Saying Hi... 5-box 1 Machine... Design my undead team

[Dhamage]

Well... I just joined up on Mag, and here is my current setup:

5 accounts (5 seperate folders), 1 box, 2x 17" monitors, Windows Vista (4.1 System Performance Rating). Performance has been very smooth, lag hasn't been an issue.

My Dream Team: I'm an undead guy, and have a well geared undead shadow priest on Draka-US. I was thinking of making a 1x Warrior, 4x Priest group, mostly because those are the classes that I know best. Plus ever since I saw Loatheb get 5-manned by 1 War, 1 Lock, and 3 SP ('http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raaLqFelbCk') I thought this could be a good group except for the non-undead CC, instant cast burst damage and AoE. Any thoughts?

MB is a pretty potent spell, at lvl 70 I could easily tick about 3000 damage every 3 seconds with Mind Flay, SW: Pain, VE, which equates to about 1000 health going to my tank every 3 seconds... talk about a renew 8) Infinite health... infininte mana... let me know your thoughts.

Should I just make a tried and true 5x Shammy team to learn with?

I think you setup sounds good. I like the class selection. If it were me I'd make one change. That is change warrior to Pally. For two reasons only.

One the buffs, over time you'd save yourself a good bit of down time with The Wisdom Blessing and such.

That and with limited CC your going to want to DPS things down fast. Pally upfront gets a lot of aggro that allows for it, where as the warrior needs a little time to before all out DPS. Also I find warrior much harder to play in terms of tanking. I found that I had to spam everything I had which kept me very busy. Using a pally may allow for a little less stress.

Edit something also to think about in terms of PVP.
Hammer of justice is a nice long stun to let the dots work or cancel a cast. Pummel can be a pain to time right and its easy to see it coming with changing stances.

Bubble 4tw allowing your main to live much longer, The new thing that makes your whole party go fast Crusader? and of course Blessing of protection on one of your alts.

Pally = Easymode
Warrior = Lots of micro management.

Pally > War

End of story.

Welcome to the Forums !

And yeah defently pally is ez mode for tanking. Plus is good for leveling other toons once you hit 70.

ya.. I miss my pali in my box team, but I'll be damned if I'm gonna roll a blood elf :thumbdown: I guess my 5 shammy crew will just have to hold out for a Deathnight tank... wtf bliz, undead have priest, why not pali too?

I have a 70 SP, it was my first toon way back when. I always thought a group of them would be fun to try, so I'll look forward to seeing your progress.
