hmm k, so i run this setup... sorta, i only have four characters right now... working on a fifth account and leveling up a shaman for heals but he's only lvl 20



i use my druid as feral for the crit bonus and imp leader of the pack, for extra healing on hit, then on my 3 dks i run a full blood spec, major passive healing there also involved, use vampiric blood glyphs, and rune tap glyphs... deathstrike glyph as well.

In pve there's not much i cannot take out without a healer by my side, most times i dont even really need heals, with runetap on a 30 second cooldown, the whole group gets a tiny 30% heal every 30 seconds... swipespam with the druid is easy agro, mangle /lacerate maul cast sequence

in pvp deathgrip, chains of ice, brain freeze, strangulate, and heavy melee dps is outrageous for takin out targets... the only hard part i've found is if you get feared you get really screwed... but that's with any multibox team

positioning is paramount to your success, i've found macroing a /follow command into a couple of your attacks helps with facing and such, also binding to SHIFT- w,a,s,d to control your alts helps as well, that way when your druid is up tanking and you need to micro manage or just move the alts up a bit into the hit box you can... without going thru major pains.

My dks are on azgalor server, level 72 almost 73, and my druid is 74... now... on topic lol (sorry i tend to rant) I'd choose for a group like this not a paladin or a druid but a shaman, you already have one leveled i imagine, and chainheal + totems will round this team out quite nicely.... plus the small passive healing from totem, and chain heal, should be all you need for pve 8) good luck with it! (on a side note, wrath has tons of aoe splash dmg that would be all but impossible to heal with a paladin... go with some kinda healer that can heal aoe effectively :)

neither, a shaman would be better in this case (my current team) (its nice to be able to heal all of them with chain heal as they will all likely taking some damage being a melee class)

Yup I went with the Shaman. The paladin was on the wrong account so I could not use him. The druid is being used on my 5x druid team, so I wound up using the Shaman I had sitting around.

The first attempt of Ramps at 58 however, was less than spectacular......

you're doing ramps at 58, i suggest questing getting a few upgrades and getting to 60 before going gung hoooo on trying to do ramps... its still a pretty decent instance but at 58 you're GOING to struggle thru it :) i waited till 61 tbh :D
