View Full Version : Have 5 level 60 shamans, second class?

So my veteran account has a level 60+ of every class except warrior (no desire to ever play one)

So I'd like to abuse RAf a bit longer and level a group of 4 of some other class but I can't decide which class. I dont really want to mix and match as that gets more complicated than I'm willing to work with, so here are my thoughts:

Warlock - already have a 64 warlock and it seems like warlocks would be pretty easy to multibox with, plus having up to 5 tanks is awesome

Hunter - same as warlock, I have a 60 hunter already but I got bored of him 2 years ago and haven't played him since, not sure I want to play 5 hunters, plus managing ammo sucks a lot more than just hitting drain soul to create a soul shard periodically

Moonkin - my former main is a level 70 S2/S3 feral druid, I could respec him moonkin and level 4 moonkin druids - I don't really like playing as Tauren though, and not sure how the synergy is with 5 druids (doesn't seem as good as shamans, warlocks, etc)

Mage - have a 60 mage but can't stand mages, this one isn't really an option

or perhaps, 3 warlocks and a shadow priest (already have a 60 shadow priest and 64 warlock on my main account, but the warlock looks better and is better geared so it might be easier to create a new shadow priest - I hear 4 warlocks + shadow priest have amazing synergy, and the priest could heal for instance runs

Any opinions from anyone? I just want to get 1 more team to level 60 before RAF expires.

Edit: And if anyone suggests warlocks + priest, should I control the priest or one of the warlocks? That would depend which toon i use from my vet account.

2 locks, 3 SPriests.
Make sure to have either "pew pew", "lazerbeam" or "facemelti" in your guild tag.

Using your own assessment It seems to me you have more of a liking to do a warlock shadow priest group.

If i was running that setup I would have the priest as the main. I figure it would be easier to drive the different class through mouse clicks other bindings, whilst having the remainder of your group performing exactly the same.

I have one team of pally+ 4 shaman and I was considering running a spriest + warlock team but I can't seem to face levelling another team.

I keep getting to the point where I think - but what would they enable me to do that the pally + 4 shaman team wouldnt.

Then again - I start to thinking that I would like to RAF another team so I can gift up a shaman to 60 so I can have the option of 5 shaman.

As for warlocks, consider that dots seem to be a mixed blessing/curse. Resilience reduces dot damage, dots can't crit, dots don't benefit from haste, and dots seem to be of the nature that you can heal through them. I love that you don't have to be facing your target to put them on which seems to be a big mb benefit and you can put a heap of hurt on fast (that hurt doesn't take effect fast, it is just put in motion fast). Locks can be UD and that gives you some fear protection. Having a priest somewhere in the mix gives some fear protection. From reading around it seems affliction doesn't scale well and people are not sure if the +10% damage bonus they just gave it + the haunt bonus will be able to put it on track or not. As a thought... having multiple locks means you can put multiple haunts on different targets all maxed out with dots.

I am torn myself between druid or hunter or lock. I am leaning more towards hunter or lock. Seems like hunters are getting good damage buffs and pet buffs and getting to distance buffs and they already do some good damage.

I am a bit confused how moonkin will be able to do the pewpew. Starfire is only hitting for 670 to 790 (3 sec cast/2 per six sec) @80 before spelldamage. Lightning bolt 715 to 815 (2 sec cast/3 per six sec). It must be that starfire is getting +120 percent from spelldamage whereas lightning bolt is getting +79.4% (it will be 104.4% in wotlk). I guess it takes more than can be gotten into here and take us off track. I would be a bigger fan of druids if i saw how they would be able to have the pewpew.
