Priest/Rogue

VS.

Shadow Priest/Rogue

Get on the Shadow Priest as soon as possible. If your opponent is Alliance, be careful of Perception, stay next to your Priest at the starting zone and wait out Perception's duration. When you feel it is safe, the Rogue should walk out to give a 'path' to the Priest for him to run out. If your Priest does get Sapped, get ready to intercept the incoming Shadow Priest. Once you are on the Shadow Priest have your Priest Dispel whoever has Fear Ward, then continue to go on the Shadow Priest. Give your Fear Ward to your Rogue, hopefully he doesn't get Sapped so the Shadow Priest can easily dispel it. If the Rogue is on you (Priest), Dispel his Fear Ward and then Fear him. If he is Undead brace yourself again.

At some point you should be walking to the Shadow Priest, spam Dispel on him and his DoTs and keep yourself topped off as much as possible. Time a stun on the Priest so when the Rogue has his WOTF down you can Fear him without fear of it being dispelled immediately and he would have to trinket to continue on you. Blind him if he does trinket. If he doesn't, PI yourself and get as many Mana Burns as possible on the Shadow Priest while continuing to Dispel him.

If Crippling wears off run away and get as far away from the Rogue as possible. A key thing here is to not get Feared. If they go for your Rogue, avoid Fear from the SPriest and help out your Rogue by Fearing the Rogue that's on him. Your Rogue should save his Cloak when you are decently low (40/50%) so Wounding is off and you can heal him up decently. This game once again depends on how coordinated you can be and they can be, so be sure to have good timing and think one step ahead of them.

To me this fight is as easy as fighting mage/rogue (against which i have a 99% win ratio... i lost once cuz of DC).... I dont understand why you go for the shadow priest... Simply sit behind a pillar (pillar in nagrand and BeM and your side of the tomb in ruins) and wait for you to get sapped (if youve got perception... gz even easier) once the rogue cheap shotes you, have your rogue open up on him (the shadow priest is runing at you at this point) your rogue has to pre-cloak the fear if he sees that one coming, while you run around in circles around the pillar... If your rogue was fast enough you dont even have crippling poison on you because you were hit only like once during the cheap shot. When the rogue finally catches up to you, he should be down to like 40% hp or something. If they decide to switch to your rogue, evasion and make the rogue start runing around in circles around the pillar. Pom effectively heals through the SWP and the shadow priest should not be getting many casts of since ur constantly on the move and hes trying to re-adjust to your position all the time. You dont even need to dispell anything maybe besides a possible shield on the rogue...................

If your a dwarf... GZ free rating for you... If your UD, again free rating... If your anything else... gz free rating

Your strat is pretty bad tbh, getting on the priest is stupid, 90% of the time, the rogue is HARP, which means he's going to destroy your priest assisted by dispel spam from the shadowpriest.

Best strat is to get on the rogue, priest stays max range circling to keep the rogues between him and the other priest, if the shadowpriest tries to get past to fear your priest, shiv crip on him.

100% win using this strat.
