2v2 warlock holy paladin

[Deleted]

Hey,

I was wondering if warlock and holy paladin & warlock still is a good comp to play nowadays?
The thing is agains melee dps + healer the lock cant seem to pop some decent dps. He is affliction atm, his name is styks on lightbringer EU

Any tips or just forget about this comp and play with feral/warr/dk

It's a decent comp, but playing with a feral or dk would've been easier.

p.s.: your warlock has ok gear, so I guess the issue with low dps might be of a different origin.

It is definitely viable, I can't remember what win-loss I am on at the moment but it is around 75% if I can remember correctly (armory is in my sig). The only thing is that the games do take a long time and your Warlock does have to be very good at keeping damage high constantly. It is harder to play than most Paladin comps in 2v2 and you will have quite a lot of 47 minute games but the survivability is insane. If we properly turtle, we don't die. If you are needing tips, PM me.

Don't do 2s as a lock. All you're asking for is long games, you should be playing 3s/rbgs to get your weekly points.

If you play Mage/Lock which I did for a while, the games are VERY fun and you have a chance against most setups.

I have to go with this. Warlock/healer is almost unkillable, but it's very hard to get any kills yourself and you will likely only beat double dps teams or when the healer makes a crucial mistake. Oh and warlock/dps is not viable in 2v2 if you ain't just doing it for points. People will rape warlocks without a healer there to keep him alive.

i played this last week, went 6-1 to finish off points cap, but all the games against other dps/healer teams took 20mins+

It can work if played properly, however that being said any other healer would be a better choice due to them being able to put out more offensive pressure (via better CC, offensive dispels and or more damage) and because all other healers have absorbs or heal over time spells which will keep the dps team mate alive while the healer eats a long CC chain.

This ^ exactly, the sheer amount of CC & constant pressure that a warlock/mage combo can put out is insane & it makes it very easy for them to chain CC one enemy to bring down the other without interference.
