Mage/Priest/Rogue

VS.

Paladin/Shaman/Warrior

Kill the Shaman. CC the Warrior mostly, or the Paladin when the Warrior is on DR; however usually a CS on the paladin at a good time is the only CC you need. Dispel Freedoms, Blessing of Sacrifice and Earth Shield quickly. If you're fighting a team that likes to get on your Priest, he needs to play it like he's going to instantly die if the Warrior gets on him at any point; stick near a pillar and only come out to Dispel or Fear if it looks like a good idea. If the Warrior chases you he'll end up getting Sheeped/Novaed out of LOS forcing him to get on the Mage. If your Priest sees chances to Mana Burn, Burn the Paladin, not the Shaman.

Going on the ret pally and CC'ing the shaman to kill pally quick works way better.

Letting the 2 DPS roll around with nothing to stop them from killing the priest is a terribad idea.

We tried that at first, but it didn't work very well at all

Is this a strategy vs ret or holy paladin?

cc the warrior ? The warrior can easily push his dispel button and then the warr is free? CC paladin IMO

It may just be my gear, but to beat this team its pretty easy if you get the start. Blow all CD's in the begining, jump on shaman, the pally should give the shaman freedom, which you will dispell, you can then sheep pally or warrior, if you are decent the pally should be forced to bubble to keep the shaman up. Mass dispell bubble and go to work on the Pally. Ice mages reck pallys, not even funny. If the teams i fight dont do this to us, we generally win 90% of the games if we make it though the first minute not needing to bubble

In every game I've played against rmp, we've ALWAYS had a harder time winning when they targeted our pally first.

What about getting on the warrior? It can be very difficult to keep him cc'ed due to pally dispels while the shaman is healing. We've had the most success by putting the rogue on the warrior, then sheep/cs healers and work on the warrior. If the pally bubbles, then quick switch to him. Stay on the warrior allowing our priest to drink, and mana burn.

Making your rogue feed the warriors rage doesn't seem like the best idea really.
Its basically free dmg you give away, forcing your priest to do more heals, letting the warrior lose gives around the same dmg output and gives your rogue a chance to dps the shaman. If you do enough dps on the shaman the paladin should be forced to heal him, making frost novas and 4-5 secs of poly of the warrior possible.

Imo, take the shaman to 70 and CC-chain the pala along with a burst on the shaman..

go on the shaman, sheep/fear pally, nova war, go on shamy (dots+mana burn are needed) cs the shamy to avoid grounding/earth shok and shatter him, then pet nova+stun and got other shatter.

Mine team was doing this against Dps Pala/Warrior/Shaman
Rogue starts on pala stuns as much as he can, Warrior eats sheep,feer and blind, Mage and pet nuke Pala, pala bubles massdispel and easy kill the pala. Shaman only gets CS he is ignored coz Rogue, Mage and pet makes the pala buble in 20sek and if he eats Massdispel immidietly he is burned by all of us in 2 sek. We have won line this couple of time but with mine previous team now i dont play 3v3.

we won easy just by sheeping shaman and fearing pally while nuking the warrior then if shaman becomes immune to sheep i blind but usually by then warrior should be dead

LastBreath, u prolly faced a shamman who doesnt know what grounding totem means and hasnt earthsock in his bars.

Also, not to mention u did say the warriors eats feer (think u meant fear) which is sad. He should grounding/tremor, thats an awful strat. This strat is pretty much right, all out on shaman, he shouldn't be able to do anything, dispell freedom/sac, usually all it takes is the first CS and hes dead. GG
