im a mix druid im 31 resto 29 feral with feral gear and healer gems and enchants.
I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO BEAT STUNLOCK ROGUES!!
Anyone have suggestions?
i've a 55 druid, Balance.
i don't really have a problem with rogues, usually i do Barkskin when i get stunned, combined with moonkin armour, thats about 60-70% dmg reduction. thats the only way i know to get out of it alive.
If you can catch them before they get to you (spam pounce)m then you have a very good chance of surviving. Most stunlocks that I've fought are using a macro, and once you break their macro chain of attacks, you screw them over, making them fight you manually.
I would start with a pounce, then shred, then go to bear, and use faerie fire, demoralizing roar, laceratex5, mangle, and then if you need heals you can always bash them and use lifebloom x3, or cast nature's grace and walk away a distance while you heal yourself and then rush back in with a charge, or you can try going to travel form and run away till you're out of battle and then drink/eat before you shadowmeld.
It's always a good rule to keep a DOT on them, so if they try to vanish, the damage will unstealth them.
yea those all work quite effectively, yet out of all the battles i've been in with stunlock rogues i almost never live :S bad luck i guess or maybe i just suck ;) not really but anyhow yea stunlock rogues are a pain, best thing to do in my opinion would be to just let their stuns get over with, pop any CD's you may have(cooldowns) and then hope for the best, cyclone + regrowth, rejuv, and 1-2 lifeblooms does the trick nicely then bear form, bash, etc, try to keep them from attacking you as long as you can. (PS on a side note mace stunlock rogues are insane >.<)
Use a potion that increases your stealth detection. You can see them stealthing in to you. When I see one coming, I pop a free movement potion. They can't stun me or stop me. I root em, cast faerie fire (so they can't go invis), then tear them up.
Mace rogues are extremely frustrating.
As far as beating them though, it's really gear dependent - resil really helps. The second you pop your trinket, if you are not in bear form, get into it. They don't hit for very much, use demoralizing roar, and it will get mitigated pretty well in bear form. When you're not stunned, mangle and stack lacerates. These will tick while you're stunned. Hopefully thorns is up and you're doing even more damage to them while you're stunned. You'd be surprised at how much damage thorns does to a fast hitting opponent. Pop frenzied if its getting close and just try to weather the fight. These usually end up being extremely close fights. Whatever you do, if you think you have a break, don't pop travel form to run, because if they catch you in it and stun you...its GG.
Basically if they are not retarded and have good gear and they jump u first and stun lock you and you have no one who is coming to your assistance you are pretty much peaced out son
use your trinket at the right time. Use it just as they put kidney shot on you, and you have to be quick. bear form is your best strategy here, keep a bleed effect on him at all times, never bash and try to heal, its useless. They always use their trinket if u do that. If you happen to have natures grasp, that wont work either, they WILL cloak of shadows out of it. Best you can do is fight them without healing in bear form. And yes, its very gear dependent, i didnt have too much of a problem with rogues with my feral gear, but i had 381 resil. Anyways, thats about all you can do vs a rogue.
You need an anti-rogue macro.
You can root them if you faerie-fire them first, either Nature's Grasp or NS+Roots, if Natures Grasp is on CD.
If you figure out how to write it, please post it because I'd love a macro like that! 99% of the cases where a rogue gets to me, I have the same problem!
Of course macro's won't multi-cast so you need to spam it until all spells kick in.
