Hksix and I are in the same guild. I'm boxing warrior, hunter, 2 mages, priest. I watched him. What he did in the time he did it was nothing short of amazing.
I've got as much played as he does and I'm only level 48. I'd have to say there is probably not a better 5 man comp than what he is running.
Hi Guys,
I have been leveling slow, but my warrior team (3 war, 1 pally, 1 priest) are about to hit 40. Im looking forwarding to joining everyone at 60. I have been considering for fun building a 2 druid 3 rogue team for some different fun.
I'm 55 running 4 warriors and 1 priest.
It's awful. I'd be chugging along doing 30-33k an hour in ZF on GY pulls, and watch as mages advertised 70-80k/h groups :(
BRD has been a slight speed improvement, but not much.
Well, those of you at 50 or 60 are light years ahead of me so I wouldn't be too hard on yourselves lol. I've been going back and forth and am finally going to jump in and roll a 2x Pally 3x Mage comp. Tips on the challenges you guys faced and general pointers being shared with the community are much appreciated. Hopefully since I've taken a lot longer to get going you guys will already have the dungeons mastered by the time I catch up, that way you can share all the best strats for handling annoyances in the higher end dungeons like UBRS, DM, etc.
That depends on the purpose of the team. For leveling speed, gold farming or world PvP it probably isn't. Is it for farming dungeons at 60? Most likely, but only if you play the wrong faction. ;)Quote:

I don't see the benefit of a second paladin (healer). Priest is much better in my opinion.

I think both compositions are viable and each with their pros/cons but from a Dungeon Grinding standpoint I would go Paladin+Priest+3Mages over Paladin+Paladin+3Mages (unless there are other goals that take priority).
For the record I am running 2 Paladins on my team so obviously I like them but think the other comp is more optimal for dungeon grinding...
edit: The above being said, for most muliboxers, I would recommend to swap out at least 1 or 2 Mages for Warlocks. Better than the above composition would be:
Paladin+Priest+2Warlocks+Mage;
Paladin+Priest+Warlock+2Mages;
If it were me I would do 2 Warlocks.
I'd like to update this, with clearer info, and not recommend BRD for melee groups until 55. When I went into BRD the demoshout nerf wasn't yet live, so aoeing was a little more viable. Instead I recommend sunken temple, the upper ring with the 6 mini bosses. I was able to push over 40k an hour from 52 to 55 there, which was considerably better than ZF and then BRD at 50-52. I did not do the mini bosses beyond a couple of times when I killed some bosses in the dragonkin area.Quote:

Hi! Would you give us some insight in the macros you use in this setup?
A newbie (me) would be grateful! :p
This thread has turned into a "how do i get to 60 the fastest" and not WHO has hit 60. I keep checking it to see who made it to 60 lol.
