Lucky bastard gets a healer. Presence of dedicated healer completely shifts battle.
Absolutely! And the presence of a huge dps cannon who can take some hits shifts the battle a lot, too.

So, you're complaining, because you can't beat an overwhelming force made up of a healthy mix of classes helping each other? I'm curious what group of 3-5 of any class you believe could beat that.
Quote:I duo'ed with a druid very successfully, but that's in part because warlocks are very easy to heal. High health pool, and limiited self healing abilities.
Exactly, they're quite good in groups.
Quote:Trying to dot doesn't work when stunned at ranged from 5 different sources, or jumped behind lines by rogues, and having no healer to make things better.
I don't know of any class that would do well when stunned at range from 5 sources or when jumped from behind by multiple rogues. Thankfully, this is true. Back to my "duh" comment.
Quote:a rogue isn't going to take advantage of a warlock life-tapping, taking himself to dangerously low hp (usually 50-70%) to regain mana, enabling rogues to one or two shot him?
You can drink, too, you know. Plus you don't have to take your life down that far before healing yourself. In PvP, you get out of combat a lot.
Quote:Mages can polly one and take care of the other.
Mages are free honorable kills if they're alone. They're better in groups where they can polly an opposing healer and then help with the dps while they stay behind partymembers, but the idea that they can "take care of the other" on their own is laughable.
Quote:Rogues essentially fight 1v1 in Multiplev1 situations whenever they can vanish away. There are other tactics too, but highly depedent on what mix you're fighting.
Rogues don't fight 1v1 in Multiplev1 situations. They're too vulnerable. They usually team together 2 or 3 on one. The idea is to kill somebody and vanish before anyone can get a dot or hunter's mark on them. As annoying as they can be, I can appreciate the teamwork it takes to pull that off.
