5 priests doing instances at level - lot of fun

I'm having a ton of fun with my 5 priests:

The team:

(that's after nagrand quests, pretty recent)

Ramparts at 60x3, 61x2

Omor gave me a bit of trouble and I had to come back at 61 and a bit better gear to finish him:

Blood furnace (yes it was close on that last boss ;-) )

First slave pen boss took me a few tries until I realized I needed to kite him away from his totems instead of trying to down his totems:

Last boss of slave pen I couldn't do at 63, I had to come back at 65:

AV is also a lot of fun

That is the great thing about boxing. How often do you see a PUG of 5 priest. Love it.

Wow, I wouldn't have thought it possible, cloth gets hit pretty hard.

Well done Moorea, yeah you think that the clothies be getting owned in there, but proved wrong again.

Ebola used to run a 5-man shadow priest gang on Magtheridon. Mind blast x5 was a one-shot on most anyone back before resilience. And enjoy your dungeon runs now while you still survive. When you hit 70ish, go try Shattered Halls or Mechanar/Arcatraz. There are bosses and 5-pulls in there that absolutely mutilate squishies. Which is pretty much why I stopped playing mine. :P

And let us know how far you get at-level. It's possible that the new talents or a particular build is viable for the normal mode stuff at level.

I'm specc'ed holy/disc combo for better shield and bonus dmg and lower mana cost on holy nova; on trash in UB I was doing 1.5k dps with each level 64 priest just spamming holy nova; which is higher than some of my level 80 guys (but obviously a gimmick of the aoe) - this is what keeps my guys alive when hit by tons of melee, pain suppression also helps (for AV too) - boss fights are a bit harder as you can see from the screen shots :-)

My girls are 69 now so I can try some of those dungeons soon (though I don't have the key for shattered halls... I guess I can do the quest line maybe or find a rogue or someone to open)

What about managing aggro a bit? I was thinking using different levels of spells to bounce aggro around on bosses. Say use a rank3 on one priest then use rank 4 on another, etc. Might help a little bit for NR instances?

I was thinking of round robin'ing fade to bounce aggro around or using the talent to reduce aggro on the 4 but it turns out just engaging with the main first and putting 5 renew on it is enough/easier to manage - I also don't mind killing my main if I pull too many as long as the others can finish - repairs on cloth are cheap

yah the quest isn't hard for the key, you may need your warrior to tank the fel reaver.

I farmed the mats for the key yesterday, I'll try without tank first :-) [my warrior is left behind at 62 or so; if I can't beat down the fel reaver with the 5 priests, I'll use my 80 pally]
