Tips and tricks for multi-boxer leveling

[Apatheist]

I am considering making 3 or 4 man teams for that reason (so you can invite people in and help them; or join as dps in dungeons)

But it won't be very efficient not being able to do dungeons alone

If you do something along the lines of tank druid, priest, mage it shouldn't take you long at all to find a couple DPS to fill the last 2 slots for any dungeon.

You could even be picky about which classes you bring so they don't compete for loot. There'll be a million hunters and warriors in classic.

The old vanilla guild of about 10 to 12 are coming back. DPS will be pretty easy to pull in from the group? Do you think Bear, Hpriest, Mage are the best 3 I could bring? I was thinking maybe Warrior/Pal/Warlock or Mage - Thoughts?

Warrior, paladin and warlock would work fine but mages give you more reliable CC plus free water and portals that speed things up quite a bit. If I were mostly focused on PvE I'd definitely pick at least one mage. Mage AE is also simpler since you're just spamming arcane explosion and cone of cold most of the time.

Then again, warlock would allow you to summon people to you if you're regularly pugging 2 DPS so there is that.

How does class specialization work in Vanilla? Can I flip from tank to healer easily?

You have to pay to respec, and it increases every time you do it. So, no, it's not easy unless you can come up with lots of in-game money.

[edit] That said, it is possible that Blizzard may change their minds on that one, though if you think about it from a money perspective, allowing people to pay for subscription tokens with gold on the AH would be profitable considering how hard it is to get for the average classic player. I would probably sell one or two just to get a leg up on mounts and such if dungeon spamming doesn't result in mana from heaven like a lot of people are claiming.

For many reasons I hope they don't revise respec costs/penalties... The biggest reason for me is that it lessens the value of the few specs who can regularly change roles like the below:

You can tank and heal in the same spec as either druid or paladin. All you have to do is swap gear. HoTW/NS is also the strongest PvP spec for a druid.

Paladin: https://classic.wowhead.com/talent-c...Az3QwAQ_3yBxAA

...

Hybrid classes already have several penalties and if everyone can switch specs easily it makes the 'Hybrid Tax' even more unfair.

I wouldn't recommend paladin tanking without a mage in the group though. You pretty much have to drink after every pull so having that water supply is essential. If you do have a paladin, healer & mage you can do some pretty huge pulls. Kite mobs around your consecration with the mages spamming frost nova, cone of cold and arcane explosion and you can pull a ton of mobs without taking all that much damage.

I've leveled a paladin, priest and 3 mage group. It's super fast grinding in PvE.

They won't do that for at least a year if they want classic to be successful and even after one year it'd cause a revolt
