Druid/Rogue/Warrior

VS.

Paladin/Rogue/Warrior

Sap the paladin, open up on the warrior, and hope the warrior doesn't have BoS on him. If he does, have your druid open up with a cyclone on the paladin and toss FF and moonfire on the warrior so the paladin has more pressure to heal. When the rogue pops out, Cyclone the rogue a couple times to make him waste trinket or w/e to reduce damage. When the warrior gets BoPed, which will happen if u CCed the paladin a couple times, start cycloning the warrior until BoP is gone and dps a bit on the rogue or root the rogue and recover if anybody took too much damage. After the bop is gone, the warrior should still be at low health so continue dps on him and the DR on paladin will be gone. If not just blind/feral charge him and finish off the warrior.

I'm curious.

Why would you focus the warrior, and feed him rage, when you could burn the rogue?

Throw cyclone on the paladin while kiting the warrior, while your rogue and warrior burn the enemy rogue (Stunning him when he pops evasion). And your warrior can fear the paladin, and as soon as the paladin trinkets out of it, just blind him, forcing him to bubble or have his rogue die.

A-rogue Sap B-pala. A-War/rogue start on B-War. A-druid Cyclone B-rogue on pop up. A-druid charge pala on first heal. (B-war is 65%/70%).

:: if B-rogue goes on A-druid. A-druid go bear (use trinket if needed) bash B-pala. B-pala use buble (if not B-warrior dies).
:: if B-rogue goes on war/rogue. Cyclone B-rogue and keep cc'ing B-pala till he uses Buble.
(All work to A-druid but is a possible mission to him. Just focus on cc the B-pala to force him use buble so he can heal B-warrior.)

A-War/Rogue goes on B-rogue with intercept/shadowstep (B-rogue is stuned). A-druid cyclone warrior and he cant be healed. When cyclone ends you chose: keep on B-rogue or move to non-healed B-warrior(harmstring+wound poison) and just kill him. [ As you see they dont do any dps till here and have used all they most precious abilities]

A smart pally will never be sapped for long in the beginning. Should never have a warrior / rogue feeding the opposing warrior rage. A smart pally /w/r will be aggresive, and soon as your druid pops out and TRIES to cc... justice druid, freedom rogue... dead druid. Best bet is training the rogue, giving your druid more leeway to CC, save SHS /KS for when the rogue gets a freedom. Last thing you want is a sprinting rouge with freedom on your druid. Your druid needs to be in good posistion the whole fight, it is very easy for war / rogue to do a hard switch and gib your druid, especially with a used up NS and trinket. It's an uphill battle, personally ran pally /W/R to about 2250 and never lost to a single druid /2x melee comp.

would split dps be viable? the warrior can force a lot of pressure on the enemy rogue with the druid and rogue locking out the pally a lot of cooldowns could get blown early.

In theory, I can see Spicyt's strategy working. Warrior will put a lot of pressure on the Rogue, which would be almost impossible for the Paladin to heal through with the Rogue breaking all his casts. The Warrior could either be CC'd, or slowed, depending on who gets the blessing of freedom, leaving the Rogue to chase a Druid by himself with a Warrior pounding on him, or the Warrior to get kited around by the Druid.

I mean, I haven't tried this, but on paper it looks good.

In response to spicyt and invisable, yes it looks good, but the other team will counter by going on the rogue. Their rogue + their warrior on the rogue, paladin will get heals off. That been said you should still win because your druid has far superior CC and is left free to cast it all, blessing of freedom will be put on the paladin at this point and he'l simply run away. You can simply cyclone the paladin 3times and both nuke the rogue - the chances are the rogue will be killed in this time because he should already be low before they adapt to counter your tactic. Also a note - your druid should feral charge the first cast before he starts cyclone spam, simply because the paladin cant bubble out of cyclones, it gives you a little longer to end the rogue.

i disagree in cc'ing the paladin instead cc the rouge or warrior and focus the warrior with a ms and a rouges dps the paladin will be forced to use divine shield early because through kicks and kidney shots he wouldn't be able to get a heal off focus him first then go to the rouge after he pops his bubble then jump back on him after the bubble fades. overall the best strat for taking dow a paladin healing team. expecially with a rouge and a warrior.
