What do I do against druids?

Absurd range of spells
Roots
Stealth
Great Heals
Spammable instant cast spells
Cat form + fealine swiftness + sun fire

What do I do? I play a warlock tank, I can’t even quest because the world is infested with druids right now just one shotting/cheesing fights.

How are people fighting them?

You don’t engage them in the open. You immediately run away to los them. They often get cocky and follow you behind a corner. Get in range and stick on them if you can. Pop a swiftness potion if you’re really desperate. Not much else you can do there

You have posted many times about this one shotting druids…
I am here, as a druid, to learn this 1 shot…

As a 25 lock full bis as well, I can assure you that lock is top tier in 1v1.
If you are playing as meta, you should have around 1700-2000 hp. Drop meta form so you can cast fear. Your job is to cast corruption, curse and immolation whilst spamming drain life and keep fear on your target.
A druid can either out range you or out pace you, either or, just keep dots up and fear when in range. You can keep.your health topped up with haunt and drain life,
Send your void at the druid, or even sacrifice if you have to.
This shouldnt be a hard match up.

Tbh you’re playing one of the strongest 1v1 spec and playing the class that keeps dumpstering shadow priests and boomkins in the 1v1 tournaments.

I think it’s skill issue

Well if its a skill issue help me? I’m not here screaming NERF NERF NERF.

I am having trouble out in the world because one pops out of cat form, roots me then star surges me and if that doesn’t bring me down to 10% health they pop cat form and spam sun fire outside of my drain life range, so instead of sKiLl IsSuE…help?

Well what are you doing that you’re getting one shot? To kill a meta lock I have to burn my warstomp and pray I can kill in 15 seconds or I have to burn a grenade for kill or lose. What are you doing that you have no sustain?

What are you doing getting so close to a lock you need to war stomp? I’m talking about out in the world, a druid is in stealth cat form, a big purple beam hits me, I am now sub 20% health, and frantically look for them, they sit outside my drain life range, im rooted and dead. This is all less than 10 seconds

You die.

Hopefully next phase you’ll die just a little bit slower.

That’s called getting ganked by people that copy YouTubers lmaoo. If you get within master channeling range of a Druid you win that’s why they keep beating boomkins in the 1v1 tourneys. Nobody beats Boomkin in range. That’s the Boomkins thing.

Wait until they get nerfed, and they will, if it stays this way people will get rightfully salty. Especially with PVP being a potentially large part of the game, so players need somewhat equal access to it. (they did anything, but this would cement it in the minds of PVE sycophants)

Most classes have counters in SoD.

Counter list

  1. Warlock greater than all (not joking)
  2. Hunter > rogue
  3. Mage > warrior

Etc

You shouldn’t lose to a druid as warlock if you know what you are doing. Meta spec is bad vs druids. Druid’s weakness is fear. You fear them they insta lose.

The only way you should lose to them is if you are undergeared even in meta form.

You also need to carry swiftness pots as lock because your only weakness is mobility. You can swiftness pot to catch druids or hunters and dot them. They will die to your dots if you are geared.

In P2 you will have way way more damage and self healing also so druids won’t be any issue at all. You also have felhunter next phase to spell lock them, devour their buffs, interrupt them, dispel their dots from you etc.

You will destroy druids in P2 as a lock, if you don’t suck. A druid should NEVER beat a lock in P2 regardless of the circumstances.

Even before runes I beat R14 druids with a T2 lock without any issues. They can’t do anything about fear. They can’t trinket it or anything.

If you purge their innervate they are helpless also. It’s easy with felhunter.
