Arathi Basin Strategies and Tactics

[Brista]

I like the rogue option as lemekim mentioned.  Send 2 stealthed. 

When the first rogue starts tapping the flag, and the drood pops out of stealth, the second can gouge him and sprint for the flag (since he's not DoTed), then the first sprints to the druid and blinds, then vanish and cheapshot between DoT ticks after counting to 9 seconds. 

This seems to assume that the druid is going to attack. What I think MongoJerry is talking about is a druid who simply wants to tag someone with a dot then get back into stealth

Let's suppose you're the second rogue, waiting to Gouge the druid. Your first warning is the big white tail of the moonfire hitting, followed by a druid slipping into Cat and using Dash to gain distance so he can re-stealth. Even if you immediately Sprint you still won't catch him and that leaves Rogue 1 dotted and Rogue 2 chasing. If you stop chasing and come back to take the flag the druid can come on back and dot you in turn.

If he uses targetting macros (eg /tar concillian) or types the command he can even dot you while running away from you, Moonfire reaches 40 yards behind him as he runs

As for fear that has a much shorter range and the druid never needs to come within range of a priest or warlock to perform this type of defence

OK, he'll slip up eventually and you'll get him between you but I can certainly see how a sole druid could make life hard for a team of two or three

I'd quite recommend recruiting Hunters if you can't find Druids. Hunter's Mark, Flare, Track Hidden, Traps, Wyvern Sting and Concussive Shot are all good counters to this defence

Also a Hunter can perform the job in a similar way to the Druid. Find some nice out of the way hideaway not to close to the node, possess the pet, stealth the pet, then go down and watch the node from stealth. All sorts of methods are then possible to interrupt people including simply whacking them with the cat which then runs to a false hiding place, so they follow the cat back thinking that's where you'll be and you're not there, it's merely a Stay point you've set up for the cat. If they all come looking for you, Feign Death is really effective because while most players are wise to Hunters feigning during a fight, no one checks random dead bodies lying around the place. Shadowmelding Hunters of course would be great for this role

Alternatively one character to chase the druid off (eg a Warrior) and one with Dispel to take the first Moonfire, dispel the dot and capture the node while the druid is busy
