Mage/Priest/Rogue

VS.

Druid/Warlock/Warrior

Attack the Warlock. The Priest should stay mounted until the Druid pops up, then run onto him and Fear him. If he doesn't trinket, he should be set too far back to recover during the Fear, especially if he gets Feared far away or out of line of sight. If he does trinket, this opens him up for a Blind and another Fear later in the game. SPAM Dispel on the Warlock, sheep the Warrior, Fear the Druid every CD, CS the Druid as soon as he exposes his tree regardless of whats going on. Any decent Warlock will be spell locking your Mage and the Druid will be looking to Feral Charge Shatter combos from your mage, so be ready to fake those. Priests - Heal and Shield the Water Elemental. Your ability to get a kill is entirely dependent on it. This is a relatively easy comp to beat with Vile Poisons; as long as you're spamming Dispel and the Druid eats a full CC at some point, once he uses Nature's Swiftness he should NOT be able to get the Warlocks HP back up.

How can u "fake" a Shatter Combo? Start Casting Frostbolt but not using Pet Nova?

My team had more success actually split dpsing this comp, mage on warr, rogue on lock. Druid will be so backed up on healing that he'll be exposed to mana burns alot and will go OOM by the time I as a mage and my priest are about half mana before evoc.

@ frostitude: just go 1 second or less into the frostbolt - then stop - hopefully you'll eat a spell lock, missing the frost tree lockdown. then re-cast.

I run druid/warlock/warr so ill just give u guys my output in a diferent perspective: it is a good idea to stay mounted for the priest 2 stay mounted and go for the fear once the druid pops out, ur priest will be focused by our warrior, so beware of that try 2 stay out of range and make sure ur rogue shivs the warr if possible, if u dont get the fear its not the end of the world. ***IT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR UR MAGE TO KEEP UP WINTERS CHILL ON WARR.*** this prevents dispelling of sheeps and allows u to actually poly the warr, slam dispels on the lock but dont let urself or ur rogue/mage get too low from dots. to win against this combo, u must have a good mage, no good mage, no win. mage needs 2 fake cast, CS all cyclones/regrowths (as a druid i always fake-cast) and know to stack winter's chill. if the druid plays it pro and doesnt get CS'd and doesnt let lock or both pets die, switch to the druid, he wont have trinket or NS so it will be a very easy kill, but its an option only for if u know u will lose if u keep on the lock. PS. u will not win the mana war, even if u dispel innervate, guaranteed.

We got raped several times by this team. (Faced 2 different teams with this setup) One time the warrior was just on me the entire time, locking me down, no pressure at all on the lock. Killed the pet two times, but as I had the warrior with the RNGForce, the warlock got to summon a new pet. And eventually our priest was oom, I die, and loss. The other time they were focusing our priest. And as RNG is a winner and a sinner, they got our priest down way faster than we could get the lock down.. Any tips/help?

Ralppi, if the warrior is on your priest while you guys are on the warlock, and priest dies while warlock fears are cc'ed properly and you sometimes even apply crippling on the warrior then get a new mage. Warrior shouldn't be on the priest that long if mage is good, see animocity's post above.
