I dont know.. I feel like Im crazy..
I got a main team and a sub..
- war/3x hunter/priest
- pally/2x esham/arcane mage/disc priest

I made a 5x herbing druid team (i do play a little n WQ, so got engineering as 2nd prof for loot-a-rang)
Then i made a 5x mining druid team

Now I am making 1monk/4druid for some farming.. not gonna WQ on this team..

Do you guys do the same? Or is it me that is out of my mind??

My farming team is all the same race, class, and sex. Its just so much easier to keep the camera lined up exactly if they're all exactly the same.

My goal is 22 teams at 120. I am very close.

I think everyone ends up making alts. The best PvP team won’t be the best pve team and the best farming team is also probably different. 5x Druids come close to al of these but still get squeaked out.
I’m currently working on a melee team but the biggest issue is I kind of want a paladin tank, yet that paladin is tied to a different team and the hivemind mount can only be linked to one team.

What is your melee team?

I've always hated the druid class mechanics. Especially for boxing because of shifting forms. Especially now since i dont know any way to mash the "form x" button without it cancelling the form on a second activation. I mash it a few times because sometimes a slave or several will still be on global cooldown and not shift correctly. I've set states on my bars so that the assigned key for the specific form i shift into os empty after changing into the form and mashing it wont cancel the form, but it has made my bars a bit more complicated than i want them to be. Many years ago on my rogue i remember an option in the settings that allowed you to enable/disable dropping stealth if you mashed the key. I think they removed it when they did the huge overhaul to the interface settings.

Anyways, what im saying is that i would just play 5 druids all day every day, but it's one of the least enjoyable classes to me mechanics-wise and aesthetics-wise. Sadly i feel like this is also the only class that can do anything and everything in the game as 5-box. And stealth to boot. With the moonkin glyph i can enjoy Balance without getting sick, i love DoT specs, but without going bear on one of them you cant do everything.

So instead i generally use my 5xHunters for world stuff, and my 5xpaladins for instanced stuff. I have every class x5, but stick to those two teams for most everything atm, especially with how much work needs to be put into alts these days. I enjoy playing same class teams, at the very least 4x1 teams. I wish i could stick to just one team, it really bugs me that i dont, i wish i liked druids.

With achievements, reputation, BFA necklace, ect being the way that they are, there's no way i'd split my playtime between several teams. Two at most with a little swapping here and there to test and play around with things and also leveling allied race combinations.

It’s a struggle between paladins and Dk’s.

Paladins can rock it in pve and bypass mechanics with bubble/bop and might be able to do a +10 mythic is geared really well with favorable affixes.
for PvP though they don’t have a gap closer. So while you can live for a while they’ll be doing no damage if they can’t reach the target.

on the flip side you have dk’s with that many death grips at your disposal nothing is getting away. Their self heal death strike while good I’m not sure if it’s enough. Additionally for PvE content it has me concerned, the interesting thing to note though was a group of 20 blood dk’s cleared 7/12 mythic nyalotha on their first day of trying.... (they did abuse a specific essence to give them crazy hp) but it goes to show it has potential.

my paladins are 120 and dk’s in the 70’s.

wow.. didnt expect that much content lol..
but its good.. at least im not the crazy one.. i got druid for herbing cuz they dont need to dismount.. i got them for mining cuz i could shapeshift and do away with the 'mount casting' but then i found out bs can make stirrups to gather while mounted.. but well.. already 120..

my 3rd, monk + 4 druid was for that stallfall aoe (and range) and the statue from the monk.. gonna start leveling this week..
and saw Ellay's reply on my other qns in the other thread.. so yeah.. guess im gonna do this for my tidespray.. my tidespray stash is empty after i managed to grab few k of deep sea satin for 2g each lol

ret has snare ( hand of reckoning ) and Divine Steed, with two charges if you pick that talent. And some PvP talents make it better. its a good gap closer..combine that with a stun and i kill runaways all the time. Its not as good deathgrip by any means, but it works. I think with your pro control you show on your teams.. you could make paladins work very well!

My farming team (whether it be farming spawns or herbs/mining) is always druids because they are just so very fast and convenient with instant flight form.

I have two hunter teams (one regular gnomes, one mechagnomes), an all paladin team, a couple of mixed teams. They're all fun for different reasons.

lol.. i got a little sick leveling my monk/4druid for normal farming..

I did the token thing back in Legion, I missed out on the easy gold from WoD, but in BFA I just pay the subscription - it makes it less frustrating so I'm not logging in and doing something I don't want to do at that point. My gold does accrue over time naturally now and I'll pick up a token every so often but it's not the driving force.

ic.. started mboxing again in dec19.. at one point i was quite adamant about the tokens.. then about that dino mount when i knew its gonna go away.. but after awhile.. i guess i can do away with that dino.. i guess i can do away with tokens.. probably juz get enuf to buy shadowlands.. and then juz watch my gold accumulate lol..

i tink enjoying the game is worth more then the mindless routine.. else wow becomes like work all over again -_-

Agreed, the dino mount while nice is not as huge of a benefit if you have engineering. There is an auction house vendor in the main city that shows up in Boralus if you have 1 skill in it.

That's a good idea, I should save the tokens up to use them on Shadowlands.

This is really the best reason to get the dino mount, IMO. The keybind is called, "Flexington Steel".

Much like most everyone, I have a mostly farm team and then a team that I actually do content on.

Farm team is 5x druids, that I flex in to my other teams as I need to funnel leather. Currently, I'm doing BrM MW Boomx3 and it's .. fun, I guess. I need to get a better feel for MW healing though. Main team is the same as Ellay [although I actually hadn't seen your team when I made it, if it matters - I just wanted to level allied races lol]: Pal / Shaman / BMx3 and it's .. amazing. Planning on slotting in the MW for the Shaman but we'll see. I finally figured out how to turn off my healer's DPS without turning off their entire keymap so that's a step in the right direction, I suppose.

ah ha! Turkish I know that name :) Saw you last night!
That is a pretty big flex though I gotta say haha, and the MW monk is potentially better. I may need to try them out again.
