4x Shadow Priest are amazing

[zenga]

Have you tried 3 SP 3s? How does that work for you.

I haven't tried 3s yet. A bit uncertain how to approach the fight without a healer. Actually I'm not a big fan of running w/o a healer. I can see 2 spriest + random healer work (or boxing all 3, but then 2x shadow 1x disc).

As for the healer on the 5 team, pally is great vs melee, shaman is pretty awesome vs caster teams with wind shear. Will need more games/gear to find out what works best for me.

Hmm this is interesting, requires a bit of control... can't wait to see how you do.

5 Disc ftw. FEAR MANA DRAIN WIN!!! I'm only half joking.

back when i 5 boxed I played a 4 disc priest + warrior team to 70.

It was a lot of fun but ultimately in PvE the damage wasn't really there. I basically zerg'd through any and all mechanics with the outrageous disc damage healing.

I see shadow priests not being a bad idea. However probably just not my play style for boxing. Shadow priests, much like warlocks, require some build up before they can kind of burst. Really gives away the chance for a quick zerg kill like shamans, death knights, paladins and warriors have. I haven't played priest since Cata so I'm not 100% up on the information but the way I remember was there being a build up before you could burst. Your build up time kind of gives away what you're about to do and allows people to pop cooldowns to survive the incoming damage.

Their damage is bursty though, and by that I mean once stuff does get rolling, the damage is pretty unpredictable. If you can catch someone off guard with your DoTs on them and other necessary debuffs, GG.

Just my 2 cents. I wish you luck though, I wouldn't mind leveling up my priests again.

aura mastery + two priests able to do 3 mind spikes > mind blast = dead target.

Its really hard to CC 4 priests lol

you don't even necessarily need dots rolling on anyone else either.

How about priest? Think that 'd be a pretty good start.
