Hey so my partner and I are running spriest rogue. I’m new to spriest but it’s been very fun. I’m having a difficult time against dks especially in arena.
Was wondering if anyone has a guide or tips on how to beat that comp. Spriest sub rogue vs unholy and pally.
Any tips appreciated so I can git good!
The rogue kinda handicaps you during that matchup at the same skill level you probably shouldn’t win it just off the class matchup alone.
you will lose nearly every game to DK if they play correctly. its called the DK tax. just take the L and move on
Sap DK pop all CDs and open pally he bubbles opener at around 40% HP, predict the bubble and MD into a silence and Pally is dead.
If sap breaks fear dk, he lichbornes now shackle dk he trinkets now blind DK.
Just gotta perfect opener.
Very rogue dependent and you have to get ready to run away the second you get stuff, but dks and paladins have a million answers to everything (2 sacs for sap and blind, bubble, am, bop for literally anything your rogue does to the dk, then the dk has an extra fear trinket on top of being immune to rogue stuns for like 15s while basically ignoring all your damage for the duration of ams and amz) while just rotting you both down with diseases and unholy blight and then theres garg
Ok yeah its unwinnable
You mean the double op plate they are against hamstrings them
You are going to struggle with them and there is no way around it really. You can try to keep up abolish disease to reduce some of the incoming damage and fake his interrupt so get some free cast off. They are tough to deal with
Any decent dk just cancelauras lb in the same keybind tho
That’s fine the paladin should have been dead in the opener
I feel like this kind of theorycrafted script works great against low-rated dk hpals and then you come across a vaguely decent one and your priest is just dead in 2 globals
I eman double DPS rogue comps win with pressure, it depends how good they are at their opener…
How is the priest dead in 2 seconds of DK is sapped? He either eats the sap or trinkets into a blind while you’re stun locking the pally.
Pally either trinkets KS into a full silence which forces bubble into a MD.
You have to all in the pally win or lose.
No one is saying priest/rogue should win 100% of the time lol.
It all comes down to their opener.
If he trinkets and just max range grips/chains the priest into strang for example, which is what i would do, then the opener is already not a kill. Sure the rogue can run all the way over to the dk for a blind, in which case all pressure is gone off the kidney, and the paladin can just come out of kidney and bop the blind off.
Not to mention the dk can just gnaw either the vt cast, or the rogue running over, or a million other things
Im not saying the rogue/spriest cant win, just its about 90-10 in favour of the dk team assuming equal skill
Re-roll into one of the four viable arena specs/classes.
This thread is about how to win…
We all already know they are at a disadvantage I’m giving him a way to win.
You have to force bubble before the sap ends.
The paladin is 100% the kill Target.
Whats more likely tho is a good amount of time the rogue gets dnd’d out, or the dk gets combat on priest other otherwise stalls the opener, or the paladin kites out during the sap because it’s blade’s edge or some other bull 
, and then the spriest rogue team is already basically screwed
Yeah just pray the dk doesn’t have a trinket equipped and that the paladin has a few key abilities like hand of protection unbound 
Like the dk runs at priest, gets sapped. Waits til the priest rides past, trinket, strang, chains+grip. Paladin pops out and presses sacred shield or something on dk. What would you do as the spriest/rogue?
In your scenario the priest and rogue have 0 CDs lmfao…
No, not at all. I’m happy for the priest and rogue to use everything in their toolkit. So what would they do in the above situation?
Blind DK step vanish open pally.
The pally is kill Target.
I even told you that, you’re gonna SS the DK rofl??
That’s great news, the priest only needs to dispel 1 time to clean the pally.
DK is blinded pally is in a CS and priest is now on pally.
Btw, if your rogue hasn’t opened on my paladin in about 2 globals after this scenario i’m going to then press icebound fortitude. I’ll have plague and scourge struck your spriest a couple of times at this point, if he hasn’t already dispersed i might just consider erw’ing and that’ll be enough rp for garg and at that point have fun.
