Would 5 Druids be effective?

Shadow Priests biggest BIGGEST downside is they have fuck all mana efficiency.

4x Prayer Of Mending makes them a royal bitch to kill though.

after a mindblast and a shadow word death i would assume that most things would die

I agree and at 125% health back, shadow word death could jsut be used twice and boom dead target.

I have 5 lvl 70 priests and the problem i see with shadow is ....

in order for vamp embrace and vamp touch to be viable, your target has to live.... the ROI in healing and mana for mana spent is not good when your target dies in 2 shots

Personally the build I found best overall was a disc holy build, but thats just me....

Thats the beauty, I can respec anything I feel like, or spec to a build that I deem usable for myself.

I can see me letting my targets live, in one way.

PvP:
Psychic Scream - All
VI VE SW:P - Each DPS
Mana Burn - The Healer(s)

PvE:
Unknown for now...

Yes but those spells arn't cheap, include the fact you might need to recast Prayer of Mending, Heal a priest or a party member etc - the popping in and out of Shadowform is very expensive too.

MB and SW are not cheap nukes either at all - I just found after 2 or 3 battles I was all out of mana and twiddling my thumbs.

They are still pretty damn fun though.

I havent run any of these combos but I like the 5 druid route maybe a little better than 5 SPs. While leveling up it probably doesnt matter...but if you do end up trying heroics someday you may get to a point where a tank may be essential or at least make things a lot easier. In that case you have the option to at least convert one druid to a tank. I hate the limited rezzability though...that is the only downside for me...because of that I probably would substitute one druid for a shaman or SP.
