Shadow Priest/Rogue

VS.

Druid/Rogue

Very, very few of these exist, so I'm not that sure how strong they are anymore. I've only fought maybe 2-3 this season. What you do, though, is have your Priest run over to where the sight buff spawns. Wait there, and just stand in a position where you won't get Sapped from behind. You can kill either the Druid or the Rogue, and it shouldn't be that hard. If you're on the Rogue, he shouldn't be doing too much dps to your Priest, and you can fairly easily blow him up. Just remember to Silence and Blind the Druid. Fear if possible. Remember Ruptures so that the Rogue can't just Vanish and hide for a full heal.

One of the problems my team has been having lately is that the rogue has started on my rogue every game, and just sat there with evasion. We've tried killing the rogue but they always just spam cyclone on me while my rogue does nothing. We may try next time to attack the druid as soon as he blows NS or even when he comes out, but any suggestions for when he starts on the rogue?

This guide is a bit outdated, and Rogue/Druid has become quite a popular comp in S3. We've tried numerous approaches to this fight, and against a good team who know what to expect, the druid will NEVER be in fear range. With fearing the druid out of the picture, there is practically no way to CC the druid for more than 5 seconds (from silence) and that is obviously not enough to burn down a rogue, especially if he's ShS.

The best strategy we've found so far is to start on the rogue then make a switch to the druid. Like the guide says, sit by the sight spawn and when the enemy rogue opens on me (the priest) my rogue will jump him and start locking him down with CS->KS. Do NOT dot the rogue, simply dispel him and run away. Soon the druid will appear and begin healing the rogue, the druid will probably be at max range. If the druid takes too long, I can throw a mindblast and a mindflay. Once the druid is out, my rogue needs to immediately gouge the enemy rogue, pop sprint, pop all cds, and get on the druid. During the gouge we try to dps the druid as hard as possible, silencing him if he gets under 50%. Make sure you are SPAMMING dispels on the druid whenever possible. You must get rid of abolish poison and rejuv. Lifebloom will inevitably bloom, making it bloom faster just puts more pressure on the druid since he will need to re-apply his hots. After the gouge is over, I will fear the rogue which he will either WotF if he's undead, or possibly trinket. This is where the fight stems into several paths.

If the rogue is UD (and it seems like MOST of them are these days) he will WotF the fear, and then my rogue will blind him, which he will trinket. I try to survive until my fear is up again, while dpsing the druid without using SW:D unless he's getting really low. Once my fear is up, I'll fear the rogue which he'll have to eat, and hopefully we'll kill the druid before the rogue gets back and finishes me off.

If the rogue isn't UD, he'll either trinket the fear or eat it. If he trinkets, my rogue will blind him and
