This really skilled setup:

Affliction lock/Shadowpriest/Druid

I play a warrior and when they nuke me I can survive long if I spam spellreflect and healthstone, we play warrior/tankwarlock/paladin.

2175~rating.

I nuke the warlock cause he's ua and 0 defense but then I get nuked in berserker stance and take like 100000 DPS. I switch to defensive and intervene paladin to go behind los and get healed but then they put dots on everyone and its impossible to outheal, I can barely damage cause i'll get nuked to fuck in berserker stance. This setup annoys me so hard.

Get on druid, stay in battle stance (Intercept when necesary), put 5 sunders up, get a freedom, kill it. shouldnt be too hard. then go from there.

Getting on the lock means the druid can sit back and cyclone + heal freely. you don't want that =)

Yeah, but then the warlock can fear and shadowbolt freely wich means even more DPS.

Your Lock needs to chainfear/cot the warlock,cot/dc the shadowpriest,interrupt him/cot/pummel.kill the druid.

This setups is really tough and only works when you lock down their dps long enough,because the druid will cyclone/hot'n'run , the warlock will make you mess up with fear/cot and the spriest will deliver the burst dmg.

At least thats how we do it.

/edit: I play ms,resto shaman,lolguard lock

No it's not. 2s and 3s aren't balanced so that any compo can beat any other one. In this case, you need SR. You can use SR. There's no sign that the change is going to go through before the end of the season, so you might as well do either of the following:

a) Take advantage of it, and stand a chance at winning.
b) Don't use it, lose everytime, and stfu about it.
c) stfu altogether.

Blizzard intends to do alot of things. They plan on fixing a milion of bugs and balance issues, it doesn't all happen, just like that change may never happen. If a blue posted that they intend on possibly nerfing mace stun in a future patch, would you stop using maces right now?

Agreed. You can't win unless you get SR. BTW, going on the Druid is the worst decision in this case.

The gear swapping change isn't going in until WotLK, so use it while you can. Of course you can choose not to and lose.

whats the current resist cap? I know the 60 cap was 300, so im thinking 375ish for 70.

I do not have the option to get BT resist gear yet, I get 200~ something with greens, but my crit & AP are gimped so hard its not funny. Anyway, I got 3 different answers here. SR gear, kill the druid and dont kill the druid. :/

Going after a good druid will make you lose. You can get SR over 300 with greens. There is no way you will catch a good druid and moreover, you can't leave an affliction lock and shadow priest open.

Well, the druid is mixed ideas. I do so well with druids since I have a stormherald, and stuns inbetween their forms really fuck em up. so i'd say dont get on druid unless you are runnin around with a mace.

And i've faced some of the best druids my battlegroup has to offer, as long as you know how to not get kited by them, then youre fine

Goodluck preventing the druid from getting away while being nuked and feared.

If he was trying to solo them then it would be a problem. Luckily he has teammates.

if you go for nuking the druid, the priest mana burns your healer

if you go for nuking the spriest, the druid cyclones and HoTs while his dps is bursting.

There is no easy way to 'win' this setup. SR is really the way it needs to be done. If you dont have SR, kill that spriest fast.
