The new guy with the question
Hey guys.
I just registered and already have a question :)
I'm an ex-EverQuest addict. Just recently joined WoW horde after about 5 years of EQ. I really got used to 2-3 boxing in EQ so after a couple of weeks of running a Rogue here in Warcraft I decided that it's time to create a new account and go back to dual boixing. I don't think I'll be creating with 4-5 characters as some people do but having two characters is a blast so far.
I ran into the problem when it came to choosing perfect characters to bot. As I said, I'm a new WoW player ( my characters are only lvl 9) so I went with the simple tank/healer combo - Warrior/Priest. After reading these forums it's seems like I'm the only one with such a combo. Everyone here seems to be using either Shamans, Mages or Warlocks. I there something wrong with War/Priest combo ?
I know in EverQuest having Warrior/Cleric wasn't such a good idea because warriors are low DPS and neither cleric or warrior can slow NPCs. In EQ I found the best combo to be Bard/Druid.
A far as I know, in WoW Warriors are very high on DPS... so as priests so I figured this combo will work pretty well. Paladins are good tanks as well from what I heard ( plus CC ) but their DPS isn't too good....
So back to my question.. is there something wrong with Warrior/Priest combo ? It's awesome so far...while low levels.

Paladins can AoE tank a group of mobs like no other class, and require less attention to do so than a warrior or druid. About the only downside is the lack of a ranged attack until level 50 unless you have the engineering profession. A mage has fantastic single target & AoE DPS, portals for quick transport to cities, food/water to reduce downtime, and the best CC in the game. There's a reason that the paladin/mage combo is my favorite pair, even though the rogue is probably my favorite single class. AoE, low downtime, and portals makes this one of the most 'active' pairs due to the ability to clear out a large area of mobs and not waste so much time in travel.
