Shaman/Warlock

VS.

Paladin/Warrior

This should be another easy win.

Put Curse of Tongues on the Paladin. DPS the Warrior as much as possible. Use a Rank 1 Earth Shock -> Spell Lock -> Rank 1 ES rotation to force the first bubble. (The Warrior will be dying very fast in the space of ~15 seconds with no heals against magic.) After the bubble, Bloodlust, do the same rotation. Add in a Warstomp on the Paladin if you're a Tauren and its needed. You can easily burst a Warrior down from 50% to 0% (with a Chain Lightning/ES/Nature Swiftness Lightning Bolt combo, along with your Warlock's Shadowbolt/Deathcoil.) If they start playing defensively, go for a drain approach.

Mitigate the Warrior's damage as much as possible. CoEx/Purge Blessing of Freedom/Rank 1 FS kiting, or CoW. Its up to your playstyle. Drain the Paladin. Kill the Warrior when the Paladin is OOM.

Obvious tips:
  • Purge Divine Favour, BoF, Divine Illumination.
  • Warlock Perspective: Don't have auto-devour on ever vs. Paladins unless he's with a magic-debuffing partner. Your Shaman can Purge. Save it for their Hammer - against Paladin/Warrior, Paladin/Rogue, it's pretty much the only debuff you'll get that's magic (very little reason for them to put any judgements on you either of you), and it's a big deal to remove. 6 seconds is a long time for a Warrior to have free reign pounding on you.

we use voidwalker for this comp because felhunter has low HP and dies to pally burst easier

though its still very easy with voidwalker, basically juke a pummel and you can mana drain forever. if the pally dispels like crazy, you may want to throw in some rank 1 dots so he wastes his mana. basically get the pally to bubble early with fears and ESr1 and its easy goin from there
