For arena or PvE? If its PvE go for priest. For PvP Id go for paladin if you are going to play all 5

Id like priest for PvP/arena aswell, they both have pros and cons, i gues Paladain are the popular alternative atm tho. But id like the massdispell from the priest, no more frost nova or IB for mages :D

id go paladin, im not too good at controlling melee, so im thinking adding a healer to the mix would be not only helpful from a healing perspective but also a gameplay perspective, also with ISboxer, say i have flash of light on DPS 1, would it interfere with my FS > HB > NS on my dk's?, cos i wouldnt want to spam heal all the time

Keymaps + Action Target Groups ...Example: Have it so when you press #2 it only sends to the DK spam buttons to the Target Group "DKS", then click heal with vudho/healbot/etc... on your paladin.

In a 5s setting priests get trained and destroyed. Priest work great in a 4 DKs + 1 friend healing, but when you play all 5 Paladins are a little more durable.

My priest can survive for a long time in 5's even vs quad melee comps. If you can survive the opposing team's startup burst on your healer it can be game over.

I'd go for a rogue or warrior. They have more self healing than healers -_-

End rant.

For serious arena, you need a healer to react quick. Ofc you can get high with playing all 5 yourself, BUT you will never be the best.

Are you now playing the priest and the DKs?... I was refering to playing all 5. Priest is definately viable, but I've found paladins are more durable and require less effort when managing all 5 toons.
