WoW 5 Boxing - which is best class to use 5 of

I already have a Warrior and a Priest at lvl 60 (and a 60 Rogue, 60 Hunter, 47 mage).

I am hugely torn between 5 Mages, 5 Warlocks or 5 Shaman. I am thinking of purely PvE.

I am a newb to Shaman having only played to lvl 60 and before BC release.



I would hugely appreciate thoughts on which class to run and especially info on how Shaman run together - synergies strengths, weaknesses etc. I saw the vid of 5 Shaman and they seemed to have some huge rock pets tanking, I don't even know what those are and would appreciate info on them.



Thanks so much and apologies for taking folks time up.

Obviously 5 shaman = 5 sets of totems, which is awesome in later levels but not so much in the very beginning (until you get the fire totem for 5xSearing totem/Fire Nova/Magma)
I'm not sure how I would level them, I leveled mine as enhancement (2 different shaman, both solo until level 50) which wouldn't have as much downtime as elemental would and it's a lot faster killing things than being restoration.
The deadzone might be a small issue if you're meleeing everything.

The earth elemental is an earth totem spell you receive at level 68. Lasts for 2 minutes or until it dies, 20 minute cooldown. Has an AE taunt and does melee damage. A decent totem if you're soloing an elite without a tank, as long as you remember to heal the elemental when it gets low on health, and as long as the fight doesn't last over 2 minutes. The counterpart to that is the fire elemental which has the exact same cooldowns but does a fire nova and fireblast until it runs out of mana. You can't have both up at the same time, but can drop one after the other.

Thanks jabowah, thats great advice.

How would the Shaman get on in instances from about lvl 30 up to 60, with just the 5 of them ?

this guy has videos of his 5 70 shamans doing instances and pvp arenas

Thank you for your contribution. X-box came by a while ago and posted his videos :) It still is pretty amazing to watch though!
