Hi there I'm the Priest in the team and I've got a question regarding how to deal with a 2v2 team with a Resto Shaman and an Affliction Warlock.
I can tank the damage fine and keep my friend up, but being defensive is boring. Shamans at the moment seem to have no problem keeping themselves on 100% mana all the time, and the tremors are a bitch.
I'm still learning this class, since I've been playing a rogue for 7 years, but I'd say I'm getting the hang of it. 14 wins 3 losses (1 crash, 1 through the floor bug in dalaran). Well low rating anyway.
1) If I focus on LoSing, I can keep my friend up but that shaman out heals my mage.
2) Try to harass with mana burns. I might be lucky getting one or two in. It really doesn't have to take much skill in order to avoid them. Every now and then I can get a fear in or my friend can deep him, but GG he got 100% in 3sec again.
3) Help DPS on lock while CCing the shaman (poly, fear, MC, war stomp, etc)
4) A combination of all 1, 2 and 3.
No matter what I do, I can't wish for anything but a game draw here.
Anyone with experience with this combo who want to share some tips?
I've keybounded all abilities, got focus casts done, no problem keeping my mage up, I'm aware of incoming fears and trying to deal with them with fast Fear Wards. I've got an eye on Polymorphs and I get my fears in without clipping. I'm trying to harass with MC and mana burns. Using my inner focus for free casts. Keeping shields up and PoM, renew some time. Dispelling my shadowfiend if needed.
Looking forward to your reply

Disclaimer: I started playing this character during end of vicious season, I've played the games you see of our 2v2 without mic nor addons (sitting at another computer, and we practically only lost 1 game vs a resto sham/affli lock)
One major thing to improve would getting home and playing with mic and addons, but I can't see how that should be the factor that would make us win.
