This is usually not too tough of a make up. Be sure your Priest gets near their Pally early on and your Warrior grabs their Warrior's attention. Fear the Paladin on whenever possible. Pummel and/or Intercept heals when possible and burn, burn, burn his mana. Keep an eye out for burst opportunities on their Warrior.

| Yeah he'll usually get off a heal through the use of bubble before the match ends. Priest should help DPS with SWP, Mind Blasts, Mind Flay, whatever. Just remember, stopping the Paladin from healing is more essential than staying on the Warrior. I would typically have to intercept to the Paladin to interrupt a heal then pummel the next one before my Priest's fear was up and I could get back on the Warrior. Without bubble, Paladins shouldn't get a heal off ;) Or you can just go the mana burn route, I just find it easier to burst the Warr. If he goes Sword and Board then definitely just straight up Mana Burn the Paladin. | |

| Decent Pally's can avoid mana burns on any map, when the pally gets feared, (w/ no trinket) , the warrior can intercept (preventing a mana burn), Shield and board *switch to defensive if they try and down you*, and pummel a mana burn so that at most 1 gets off, ... The warrior should be on the priest the entire fight, Honestly, good luck trying to heal yourself while mana burning down a pally thats los'ing. Should be a easy win for the pally warrior if the war is able to stay on the priest w/ little interruptions, also SS makes the priest heal more, rather than focusing on silencing the pally. While the priests warrior beats on your own, he's feeding rage to your own warrior, which again allows him to deal more. | |

| My experience is what Britticanuis wrote. A good pally will easily los mana burns while a priest will have a hard time shaking a good warrior. Might try the burst option. | |

| Having played as paladin/warrior up to about the 1850 bracket, I have to say that trying to mana burn a paladin is very difficult. I always hop onto the priest and keep him with me to prevent any manaburns or fears, and usually having the warrior on me makes my job a lot easier. The best way to go about it is to suck the paladin in by bursting the warrior, and if you can get him down, all the better. Otherwise burst him hard, dispel his BoP, interrupt the paladin and try to finish off the warrior. That's how I always died against warrior/priest, but most games we beat warr/priest with warr/healadin. | |

| So true, that's the problem I generally encounter. Warrior won't let me fucking move and the Pally is playing peek-a-boo behind the Pillar. Mana Burn w/ Power Infusion talent comes in real handy if you can get a single fear off on the Pally and hopefully Warrior at the same time and have the Pally at low mana in no time. Even if they break the fear they are likely wide out in the open allowing you to get several burns before they disappear out of sight again. | |

| I don't find this match up to be extremely difficult. I pride myself on my ability to play the warrior like a fool on my mount and keep him away form me untill he finally goes to my warrior to help his Paladin. My warrior is then free to pop Sweeping strikes and really start bursting them down. Its then that i come in with PI Mana burns / Mind Blast and SWD. The combined dps will make the Paladin bubble and its an easy .5 sec Mass dispell to victory. Once the warrior actully gets on you if you know his Intercept is on cd, get your warrior to hamstring their warrior and use your trinket to get some yards on the Warrior. From there its pretty easy. I put swp on both and my devouring plauge on the warrior. | |
