Added a 6th and 7th to the team...Resto Druids

[cmeche]

Well I finally got my druids to 80, and I am planning to run them as Resto for healing my 5 shammy team for mainly doing mass pvp. I knew going from a party -> raid team would bring in a few problems, but i didnt realize that you cant que up your raid for a BG. I guess the only way would be to split the raid into two partys and que up that way. But is there an easier way to do this?

I did a quick WG tonight with all 7 and like it even though my healing consists of only wild growth spam. Now I just have the long haul of gearing the druids.

On another note....I actually lvled 4 druids to 80. 2 of which are on 2 of my shamans account so as of now, they will hardly see any more action. But lvling 4 druids spec as resto in AV was freaking cool. I could wipe/prolong horde at Bal by just healing the shit out of her.

overkill imo

thanks for the info

thanks for the info

he's never been particularly helpful.

Preform AV enabler has always worked well for me, I've queued up to 7 of my own toons before and up to 35 or so individual players.

I don't placate grown adults, but keep on crying about it.

it's overkill. Is this an enhancement group or something? If you have trouble healing with 5 elemental shaman in BG's, well, lol.

*facepalm*

For your battleground queue problem you might want to try this addon.

you can queue other BGs in a raid, but ironically the larger BGs you can only queue as 5 or less with the built in system. The Preform AV enabler mentioned earlier makes it possible, but a bit less reliable. You have to be careful before you click "join" as it doesn't guarantee that ll the toons will get into the same BG. It's not that bad. I often run with some guildies, or some pocket healers and use the addon all the time. IMO its a dumb limitation. I hope when they make rated BGs that you can queue in a larger group.

on my BG theres this group that does "cross realm premades" and it messes it up for everyone else, because they get 40+ people all queueing for AV, along with the regular people queueing, and if they dont ALL get into the same one, they leave the queue and start over, BUT the way the system works now is that it wont start an AV until there are 40 ppl in queue, so what happens is, AV starts with like 15-20 ppl on one side, which is almost always a loss. People start to trickle in, but usually its too late. On top of that the premade people actively attempt to boot all other players not in their group, by standing away from the entrance, and marking everyone else AFK right at the start, to free up spots for the rest of them (they organize this over Vent so to keep stuff out of /bg chat.)

I'm really getting sick of being AFK marked, when I'm not AFK.
I suppose I can return the favor - target someone, FTL Assist Me, broadcast R.Click and mark as afk.

From the gates of AV, you are pretty much screwed if you are marked AFK.
But then you could screw their raid very quickly too, as a boxer, if you notice half the AV hanging back.

I hope enough people ticket this bull shit.
It is the squeeky wheel that gets the grease.
GM's probably don't enjoy a hundred tickets in a day, which basically say "he hit me".
Not that, "hit him back" is a real solution either.

We multiboxers can insta report someone 3x = idle = 1 min to get in pvp combat or get ported out.
That, i'll tell you is more a good thing then a bad thing for us. example:
Yesterday, WSG, a lvl 73 mage(7k hp) a lvl 78 DK(19k hp) and me x 4 were standing in horde flagroom with one of my slaves holding the alliance flag. Alliance also had our flag in their base. So i ask the DK if he can grab the flag, so i could get our flag back. He agrees, i drop the flag... and the mage picks it up....... So i ask him kindly to drop it because HP is important for a flag carrier etc. He's like: no i'm pro stfu. sooooooo /report afk x 3. Then i make sure every alliance incoming dies before they touch the mage(he didn't even try to get in combat) and after a minute the mage is gone.

So i was having a load of fun.

You could also abuse it, but that's probably not "as intended" by reporting people afk the second AV starts. You pretty much have to suicide into the opposing raid going for galv or balinda to don't get ported out.
