Currently Running a Priest Duo

[Warky]

Well wondering would i be better increasing the number of accoutns (dont really want too) or would i be better changing the classes.

Priests seem ok but im not sure if i would be better with locks instead or mages.

Got 2 accounts 1 on main machine and 1 on laptop

any ideas. also possibly my brother might be joining and he somtimes comes across as a tanky but who knows

What's your goal? A 2-man PvP team? Or world PvP? PvE instances? Just to have fun?

People play different combos for different reasons.. you should at least enjoy it.

well wanted to do mostly pve im not really a pvp type person, was thinking instances but i thinks i may need to have a tank realistically.

:shock:

You want to do like....instances....with 2 priests.....you do realize you'll be doing Stockades at like level 40....

Yes, you do need a tank for any hopes at not dying past SM at 70. If you're not careful, a "boosting" (god I hate that word) Mage even with deep Ice spec can die on bosses in SM if you run out of mana at inopportune times. So good luck on anything past SM as a cloth tank. ;P

what would you recomend i do instances with then a tank and a healer ? or two mages or maybe add a tank to my priest duo ?

Paladin Tank + Shaman

This would be my pick of that list. Paladin spec'd AoE-Protection, with the Shaman throwing chain lightning, totems, and heals. The fact that they can both heal and rez is a big plus, so combined with the Shaman's self-rez, there should only rarely be a need for a corpse run.

Personally, I loved my paladin/mage combo more than any other pair I worked on. The only downside is it's rather slow to level until you can AoE with the paladin starting around level 30, and the mage can't rez at all unless he's an engineer. With a paladin spec'd AoE-Protection, health can be maintained while the mage uses AoE for a group attacking the paladin, or CC/nuke on smaller fights. This pair can handle much larger groups of mobs than the paladin/shaman combo. Imagine gathering up 15 with the paladin, using typical AoE-spec skills and talents (Redoubt, Reckoning, Judgement/Seal of Light, Retribution Aura, Blessing of Sanctuary, Consecrate), decent gear focused on stamina and strength for reducing damage taken (high armor/shield and especially shield spike), and once he's got solid aggro, flamestrike/blizzard till death. Plus, you get the benefit of unlimited water & portals, with a wide range of useful skills - cleanse/remove curse, counterspell, sheep, etc. Make the mage an engineer to jumper cable your paladin in case of death.

ive yet to get burning crusade i was going to get to 50 first as ive not really vexed warcraft properly as im a daocer :P

quite like the idea of palladin and mage. + ill probbly have access to my bros accoutn when hes not playing so should be able to fit in another toon or powerlevel his.

The one hurdle i find is getting past 12+ dont know why but cant seem to find any quests and hanging around westthingy isnt great.

Ill give the palladin + mage a go i can probbly get to lvl 10 in an evening or so.

But i dont mind pugging well i dont mind pugging with people who dont scream "HEAL HEAL HEAL" all the time

and i multi box because i findi t more of a challenge to play 2 toons at once 5 accounts for me isnt really justifiable at the moment but ill see at 50 if i get into the game more.
