General Information

My Warrior friend and I have been messing around for a while now with Warlock/Warrior. (we've leveled 2 teams to 2000+) I thought I'd write something for anyone interested in a really fun and unique combo.

Disclaimer: It's not an amazingly powerful combo. You will have quite a few weaknesses, but a lot of the time you can take the advantage in matches. I recommend you both have good gear.

So basically spec 33/28 for war and 23/37 for lock?

Any strats against rogue/rogue?
AwesomesauceFeb 28, 2008 - 5:46 PM (HideShow)
Hunter/druid also?
LatexFeb 29, 2008 - 6:26 PM (HideShow)
suggestion for Hunter/Druid:

LoS is key.

hunter tries to hit warlock, warlock LoS and full dot, warrior smash hunter's face in
hunter tries to hit warrior, fear the hunter and full dot, warrior smash hunter's face in
hunter pet tries to hit warlock, full dot pet, drain pet while LoS

druid cyclone warlock, very safe for warlock while warrior smash hunter's face in
druid cyclone on warrior (or hunter trap warrior), warlock LoS and both of you take no damage while keeping full dot

their CC doesnt get any advantage since we dont heal, if they run away we kill pet.

and the rest is wait for opportunity for take them down
1)druid comes to heal pet, full dot druid and let him run away if he can/wants. Druid should have full DoT when he comes in to do this, if you dont see his hp low enough to execute spelllock+DC+fear then let him run from your warlock while he comes back to fear hunter, which will result in him having to come back for the following...
2)druid comes to heal hunter, warrior get on druid , warlock throw spelllock+DC+fear on druid so he doesnt get any healing down


with full dot running, i had twice the damage than my warrior when we win these combo.

PS I am only 1750-1810 but we did kill all the hunter/druid we saw today, I think our combo eats then?

Thank you for this guide, very detailed and useful!

This Combo is absolutly IMBA if played correctly. Im not joking here folks. Granted you need good gear to play it correctly its absolutly incredible. Me and my friend just started playing this for fun seeing as we saw this make-up and already have our 2k. we went 27-5 in the first night! beat EVERY warrior/druid, and hunter/druid we faced. These were not scrubs either, 2k+ gearwise at least. The amount of dps the warrior and lock can put out is incredible on a single target, far too much for ANY druid to heal without risking a fear. The games are fun and fast, rekindling my love for 2 dps. Please feel free to catch me ingame for strats etc. we are currently 1840 and working it up :) so hit me up, or ask for post on most combos if there is enough interested people.

I played this team for a long time this season (until I got my shoulders) and it's honestly been the most fun I have ever had in arena! (well almost... 5s > 2s)

Druid/Dps is definitely an absolute joke against this makeup, unless it's Druid/Rogue, which is only marginally more difficult.
Shaman/Dps and Paladin/Dps are definitely more trouble because a shaman can screw with the warlock's spells a lot, and pallies can simply bubble while you try to go for the kill.

Someone asked for strats against rogue/rogue, it's pretty much just luck. Your warlock dots up both of them as much as he can before he dies while your warrior goes in for the kill. I can post a video on youtube of a win vs rogue/rogue in 1900s if you'd like.
HomicideApr 11, 2008 - 12:16 AM (HideShow)
I reviewed the clip of us beating rogue/rogue and it wasn't as brainless as I thought. Apparently I go through a much more rigorous thought process while actually playing than when I think back about what I did.

Both rogues were on my warlock so the moment I came out of sap I charged and AoE feared. I targeted the undead first since if I left him running around he would just break my fear with Will, whereas my warlock can start casting his own fear against a non-undead without worrying about a trinket. (Didn't work out, they managed to get back on him after only one fear and locked him down again)

After that point it becomes a dps race. Piercing howl, demo shout and disarm as much as you can to keep your warlock alive as long as possible.

I have played this combo quite often, as well as Lock Druid, and Lock Rogue, of the three this seems the most spontaneous and spiratic team. The others are very controlled fights, but with a warrior, its just kill them fast. Against druid _____ teams, we always manage to crush them. With the charge, deathcoil, silence, stun/silence lock on the druid. However, against a priest rogue, we have some problems. The rogue always gets me dead, and the priest manages to keep everyone alive. Otherwise, a powerful and potent team.

can you guys post a strat against Priest/Hunter thanks
ZinxMay 17, 2008 - 11:36 PM (HideShow)
I recommend you both have good gear.

NO SHIT SHERLOCK :O
LatexMay 21, 2008 - 9:24 PM (HideShow)
Priest Hunter becomes hard imo, shield on anything reduces warrior's rage, and dispell dots and mana burn on warlock will make him eat himself, and if the hunter is BM, your warrior will be downed before you can CC anything useful to save him.
ShenceMay 25, 2008 - 12:36 AM (HideShow)
I noticed in almost all of your strats against rogues you say have the warrior on the rogue and the warlock kites the rogue. I don't understand how this is possible. Cripple Poison > Hamstring and Cheap shot stun > charge giving the rogue time to shiv poison.
LatexMay 26, 2008 - 5:58 PM (HideShow)
using trinket at the right time. right before a los when rogue have hamstring on him. if you trinket too fast the rogue will see it coming, sometimes you need to let him hit you a bit and you crawl towards the los position then hit the trinket. of course you don't want to do it right before he does 5s kidney shot on you. doing so allows your war to have his way with him for a few seconds while you prep up for the rest of the fight.

Be ready to eat that blind.
Catching rogue is not an option as your disposal in my opinion, instead make sure all your rogue catching movements are near a los spot so your war can hamstring him and buy you some time if it is that case that (most of the case) he opens on either of you.

I'm curious would it be best for the lock to start off each match with a VW first. This along with feldom could provide 2 bubbles against rogue/rogue.

Should you see Healer/ X ...you could just feldom out the pup. Seems with this combo you really wouldn't have to worry to much about them killing your pet as that seems like a horrible option for the other team being that it would leave both of us free to dps and CC
LatexMay 29, 2008 - 5:24 PM (HideShow)
it's not even sure the rogue(or any dps) will get on the warlock instead of the warrior though, in many matches rogue on warrior wins the game. or worse if they are stealth they'll simply wait for sacrifice to fade.

it goes without saying that we hard summon if possible.
always start with felhunter, devour magic's many uses outweight vw anyday.

imo :)
MangledJun 17, 2008 - 2:13 PM (HideShow)
This combo is a big joke.
IF you guys are full veng and have nothing to do you can play it just for the laughs.

Saying that this combo beats war/druid is just silly.
warrior will just go on warlock and kill him. IF your warrior is on the other one ..that will give him even mroe rage and just sure loose.
Nothing can make me think that this combo has any chance agains skilled players with more than 2 miligrams of brain in their head.
ZixxJul 28, 2008 - 2:34 PM (HideShow)
u are wrong,i played this setup and we won like 90% of games to druid war
the nuke is so sick its a joke

start on warrior,deny him charge,then disarm intervane/intercept
with a bit of luck your lock will move away
dps the war,as soon as the druid pops switch to him
spell lock deathcoil lucky mace stun and the druid wont even pop the instant heal
he will die so fast
warrior will be left with 20% with lock dead or not depends on lock ^^
and u still got healthstone and u are at around 90% lol
nuke is sick as hell =)
only problem i had when druid starts the game in the first phase
with a cyclone,dont use trinket on it,save it when u are on his azz

ya its not the best combo but if u got no healer for 2on2 and a lot of time
games are fast and its fun to see ppl die
going wtf was that warlock warrior xD
its rly a fun combo to play =) if u got the gear and the right skills

played with gnome lock miguelz in s3 got 2k so easy with like 3 lost games,we were boosting his bro and we were like wtf this works? XD
and in s4 i played with human lock vas and best rating was 1940 after 200 games
SadeghiJul 30, 2008 - 12:34 PM (HideShow)
Hi
Me and my friend tried this in s4, but after 1700-1750 we start to met ppl with loads of Brutals, and someimtes its to hard for us till kill one of them before one of us is dead. For exampel Priest/Rogue.
Does this combo realy work now in s4 when everyone have so much hp, armor etc?
CloudehAug 4, 2008 - 6:39 PM (HideShow)
Got 2240 last night playing this setup in s4, gotten our shoulders :)

As someone said, really fun setup to play and it makes you feel good beating those fotm fags
RealazAug 7, 2008 - 5:47 PM (HideShow)
You got 2240 with this setup? What kind of a BG are you in lol
CloudehAug 8, 2008 - 5:16 PM (HideShow)
EU-Blackout, nothing wrong with that (Hey atleast it's better than yours)
CentrixAug 11, 2008 - 7:44 AM (HideShow)
Just tried playing this setup with a buddy tonight. Very fun. Got to 1700+ pretty easily, just need to get the right teams (Druids). I'd so much rather play a makeup like this where games don't last longer than my shouts.
VondSep 7, 2008 - 2:10 AM (HideShow)
This comp really cant beat double undead teams as fear being your only CC
