Unholy Death Knight/Resto Shaman

VS.

Holy Paladin/Warrior

Similar to pally/dk in most regards, but with mortal strike. With freedom and dispels on the warrior, it will be absolutely impossible to kite him reasonably, unlike with druid/warrior. The warrior can tunnel you the entire game and there is very, very little your partner can do about it.

You may want to bloodlust earlier to keep yourself from falling behind. Hexes should always go on the warrior. Hit the paladin. The fight should be a lot more simple to keep up with because it's so much more simplified compared to pally/dk, but that doesn't mean it's easier. Refer to druid/warrior for more generic warrior strategies.

Expect to lose almost all of the time.

What we've done with careless warriors (though it's pretty difficult to pull off cleanly) is just constantly dragging them out of LOS without really trying to grip them to peel. Then when they are out of LOS is when you try to really lay into them and shock/hex the pally as he runs in. Repeating this you'll eventually catch them out of cooldowns and score a kill. It's much easier to do with prot paladins though because they have no instants and it's obviously not easy because a warrior can really destroy a shaman now.

against warrior, the restro shaman needs an addon to see when the warrior overpowered. you have to fake cast every single op or you gonna get fucked like a kitten from a monster truck.

The thing is though, the warrior can save up his overpower proc and use overpower right before rend ticks again and he gets to use overpower again. So he basically overpowers you two times in a row for ~3k each, and if you happen to randomly be casting something in there, you just die.

Any good tip of an addon to use to see when he can use OP, or an explanation how I can know without addons that he can use OP, I know it comes from rend, but when?
