As a warrior/healer, who should we be going here? I feel like it used to be rogue that was usually the kill target, but I don’t even know anymore. What’s the play here, besides /afk?
What healer you playing with?
The play is to join my crusade to make Sap unusable on players
all healers, since it’s mostly randoms from lfg. I’m assuming the kill target changes depending on the healer you’re with?
Also, I’m aware sometimes you have to change targets on the fly, due to certain situations, or misplays by yourself or the opposing team…but wasn’t sure if there was a general correct kill target nowadays.
If it’s a Frost Mage (most seem to be these days) I will go rogue since there’s no way to live through 2 blocks+rogue peels. Either way it sucks because both are super hard to kill.
I’ve played a lot of rsham warrior with my buddy. We farm rogue/mage when it’s not Kalvish or some other r1 rofl. I always play small purge and just spam purge the heck out of the mage and run him down with my warrior when I’m on DR. When Dr is falling off I drop an earthen or tide or whatever I can in anticipation of cc. Also always trying to play in a spot where the mage can’t easily poly or blink poly me cuz chances are rogue is gonna stun me so he can blink in and poly. My warrior plays bm trinket and big rally and kinda alternates using one of them before DRs fall off if I don’t have a cd to pre with.
For his opener my warr bladestorms when I get sapped if we can’t get combat before and then immediately tries to fear them in opener when they commit cd’s. Then he waits to see who if any of them trinket and follows up with bolt to really shut down their opener. After that it’s run the mage down. Healer should try to keep rogue in combat so he’s not getting free openers but don’t sacrifice positioning chasing the rogue. I’m flame shocking both and lava bursting like crazy while purging literally every time the mage has anything on him that can get purged. Getting alter is huge.

rogue mage is the type of comp that makes you question how much pure dps classes can actually heal / delay a game.

I think it has to be mage. Rogues have about 10 ways to leave a fight whenever they want. Vs frost mage good luck but youre still not killing the rogue. One thing i always ask my healers is to chase with me so i dont get kidneyed in africa by myself. Theyre opening themselves up to cc doing that, but you cant really avoid it vs rm anyways.
Idk that comp sucks, every time i beat one i know its because the players were terrible

my best shot is rogues… burst on stuns and ask for your healer to help you in the moments rogue los you
All very helpful guys. I feel like it used to be a train the rogue thing, but it seems to be the consensus is now train the mage (unless they’re arcane i’m assuming). Also, I haven’t been playing big rally or bm trinket so those are good ideas. I do always try to BS the opener, but lately i’m finding they try to sync the mages DB on me, while sapping my healer. Then i find they usually blow cd’s. I usually then gamble whether to immediately trinket into fear, or stun or disarm or whatever.
Shouldve seen wrath spr. Id take rogur mage 11/10 times rather than fight whats essentially disc with disarm silence.
But yeah modern rm immortal & unfun but id never go rogue personally unless i was a rogue myself.
