View Full Version : Thinking of one more RAF team...

It seems like every time I finish leveling a team to 60, I have time to level one more team before RAF expires...

So far I've leveled one Priest/Mage/3xHunter team, Level-Granted another P/M/3xH team, and I'm about to finish leveling 5xShamans. I'll use level grants on my 5xPallys, one or two of whom won't make it all the way to 60, but I will have several. But between getting better at questing and spending more time at home taking care of my grandfather, I think I might be able to get another team at least close to 60 in the two weeks before RAF runs out. I was thinking either Druids or Warlocks, but I wasn't sure about Druids and ranged damage, and I didn't think I wanted to deal with soul shards on multiple chars at once. I'm also getting slightly sick of 1-60 content, so I'm kind of tempted to just head out into outland with my Shamans. So here are my questions:
1. Is it worth leveling Druids? I'll already have priests, pallys, and shamans for healing, and pallys and BM Hunters for tanking.
2. Are there any other classes I'm going to wish I had when I'm putting together higher-level groups? I've already got one rogue at 60 for opening lockboxes.

I did all ten classes to 60. Man up and do one more. :D

All-druids is an amusing team makeup, and easier to level than some things. Warlocks and mages are fun. The more, the merrier...plus you can taunt people with only 1-2 RAF teams.

Priest + 3 warlocks
Pali + 3 priests (sant aura + holynova!)

( including the one that it about your starthe has RAF. its best to use up as much RAF time on leveling 1-60 as much as possible and grant levels. once the RAF expires, im sure he'll do more with his team.

Try and get as many teams as you can. I love my druids! With that team you can have a tank, dps and healer. Plus just fun world pvp if you do that kind of thing.

One thing to think about. Blizz is know to either overpower or nerf classes from time to time. The more classes you have the more advantage you would have down the road. After I get all my current teams to lvl 80 I plan on doing another RAF and getting the rest of the classes taken care of.

Well, DK's take one night, and you can almost hit 61 by the time you're out of the starting area when you're using RAF. No reason not to take advantage of the RAF

Oddly enough, I really don't like my Boomkin team, or really any of my caster teams. I guess I just like to get in there and start doing damage, not waiting for casting.

The boomkins are nice though.........they do some serious damage really quickly.

One thing to keep in mind is that in the future there will be more hero classes that start at high levels, and its highly probable Blizzard will offer ways for people to roll alts that automatically start at high levels as well once they have a level cap character.

of course if you plan on playing all these teams to max level then its great to RAF new teams, but if you mostly want to play endgame (PVP, arena, raids, heroics, farming gold, achievement points, whatever) then its usually better just to focus on a single team. I have 3x teams - one at 80, and two at 60. I leveled the two 60 teams back last August during my RAF period. Not a single one has gone past level 60 in my alt teams, and I doubt I will ever, ever touch them again. There is just so more you can do at 80 that you possibly can't get it all done in any reasonable daily play time, so I never even have a chance to level my alts.

Druids are hilariously fun. 5x starfires is guaranteed knockout. Elites don't stand a chance. 15x trees + 5x hurricanes for PVP is hella funny and almost godly. AV is hilarious. I sometimes equip my barov's peasant caller.. but it sometimes slows down my computer with all the Allies and trees and peasants all standing at galv..

I won't lie. they were also my slowest team to level. they are currently at 70. I have 5 main teams. 3 mages + priest plus tank(pally or dk), 5x shamans, 4x BM hunters and druid, 5x druids, priest + 4x locks. shamans are 80 and the rest are 70. lock team is currently 67.
