Need Help deciding on a group
Hey i want to have a 5box PvE group started along with a PvP group
For PvP, im going to level 4shammys and a pally, and then get the pally geared for raids, and pvp with the shaman.
For PvE, i want to make a couple of 4man groups and have my raiding pally tank. Can u tell me which of the following are most viable?
- 1 pally, 3 frost mages (i want to do 3v3 with them, so they WILL be frost), and a healer (which class?)
- 1 pally, 3 felguard locks (20/41), and a healer
- 1 pally, 4 Spriests (will spriest healing be enough?)
- 1 pally, 4 holy priests (holy nukes plus pally judgement ftw?)
If you have any other steups that work fine, please add them into your post. Thnks

You bumped after 14 minutes?

You just lost any right to expect a response so far as I'm concerned.

Thankyou chaotic for not being a dbag. this is my first ever thread on the forums, and ive seen PLENTY of group composition threads on general. so anyways, is a tree hard to use with hots and swiftmend being mostly what they use afaik. Wouldnt a priest be better with AoE heals?

1 pally + 3 Frost mage --- good for pve, not so good for pvp. one fear and you're all over the place. You an ice block, but that just makes the death longer. Can you imagine having separate keys to ice block each mage. For healer, any will do.

I havent played locks, i don't like pets.

pally with Spriest. i dont like spriest's micromanaging cast sequences. ve, vt, dot, mb, and most annoying is Mind Flay is channeling and gets ruined when I press the key again.

pally with Hpriest ha some synergy, but I hate the long cast time of holy fire, and it's still single target smite. holy nova cost too much mana.

I think for PvE, it would be more fun to mix your range casters. Spriest, Frost Mage, Lock, and Shaman with a pally. Then you can spec one of your shamans to Resto that will serve as healer in your pally + 4 shaman when doing badge grinds. Even in BG, having 1 resto is pretty nice.

I run 1 Pally + 3 Shaman. I plan to get a 5th, and it will be a frost mage.

If this is your first multiboxing team, i would suggest lvling the number of toons you want, and limiting the classes to 2 at the most.

It is very difficult and frustrating to figure out the macros and the sequences for a single class group, let alone a multi-class group.

start out small with 4 mages or 4 locks, 4 shamans or something and get them to 30 or so, and then try out some more complicated setups

Welcome to the forums, ignore the grouchy regulars.

3 Mages are gonna be tough to multibox in 3v3s, you have lots of DPS, but no defense other than Ice Block, and no heals. I'm basing this off my experience with a priest and 3 Mages in 5v5s. It isn't pretty. Fear and Stealth are both your enemies, but AE vs 3 rogues does work well with a Priest, PoM + CoH + PoH FTW.

I really like Priest as a healer tho, but you could probably get any of them to meet your needs.

I dont think you'd need to worry about AoE heals as much, aslong as you can keep agro on your pally you shouldn't have any issues. Its a very similar group to Pally + shamans without the totems but if you want a simpler solution I'd stick with Pally + Shamans. The Pally + Druids is just another easy combo to switch to.
