Rogue/Warlock

VS.

Paladin/Warrior

Your Warlock should keep Curse of Tongues on the Paladin. He should DoT the Warrior fully while you lock him down. The Lock should use Fear to force the Paladin to Bubble/Trinket so you can then Vanish+Sap.

Depending on the situation, at this point you can switch to the Pally or stay hard on the Warrior.

You should go about 50/50 against this team. Tier 6 Pallys will make this match extremely difficult. However, the only way around them is to switch to them quickly after the bubble.

stun resists are the worst enemy. theoretically, lock/rogue have advantage, but some luck based factors can bring chances to zero. so it really 50/50. our last fight was a nightmare 2xCS+1xKS resists & 1KS trinket, pummel/intercept/mace stun all fears except 1, which was bubbled.

play the sap game... sap the pally and prowl for the warrior. important to sap the warrior so the warlock can fear chain him, and when he pops his trinket make sure you get that ALL important blind on. This is an log fight for the rogue, but easy if he has the advantage. The warlock need to stay back until the rogue sets up his initial CC lockdown.

rogue: sap the pally, then go for the warrior. you might have to distance because of the shouts... but make sure you rush in with sprint because neither will be trying to kite you. cheap shot>kidney shot> expose armor> vanish and cheap shot again for the longer stunlock with silences. By this time the warrior is probably on you, so make sure after you cheap shot to cast ghostly strike/evasion so he can't hamstring interrupt you with bleeds. burn your prep if needed early just to make sure you get a longer evasion off so the warrior can't touch you. just don't turn your back on the warrior, it'll hurt! Call out when the pally has some free time so the warlock can fear/silence.. this is crucial because it may need to come around 2 cycles before the pally is taken down.

warlock: distance is your key. don't create aggro or avoid the warrior's rush by LOS if needed. you do need to cast fear on appropriate times to make the fight go by faster... and call out if he pops trinket for the rogue to blind. this is very dependant on the rogue's ability so you need to help out with silience and fear when you can.. and of couse dot up the pally w/tongues so his heals can be CC'd faster.

Blessing of sac can make the cc of the pally difficult at times. What seems to work best vs teams with blessing of sac is to open up on the warrior with full dots, then fully dot up the paladin. You will be surprised how fast the pally will be damage, after the bubble switch to the pally.
