Greater Blessings and Pets

[Purpleflavor]

For threat, i believe the only blessing that doesnt give threat is Wisdom, and Kings was only optimal because it's the cheapest mana cost. I wish i could help you with a definitive answer, but i'm not high enough on my pallys yet.

In past experience which was a decade ago (yikes), and how i remember it was pets were assigned sub classes (hunter pet= warriors, warlock pets=paladins), but were still considered separate from players. So buffing a hunter pet buffed all hunter pets. Buffing a warlock pet buffed all warlock pets.

There was a bug for a short time that would combine player warriors and hunter pets, and pallys and warlock pets, but it was fixed. Wish i could give you some accurate tested data but i cant. If the bug exists in this version of classic, than that would be great for warlock pally teams.

Recasting GBoS would be an option if it wasn't so damn expensive... Maybe in an emergency and/or if it was going to run out during the fight anyway. I guess you could spam GBoKs till you get threat back and then reapply GBoS but still more expensive than I would like.

Thankfully there are multiple others who are already at cap and hopefully can give some insight. Any 60 Paladin with 2 or more Warlocks with pets (even lower level) can likely verify.

If it doesn't work with Pets then dual Pally with Mages is likely the best but it would be great if single Pally can pull it off with Warlocks and any healer as Priests just make a lot of sense (especially Warlocks).

These are amazing numbers so very interested.

Would really like to know before leveling up 3+ Warlocks or 3+Mages (or both).

I made my mage team with a paladin and 4 mages since I prefer paladin healers anyway and I already have a priest on that account. I'll have to do some testing with this after I level a bit.

I use the paladin to "tank" (it's holy) and kite mobs around in 4 blizzards and basically take zero damage. I can see this being a useful tool for being able to maintain aggro between consecrates.

Very glad to hear as I like the idea of self-healing tanks.

Do you have your 4Locks+Priest on the same server as your 2Paladins+Warriors and if yes can you test the interaction of Greater Blessings with pets/party (like Paladin+Priest+3Locks+3Pets)?

Would really like to know if you cast Greater Blessing of Kings on the Pets whether it over-writes Greater Blessing of Salvation on the Warlocks &/or Priest.

Regardless Please report back any lessons learned trying this at cap with any party composition.

It doesn't. Pets count as their own entity with their own buff table.

Warrior shouts apply to all party members within range. Greater blessings only apply to the specific class and treat pets as a class for the purposes of receiving the buff. If you GBoK one warlock pet, it applies to all warlock pets even if you have different pets summoned.

I don't have a hunter so I can't test whether the same is true between warlock and hunter pets.
