10M Raiding w/ two people

[luxlunae]

I would NOT attempt hunters as your first raiding group, unless you have tons of experience boxing them in heroics and things. I have a mistrust of pets and they can't offheal or help you at all if things get dicey on the tank/healing half of the raid

Are you dedicated to running disc as your first healer (if so, why?).

My optimal healing trio would probably be an hpal, a resto druid and a holy priest. It's hard to argue with the power of tranq/hymn now that the cooldowns are so low.
Although the stackability of double druid hots would be pretty enticing as well.

If you decide you'd rather have some more boost spriests swap over and offer (generally) better dps than a druid or a shaman so that's what I'd do for my third healer.




for her dps I'd probably run 5 casters. Mages put out good dps even without gear, so I'd probably do 3 arcane mages, a boomkin for the battle rez and an elemental shammy for the spellpower buff/healing rain.

I don't know how committed each of you are to "this is my toon, this is your toon" so it would definitely be helpful to have that hybrid flexibility on one of "her" toons with the druid. There are definitely going to be fights where you will want a little independent movement from the tanks (think thaddius).


edit: possibly swap the boomkin for an spriest... spriests can throw out minor bubbles while staying in shadow form and they do nice dps. I wouldn't do that unless you were sure you wanted to handle all the battle rezzing yourself though.
