Priest / Rogue vs. Druid / Rogue 2v2 Arena Strategy

Priest / rogue vs. druid / rogue is an interesting fight. Initially I didn’t include this strategy in my guide simply because it’s so rarely seen. That said, the strategy is somewhat similar to the way priest / rogue should fight druid / warrior.

As far as target selection goes, the rogue needs to be on the other rogue. By doing this you basically force the other rogue onto you, if the other rogue attempts to go after your priest he exposes his back to you and you can just slam away at him.

At this point it’s basically a battle of mana. Your priest should be attempting to fear and mana burn the druid constantly, this keeps him from just sitting back and spam casting cyclone.

One of the biggest problems for this combo is getting past the spam poison cleansing that the druid is going to hit you with. If you’ve chosen to pickup vile poisons this might not be a big issue for you, however with my spec I don’t get it. To handle this I will put wound poison on my off hand and crippling on the main hand (normally it’s the other way around). This way I can spam shiv to keep wound poison up, which in turn keeps solid pressure since heals are reduced.

Additionally this will help keep crippling up, since the abolish poison will have to eat through several rounds of wound.
