Priest/Warlock

VS.

Retribution Paladin/Rogue

Difficulty 8

This is probably the double/dps team, that you'll have the most issues. However, there isn't many of them so it shouldn't be too much an issue. They'll most likely open on the warlock to reduce the damage and control of the warlock. This is where shadowflame helps the most. An shadowflame and teleport should get you a decent distance from them. The ret can cleanse and provide utility for the rogue. So getting UA off is important or curse of agony will be your only dps on them. If you can last through the ret and rogues cooldowns, then it'll get a bit easier from there.

Whenever we fight this comp they go for my priest. I get sapped and they open, I wait out the sap cast Howl of terror start dotting, and sometimes get a fear off and then I get blinded/repentance. If I trinket that they use the other one on me and we lose. If i don't trinket it they kill my partner because I can't help. I have tried getting in combat with the ret pally but he runs around and stays mounted until im sapped.

stay off your mount and send pet in and out on pally to stay in combat and see if your priest can get mass dispells off on pally to get into combat... stay in combat.. priest can also mass dispell where he thinks the rogue is coming in on and get in combat by dispelling the rogue's might/kings. You'll know you hit it when it says "in combat"

Oh man I've been bursted so hard by this team so many times without them even bothering to blind or repentence my priest. so i finally learned how to beat the fuckers. It's simple actually even against an actually good team who knows how to control your healer. Rush the pally with your priest in the back most rogues can't resist a sap or an opener on the priest. Death coil pally fel come a sucubus. if the pally pops wings seduct him dot rogue as much as possible let priest MC rogue after wasting a CD on fear. Pop any +sp trink you have and burst the shit out of the pally, if you can live through wings youll be fine. That's the only real big time dmg.

they allways go for my priest, I wait out the sap then I stunn them with shadowfury and howl them away... I trie to fear both off my priest as much as possible and kill the rogue in a chaosbolt into a conflag.
Allways trinket blind, when you get repentanced you use your felhunter to dispell you! and spellock the pala if he tries to heal without bubble ofc.
This is extremely hard when you face teams at top rating, they get your priest to use allmost all cds before your out of the sap.

today I just met 5 different rogue ret teams, seems like it is a common combo now adays. Well anyways they have no problem what so ever to zerg me down. Fear go on DR and I'm gone.
