Just a hello and a thank you

Welcome Redbeard! You will have fun with your pallies I ran a group of 4 of them and it was actually pretty fast and super easy. the kill speed against regular mobs was slower than regular ranged dps teams, but once you get to undead or demon zones like the plaguelands or felwood, you'll just cackle insanely to yourself as you burn down a dozen mobs at a time with little risk. (plate + shield + bubble + loh + horses basically means you can pull a bunch of mobs together safely, then consecration x 4 is surprisingly effective against even regular mobs, and if holy wrath affects them, the mobs pretty much melt)

i got them to 60 then stopped leveling them to wait for 3.0.2, so not sure how it is now. but pre patch i'd have each pally with a different blessing mapped to one key. nothing like running by someone then hitting one key to nail them with 4 blessings to build good will. got lots of positive comments on whisperwind and people following me around with kind tells from doing that. also against boss type mobs, toss on 4 different seals (i used light, wisdom, crusader, and justice) then judge boss, now all 4 toss on seal of righteousness, and each swing is giving them the chance to get back mana + hp, also it does 10% holy dmg, and prevents mobs from running.

talent wise, i also specc'ed em all different sort of. 1 prot, 1 holy, 2 ret. and picked all the improved aura talents, so have 4 auras up with the improved talent version up. with the new imp. aura talents, that will only get better.

overall, leveling was fast and a breeze (much better then when i leveled a solo pally up to 60 pre-tbc) and the only real problem was getting mobs in range of all 4 pallies' melee. but again, vs demons and undeads, they dont last past the initial barrage of 4x insta cast judged seal of righteousness + 4 exorcism. if they do, they're usually ready for 4x hammer of righteousness and that's the end of that.

good luck with your pallies and have fun!

Hey Echo, thanks for the welcome.

What you laid out is what I intend on doing if I am able to get 5 boxing going (we'll see what the wife says =) ) .. but with 3 pallies. Currently, with my 2 accounts I have one speccing into improved devotion and BOK and one speccing into improved BOM and (when i get there) improved ret aura. If I can get the 3rd he will give the 3rd aura and an improved blessing of wisdom.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that judgements of the same type from different pallies stack (i hope hope hope this isnt a bug, because if nots its awesome) so if it is indeed not a bug then I will like throw down 2 light and 1 wisdom, or switch them around as the fight dictates.

Anyways, have a great day =)

Just dinged level 30 on my boys...

Had some help in SM to boost to 30 so at this point I cant really say how well theyre doing against same level content. I can say that now that ive got 90% of the things figured out with boxing I think im hooked though. I think the devil is probably in the details and that last 10% is the difference between an OK boxer and a great one... give me time =P

Finally got mounts on these guys, very exciting
