Shaman/Warlock

VS.

Hunter/Shaman

This is the hardest of Hunter/Healer setups your going to face due to their insane mana regeneration and totems making fearing harder. You're not going to win by outlasting them, you want to lock down the Shaman and kill the Hunter.

Starting tips:
Save deathcoil and pet silence for Nuke.
Use the Shaman's Earth Shock for stopping heals before nuke due to smaller cooldown

Start normally having dots up on all targets, keep it running. When Hunter is around 50% health both you and Shaman focus damage on Hunter, make sure soon as Shaman comes in line of sight you cast Curse of Tongues on him, even tho this can be removed by the Shaman it slows him down.

Time to react, Instant cast and Global Cooldown. That's 2-3 seconds minimum there since most of the time they start casting a heal and notice after this that their cursed. Now comes the teamwork part, when the Shaman starts to cast heal again you are going to need to start Counter rotation
First Heal : Pet Silence
Second Heal: Earth shock
Followed with a Deathcoil.


You can always refresh Curse of Tongues between this rotation

If every thing goes well the hunter should be dead, If it fails don't keep up, keep running dots on them until you got your cooldowns ready again for second try.

take pet silence out of the strat because a felhunter doesn't last more than 2 seconds against this team

Felhunters are a complete joke. I really don't see how shamanlock teams are getting so high... Unless everyone on their BG doesnt know how to target pets.

Yah we end up having to use a voidwalker, because keeping up a felhunter is just unreasonable and for the kill we rely on double GLG + using shock and deathcoil and maybe hex/howl.

I run shaman hunter and we jumped over 2k (I know we are op I dont need to get flamed about it right now) I tried Shaman Lock twice and both times it was bad. I know locks are good but they seem to work better with other healers and not us.

Also the only way we do lose is if you do follow this strat or something like it and lock me down and burn my hunter fast enough.
