Hi,

Iīm just looking for input to help me with the decision, any comments are appreciated.

My 5 BM Hunters are 25% away from lvl 69 and so far I cleared all the instances up to auchenai crypta, then got tired of instance grinding and started questing. All the instances were doable but stressful..if you make one little mistake and a hunter dies it is like a wipe because you have to do the corpse run.

So today I attempted the Headless Horseman. My pets have 12k armor, almost 8k hp and all the avoidance talents skilled(HoT ticks for 665 every 3 seconds). Nonetheless he SMASHED them hard. I would say he is impossible to kill for me at the moment. Itīs situations like this where I would like to kick one hunter out and add my lvl 70 s2/s3 heal shaman.

What keeps me from doing so is the complexity the shaman would add. I really donīt know where to place all those skills the shaman brings in. There are 9 possible targets to heal..thatīs a lot of macros/keybindings..without macros I would have to select the targets to heal with my main but with the delay in /assist this would be very ineffective. My mobility would also suffer because the shaman has to stand there and heal(bad in pvp). And of course I would lose some damage..nothing better than 5 BM hunters on a clothie. With lvl 56 I camped a lvl 70 warlock who attacked me in wpl. Now with 68 I just have to hit the BIG&RED button and everything expect for plate dies in less than 5 seconds(and 5 seconds is mail with resilience ).

The biggest benefit of the new setup would be its strength in pve..I should be able to clear most of the instances, probably even in heroic mode. But there are also the cons and I just canīt decide which setup I should play and level up in wotlk. I would be happy to hear your opinions/thoughts .

Regards
