Priest / Rogue vs. Shadow Priest / Warlock 2v2 Arena Strategy

Yet again, not the most popular combo these days, but it still pops up every once and a while. The strategy here isn’t too complicated, open on the priest and just punish him. The only really important thing to remember here is to save your cloak for when your priest is really controlled.

Between all the fears, death coil, silence, and spell lock your priest is going to be hurting for casting time. You’ll want to try and save it to clear as many DoTs as you can and also keep yourself alive until your priest can cast again.

As the priest your best bet is going to be spamming instants every time you aren’t controlled. Prayer of mending, shield, renew are all important, all the while attempting to stay out of line of sight as much as possible to avoid other controlling spells.

Shadow Priest / Rogue vs. Paladin / Warlock 2v2 Arena Strategy

I like to think of this team as a nerfed Druid/Lock simply for the fact that they have a lot less crowd control and a pally can’t even kite half as well as a druid.

Rogue Arena Strategy
Alright well as soon as the lock sees your partner you just off the bat you know he’s going to sick his pet on him. So go in for the sap real quick, then go all out on the pally. Be aware of CC from the lock, and call out the pally’s bubble. Do everything in your power to down the pally, but also be cooldown smart. Once the pally is down take out the lock’s pet to give your partner a little breathing room.

Priest Arena Strategy
What I suggest doing is mounting up and getting to that pally to help with damage asap. Fear the lock and set him up for a blind if possible(you can’t have him sapped this game unless you take out the pet)get ready at about 20-30% for the pally to pop his bubble, dispel and hit him with a quick silence if you have the cooldown up. Once the pally is down still be careful of the lock, as they can be real rough on a rogue without both sets of cooldowns.
