Back in action, but what to do?

[Daki]

Hey guys, this is Kayleann, I have retired one of my accounts, and now I am dual boxing, rather than tri.
I have two options: my hunter team (level 61) or my druid team (RAF 48 boomkins). What do you guys think? And it is nice to be back on here with keyclone too!
Missed you guys

Druids > hunters.

Just my personal opinion =)

Proc baised eclipse is what I am worried about, hunters sound easier to raid with... input?

Hunters are mainly survival now to push the dps to the max.. Macroing the lock and load proc is impossible and you cant just spawn explosive shot when it procs either. (since the first explosive shot will still tick when the second lands and lower possible dps)

MM should be possible to macro however and is reciving a few buffs wich should make it on par with survival, maybe even better!

Cant say for boxing more hunters, but including a hunter into my shamans wasnt easy. He ended up on 600-700 dps while i do 1500 myself and pass 2200 in raids.

You can get a proc monitor (mik's combat scroll combat text will work) for your toons. As for how hard itd be to upkeep, i cant comment. There are several 5x druid team players on these boards, maybe theyll chime in.

Thanks for the input so far guys, I would love to hear from a druid x 5 group about eclipse... it just seems too much to handle.

Someone on here posted about his 5 Boomkin team, I wish I could remember because he's awesome - and he posted video of his team in Icecrown.

I 3-boxed a team to 80 with a Boomkin as leader - very powerful, and I would just worry about the proc on the leader, and not worry about the second.

Also, you have 3.1 coming, with dual-spec, so you can have two Boomkin/feral, which is a very tasty combo - lots of DPS and then a tank when you need one, or go Boomkin/feral and Boomkin/Resto - you have a DPS team for leveling and trash, and then a tank/healer combo for harder fights.

And, honestly, it's so easy to level anything to 40 now, you could go with just about anything you want. The leveling curve is so easy now, why limit your options? Heck, you have 60's - you could add a DK in there with the Boomkin.

Or, if you want some real fun, dual box 2 DKs. I have 3 as a team, they're pretty formidable alone, as a team? Forget it!

One option, like i know a lot of locks and such do, is to simply skip the talents that have procs that want you to cast something based on it, and just spend the points elsewhere.
But with just two characters you should be able to take full advantage of said procs if you get a good proc warning setup in mik's scrolling battle text.

I was considering this very thing on my 5x70 Boomkins.
In the end I didn't respec,I don't Raid with them tho,but for BG's when I notice a proc i'll run with it.
My personal preference is Hunters,pets help keep of melee class and tackle casters,my droods have a much harder time.
Hope this helps. GL boxing
