Holy Paladin & SL/SL Warlock 2v2 part 2
Some more matchups for the Holy Paladin/SLSL Warlock combo in 2v2 bracket. Part 1 is available here.
vs Shaman/Warrior
There are not much you can do vs this combo. You can’t play the outlast tactic with them. Warrior with windfury & tremor totem, heroism and offensive dispells is a very hard counter for any Warlock team. Make a macro for totem killing by your pet.
/petattack [target=Healing Stream Totem]
/petattack [target=Windfury Totem]
/petattack [target=Mana]
/petattack [target=Tremor Totem]
/petattack [target=Grounding Totem]
Full dot the warrior, Immolate/Searing Pain Spam and well timed CC chain on Shaman and you have some luck. Fear, Spell Lock, Death Coil and Hammer of Justice are your friends. The paladin must help with the dps and use Blessing Of Protection offensively on the warlock to finish the warrior.
vs Druid/Hunter
It’s doable, but most fights will last very long. The warlock must DOT all 3 targets. The paladin should kite the hunter as much as possible, avoiding Aimed shot and Viper Stings. Your goal is to kill the hunter’s pet and don’t let him resummon one by draining his mana and applying Curse of Tongues on him. Once pet’s life is at 50%, the warlock should fear/spell lock the druid, the paladin bring it below a pillar and kill it. Nightelves Druids and Hunters will do the job much more difficult. 2 tips for the paladin: judgement of wisdom on pet, healing with low ranks when you’re out of mana will help.
vs Mage/Rogue
Once you realize that you’re facing Mage/Rogue, the paladin casts Blessing Of Sacrifice on the Warlock, so the paladin will avoid most of the cc mage/rogue can do. Use pet’s devour to dispell sheeps of you and your paladin and use Spell Lock on mage when someone is pretty low on health. The problem with this combo comes when they go for the Paladin and they are undead. The paladin should kite them as much as possible avoiding shatter combos, Vial of the Sunwell will help a lot as second healthstone, Hammer of Justice on rogue when mage’s CS is on cooldown. When it’s time to bubble, heal both to top, and if you have time pressure the mage with Judgement of Rightneousness and Concecration to make him play a little more defensively.
