DANGER, Stay Away! Can this be viable?

[AlienChild]

I play on a PvP server. I currently play a Pally+4xshaman, nearly 61. I don't know what it is but I seem to have a big red "PLEASE TRY GANK ME" sign flashing over my head. This is getting really annoying now to the point where I am thinking of changing my group entirely to hopefully put a big red "DANGER STAY AWAY" sign, but still be very viable for PvE heroics at level 80 and some BG stuff.

Owltoid has mentioned the 5 x druid group but from my searching I don't think this is a proven combination for PvE heroics as well as discouraging people from attacking me while levelling - or am I wrong?

How about Pally + Priest + 3xWarlocks - would this meet my requirements?

(There is a lot of info on warlocks in a group but almost all of it is pre-WotLK, so looking for some current opinions)

The Moo's multiboxing Oculus

Considering oculus and UP are widely accepted as the hardest to box, I'd say 5 druids is quite proven for heroics.

True, but I don't think I made myself completely clear - I am not looking for JUST a heroic capable group, as the title of this thread indicates, (My current combo is already heroic capable) I am ALSO looking to discourage gankers and still be heroic capable.

People used to not want to mess with warlocks, I have no idea if that is still true and can I have a group that will serve the 2 functions I mentioned above?

Are you talking about ganking when leveling or ganking when you're 80? If someone is brave enough to jump into five level 80 druids, then I'm pretty sure they're brave enough to jump into any five man group (ok, maybe not pallys or DKs). If you're talking about being ganked when leveling, then just seeing five lower levels in one spot is going to be hard to resist regardless of the group make-up. The nice part about druids is it's a bit more difficult for them to camp you since you can stealth.

Ganking while levelling is something I would like to try minimize. I don't think ganking at level 80 is much of a problem for most multi boxers - but I don't know since I don't have any level 80's

In that case I think you're screwed regardless of your class make-up. If someone sees 5 level 72's, chances are they're going to gank you if they're in the mood.

For me, when I played on a PvP server, the only class I'd go out of my way to gank were rogues. I figure that class is built for getting the jump on someone, so they always need a taste of their own medicine.

5 druids works just fine for pve heroics, and while leveling if you have any doubts about the zone stay stealthed in cat form whenever possible.

The entry BC zones generally have more pvp action than anyplace else. When I went through there hellfire was full of pvp action, but once I got to 64-65 or so I was left alone. This might just be a temporary thing.

My Pally plus 4x Shammy group still has the peculiarity of having idiots try to gank me (they are solo). I think they think I'm a bot? or maybe that their screen is messed up (since my shammies are all same name with different 'a' - hard to tell when they are standing on top of each other).

At level 80 it only gets interesting when they start calling in friends and soon I have 20 people camping me :)

Thats when I move to my second team and level for awhile..

I had the same problem while levelling but it seemed to come in bursts and honestly... I wasn't really ganked anymore while levelling my team than I was while levelling my solo characters. It just seemed more frustrating for me with the team.

I say wait until you are out of Hellfire before you throw those 60 levels away. I think you will have it with whatever group you have, but my next group will be droods.

Sorry buddy your gonna get it regardless of what you go with, that's the name of the game. If you box your prime gank territory so either learn to live with it or reroll/xfer to PVE realm. I am on PVP realm and I had the same issue when trying to level my team, they love to see boxers and gank them, I had many 80's gank me when I was leveling through the 50's, 60s, and 70's.
