I’m sitting here listening to DJ TeeBee & K – The Deeper Side of Drum & Bass. The remaining posts are very difficult to write. Warlocks, Warriors, Shaman, Hunters, each and every one will feel like the rock to your scissors.
Defeating a Warlock as a disc priest is alot like defeating a shadow priest. The main difference is the shear amount of running and line of sight you’ll have to do. I think defeating a warlock 1 on 1 is a trial and error training. At worst you’ll learn to not freak out at the shear amount of fears that will hit you. At best, you’ll pull out on top every once in awhile.
I had the privilege of having an affliction lock friend to practice with. He later went SLSL for spell eating puppy(SEP) goodness and the duel dynamic changed. All my old tricks for survival are nearly useless against a SEP. Here are some pointers to help keep you, and your team alive against warlocks.

Rogues, the bane of our pvp existence. Fighting and defeating a rogue in 1 on 1 combat will possibly be the toughest battle in your pvp career. Because it is the toughest, you’ll also jump for joy when you finally defeat one 1 on 1. Here is a small list of pointers for 1 on 1 fights. There are very few instances where I take on rogues one on one. I am closer to 30% success rate 1 on 1 versus rogues.
Be ready for a 5 point combo hit. You must do your best to maintain shield and renew on you at all times. Rogues are burst melee dps and as such can deliver multiple 1000s of damage in 2 seconds.
Reflective Shield, Focused Will and Blessed Recovery all help. BR returns critical damage, FW reduces damage taken. Reflective Shield when properly geared will return 1000 points of damage back to the rogue.
Use Fear every time you can. While feared heal yourself with flash heal and reapply renew and shield if down.
Try to keep power word pain applied. Your key to defeating a rogue is to outlast them. Remember they can’t re-stealth if dotted.
Above all, keep moving, try your best to Continue Reading
