Lock Love

[shaeman]

I loved my lock solo in BG's for quite a while. It really shone when you got someone to back up heal you.

I imagine a 4 lock 1 priest team would be phenomenal in BG. One big mass of drive by dotting.

I am debating swapping out one of the locks for a Priest. I hit 20 last night with them and OMG they are so much fun. I was easily tearing up mobs 6 and even 7 levels ahead of me without breaking a sweat.

I haven't really had any health issues other than when I let myself lifetap too much. So do you guys think that having a priest along with the bunch would be beneficial enough to lose some DPS over? If I mix in one of my priest should I spec them shadow for synergy?

I have the same experience with my druids. Moonfire x5 will almost one-shot stuff when the DoT finishes. Starfire absolutely one-shots anything within 2 levels of me. Wrath is about like shadowbolt.

Starfire is totally awesome! And moonfire/insect swarm combo is sweet as well. I have one castsequence macros for moonfire/insect swarm and use it all the time. I'm beginning to really love my druids even more. Trying to get some macros redone today. Mine pretty much totally sucks. If my main dies I'm pretty much screwed. So, how are you liking the druids? What level are the now? Mine are at 61.

And to the OP. Yea, affliction locks are sweet. Kind of like hunters in how fast you can burn things down.

I already created a priest/4lock team who are standing by waiting for my shammies to get 60. I'm thinking nice for the healing and rez capabilities. I don't really know much about priests, though. I will be interested in hearing more about this team setup.

My main is a Balance Druid most of the time and I can only imagine how sweet Starfire x 5 must be. Just guessing that most things don't live past the first hit of that, and if they do 5 x Celestial Focus would almost certainly guarantee stun to proc, I assume would pretty much lock down the mob for the second wave.
