your Crippling Off Hand back on when 5 wounding is up immediately).
I think at the beginning you might want to try focusing the Pally after Freedom is given to the Warrior, Sprint or Shadowstep to the Pally and try to stun him so Priest can get free Mana Burns and you aren't feeding the Warrior rage. Once the Pally uses Freedom on himself switch to the Warrior again and have your Priest LOS to drink and heal up. Continue a cycle of Mana Burns and Fears and use Blind on the Warrior if you have to. A good Paladin/Warrior team can be really troublesome if the Pally is good at LOSing Mana Burn. If this is the case it would be good to start on the Pally. If the Pally uses Bubble/Trinket you can even try killing him if you feel you can do enough damage to him.

| There's this one good warrior/paladin team that's just beating us silly and stealing all our points. The warrior is just doing INSANE damage even if we're on the pally. | |

| If the warrior is taking a crap on the rogue he needs to do his best just stunlocking\gouging\whatever. The priest should be free to mana burn the pally if the warrior is on the rogue, if the pally is pillar humping and your priest can't get a mana burn because if he fears the pally the warrior helps him out then you will most likely lose. You have to try your best to bring the warrior out of sight and stunning him, the more you bring the pally out into sight the better chance you have. But try stun locking the pally and getting free mana burns, this will probably make the warrior switch to your priest. | |

| Honestly, it doesn't matter who the Warrior is on for us, both suck for us. If the Warrior's on me, I can't Mana Burn the Pally, cause either it'll get pummeled, or if I juke it, I have Hamstring on me anyways, so the Pally will just LoS til Pummel is off cooldown. If the Warrior's on the Rogue, I have to spend time healing, and the Pally can generally LoS Mana Burns during the rare occasions that I can stop healing. | |

| my 2's atm is low cause i was messing around with double rogue... but at 1900 ish we ran into a bunch of these teams. Rogue got on the pally, keep mind/ cripple/ wound(5) on him at all time... just shivving, switch OH, kick, shiv, SnD, KS (when heal) gouge (when heal)... repeat... mean time, have the priest walk the warrior away and solo him. Most times the pally is trying to heal and let the warrior get to low... once the warrior starts running back cause he needs heals, get rdy for the wings... be fast on the MD and blind the pally, he is going to trinket, give him the fear (priest CAN NOT fear the warrior once warrior is 55% or lower)... warrior should be down in no time. make sure the rogue does not use all his energy... its not like he is trying to kill the pally, just keep him busy (but if the pally is soft go ahead and go for the pally and have the priest come over rdy for the MD). As soon as the warrior comes over you will have plenty of energy to nuke him down. Also, save the ShSt for the final nuke on warrior when under 15% 5pt finisher This assuming your D priest can solo or at least get the warrior to 40%... most rogues can nuke the warrior down once to this pt. 20% bonus+ 20% bonus +1100 armor pen = one dead warrior Hope this helps | |

| If the warrior is on the rogue, have the rogue tank the warrior in a corner or the starting area and the priest stands 25yards away rdy to MB the pally... BEM- have the rogue tank in the starting area.. open on him and walk backwards... remember to GS to help tank vs Eva... vanish and CS the warrior threw timed bleeds for more tanking the warrior. DO NOT BLEED... if need be the blind can be used and have the priest ready to fear when it is trinketed. Nagrand- rogue tanks again in starting area, priest standing 25 yards ish straight in front of the area... pally needs to go in the open to heal the warrior if the rogue stands all the way in the back. Death undercity gay map- tank the warrior near where the eyes pop, priest stands on top of crypt in the middle. MB away! | |

| ok so me and my new rogue partner hit over 1900 today, it seems we do great vs any other setup that doesnt have a warrior in it, if the warrior is on me its pretty much a loss. Rogue opens on warrior, gets him to around 60% i fear the pally, then proceed to MB/smite/SW:D, the pally usually trinkets fear so my rogue blinds him and usually the warrior is down before the pally can bubble and get a heal off, but today we went vs the same team too many times in a row and we are now 1730 ish. for some reason i've always had problems vs warriors, many priests say "o warriors are so easy" but they always 1 shot my shields making them useless, i try to time fears at the right times and chastise them to get some ground but it seems like they just blow me up, any tips? | |

| For priest rogue this team is all about positioning, drag the warrior Los of pally and make him compromise positioning, blind early, stay on warrior and control him hard MAKE SURE YOU EVASION WHEN HE GOES DEFENSIVE TO DISARM and stun when your priest needs it... if you’re fighting a dwarf make sure you stun lock his stone form. Keep up psns as best as possible I suggest keeping crip OH incase of a lucky cleanse from pally so to compromise to make sure wounds stay up throw up low ranks of SnD whenever you can. Also priests baiting pummels with heals when the priest/rogue are 65% + hp so he can spam mana burns helps ALOT. Warrior kill will most likely come when your blind comes back up you blind pal to sap to fear. My priest and I have not lost to even the top war/pals in our battle group using these tactics. Priests should help blow up warriors when the healer is cc'd also. (Currently 2401 rating) | |

| "compromise to make sure wounds stay up throw up low ranks of SnD whenever you can." *******compensate for not having wound OH, throw up low ranks of SnD to help stay ahead on psns. | |

| come on guyz u can easly say that playing a rogue would be the hardest class... it is a art lol!!! you have to kite the war when energy is low bc your cripple is slower than his cleave just take the least amount of dmg as possible it is ok to run... but just keep him slowed... so the priest has free rain on pally | |

| You gotta be kidding me, why the heck would you attack the Warrior first? Paladins have no HoTs, all their heals require casting times. If you attack the Warrior the damn pally would keep him healed forever because their heals cost almost nothing and yet it would take about a couple dozen burns to bring them down to 0, all the while the Warrior is pummeling you/mace stunning making it very difficult to get any effective mana burning. Simply have the Rogue on the Pally. Make good use of kick/cheapshot/kidneyshot/blind/gouge/mind-numbing poison/fear/shadowfiend/etc to keep him from casting jack shit and he'll die without casting a single heal off, all the while keeping yourself and the Rogue bubbled so the Warrior isn't getting much rage. | |

| Lason...i run a disc/rogue combo on my alt. Generally when the warrior is beating on me(priest) I keep up all the basics defenses but when MS is about to wear off I bubble and start casting Mind Control...either the warrior pummels or lets me MC him...either way is great. He pummels I can land a full greater heal and flash heal without interruption...if he lets me MC...well..he can't let you MC or you just win generally lol | |

| This is a really easy combo on Blades edge arena at least.. Just stay on the bridge and MC the warrior down and drink and heal up and do this over and over, while your rogue is on the pally, taking him down slowly, if the paladin comes up on the bridge and tryed to dispell the mind control, have your rogue to stun lock him, blind him, or tell your rogue to stop attacking and pop a fear, and just keep doing this until the Paladins mana is out and hes dead.. also, if you get the oportunity, try to mana burn the paladin, but only if you have enough health and mana to do so. | |

| @ Chromax, do you really think a warrior is just gonna sit there and get MC'd. He can LoS it, Intercept it, or pummel you. | |
| HealingProof | Jul 23, 2008 - 7:48 PM (HideShow) |
| @ Gabbit, lol? LoS it, it makes no sence, he cant make any dps while LoSing, thats just stupid, it lets priests HoT run without any dps made, and the other ones are the point! if he pummel or intercept, the priest gets a free greater heal, very mana saving, a greate life ensurance! | |

| We tried Outie's strat, tanking the war in a corner. Priest gotta prevent the pal from healing, using MB/Fear, when bubble off, Blinds / sap => KILL. That worked very well. If the War go for my priest, i go for the Pal, leting my priest kill the war. Rogue/Priest is an awsome "arcade" compo. | |
 Peeka | Aug 22, 2008 - 12:07 AM (HideShow) |
| If the warrior jumps our rogue, our priest MCs him. If the warrior jumps on the priest, the priest just does his best to kite him with a few well-timed blinds and fears. Either way, it comes down to a race. Who can kill faster? Will the warrior kill our priest first? Or will the rogue kill the paladin first? Who's the better kiter/interrupter/healer/manapool? | |
