Prot/Holy Pally or Prot Pally/Shammy Team

[uberhoser]

Love the site, got a silly question.



For a dual-boxer (2 accounts) I was thinking of doing the prot pally holy pally teamup for leveling.



But now I am thinking of Prot Pally - Healy Shammy teamup.



Pro/Cons ?

Heh, I just like the 2 box method.

No seriously...

2 pallys = more blessings/bubbles/plate, etc.

Pally/shammy = blessings/totems

Hmm, for 2-box, I think I would like the Resto Shaman over a 2nd paladin.

It seems there are less macri-management with a Shaman.
Earth Shield cast and forget
Healing Stream & Mana Spring Totem.
Wrath of Air = good for both of you.

In an AoE where your tank pally excel, a nice Fire Elemental is nice to have adding to the aoe damage.

But ofcourse a Shockadin spec, perhaps even getting Imp Sanctity for the extra 2% damage is nice.
A Holy Paladin don't have any agro reducing talent, except have BoSalv on them. And if you do, you might hate having to single Salv yourself, and single Wis/Light your tank pally.

There's not much micro with a holy pally either -- flash of light is made to be spammed.

I'd say it's your choice... Personally I'd go with shammy -- you have more options for respeccing, and you should also level faster (pallies are notoriously slow). Furthermore, you won't have to deal with the "forbearance" debuff. A resto shammy / prot pally works wonderfully, as does ele / prot, enh / holy, ele / holy, ret / ele, ret / resto, and if you don't mind melee there's huge synergy between ret / enh.

It's your choice, but I'd go with 2 different classes since you can get some pretty neat combos going with a simple respec.

Prot pally / Ele shammy..

..or Prot pally / AoE mage. I used to dual-box split-screen with a prot pally on the left and a frost/arcane mage on the right, and it was awesome having the pally tank a dozen mobs while I rained blizzard / frost nova / cone of cold / arcane explosion on the group. Food/water/CC/ports.. fun stuff.

OMG, I'm a noob. I hardly cast Flash of Light. My macro on my Shockadin is always HolyLight.
But maybe because my Prot Pally likes to be below 35% health in PvE.

I'm currently playing 1 Prot Pally, 1 Shock Pally, 1 Ele Shaman and 1 Resto Shaman while I grind Prot gear for the Shockadin pally.

I miss having 3 Shamans, but I won't get the 5th account until WotLK.

What I don't like about the 2nd paladin is it's melee (SoR) and I have to add extra effort to make sure the 2nd paladin is swinging his weapon on the mob. With a multi-mob pull, sometimes the current target is not getting hit.

Yeah....Concencrate at 20 though...

I love pallys though, my main Blackwater (elune) is ret.

I eventually want to have 1 of each pally spec. I hate tossing cash down the drain just to respec for Arena (Holy) and Raids(Ret)

Pally, lock, Hunter,shammy, mage at 70.

I just moved my 70 shammy to my new account.

So I could go Prot Pally/healing shammy and get a shammy for melee/elemental.

Or go Prot / Mage... and get another mage.

Or go Prot/Healy Druid.


And that is only if I start 2 new toons... I have a warrior/rogue/priest at low levels on the Main account.


So many choices ! So little time ! ?(

I started 2 boxing wow when the Xpac came out, My main as a arms warrior, my alt a resto shaman. Dropping Wind fury Totem with a heavy 2 hander on the warrior was good times! Ret could be fun too with a shaman.

*hides* before anyone complains about ret pally dps.

[Zaelar]

I'd go with shaman just because it's easier to help with dps since they can cast lightning bolt/chain lightning.
