 | Shadow Priest/Rogue | VS. |   | Paladin/Warlock |
This set up is extremely difficult for you. You have to kill the Pally, but he is just going to run away and Cleanse while you get chain Feared. Pretty much, you should just blow an AR and rush the Pally down. Use Silence, Blind, and Fear on the Warlock. Spam dispels on the Pally to remove BoF and what not.
Once the Pally bubbles, try for a mass dispel. If you don't remove it the first time, try again if you can. Once the bubble is gone, AR/BF, and finish the pally off. Your priest will have to pop out to heal at this point, because you'll both be low. Don't let the Pally get away. Preemptive CoS, WoTF and what not is very important here. You should be able to finish the Pally off, and 1v2 the Warlock.

| We actually change our strategy for this fight depending on whether the pally's in arena gear or tier 6. We'll rush down the pally if he's in tier 6, but if he's in arena gear, it's usually better to go for the warlock while crowd controlling the pally. Mass dispel resists + fear + CoT + CoEX + spell lock just make it too risky to go for paladins unless they're in tier 6. | |

| We also kill warlock first and cc the pally. my mate is 20/41/0 specced (not crappy sstep) and the lock goes down very quickly. just dispell all he has and fear/silence/blind the pally. But you won't see much pally/lock-teams nowdays. They are very rare and if you really should met this lineup, it's very lowrated. | |

| We sit around 1800 at the moment, having trouble getting higher, really. This setup owns us. We try to CC the pally and he bubbles, by that time the warlock has all his dots going, and i'm almost dead. (I'm the priest) If we go for the pally, he will bubble, Mass Dispell..It will work, unless the fel hunter silences me...Which is GG. | |

| The problem with going for the pally is that at higher ratings, curse of tongues will always be kept on the priest, curse of exhaustion on the rogue, and the warlock can easily keep the priest from casting a mass dispel for the duration of the pally bubble. Also, ignoring the warlock leaves him open to chain cast shadow bolts into your team, which is quite a bit of damage. Not to mention mass dispel resists, which happen all too frequently. | |

| well playing as a rogue the priest should be BACK up in a sense. Start by sprinting and sapping the pally ( i usually always do because it leaves him to pop trinket early or MAD cc thereafter ) and ALWAYS START ON THE WARLOCK FIRST! the rogue is the counter to the warlock. Every talent we posses can truely hurt the warlock one on one. When sapped the priest should consistantly learn to silence then chain fear like mad.. when he pops trinket that is when you should blind so call out the trinket. Also being on the warlock the whole time will make him worry about kiting instead of paying attention to the your priest. When you have time dot him as well to aid in dps, but MAINLY learn to CC the pally. you can counter the pally's moves priest, so learn to wait it out and heal when the pally heals if you can't mass dispel in time. | |

| This team is rough, but for the most part we don't lose to them. We tend to play it a little like druid warlock where my priest just dispels the entire game while chasing the pally to fear. Although we have gotten lucky a few games where the pally trinkets the first fear, and the warlock is ~40%, and I pop AR/BF as my priest silences the pally just before a cast goes off. In the time it takes to bubble + heal the warlock usually dies. | |
