Warlock/Warrior

VS.

Mage/Rogue

This is a fairly tough match, but winnable. Your Warrior needs to be on the Rogue, and your Warlock needs to be on the Mage. You should Devour Polymorph instantly and your Warrior should get good at Spell Reflecting them as well.

Basically your Warlock must kite the Rogue while your Warrior kills it. Keep DoTs up on both. Spam Curse of Tongues on the Mage while you're kiting. When you get distance from the Rogue Fear the Mage, DoT up his Water Elemental ASAP. Your Warrior should swing a Mortal Strike at the Elemental as well to kill them almost instantly.

Its a very good idea to take this team around a pillar. While you are kiting the Rogue your Warrior is chasing him and hence LOSing the Mage's Polymorphs. Save Spell Lock for a shatter combo, if you get shattered, you are almost certainly going to die. This is a tough match up but winnable and very satisfying to beat.

If they focus your Warrior, have him focus their Mage while you Fear the Rogue. If the Mage has to spend most of his time kiting and not really getting too much damage off (due to Spell Reflect/Tongues/Spell Lock on shatters) you can simply outlast them, provided your Warlock controls the Rogue well.

this is bullshit how can a warlock kite a rogue in double dps, this game is just insta loss as rogue will absolutely rape the warlock as usual and the mage will own the warrior who will be novad teh whole time

It's not bullshit it works, just gotta coordinate, spell lock mage, devour nova/sheep, warrior 24/7 on the rogue and it can work out. Yes mage > warrior, rogue > lock, but as well warlock > mage, warrior > rogue, so its 50 / 50 at best.

No good mage/rogue combo will lose vs warrior/lock.
Warlock will die, befor u got any dmg on the rogue.

A good lock can take a rogue. A rogue with no clos is no match for a good lock. I have won vs 2 rogues running lock war.

no a warlock is not a good match vs a rogue even if he doesnt have CloS, if the rogue is on the lock which he will be there is no way you can fear him with kick,pushback,vanish and stun. What will happen 100% of the time, they will win before the rogue is even out of CDs while the warrior is CC'd

if they nuke your warrior, have him put his shield on while u dot them up and spam fear the mage. if they nuke the warlock, keep dispelling your war and kite them both with dots on.
