Rogue/Warlock

VS.

Hunter/Priest

This can be tricky. Try to kill the priest while ccing the hunter. Id say open with a cheap shot on the priest seeing as you probably wont be able to sap the hunter. Just burn down the priest while ccing the hunter.

what Cardinalio said. We can't CC hunter at all if hes BM. we just faced this combo three times and lost to them twice
Have the warlock run straight in and cast a fear on the priest to get rid of his fear ward while the rogue jumps on the hunter, when the priest trinkets your fear, and/or the hunter is at 50% health, blind the priest. GL on casting those fears if the pet+hunter is on you...
HELP PLEASE

imo, u try to sap the priest, get a stun off at the hunter... this gives u time for u warlock to get rid of the fearward. then just stick to the hunter to avoid as much damage as possible while nuking it, or you can just try to kite them around pillars.
then its basicly CC the priest nuking the hunter

Yeah BM will suck. If the hunter is going for the lock, I would get out a void and kite while I have dots (only on priest so PoM doesn't bounce). Believe me the hunter is trying to be offensive while BW is up. Hopefully he will still go for the warlock and not peel the rogue off the priest. CoW the hunter and with a void and kiting, you should be able to outlast the BM. If the hunter switches to the rogue, rogue evasions and tries to stay on priest. Warlock helps on priest. CoEX if rogue is feared, and you might need to deathcoil as an interrupt if you can't get a fear off to interrupt the priest. Once BW is up you can win with a fear on the hunter. Even if your rogue dies, and the warlock is at like 40% HP and you are going against a 100% full HP BM hunter without BW, the warlock can win with dots, LOS, a void, and lifedrain.

At higher ratings the hunter won't ever be BM so don't worry about it. Considering he's MM, you can either kill him and CC the priest or kill the priest and CC the hunter. Personally, I prefer killing the priest first.

i agree with Nightshot, Hunter are going to need Imp. Stings for the nasty druid teams.
When i go agaisnt this setup, my partner(rogue) tries to sap hunter, i(lock)run in to the priest, take off the fearward, and dot up with CoT and put pet on him. Than run over to hunter and fear. Usually they will trinket the fear to help priest, this being done. my partner blinds, KS, DC, silenced ftw

This is actually pretty simple to defeat considering your lock is SL\SL.

1) As soon as you see a hunter (ON ANY TYPE OF TEAM), resummon to a Voidwalker.
2) Asap dot the hunter's pet and the hunter and run around as much as possible to avoid being in LoS.
3) When the warlock has about 50-60% life, Use Sacrifice on your voidwalker giving you a 2kish dmg shield. Fel Dom and resummon voidwalker; and sacrifice again if you must.
4) Once BW fades, Fear the hunter and burn the priest. (Your rogue should have been burning priest during BW, and should be an easy finish off with a deathcoil to interupt a last minute heal).
5) Once priest dies, kill hunter.
6) Reap free points.

Optional.
You can kill either one.
Simply focus one while maintaining fears/blind on the other.
Typically good priests will dispel the fears off the hunter, but doing so sometimes makes it easier to kill him. After fears are immune to the hunter switch to fearing the priest to prevent heals.

IF the hunters bm, LOS. And wow you take no dmg. Using 2 voidwalkers here is pointless. If the hunters on the rogue, have him use evasion.

If the hunters smart and thinks hell try trapping the rogue, dispel it.

Only in rare circumstances should you ever lose to this setup.
