Also I wouldn't recommend trying to mix in a pet class on your first team. Just too many aggravating things go wrong with a pet class, even when single boxing!

Thanks for the macro, I'll be trying that in a few more levels.Originally Posted by luxlunae
As for why the DPS take damage...
Some boss fights have summoned adds and turns out Avenger's Shield isn't enough aoe aggro.
SFK in particular, Baron Silverlaine was quite tough due to the summoned adds and any fight with adds, is a pain. Even just bunches of enemies can suck, although this is relative to size of group and proximity. If AS can hit them on entry (and I can sheep one) it can be ok. Usually, trash/single target is ok.
When I get Hammer of the Righteous the issue should go away, I hope! (it should get much better at 29 all around, I think. How on the Paladin and Atonement on the Priest.)
Yeah, this is pretty universal across games I think.Lesson learned here, but I'm stubburn and will stick with this team awhile longer.
One might say I can now see the value of 1 Paladin and 4 Shamans. K.I.S.S.
Just as an update to this...
The mixed team is at level 51 now. It does work alright, but I have to say the warlock is massively underwhelming. This might be due to my macro-fu failing, but still...
Priest has been smite spamming for healing since level 29, it did work better, but it is also tapering off now and I find myself click-healing via video-fx more and more.
So far, all RDF dungeons have been doable up to this point, but I found out the hard way that if a toon dies and the rest of your group kills the final boss, the dead toon does't get experience and gets left one whole level behind... Silly/small stuff and I corrected it with quests later, but it was annoying to have them that far off one another.
I'll take this team to 80-81 then start a all-orc warrior+4shamans. Or maybe it'll be time to get the DKs started.
That is most likely a gear issue. I still smite heal on my priest at 85, get the divine accuracy glyph and the smite glyph and maybe a little green gear from the AH an you will be healing with just smite again in no time.

At 70, the disc priest just stopped working. Doing Utgarde Keep and he just couldn't keep up...
Switched priest to Holy, now stuck on Ingvar. Got him down to 10% (phase 2) but just can't get better than that...
Hunter suddenly dropped to 4th in the dps stats...
Paladin > Mage > Warlock > Hunter
Hunter used to be above mage much earlier on... (granted mage has been getting some decent upgrades lately...
EDIT: Ingvar down.

Are you in BoA gear or just random blue/green gear from questing/dungeons. I leveled three disc priests in seperate teams (with BoA's) and I had no problem smite spamming my way to 85.
Priest is in a mix of dungeon/tailored gear.
What macros were you using for disc to 85?
Ingvar's still hard at 71.
Keristrasza down at level 72.
Had to ask my wife to click the strafe-slave keys for me.
/castsequence reset=5 Holy Fire, Smite, Smite, Smite, SmitePriest is in a mix of dungeon/tailored gear.

/castsequence reset=15 Power Word: Shield, Renew, Prayer of Mending, Flash Heal, Flash Heal, Flash Heal (I pretty much do this before the pull to prehot/bubble tank.
/nochanneling
/cast Prayer of Healing
FYI for keristraza you don't need to strafe just mass dispel with the priest and press ctrl + space to make the slaves jump
Also if you have a pally tank a really good thing you can do if your healing is lacking is change your castsequence macro to cast Word of Glory on your tank and run with Seal of Insight. The seal will heal you for alot at lower levels so I would start just with that. If your still behind then definately use WoG in your castsequence macro. Everytime you over heal with your pally you "bubble" your self for the over heal meaning you get a free no heal.
Yeah, I use WoG quite a bit.
On Kirstrasza, the mass dispell would have been good, but I just found it easier to have someone else handle the strafe/jump than having to pay attention to every single aspect myself. Worked very well, she just looked at the screen and strafed in between heals.
At level 76 now, just finished Drak'Tharon Keep.
Happy with the group so far.
I will give your Smite spam a try, but I am quite happy with my Holy spam now.
