5 druids pve..

[valle2000]

Is anybody rocking 5x balance?

I'm curious about this combo as well in PvE. I've tried the 5x mages and it was very fun. Will 5 moonkins be able to pull off the same tactic? Pure dps-power and let all five of them have aggro bouncing between them?

Bumps for the updates. I have a 5 druids sitting at 80 now for like 9 months, looking into the cata abilitys of them. This thread has shed a little light, but I put more effort into my easymode sham pally combos which is why I have never been great with my droods. My problem was holding aggro, as well as effective healing.
Last I played them they were bear tank, 3 balance and tree which I guess is more of a buff than a transform now. Any success story's would be helpfull!

How funny,

I ended up running 5x bears and am outperforming 1xbear and 4xcat - survivability is MUCH higher, and more mbox friendly.

I am 5x74 now, and finding huge problems with bosess in late BC and early WOTLK instances - some is mechanics issues which are just hard in mbox, but some seems like a dps problem.

Anyone who has experienced, do you have any guidelines on dps? I have pretty good AH gear (2h weapons in the 106-121 dps range), but the bears seem to be stuck between 700-900 dps each (so 3500-4500 combined dps) - against 180k bosses, the figths might just be taking too long. Any thoughts on my combined dps from any of you who have done similar setups?

Thanks!

Leveling 5x druids myself, currently level 75
ive done almost every instance so far with main as resto and rest 4x bear tanks, dps so far isnt that much less than cats, instances running nice and smooth with 4 bears

Ive spent most of 70-75 doing av and its been extremely fun with 5 ferals
Not sure how they will be in cata instances, dont think its going to go well.

After trying unsuccessfully to run 5x balance druids, I am now switching over to 5x bear tanks. The advantage being that I can sub out the lead druid and use my heroic raid geared main (a bear tank also) who takes almost zero damage from most 5 man mobs.

The gear will be uneven though and I suspect that will offset the advantage of being able to bounce aggro between 5 similarly geared bear tanks and gaining sufficient rage and vengeance on the others.
