Tips wanted for teamcomposition + warrior/priest tips

[Protlover]

Just looking for some tips I may not know, here is a few tips I do know.



Unbind jump on your caster dpsers, use jump to cancel a healing cast on your healer when needed to save mana.
Hit the forward or back key to stop moving on slaves so your healer/dps are out of cleave/random aoe damage range.
Have a button set to tanking rotation and heal(most mana efficient one) and another one just to tanking rotation only so you can just hammer the same 2 keys all the time, one for when you need heals and are tanking, 1 for when you dont need heals.
Have shieldwall set to your high heal per sec key so you can hammer that a few times if things start to go bad.
Another way of doing it is have nothing bound to your tanking key and hit the healing keys while you tank is in a 1.5 sec global cooldown.



Once I hit 85, I will mainly be playing single box, only got 3 accounts so it's mainly for leveling purposes and dailys at 85.

I'm thinking of going prot war +disc priest+destro lock.

My team after the warrior/priest/lock will prolly be blood dk, resto druid, rogue. (Will prolly dual spec the druid to feral for easier quests).
Yeah I'm thinking this will be hard, hitting move forward on the feral/rogue to go past the target, then hitting interact with target to turn around again to hit the mob.

Meanwhile I got 3 draenei BM hunters to lvl.

Already got lvl 85 prot/ret pala+fire mage+ resto/ele shammy. I changed around a bit now and then, usually quested as retri/frost/ele and tossed a holy light(pala)/greater healing wave(shammy) in the pala inbetween pulls

A few things I do, Probably not ideal but it works for me.

1. I strafe with my healer to stop healing. Never really have to use it because my heals are on different then tank/dps.
2. I use strafe to drop all my casters off follow away from the target.
3. None of my heals are set to tank/dps buttons. Has made my healing very efficient. I have about 6 heal buttons for situations. Only really use two or three. This has also allowed me to also dps with the healer when heals aren't neccessary.


With my melee team, I never bothereed setting up stealth openers from behind for my druid/rogue. But, I would think you would want to turn the mob around with the dk and then use IWT. I'm not sure this will even be useful when questing. However, it might be great doing dungeons/elite mobs.

This probably doesn't help, and i'm not sure why i really typed it out.

Thanks, does help :)
So used to not turning mobs around on my tank part from on boss fights, I didn't consider doing it while questing, lol.
With healing you are right too I guess, it isn't wotlk any more where you are spamming heals 90% of the time. So it's probably better to have healing buttons seperated.

From the doubleposted topic:

Is a priest well suited for healing or is a druid or pally better maybe ?

It's, like always a personal preference. Allthough I dare to say that priest is one, if not the, easier healclasses to box.

Good AoE healing without having to take a new target.
/cast [@player] Prayer of Healing Sorts most AoE healing done on ranged members. (prefer this over targetting tank, since your ranged is probably closer to your priest then to the tank)

Prayer of Mending, smart heal. Simple and effective.

Strong tankhealing with a simple rotation.

Not much CD's to manage.

I also prefer priests over all other healers. They're good for boxing because they have the best AOE healing. Especially holy priests. And smite spam's smart healing is good enough for questing if you dual spec disc.

Priest goodies useful for boxers:

Prayer of Mending
Circle of Healing
Prayer of Healing
Spirit of redemption (can save you from a wipe on bosses)
Lightwell (laugh if you want, its very useful in instances)
