5x Druids fun

[shaeman]

I have an expensive panic wipe-battlerez-recovery-button, where everybody tries to battlerez everybody else. A little bit exaggerated and expensive (I end up with 2-4 used reagents for one battlerez), but worthwhile from time to time if I am at the final boss and am not in the mood to run back those 5-10 minutes. Round-robin for the non-balance setup makes more sense, I should set this cheaper variant up.

I'm pretty sure there is a glyph for druids that stops the reagent usage on battleresses.

My roflkins are lvl 38 at the moment... but they pwn in PvP and PvE.

In PvE it's just starfire spam. I have a mass heal button that puts 5 regrowth + 5 renew on the druid that has aggro, so no need for tank at all. 5 DPs so far, not that you need a tank for pre WOLK instances.

In PvP I do mainly AB runs. My favorite spots are stealthed in a bush at max range from the flag oneshoting everyone... or just run to enemy flag and insect swarm + moonfire everyone and watch them die while I cap their flag.

Also I never run stuck with no mana. Just shapeshift to cat form and mew mew pew pew. Found that a bear tank + 4 cats can down usually ?? level mobs without much problems as long as I shapeshift and heal-hot the bear druid every 30 seconds.
In pvp it's even better.

Yesterday in AB I just had my big LOL moment with round robin tranquility becoming virtually immortal for almost a minute.

3 boomkins would need 8 keymaps to cover the different possibilities.
000 no proc, normal dpsing
001 one proc
010 one proc
100 one proc
011 two
101 two
110 two
111 three

so suffice it to say, mind boggling =D

edit: I'll have to read Ulaa's thread. He usually has some good ideas!

No just 3 - you would toggle the abilities independently

I'd like to see someone do it effectively....I mean dpsing/healing and tanking and then managing procs on three characters... ugh.

While it will be possible to hit the keys, I don't really see it as viable in a group type (tank, heals, dps) situation.

With my 5x boomkin group, I can stand the druids in a line and spam away.
And hit the toggles as the addon calls them out.
But even then, it's a lot of clicking and just spamming one or the other is probably preferable.

Or maybe macro it, so its 3x Wrath, 4x Starfire or something similar.
That should be close enough to proc Eclipse on most of them, and then benefit from Starfire.

In a 3x dps, 1x tank and 1x healer, with anything remotely challenging...
I don't really see managing Eclipse as remotely possible.

Well for a stationary target, it might be, but how often is your target stationary?
We can mouse click to heal with repeater regions very easily.
And we can spam our dps key which is also our tank key.
But would need to manage 3+ hotkeys for Eclipse at once.

I look at the Eclipse management as something to do from range with 5x Boomkin.
And just do an approximation, while other things happen that are more important.

Its not that hard - I would suggest reading the post though

When you get a raid message to hit a certain key you hit it and thats it

[Ualaa]

With keymaps the general idea is:

A keymap that sends Wrath on a spam key.
A keymap that sends Starfire on a spam key.
A keymap to control which one is pressed, despite both using the same spam key.

You'll constantly spam... say 1...
And each druid will have three keymaps.
But you'll only need to press 1 toggle key per druid.
And an addon can be configured to tell you which key to push.

Anyone have cool/neat idea's they've done or would like to do with 5x Druids?

Im no expert at all and I think I would have difficult with managing this under normal circumstances.

But I also tend to "panic" sometimes and spam spam spam buttons all over the place haha.
