What toon do you drive from? and why

[Gomotron]

This thread is interesting to me because I am trying to get the hang of a 4 DK and Priest PvE group and I am having trouble with Stonecore. Part of the problem is the lack of CC with that group using 4 blood spec, so I am experimenting with Blood and 3 Frost for Hungering Cold as CC.

I am driving with the Priest, but now I am thinking that perhaps I should be driving with the tank. Food for thought.

I used to drive with the tank for PVE but have switched to healer instead. I feel it allows better movement for ranged dps when the aoe damage comes in.

I only switched after experimenting with a 4 dk plus 1 priest team a while ago and found it better than leading with a tank....felt more like a hunter and a pet arrangement with the dks being pets. Anyway, I've changed all my teams to be lead by healers now.

Everyone hates lag. Its even more important to us because to to the assist mechanic. Currently when the master tells the slaves to assist him you would think in a perfect world it would happen instantly since all five toons are located on the same computer. But the assist command goes to blizzard server then it jumps back to your toons clients. It's can sometimes take a relatively long time. So that's why you should drive with the tank so your tank can react quickly to adds or over zealous dps classes. At least in PVE instance scenarios. World quest content is usually pretty trivial. Zorbathegeek had a great isboxer FTL targeting guide to keep your toons focused on dpsing down mob in situations where the main may be tanking or off tanking different mobs at any given moment. Just google him and FTL targeting.
