Is Ret/Rogue viable in 2s? Advice please.

[javic09]

My buddy and I have been playing this comp and struggling. Is it viable or should I switch to
mage to play with him? If it’s viable could you help me understand what our go’s should look like and/or general strategy?

Some specific struggles we have been having:
Openers - I sap the off target and stun our kill target right away to keep them from running, but by the time my ret gets there my stuns are over. He’s trying to stay out of combat so I can get sap, but just ends up having to stay too far back.
Resets - we can usually get some good cds out of the other team in the opener even with saving wings, but then my ret has difficulty getting away to heal up (mind games from priests is especially rough). I can cloak and vanish, but I don’t know how to help him get a good reset.
In general it seems like we can get through a lot of their cds to almost kill, but they just usually get through ours faster.

Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

Viable depends on your rating goal. It's weaker than most of the meta comps.
