5 priests doing instances at level - lot of fun

[Moorea]

I'm having a ton of fun with my 5 priests:

The team:

(that's after nagrand quests, pretty recent)

Ramparts at 60x3, 61x2


Omor gave me a bit of trouble and I had to come back at 61 and a bit better gear to finish him:


Blood furnace (yes it was close on that last boss ;-) )


First slave pen boss took me a few tries until I realized I needed to kite him away from his totems instead of trying to down his totems:


Last boss of slave pen I couldn't do at 63, I had to come back at 65:


Underbog:



AV is also a lot of fun

That is the great thing about boxing. How often do you see a PUG of 5 priest. Love it.

Wow, I wouldn't have thought it possible, cloth gets hit pretty hard.

[Marious]

Well done Moorea, yeah you think that the clothies be getting owned in there, but proved wrong again.

Ebola used to run a 5-man shadow priest gang on Magtheridon. Mind blast x5 was a one-shot on most anyone back before resilience. And enjoy your dungeon runs now while you still survive. When you hit 70ish, go try Shattered Halls or Mechanar/Arcatraz. There are bosses and 5-pulls in there that absolutely mutilate squishies. Which is pretty much why I stopped playing mine. :P

And let us know how far you get at-level. It's possible that the new talents or a particular build is viable for the normal mode stuff at level.

I'm specc'ed holy/disc combo for better shield and bonus dmg and lower mana cost on holy nova; on trash in UB I was doing 1.5k dps with each level 64 priest just spamming holy nova; which is higher than some of my level 80 guys (but obviously a gimmick of the aoe) - this is what keeps my guys alive when hit by tons of melee, pain suppression also helps (for AV too) - boss fights are a bit harder as you can see from the screen shots :-)

My girls are 69 now so I can try some of those dungeons soon (though I don't have the key for shattered halls... I guess I can do the quest line maybe or find a rogue or someone to open)

What about managing aggro a bit? I was thinking using different levels of spells to bounce aggro around on bosses. Say use a rank3 on one priest then use rank 4 on another, etc. Might help a little bit for NR instances?

[Moorea]

I was thinking of round robin'ing fade to bounce aggro around or using the talent to reduce aggro on the 4 but it turns out just engaging with the main first and putting 5 renew on it is enough/easier to manage - I also don't mind killing my main if I pull too many as long as the others can finish - repairs on cloth are cheap

yah the quest isn't hard for the key, you may need your warrior to tank the fel reaver.

[Moorea]

I farmed the mats for the key yesterday, I'll try without tank first :-) [my warrior is left behind at 62 or so; if I can't beat down the fel reaver with the 5 priests, I'll use my 80 pally]
