Mage/Priest/Rogue

VS.

Priest/Shaman/Warrior

This fight needs to be won fast, as it can get very out of hand with two offensive dispellers, and a WF totem spiking your Mage's health. Start by Sapping the Priest, hit tremor during sap, Fear the Priest right after the sap is over. During this time PI needs to be up, and all cooldowns need to be used. Two offensive dispels means without pressure PI and Icy Veins will be wasted fast. The Priest will be forced to use his trinket at this point unless he is Undead, either way Blind him and force a trinket, if the Shaman isn't dead after your second Fear the fight is most likely lost. Spam dispel over and over.

I play the other end of this(sham/war/priest) and I was wondering if you could help me a little bit. Our problem is establishing initial pressure. If we can get pressure in first 5-10 seconds we win. But do you have any advice on how to do this? Should I Purge right away on mage or shoot a couple lb and hope for a crit if i can get a chance by breaking rogue for a sec? and do you have any advice on dodging the saps(for my priest).

Whats up Deeta, my team usually beats this time by sitting on the priest. I focus the shaman, counterspelling him and I cc the warrior as best as I can. Eventually we set up our burst and kill the priest.

So we're getting raped by this combo and it's b/c they have an enh shammy, not a ele. As the priest, if I get close, I die w/in 10 secs, the shammy ESs everything our mage tries to sheep and the warrior pummels all my heals while the shammy purges all my buffs and hots. We beat them once by pulling the shammy into the middle and killing him, but then they would never stop pillar humping after that. Everything about CSing shammy basically doesn't apply. They 3 shot our mage once and he has 434 resil. They FF me every time, but if I stay back the mage dies, if I go in I die. We have found in general, enh shammies and BM hunters are the main reason we lose.

try juking earthshocks and pummels by cancelling casts.

Why would you juke a earthshock?

Theorycraft. Haven't faced enh. shammy combo, but enh. shammies are pretty easy targets for rogues so I'd burst shammy (with full stunlock, vanish-repeat), and cc priest (blind first if your priest not close to fear, he will trinket, then sheep/sap (if lucky)/cs/fear (if blinded first). Shammy will be long dead by then. Keep warrior away with novas. Your priest needs to not pillar-hump (except to los their priest) to make sure your mage has time to cast. If shammy is not stunlocked, fake FB required to take care of Earth Shock.

If anyone tries this strat, report its success here please.

Very easy combo to beat... Focus the shammie fear blind sheep and counter spell the priest while u get the kill. Of course priest helps with dps on the shammie to get more pressure going.
