Druid/Warlock/Warrior

VS.

Druid/Priest/Warrior

The basic strategy here is to focus the Priest until you have a chance to quickly swap onto the Druid. The Druid may get lazy or be unable to keep up and his health will tend to get low at times. Take advantage of this opportunity and kill him.

Put your Felhunter on the Priest and have auto Devour Magic on. The Warrior should Sunder the Priest and stick on him most of the game.

The Druid should be controlling their Warrior using Cyclone and Roots. Coordinate Cyclones on the Druid with the Warlock. Your Druid needs to be able to watch the Priest because your Warrior will get CCed and he won't always be able to Pummel the Mana Burns. The Warlock can sometimes use his Spell Lock on the burn when it will be chained on the Druid, but most of the time Spell Lock should be used to control Druid's CC.

The Warlock should be fully dotting the Priest/Druid. Curse of Weakness should be on the Warrior. He should be chain fearing the Druid to control CC.

This combo is getting more popular in s4 it seems, this strat is dead except for 1 thing, lock doesnt need 2 be dotting the druid, this will just let PoM pop back and forth, druid mainly needs 2 worry about ccing the warr while the lock is dotting the priest and spamming searing pain for high dps, if lock is unable 2 fear or druid is immune due to DR, thats when u go for the feral charge - bash followed by triple cyclone, if priest is not dead after that then ur warr and lock r doing some really shitty dps ;), so pretty much same strat as above just dotting druid is not worth it.

He wants you to dot the druid so that you can make a switch to the druid when he isn't paying attention to his health.

The best way to beat most teams with a druid healer as WLD is to fully dot the druid and switch to him when he has no hots up. Then have your druid cyclone the warrior and have your warlock chain fear the priest and save his dispel for nature's grasp on the warrior. Feral charge/stun the druid when he gets low and have your lock deathcoil him. This strat works vs even the very best druids. You don't even have to wait for the druid to get low just make sure he has no hots up cus he will probably go bear and wait for priest heals which wont be coming if your lock does his job.

Well with this combo we what we did was hop on the priest, CC warrior and when the druid is at 40% we CC priest and down the druid he will run but my lock always got him and or my druid charged him so i could get back on him, not to to hard but can be long and a pain.
