reboot once more, question about level differences in lfg

[David]

Hi again lads,

Seeing people running the pala + 4 dk team I`m thinking of comming back since this team doesn`t need RAf to roll.

However my paladin is 84 atm so I`m wondering if I can still queue for random dungeons with a to high lvl these days.

Otherwise I have a 61 druid out there to heal as well when needed. Would be cooler to include the paladin and heal 4 dps dk`s running instances.

Thanks in advance.

David

Sorry, you will not be able to use /lfd to queue. It will tell you that your paladin is too high or the other 4 are too low.
You'll have to do it the old-fashioned way of running to the instances!

You won't be able to random queue with a high level, however you still have a few options

IMO, just roll the 4 until your high enough to run with your paladin. I've been working on 4 new DKs, and you'll find rather quickly that DKs are simply very OP until close to 80. I went from 59-64 last night and dual-spec'd one as blood to tank. Random queues are nearly instant since all you need to fill is the healer, and after running 6-7 instances last night, every healer loved it and most wanted to run another one. The healers were not even close to being pressed for mana.

Unless you're planning on keeping the druid long term and want to level him as well, I wouldn't take the time to set up macros and healing for him as the LFD is very fast. Also, you'll have next to no downtime as you can be pulling the next set of adds with next to no worry while your healer drinks and loots everything.

Another option is to queue with your druid, have him leave the group and invite your 84. However, your druid won't level with the team, so that can only be done a limited number of times.

The last option is to random queue and vote kick the healer and put your 84 in. :)

Why not level up 4x dk + druid to 80? You don't have to rely on anyone, yet alone that 4dk's have such an output that you won't have much to do healingwise. Swap out druid at 80 for the pally, and off you go.

Been thinking it over for a few weeks now. Running 4 dk`s will be easy groups with a random healer but then looting will suck. Running 5 dk`s will be harder in dungeons but more pew pew in BG`s. Sad part with that is that I need to complete quests on one more char.
I can also bring out my druid but it sucks to make a setup for him just for leveling :-(

I was wondering if people are doing dungeons/heroics with the 4xdk 1xpal setup? Was hoping it would be an option as well but with no CC that seems to likely. Anyone doing it tho?

I would level them with the druid. I use a dk tank for one of my teams im leveling and i never use cc. Of course, the team is only level 69 right now. I do a mix of quests and instances. You coukd spec the druid resto and wrath spam for free when questing. One blood and three unholy dks with a druid healer should have no problem doing instances. If you are really worried about cc i guess you could make focus macros for the ghouls - they could occupy something long enough to chew through a group of mobs.

The thing I`m worrying about is missing the CC in cata dungeons/heroics. Getting to cata content shouldn`t be a problem at all I think.
