I know it might be amazing. But most UH DK i meet have not spent the talents to get AMZ. They can still have AMS and that would still negate 75% of my damage for 5 sec... more if glyphed. But when i see the green flowing shell and i don't get my nice damage it is all ok cause i get it... it was the not understanding that really hit me.
I had a DK pop AMZ when there were a few around... it was really annoying... and i had my elementals up... so i popped four earth elementals out on them and it was all good for the 30 sec it takes for the shell to go down.
Biggest problem with the DK co-ordination so far has been the deathgrips out of follow range and into a pile of them... sometimes two piles of them... each with one toon... away from the main bunch of my toons. I will still put the hurting out on them... but it has worked wonders on me. I put the hurting on the 80's and on the lowbies first. I focus the high and the low and leave the middle alone... level range wise... unless there is an attitude that has me interested in the mid levels. I have found that the 80's feel like they are godlike just because they are 80 and my shaman are 66... my pally is 69 and so if they are skull for him they must be 80. They are not unkillable... they are not all geared out in the 22nd season of epic pwn yet. I focus the lowbies cause wtf where they thinking showing up in the first place. The mid range deserves to kill me. Both the lowbies and the 80's run and try to escape when the heat is on. Sorry... tangent.
EDIT: So the thread is about Druids and druid 5 boxing. I would love more druid pvp videos. And maybe any thoughts about druids and DK so far?
Yea evil, maybe you can do some arena vids? Or at least some stealth-> hurricane pwnage to laugh at. 8o
edit: also Rowdy you should have imagined my surprise when a single 75 DK killed all of my shaman team except for the paladin tank. I was furious. I figured out what I did wrong and then camped him for 45mins. =)
Wouldn't trees be able to get through the AMZ?
yep, since they are physical damage and AMZ only stops magic.
Dump the trees and blow your mana keeping them all up, dead DK. Really, the healing part is probably overkill, but it would be nice if they were all up to hose someone else after.
curious how much health a tree has at 80? Hopefully one mage can't AE them down before they kill the mage. That would be lame.
I don't know, but it was enough at 70 that I tended to nova them in place and ignore them in lieu of brief arcane explosion spam. But not so much I couldn't hose them if the druid was already running off and I was stuck in combat. I think it's a few thousand, plus scaling.
They were made more useful in Wrath, but also everyone now has some degree of major AoE.
I never posted much, but I've been boxing a very long time. This post has inspired me to create a boomkin team, but man I forgot how bad leveling a new 5 man team sucks :) Blizzard really needs to get rid of gathering quests. Zygor's mod helps with the pain a little bit. Anyone ever use it? I'm starting to realize that his choice for quest ordering needs a lot of work. Anyway, good post.
Tranquility is really good for keeping pretty much anything in your party alive :PQuote:

random guy: "tranq! do tranq!"
me: "sorry man, it's on cd"
random guy: "aww when's it up?"
me: "about 5 mins"
-5 minutes later-
random guy: "is tranq up"
me: "yepp"
random guy: "do it!"
me: "sorry, i stopped doing free shows. but if you'll kindly insert a quarter into one of these fine druids, i'm sure they'd be happy to perform for you"
-random guy gives druid 25g-
and then i put on my show :P
@Pengwynman -
Neat team you have going there... are you planning on running any dungeons with your team, or are they purely for PvP?
Cheers
well i had planned on it, until i found that northrend dungeons are pretty much impossible without at least a tank. So i won't be able to go with 5 boomkin, might try speccing one feral and 2-3 hybrid resto/balance and do stealth runs ^^Quote:

is this even with all of the healing 5 druids can HOT on one druid? Shoot at 80 that must be like 10k health per second or something ridiculous.
edit: see now stealth runs are where its at, and that is what I will be doing with my 5 druids if I ever get time to level them past 62.
I've done most of them without a tank, with pure 5 boomkins.Quote:

But for those that need a tank, I simply spec my main as feral, toss on my feral gear, and I'm good to go.
4x boomkins DPS and 4x boomkins heal awesomely fine.
so.... how's the weather Evil?
I tell ya, if/when they release the dual spec feature, I will definately be leveling up my other 4 lvl 27 druids... I have one 68 and one 53 now, and I like the class (one feral one boomkin)
With Dual Sec, I can have my 5x boomkin goodness, then switch easily to 1 feral tank 1 resto, and 3 boomkin (Or I guess the other 3 could be feral for their second spec, kitty mode... be fun to try at least)
any news on this?
i'm waiting for an update too. My team is at 31 now (no RAF), so no need for any AOE right now. Instances have been extremely easy so far, even easier than with 5 x shaman. Did RFC at 14, SFK at 20, BFD at 23, RFK at 26 and now SM:GY at 30.
5 x rejuv is just godly, boss fights are trivial up to now, thrash was more enoying untill i got nature's reach (less threath) on everyone except my main. larger pulls are relatively easy thanks to root. Questing is a lot faster than 5 x shaman now thanks to insect swarm, just run around and dot, i never need to stop moving around!
At 40 i get my first AOE skill, and keyclones built-in mouse broadcasting system seems just to slow for reliable AOE'ing!
Hello Evilseed
I enjoyed reading how the 5 druids have progressed in lvls and I am starting a few new myself. I have been playing with resto shaman/paladin/boomkin/mage for a while and they are lvl 72 atm. I made them mainly for pve and managed to clear UK and 2 nexus bosses with them. After having done some world pvp with them though I am not really convinced they are the way to go and am going to lvl the druids for a more pvp/pve type grp.
I was wondering what kind of targetting system you are using? If you are using an assist system, what do you do if your 'main' is killed?
Hans
So I heard this is coming out "real soon"
?(
edit: and why was this topic moved? It's not really about group composition it's about his software that makes circle targetting easier. I guess software addons would be more appropos.
Evilseed: what has been your experience with mana? in the 60s, 70s, 80s? Atm I have to sit and drink after every pull. I blame it on my crap gear.. so far reading around EJ boards it seems that moonkins are pretty gear dependent when it comes to mana.
if you are leveling, always choose gear with spirit and make sure you invest in the dreamstate talents. This is more important than having massive spellpower. Once you hit 80 then go bonkers on spellpower if ya like.
Being a software developer myself, I also came up with a little program that helps with multiboxing ground targets.
I have it bind to a single key (whatever I choose), and when that key is hit, my mouse location is broadcast and I can move the mouse to whatever location I want (it scales for my smaller side screens), and when i click the left mouse button, it will target the ground, and immediately turn off the mouse sharing.
It's kind of like a selective mouse sharing program. So far it has really worked well with my death knights and spamming the DnD AOE spell. I'd be interested to see if this program mentioned does something of the same. :thumbup:
I had the idea for this way back before anyone even took shaman groups seriously.
MINE!
Place nice and share with your playmates Nisch.
Well my program doesn't work if you're running a 5box on 1 machine setup. My setup is for a full hardware, where the alt computers have the client running and the server is on the main. I might look into making it available to others once I get bugs worked out of it.Quote:

Hey all,
Just a quick update. My uber awesome program I've spoken about (dubbed MC) will be officially released this Monday, January 11th. It would have been done sooner, however, I had to spend the past 2 weeks with various family members across the US. I spent most the time on half a dozen flights :p
sweeeeeet!
Now do you mean Sunday the 11th or Monday the 12th?Quote:

Ugg tiny php bug I gotta work out on the website for it. Might be another 1-2 days :)Quote:

Hey can anyone post a typical instance pull for the 5 boomkin group? Do you use a boomkin tank or do you guys have a dedicated feral tank for the WOTLK instances?
Anyone have any videos, I mean everyone is talking about aoe this and aoe that, but there are no videos showing this, and are you able to do that in WOTLK?
I've used Zygor's mod. It's a great in-game tool but his quest ordering, in a word, sucks.Quote:

Now, if some amibitious person could figure out how to use wow-pro.com's quest path with the Zygor tool, that would be zomg amazing levelling speed (and brainless), RAF or no. Jame's quest path is the best/fastest used by far, I just hate referring to a printout or pdf.
You are such a tease! I don't want to even play my hunter group anymore until I can use this tool!Quote:

Tip for credibility: don't announce dates you don't make (under commit over deliver, not the reverse)
Any update? I'd love to give this a spin this weekend, wife is out of town, so plenty of WoW time.Quote:

I would like an update on this as well, I have been waiting patiently even after being offered a beta spot and never getting it, I have gone from 40s to 80 on my druids already waiting for this :P Evil give us some info dude =)
I guess the minor PHP bug was a major bug.Quote:
