I just joined an arena team with my friend, 28/33 priest w/ 10k hp and 430 resil. We're in the 1700's. I know he wont kick me, but I'm looking for ways to improve. Obviously, gear is one way but I need to learn strats with priests and strats against combos (ESP the X+druid). We went 1-5. I won the last game, I guess I'm learning a bit :D Very much appreciated guys. I'm really not used to this bracket :P.

EDIT: Make that 10.9k hp and 436 resil on the priest. I feel like a douche bag.

Thanks TONS Shao, rate up. I would like some more touch up on how to fight druids though. I can't stay close when he's power shifting with a warr intercepting and hamstringin' me. I just can't.
Shiv and crippling poison are your friend. As long as your priest is keeping his hots dispelled he's not going to heal up very quickly. Depending on his gear...
If he's well geared, your first finisher should be EA. If not, you can probably kill him in one stunlock. EA really injures a restro druid: all of their armor drops to crap. Only thing they can do to save themselves is shift bear, and if they're bear they aren't healing. When he pops that nature's swiftness thing I believe your priest can remove it too. Well played restro druids are tricky, but keeping up pressure on them (via EA and SnD) will make them fall.
I would recommend speccing for +20% movement impairing effect resist. Really helps (Fleet Footed + Meta Socket Gem + Surefooted).

Actually, to correct Shao on a point, go for the warrior before you go for his healer.
Your priest can mana burn his healer making it an extremely short fight.

The thing is, the druid knows how to LoS EFFING well (usually in this bracket). He just shifts into bear or travel form and bye bye mana burn. But then I guess the warrior would fall short on heals.

Exactly. The point is to keep the presure on both of them.

Will do. I'm the one that's holding the team back, the priest is just teh pwnzor. The millisecond a pally bubbled BAM mass dispelled off, he timed it before he even bubbled. He also predicts when the druid will pop out to heal to stuff a mana burn in there. Thanks for the info guys, gonna try using that later today when I arena.
Theo's right, I forgot about mana burn heh.
Understand this...Theo is ALWAYS right, I don't care what you think, he is.

I've never done arenas or any serious pvp, but I do play Druid and know that a Druid's mana bar exists and regenerates even when shifted into another form; wouldn't Mana Burn work regardless?
no, being in cat or bear form "removes" the mana bar, thus rendering mana drain/burn and viper sting useless. mana still regens, but is effectively replaced by an energy or rage bar.

Yeah, but that's the point with druid healers vs priests. The priests either force them to go bear/cat or lose all of their mana really effing quick.
It'll be even better post-2.3 when priests get 1/3 of their +healing added to their +damage. I can't effing wait for that.
