A good tip if your rogue is cc'd and their rogue is running away in cloak of shadows and you can't dot (obviously), this is a good time to us Sfiend on their rogue, as it will keep them from getting away in stealth. But if rogue mage plays perfectly, it should be about impossible to win unless you have a MAJOR outplay, like deathing blind/catching the rogue out of stealth twice in the game or something. In your example they definitely messed up their opener (a weak spot as you pointed out). Not sure why they didn't just cheap your rogue immediately with sdance instead of blinding, with cs (after garrote) poly on you at the start. This would 100 percent force your rogue to use trinket because he would die in the sdance kidney while you absolutely have to sit the orig poly. But anyway, good video!

[@Colyers]

Very helpful breakdown. I pause and rewatch a few times + took notes :)

[@Earpugs]

Thank you!

[@js230ful]

Can you share your bigdebuff settings?

[@Earpugs]

Completely stock except it has the "increase maximum buffs to 6"

[@TheAshanddad]

What a great video!!!!! Can’t wait till your next one …

[@zixme.]

Should we cancel some of our buff when we get sapped and then cleaned by the mage?

[@Otaconsps]

Great stuff! A tough matchup for my warrior/disc team. Will help for sure. Love to see ele/destro next please!

[@zepho100]

Ele/destro is hard yeah. Disc and feral is rough too

[@dirkpritzkow5090]

Thx for that guide, great work👍

[@Bennyboy087]

I dont arena that much at all, never did it in retail tbc/wrath and im getting into it now to get my ret 1800 rating librams. sitting at only around 1400 right now. What is the UI/WA/Addon that is tracking your opponents CD's like trinket, blind etc?

[@Earpugs]

I cover my entire UI in this video, I also cover my omnibar setup kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJfbn5pmrK-Grqs

[@sidamakidtinman814]

Amazing content! Keep up the good work!

[@LightBrand]

Last time I played Rogue all my stealth abilities takes like half the energy to cast so you barely have energy to follow up after you open with your stealth abilities normally. Then when you shadow dance you can like ambush twice and then you're out of energy to even eviscerate or did I remember it wrong?

[@Earpugs]

Dance is big dam

[@maestro105090]

I'm a feral - and I play feral/disc... I can't for the life of me figure out how to counter RM opener. Most often I'm the kill target bc I cant be sheeped, and I feel like I trinket the wrong cc's against this comp all the time. I know this is a pretty wide open question, but do you have any specific tips for feral/disc vs RM? Thanks

[@ericrowe2533]

I don't have any advice but as a feral disp in TBC and then WOTLK i find this comp way harder in wotlk. Previously you could wait for rogue to open then pounce rogue and load them up with bleeds to force them onto their backfeet - but now a good frostmage seems to have way more ability to pressure my priest, forcing me to open and then it all goes downhill from there. Big sad.

[@tylerkujawa345]

I'm having the same problem friend since we can get sapped now too its thrown off how i approach rogues and i have not found a new consistant way to counter rogues as a Feral/disc

[@Earpugs]

It’s not easy. The main goal is to bleed the rogue and get their trinket out of the way so they can be full feared or cloned. If the rogue never trinkets or cloaks I don’t think you have a good chance of winning.

[@xiverz4320]

don't get found, wait for rog to open ur priest and do this sequence on rog... cat charge, pounce, rake, bear, bash, cat, mangle, tf, shred, rip, clone, bear his trink or go restealth behind pillar he might trink bash/pounce and blind u -> trink and insta bear, wait for ur priest to get full fear on rog, then ur safe and can look for restealth, if u can ever open rog a second time easy win

[@maestro105090]

@@xiverz4320 that makes a lot of sense!

Great video man! What is that addon that tells you how much shield you have left?! /beg

[@Earpugs]

Thank you! It’s a weakaura called nanshield wotlk

[@Alpenmagier]

would love to see more 3s how to counter for example LSP

[@Earpugs]

Great idea, I will be doing this with 3s in the future for sure.

[@ignaciocampos5719]

[@Earpugs]

OmniBar

[@nurfer1]

what kind of addons you are using?

[@NOHITJEROME]

[@Earpugs]

Go off king

[@HasXXXInCrocs]

Boomy/ele Shaman? Their damage potential is insane. Ive seen a boomy do 4.5k DPS

[@peterpham240]

LOS starfall. They literally do not have any stuns or CC's in this comp. Just a root on a 10 sec cd.

[@Earpugs]

It’s ok if played correctly. UA lock boomie is better. But there’s a team in glad range right now as that comp. They stream sometimes twitch.tv/moonfirebeam
