I know people out there have priests, maybe not multi boxing team, but knows about them.

Here is my team set up pally tank, priest healer, 3 x destro locks. Does anyone know what build i should use for the priest? I never played a priest before so i don't know anything about them.

I was thinking this for my pally build ('http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/classes/paladin/talents.html?tal=000000000000000000000500513350002 1320215510520530000200000000000')

I tried looking on the forms but couldn't find anything... maybe i am just entering the wrong key words.

3/5 Reckoning + 2/2 Retibution Aura put into 5/5 One Hand Weapon Spec.

One Hand Spec = 5% to all damage, that includes your SoR, Consecrate and Holy Shield.
You won't be using Retri Aura in Heroic, more like Devo Aura.

Reckoning is nice when AoE grinding lowbies with a fast high dps weapon for it's level (not 70).

I'd 3/3 into Pursuit of Justice instead of 3/3 Vind. You're a tank and the debuff is so-so. I prefer to not get hit by spells which Pallys are wear against tanking, and get a nice 15% run speed.

Yes the spell is nice and the 15 run too, but my pally is going to be leader and having him go 15% fast means losing my alts behind him, but if something is going after an alt that 15% is good. Double edge sword. the reason i picked vind instead is mostly for boss fights. What about take the 3 out of Vind and putting them in reckoning?

Is imp. judgment even worth it? It is only 2 seconds. I could put the other 2 in reckoning to have 5?

this is what i have my priest specced as...although i haven't changed him out since i started boxing, but he has a shitload of +healing and a 15k mana pool
with mostly epics and a few blues. i only have two macros set up for him...

1.) /target (insert main's name here)
/cast Flash Heal

2.) /cast [target=focustargettarget, help, nodead, combat] [target=focustarget, help, nodead] [target=target, help, nodead] [target=player] Flash Heal

The first one is a backup when he targets something else for some reason and the tank needs a heal...
The second one will:
1. The target of whatever your focus is targeting when you are in combat. So in combat if your main is tanking a mob this will heal the target of the mob, either your tank or whoever it is beating on. Out of combat this is ignored.
2. The target of your focus. Whoever your main has targeted will be healed.
3. Heals your current target.
4. Heals yourself.


Unbreakable Will 5/5
Silent Resolve 4/5
Imp Fort 2/2
Inner Focus 1/1
Meditation 3/3
Mental Agi 5/5
Mental Strength 5/5
Diving Spirit 1/1
Imp Spirit 2/2

Imp Renew 3/3
Holy Spec 5/5
Divine Fury 5/5
Holy Nova 1/1
Inspiration 3/3
Imp Healing 3/3
Spirit of Red 1/1
Spiritual Guidance 4/5
Spiritual Healing 5/5
Holy concentration 3/3

I have a similar team makeup. paly, priest, 3xmages.

My paladin spec is almost exact to what you linked with the exception of Vindiction

Just for reference, ALL bosses in outland are immune to that debuff. That reason alone makes it a waste in my opinion.

you were right the first time about one hand spec. It ONLY increases the damage you do with a 1 handed weapon.... period. Since your paly will be tanking, most of your threat will come from holy dmg and not your weapon dmg... again a wasted spec, but I still but 3-4 in it just as a filler. (I didn't take spell warding).

For most fights you will be using retribution aura. The bonus effect from devotion is minimal at 70 and does not scale. Having retribution aura will greatly increase your threat generation on multiple mobs.

Again you are right on about pursuit. For mulitboxing that is just not feasible. Avoid all movement increases unless all your alts have them too

My 1st 70 was a pally tank and I love having the ret aura. I mean with good healer it is just extra agro. And in a instance where your tanking mulitple mobs .... you cant beat it.

theres my priest. I like CoH (the 41 pt talent) but it is skippable. What i think isn't skippable is "Healing Pryaers" which reduces Prayer of healing's mana cost by 20%. I spam PoH when group is getting damaged, and i think it's a staple multiboxer heal.

that's my pally. He has a pretty standard tanking build.

/bump

Only going to bump this once. Would love to hear a little more feed back.

This is what i am planning on doing:
3 lock spec ('http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/classes/warlock/talents.html?tal=000000000000000000000215003013320 0100000000545500512200010030250')
pally spec ('http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/classes/paladin/talents.html?tal=000000000000000000000500503350002 1420215510520530000200000000000') (I know that vindication is resisted with most bosses but think it will be a nice filler. Also will be using this build to power lvl my sham team and maybe a mage team so that is why i have imp ret aura).
priest still have no clue :(

As a shadow priest I was able to heal all instances while levelling, but that was without boxing. If you're going to be doing mainly instances I would make your priest holy, as you probably won't be doing much damage with him so you might as well make him as mana efficient as possible. You can't go wrong picking Holy talents, as long as they mention "healing" they'll be good.
