If you play 3v3, what set up do you use, and how do you go about beating the uber cookie cutter team, Priest Mage Rogue? What with Pain Suppression, Double Iceblock, and CoS/Evasion/Cheat Death, you pretty much have to kill them all twice.

Only if the single healer is a priest really, which is why only PMR is viable for them to solo, since the MR can pretty much survive by themselves for quite long.

Well, I think the combo we play is actually pretty good against them. We try and put alot of early pressure on them, even though we have 2 healers, I think the key for us is spam dispelling the warrior, trinket early to keep pressure up, then combine their first Ice Block with BOP/PS, which should force the priest to spam heal the mage, leaving the priest to burn mage or priest (not sure yet what's better).

We need more games though, only did 2 games vs PMR since I fixed my setup to be able to dispell faster <_<

Double melee is also quite effective at killing the priest through PS, depending on how good the mage is at saving him. Preferably with a druid healer to interupt the mage.

Double meele or hunter, druid, lock

Thing that sucks about RMP is that at any single given time, even if the fight lasts 10 minutes, the mage can drop one of you from 100% to <30%.

on my warrior I play rogue/warr/druid, when we meet RMP we have me staying on the rogue, trying to never go close to the mage while his frostnova is up, and have our rogue stick on the mage like glue, pretty much locks them down (apart from when they use cd's ofc, then we just have to get pressure back on asap)

oh and, for rogues, having a second offhand for mindnumbing points (3 poisons up) = awesome, vs the mage, 3sec cast poly ftl :p
