Quad 3 Magi + A paly

[dsathira]

been thinking about this setting

just can't seem to figure out ... if paly is going to be master... how mage can be at safe distance to start shooting ?

won't it be a bit slower than other setup ? since you need to park your mages a bit far away from the mobs paly targetting ? or how does it work ? :huh:

No problems here, and it doesn't take any time to stop your mages. To stop them, just use a formation-key("macro").
I've played with tank + 4 dps, no problem. You don't really need to stop them either really.

thanks for the answer.

just thought it might be a bit confusing at first if my paly will run in and other mages being pulled in as well. I guess I will have to get used to with buttons when playing this set.

yeah, it's a different playstyle then all of one class, just take your time. I have my DPS-buttons 123 and use extra mousebuttons for pala tanking mostly.
I know many people use mouseclicking for palatanking, but I just can't play that way, need my hotkeys
atm, I have heals on mouse5(pinky finger) and alt+mouse4(thumb) for renew and greater heal, DPS is still 1,2,3. I also have more stuff binded ofc, but that's basically it.
I have a Logitech G11 that takes care of alot of stuff as well, like dispell/decurse/cleanse/clean poison etc.

I have a Prot. Pala + Resto Druid + Warlock. Altought I always have a druid, the logic is about the same (let's say I was only p + w).
My "DPS Key" since my first char is "C".

So I have:
C = dots, shots, etc rotation with the warlock. In the case of mages you can find a key and put to Fireball/Frostbolt and then another key to instant casts (Blast / Ice Lance).
4 = instant paladin actions (like Judgment)
5 = stun
SHIFT + 5 = fear
etc

Just put related things together.

About the range issue: not at all . Casters have the advantage hunters wanted: can cast from any distance, even if you are kissing the target. So just go on with your paladin, grab the mob and start smashing dps Keys with mages.

definitely going to try them out.

I am strucklingn with numbers of key bindings.. seems never could get enough buttons to pull all my macro/action keys.

I have a G11, still haven't a clue how to set it up. How do you use your G11 tho? Set macro on each G keys? Been looking for a tutorials/guides how to use this fancy keyboard with WoW.. dead end
