5 Druid Team. Anyone else doing this?

[pengwynman]

With the dual-spec thing coming soon I can’t help but think you could run with 5x moonkin and switch to bear, tree, and 3 boomkin/cats as needed.

yeah, this will be SUPER nice. i want to see a mod that will switch your gear and spec at the same time. won't be able to switch in combat or in bg's/arenas, but other than that, yeah it'll be awesome

No offense, but this advice screams that you've never really PvPed before...

Or you could say something like, “I personally have tried/considered those things and didn’t have any success. In my experience I fouind that those ideas aren't practical as they might seem”. You know, in case you wanted to act like an adult.



Honestly,

I’m no multi-box PvP veteran myself but….

IMHO 5 druids will not be better than 5 shaman in the arena. However, I want to make a druid team myself. PvP arena is not my biggest priority but I can’t help but think you could get a decent if not high rating if you mitigate your weaknesses like SoundEyes says. (some of the following is a re-hash)

Fearbomb classes are Warrior, Priest, and Afflic Lock right?

-If you hit a priest hard in the beginning and force them to heal they might not be able to close with you.
-If you put some or all of your Force of Nature trees on a priest they might blow fear on that.
-With Typhoon times 5 could you keep a warrior at bay?
-Root/Cyclone can buy you some time too.
-Keep the trinket handy
-Stay near a wall/corner to make regrouping easier
-And I’m not sure but it would seem that you could start the fight in cat form to put the other team on the defensive.
-Starting from stealth you might even have time to pre-set CC targets to keep people back after your opener.

I wonder if you can stealth your party in to Wotlk heroics and clear bosses really fast!?!?

You are telling him to use all the Force of Nature trees on a priest. How is that possible being a multiboxer?

manually casting the spell on each client, lol.

Everytime I log on my druid group I get bombed at least once that day and we all die embarassing deaths.

Although...the MOST embarassing death was when a SINGLE druid took down my paladin, shamanX4 group because I couldnt find where the bastard was casting from.... Starfire is the perfect gank tool, you don't see a bolt graphic indicating where the druid is hiding. I *almost* made a post about it needing a bolt graphic on the wow forums, but decided against it, lol.

Manually casting from each client.... not ideal.

passing the mouse does a "fairly" good job of getting the trees out - aiming them is harder though

I've tested it with keyclone, and apart from some delay, it is possible to at least drop the trees somewhat in front of you - add 15 voodoo gnomes or servants and you have some rather decent fear protection (if they are all within fear range, then your 5 toons are less likely to be the ones feared, when a total of 35 targets can be picked)

Also, if you get to start from stealth, then 5*starfire+moonfire+insectswarm -> wrathspam hurts a priest like there is no tomorrow. Surviving the initial onslaught is damn near impossible, especially if you get to set CC targets and open with cyclone/roots instead.

popping trees+starfall * 5 right after, and just burn another target, should really give you the upper hand - if not, hotting up might give you a chance to outlast - but then again, who knows how it will all look @ lvl 80

Greetings all,
I'm also making a 5xdruid team, started just a week ago. Main is now level 21 and clones 24, since the main can't have RAF.

Currently one feral, three balance and a healer. But it doesn't really matter in low level instances, i can just Starfire nuke anything including most bosses with my crap gear. Did just RFC, WC and Deadmines now and gotta love the stealth runs for loot. I has been thinking of making them all balance for the unique look, but rather want to try out the 1+3+1 or 1+4 setup that should be the core of heroic PvE later.

As for Arena PvP, I don't have much expectations. Though liking the idea of 5x balance/resto spec, starting from stealth, setting focus CC first and have a tactical advantage. Also there are roots, cyclone, typhoon, stomp, trees. 5 druids are more tactical team than just pure burst. I don't know yet how arena PvP will be at 80 now with all new class talents and abilities, however I expect this setup could be decent in skilled hands.

You can also visit Armory to see my progress. :thumbsup:

5 Druids (Balance for now) has been one of my most enjoyable experiences so far. Remember that MOONFIRE DOT STACKS. You can moonfire all mobs around you untill your are OOM then chetah away and watch them all die. Also, for leveling a self inervate macro makes it fun. The Star and Moon or whatever the 3 talent point debuff that increases spell damage by 13% has never stacked for me, I dont think it can.

On another note, does anyone use Eclipse with a 5-box, if so how do you tell if the other toons have the ability come up?

I've been thinking 2x shaman 3x boomkin or 3x shaman 2x boomkin would be a lot of fun to play. This would give you the fear protection druids need as well as some nice buff synergy. This is purely speculation as I have yet to even play a druid past level 20. 8)

i use eclipse, and it has a pretty big animation over the head of the toon that just procced it. hard to miss.
