4warlock and RestoDRUID? or 5Warlocks, for 5v5

[XtremeDream]

Hello, I am trying to figure out what is the best option for me to 5v5 with.....

These are my only options that I will give myself

1. 4 warlocks - and 1 Restoration Druid.
2. 5 Warlocks.............all with felguard pets
3. 4 warlocks and _____?your suggestion here?______

The reason i chose 4 warlocks is because it is easy to target and cast dots on the enemy.......I do not have to face the target, and warlocks are pretty tough in general
My Problem I am debating with is, should I back those warlocks up with a Healer? or another Warlock?

The reason why I am DEBATING with myself is as follows:

If I get a healer ( lets say a resto-druid or Holy Priest) The yes....I may be able to get heals HOWEVER, it is BASIC and common practice in ARENA 101 to USUALLY attack the druid or healer first......this is what everyone tries to do.......SO knowing that i am multiboxing, will it even be worth it to handle a healer and deal with all that threat? having to basically tank? WILL THE HEALER SURVIVE long enough for the locks to finish the job ? or is it not worth it, and should i just MAXIMIZE the dps?
p.s. I do not want to go 5 shamans, because i want to try something innovative

as it seams ur going for pvp ( very good to know). I think u will fail with 5 warlocks. If you want to multibox arena with 5 classes and want to play with a 5 dps setup u need all classes to have insane burst.

Like shaman's , they have all a 100% crit attack so if 5 persons attack an target ur almost sure that the target dies. Same with mage's, ur an hell of an rambo if u survive 5 pomp pyro's.

Having a healer as youre master, could solve things. But ur not as mobile as all the other druids since u have a group that's need to follow u. And lets face it druids got their pvp power from moving around real fast.



I'm not much in the pvp stuff anymore with multiboxing, made a warlord once. But thats all.

And thats the 50 cent i can give you :-)

There is a video of a 4 Warlock + 1 Priest boxer in assorted battlegrounds.
I recall specifically Alterac Valley and Eye of the Storm.

He did fairly well in his video, the composition has significant strengths, but it is also very vulnerable too.

Seduce and Fear share diminishing returns, as do the warlocks for those abilities.
Fear is one of the worst survival mechanisms in competitive pvp, and that's pretty much the warlocks only survival mechanism.
At the same time, you can dump several dots on people very quickly and would have Felguard interrupt stuns for a little bit of additional survival.
Any time you focus damage from multiple toons on one target they die relatively quickly.

Your biggest issue will be a lack of fear protection against those who ride into your midst and drop a fear bomb.
4x and 5x druid teams have been successful, and they suffer this drawback as well, so I'm not saying you cannot do multiple warlocks in pvp.

There was a post of a boxer who did 4x Demo Warlocks for PvE.
He leveled 60-70, basically in instances as a 4 person group, not even filling in the 5th spot... and this was before they nerfed all BC instance bosses, in the patch prior to the release of WotLK. For pve content, talented Health Funnel is very strong, even more so now with Glyphs. I'm not sure you could do heroics, as the pets would likely be one-shot.

The composition has potential, if you play to your strengths and are aware of your weaknesses.
