Shadow Priest/Rogue (Lilic)
Author
  | Shadow Priest/Rogue | VS. |   | Priest/Warrior |
Difficulty: 5/10
About 80% of the time, we are killing the Warrior here. It really depends on how they choose to open. If their Priest is spamming dispels on your Priest to avoid a Sap while the Warrior is a long way back hiding, we usually get on the Priest. Conversely, if the Warrior charges in with the Priest hanging back, we will kill the Warrior. If they're close to each other we'll Sap the Priest and kill the Warrior.
If we're killing the Warrior (most of the time) our Rogue should try to get a Sap off on the Priest. The Warrior will probably be on your Priest, who should still be mounted and LOSing the Warrior until the Sap goes off. Your Priest should then ride in and on top of the opposing Priest, and proceed to remove Fear Ward from him while he is stilled Sapped.
Your priest should then begin dotting the Warrior and stripping off his buffs while your Rogue locks him down. Before the Sap ends, your Priest should Fear the enemy Priest either causing a him to use Will of the Forsaken or a trinket. This fight has a ridiculous amount of possibilities depending on racials and when the Priest decides to use Pain Suppression. Basically just follow the usual routine; Blind the Priest if he trinkets and Silence him if he WotFs. The Silence is to give you a bigger window at downing the Warrior and also to put him behind on healing so he's forced to use Pain Suppression early. This will force him to stand still and spam heals instead of engaging in shady stuff like Mana Burning, DPSing, or spamming dispels. The point is to catch the Priest with a Blind when his trinket is down, and follow it with a Vanish->Sap if possible, while DPSing the Warrior with everything you've got. Our Priest needs to spam dispel whenever possible to get rid of Shield and Renew (ProM is usually used up before it gets dispelled).
If we're killing the Priest (only in the situation that charges in and his Warrior is far behind him) our Rogue will Sap the Priest, and not open until our Priest strips off all his buffs and begins casting a Vampiric Touch into a Shadow Word: Pain and a Vampiric Embrace. If we see the Warrior charging in right after the Priest is Sapped, we can switch to the Warrior and just follow the above strategy. Most of the time though, the Warrior will think we're going for him, and will actually run even further away or try to LOS our Priest. This, of course, is very good. Once the DoTs are queued up, your Rogue should open up and immediately pop all of his cooldowns in attempt to burn the opposing Priest down. If you see him getting low (below 50%) and he still hasn't used Pain Suppression, just Silence him and he'll probably die before he can pop PS. The Warrior will be pretty much un-cc-able here, so just ignore him while trying your hardest to burn down the Priest. Once the Priest is dead, your Priest should DoT up the Warrior and either finish him off or heal up if possible.
