With cata announced changes... leveling any new teams?

[Shodokan]

So far i've decided to level up 4x dk + disc priest... what about you guys? I'm liking some of the boomkin changes though too...

Curious if any changes sparked an interest in a new team for ya.

[Powerwar]

Currently my warlocks are at lvl 76, my boomkins at lvl 70, priests lvl 17 and mages at lvl 16.

Need to say that the warlocks were leveled several levels entirely in BGs. they all already have 2 lvl 80 PvP pieces bought for when they ding

After I finish and gear the locks I will go with the priests. I suspect that 5 x holy nova could be pretty hilarious in pvp.

Of the teams I was actively playing, not enough has changed for me to switch.
And of the teams I have, but am not playing much, not enough of a gain either.

Still doing:
a) Pal, 3x Shm, 1x Warlock.
b) Druid x5
c) Warlock x4, Disc.

Depending on how essential a dedicated healer is (for dispels), might trade something from the mixed team for a shaman on the main PvE team.

Not really into wow so much at the moment... I go in phases, between not playing much and logging 16-18 hrs a day for a month... so just doing transmutes and auction stuff for the last few weeks. Haven't quite finished the priests, but they've been an hour or two from 68th for a week. Still want to make DK's and get them to 68th for another 5 alchemists... And to level all alchemists to 73/75 or so, so they can immediately skill from 450 to 525 when Cataclysm arrives.

Lots of time still, and I'm making 30k a week even at my half-assed pace.

I'm going to be leveling up a team of everything x5 so i don't have to make those kinds of decisions anymore :P

I did that. Well not x5 of every class and I gotta say it wasnt worth it unelss you have an insane amount of time. Even then youre talking about burnout 10 times faster than normal.

I will also add that most people do arena to pwn better in BGs. With the focus going back to rated competive BGs I think theyre trying to either phase out arenas or make it a smaller niche.

Remember that the PvP landscape will probably look pretty different for Cataclysm with a focus on rated, competitive Battlegrounds.

This is something to consider when making new teams especially for pvp. I believe at current that there are only a few boxing combos that actually help win BGs and not just own the KB scoreboard while still losing.

I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on this FT. I tend to think that five ele's should make your list ... but AV has been embarrassing for us on Bloodlust the last couple o'weeks ... so maybe not (then again maybe it
just me and cata won't change a thing : ) )

[Kicksome]

Since they are making blood a tanking tree, my shamans won't get that 13% damage buff with my DK.

So I'll probably do a Druid tank and 4x shamans. That's the way I leveled in Wrath.

[Ualaa]

Well, I don't see Arena going away, just like hard modes.. they will still want to provide a challenge for the more hard-core player base.

But the game is about catering to the masses; look at the relative success compared to Everquest, which had a 95% market share for the genre. Rated battlegrounds is for the masses; I'd be somewhat surprised to see the non-rated BG's as that active really. I'd tend to think players will just queue for rated instead of non-rated bg's, as the game is the same, but you get much better rewards over time.

Arena will still be somewhat balanced, but rather then the primary concern be Arena and Raids, it will be Mass PvP and Raid balance.
At least that's my suspicion.

[Velassra]

I don't think I would level from the start again. I don't have any mages, so I might (probably not but maybe) make a trio of goblin mages after the initial rush is passed.

Most likely, I have assorted levels (some on different servers and opposite faction) that I may bring over and level to place maybe as a third team once my shaman are set at 80.

We'll see how multibox friendly or unfriendly Cataclysm turns out to be.
