So for cata Im thinking about doing a 1warrior and 1 resto shaman and 1 resto druid for BG's. Because I enjoy the warrior but without healing your useless in pvp. So tri-boxing my own healers might solve this issue. Whats your advice on the viability of this comp?
you're going to find your healers under attack more often that your warrior. props if you can pull it off.
If you can manage your DPS and heals at once, you'll be a hard to kill three-some.
Earth Shield on the squishier healer.
Nature's Swiftness twice.
Lots of HoTs, Swiftmend, Wild Growth, Chain Heal, Direct Heals, etc.
Totems, ManaTide/Innervate, B.Rez etc.
Will a single warrior be able to dps/kill, with only limited healer dps support?
Three on one, or three on two should be ok.
How will you do, three (you) vs three or more?
If you want to try it, go for it.
right now im dualboxing DK + Holy paladin
(used to 5box DK+4ret before getting bored and raiding solo again)
having a LOT of fun in bg's atm using ISboxer repeater regions and jamba strobefollow
setup Grid to only show my 2 chars and clickcasting my heals
i usually end with the least deaths (between zero and no more than 5) and therefor getting the most HK's
the new 4.0 holy pally has quite a lot of insta healing with a /castsequence holy shock, word of glory
and 1second flash of lights are sweet were needed.
2 healers will mean more healingpower when zerged (i die when they manage to cc both of us at the same time) but also more management.
Good luck though, im sure you'll enjoy it :D
Warriors damage can be retarded in cata, there are tons of vids of them killing people 2-4v1 with no healers.Quote:

Managing a healer plus a melee is a very hard task in the BGs. Not impossible, but not ideal by any stretch of the imagination.
Honestly, for someone who wants to tri-box, I'd recommend three ranged DPS (even better if those DPS can heal a bit (druid, shaman). If you want to go healer+DPS, then I think you're still better off with ranged DPS. I'd also recommend that your healer be as mobile as possible (Priest would be my pick, honestly).
The other option might be to just run multiple warriors. Convince a healer in the BG to follow you around and just blend the *&%! out of everything... :)
Warriors can become rage starved easily when multi-boxing them for bgs as arms.Quote:

Warrior is not a faceroll class. It has do quite a bit to be competitive. You need to charge/intercept, heroic leap, change stance etc. It is somewhat closed to Feral Cat's boxing difficuties I would say. and I thought it already got hit by the nerf bat on PTR. The survival is just not there. Everybody's got a 1 button defense except warrior. Warrior is like a 3 button defense where we have to switch stance, equip shield, then shield wall.
Now mortal strike is gone 10%. I would see warrior needs to have that ridiculous damage to be competitive. If they nerf that warrior is gone.
I'm leveling my fury warrior (currenlty 75) and plan on trying 2 priests + warrior in PvP. Although I'll also try my 4 priest team, I've missed my warrior (old main before multiboxing) and think that if I concentrate most of my focus on playing the warrior to the fullest then the two priests will work well for easy healing. The nice part is I'll only be taking up three spots in the BG and, as we all know, a warrior with healers is probably the most dangerous thing in WoW.
Warrior plus a separate player as healer is very effective, sure...
Not so convinced it's nearly as effective if you're doing it all yourself...
Well, with 2 healers, and only 1 Warrior, going Prot would definitely be the way. More defense, and still a lot of damage, while adding in more stuns and CC.Quote:
