Shadow Priest/Rogue (Lilic)
Author
  | Shadow Priest/Rogue | VS. |   | Shadow Priest/Warlock |
Difficulty: 1/10
A fairly simple (AKA easy, AKA don't lose) matchup. Most of the time (but less and less it seems) the Warlock will be Affliction and other times SL/SL. In both cases, we like to kill the Warlock since this, for the most part, prevents any ranged Fears. The SPriest's Fears are unavoidable by your Rogue and can be out ranged by your Priest. It's not bad to go for the Shadow Priest first either, as this lessens his burst and prevents him from healing uninterrupted.
Have your Rogue Sap one, then open immediately on the other. If one is mounted and the other isn't, Sap the one that is mounted because he will just run away if he sees his partner Sapped. It is crucial that our Priest contributes in DPSing the target. If you give this team time, full stacks of ticking DoTs on both of you really, really hurts and it should not get to a point where your Priest is forced to come out of Shadow to heal before one of them is almost dead. Your Priest should always use Silence on the opposing Priest, because that's where most of their burst damage comes from. Chain fear and Blind on the one that isn't being focused and DPS the other one hard. Simple enough.
Once the fight gets to a point where the Rogue can finish off the remaining HP on our focus, our Priest can hop out of Shadow to heal and let Prayer of Mending do its thing. It's a very difficult matchup for the opposing team.
