Filling out a 10 box team

[Greythan]

Not a 10 box comment, but I love my mage as well.

I can't imagine living without the portals. With my team, I can be anywhere and send any of my team almost anywhere and then summon them back. I love it.

Arcane Brilliance is still a nice group buff. There's no denying that.

Good synergy overall.

Now, having said all that, I can intuitively see where the dynamics of a 10 boxer is significantly different from the dynamics for a five boxer.

since getting back into WoW and reading some of Merc posts 10 boxing has been looking appealing to me. Ive got a couple of mates hooked on the idea and the GF Im sure will love the "shiny's!!" heres the setup, its not optimal and the chars are still being lvled so would appreaciate any advice on major issues i may face.

Group1 - my new 5 box group just duel speccing pali prot/holy
Me-Holy Pali
Me-Boomkin
Me-Mage
Me-Holy Priest
Me-ele shammy

Group2
mate with 3xboomkin
other mate with DK (OT)
GF with DK (MT)

the idea being to free me up from tanking so i can macro spam DPs while concentrating on healing

I would def go with 2 prot pally tanks! I got 1 prot pally which i love and a dk tank.... the dk tank i jus lvled up with my 2nd team cuz he starts at 55.... i mean he's okay, but in comparison to a pally instead I would perfer the pally LOL

I couldnt do with out my mage =D i always make tables for food and get that AI buff, + portals to everywhere! But then again I don't ever do dailys unless im broke (20g per character LOL) so i dont like paying for food/water LOL

Holy priest ftw! love these things! LOL shammy resto healer doesnt even compare to one =D

I totally wish i had a hunter in my 10 pack, its so true bout all the hunter drops. Feels crappy having to d/e em in to shards LOL

From what I've seen, DK tanks are just fine when you have someone solo tanking on them. If you are going to try to tank and DPS and/or heal, you definitely want the prot pally. One nice thing about DK tanks is that you don't need a lock for the +13% damage bonus.

You should be able to do most things with that group setup, Effex, though without a 2nd shaman Heigan will take longer b/c one group will either be dead from the diseases or your DPS will suffer since someone will have to be dedicated to just curing diseases on one group. If it were me, I'd probably put your healers and best DPS in one group, the tank and four throw-aways in another, spam Cure Disease on the tank as part of your heals and let the rest of his group die. It's not like you can't 2-toon Heigan given long enough.

In general, you'll prob want your holy pally single healing your tank(s) and your holy priest doing all the AOE healing, but should work out. Let me know how it goes when you get leveled up.

cheers merc, I can probably throw in one of my lvl73 shammies ones there 80 for another clensing totem, the pali healing Mt and priest AOeing was my plan yeah Im reallly loving priest aoe healing ability right now.

with regards to the 13% dmg bonus from DK's its only in unholy spec, we're using frost spec atm to increase mage dmg as the 13% magic dmg bonus comes from the boomkins earth & moon talent and doesnt stack.

as for Heigan Im thinking throw all druids in 1 group, put shammy in the other, and have cure poison / cure disease on self in the dps macro havnt tried it but think that would work
