5 boxing Pallies is fun

[blast3r]

I went ahead and started another RAF so I'll be leveling at least 1 team of each class and likely another group or two on other servers.

I know Nisch has a team of Pallies now on my server that are around lvl 70 i believe. I helped him with ring of blood in Nagrand recently and when I saw his team there I thought "I gotta try it"! And I am not regretting it one bit.

For now I spec'd the main prot and the other 4 retribution. So far I have not found the need for a dedicated healer due to the incredibly OP Judgment of Light. Place 5 of these bad boys on the mob and get healed when you whack it. I rarely have to cast heals even in instances. Fighting mobs +8 levels? yawn...no problem. With the insane automatic healing in combination with mana regen and consecration instances are just so easy so far. And only my main has some plate gear and the others still have gear from lvl 20 or so. I look forward to hitting outland and giving those a shot and am wondering how NR instances will be with this team.

I got to try that once I am done with quad shamys and if I still have time left on my RaF =D

I've got a few weeks left on RAF, and I'm feeling the pressure to get all the teams I want leveled to 60. With the pallies, however, I just couldn't help myself once I got to 60 with them... I hit 63 and cleared Ramps and Blood Furnace before I could stop myself, I was having so much fun. I'm currently on the same setup, with a prot and 4 rets.

I'm looking forward to getting back on them after I get my locks, hunters, and shammies to 60 before RAF runs out (My 5x teams to 60 so far are druids, priests, and pallies). The pallies are my clear favorite so far.

No harm meant, just asking. What do you do against casters? I would be scared of a caster pat in SM. You see it, but if you chase it, you are doing 0000 DPS until you get to it. And some (about 1%) of casters actually run out of melee range so they can cast. My shammies heal in BGs since that is my mindset, but what do you do in BGs or do you plan to PVP at all? DKs have a come here move, do you just rely on hammer and repentence? I would be scared of a mage sitting just out of melee (15 yards) just blizzarding me (or any AOE).

Congrats on making a not normally make group. I am leveling my locks and love it. Yeah, I haven't hit the Outland brick wall yet, but still.

Going to go full Ret or Shockadins?

Besides repentance, there's two other options: Burn him down on the spot, along with everything else you aggro Or, the old tag him and run back around a corner trick. There really is a surprising amount of health regen with multiple judgement of light, so incoming AOE is rarely a problem. You certainly have to find ways to get on top of them though.

Yeah I'm really surprised more people don't run 5 paladins.

I know what you mean about not needing the dedicated healer. I originally had 3 ret, 1 prot, and 1 holy, but went to 4 ret, and haven't had a problem.

One thing that helps with heals too is the 4 x Divine Storms. That can heal me for nearly 4000 with just one hit. I adjusted a couple to JoW rather than JoL so I can get some mana back. My ret's didn't have mana problems, but my prot did. No longer do I have mana problems, nor healing problems.

Oh, and thanks again for the help with Ring of Blood. I appreciate it. :thumbsup:

I really had a lot of fun with my 5 pallies, but I had to sideline them at 60ish before Wrath to level up an alternate team for my guild. My husband and I already had a tankadin and holydin, so we needed druids for versatility. Really wish I could have gotten back to them with the changes in Wrath, they were already a total blast to play when they were gimped.

I would be worried about spending so much time leveling all these groups that cant combat fear bombs. If your doing it for the fun of it and plan to do PvE stuff then thats all cool, but the moment you step into BGs i got a feeling you will start to tear your hair out. I know i would, i've tried it on hunters before and its just no fun So i've just stuck with shaman Although i have to admit, i do have 5 DKs @ 70 :> But i dont plan to do anything more than icecrown dailys on them. With two teams doing that i should be able to make some decent cash :x

For most casters you are running 5 auras and can mitigate damage from those. Arcane is a problem but nothing you can't heal through. I did SM easily. And I do plan on doing bgs. i'll spec all retribution for that. i would probably guard things more than anything else.
