Rogue/Warlock

VS.

Priest/Warlock

I feel like this is one of the hardest matchups. If they position right, i.e the priest staying in the back as the warlock charges in dotting everything, things can be very hard. The ideal thing to do is sap the priest and kill the warlock. If you do sap the priest, just sit on that lock and be prepared to throw out cc on the priest. CoT, fears, CS and blinds are a must on the priest. The rogue staying on the lock shuts down any chance of him casting and does very good damage.

This is a difficult fight if lock is dispelling fears on the priest (which he should be). You want your pet on the warlock so PoM doesn't bounce.

This is a difficult fight but not really for the reason above. It is difficult because unless you play rogue lock with the lock as UA, any good priest will just be spam dispelling dots and for the most part mitigating the warlock's damage. Our usual strat is to get a sap off on the warlock, and open on priest. I will be controlling the warlock with tongues / fears however you do not want your pet actually attacking him because of PoM bouncing.

The only way of defeating this comb for us is focusing the priest. Meanwhile i put cot on the warlock and interrupt his fears as good as possible. Since my rogue is troll it's even more difficult, but certainly possible. Focusing the warlock has never worked for us.

Have been running this combo for a month or two now and have gotten up to 2023 rating. Priest/rogue FTL. Anyways for this combo its worked for us by nuking that priest. TRY and sap the lock if you can however lock normally charges in. Jump the priest and beat the shit out of it try and cloak of shadow at a critical time or when they have a full row of DoTs on you. Once priest is dead lock should be 50% and it should be GG. Its all about how well your lock keeps their lock in check.

if they're not undead we usually just train the warlock put EA on him then SnD+AR+BF+powerup. My teammate would just stand next to me and the pet would die twice in no time. if priest is undead we'd go on the priest.
