Tankadin Plus 4 Shammies still good for PvE ?

[MiRai]

I'm debating if I should come back to WoW with the MoP release. I have an old Tankadin plus 4 Shaman team sitting at level 80 from Wotlk. I'm only interested in doing PvE questing and dungeon runs. I'm not interested in PvP. Is this still a good team with the current changes plus what is coming in MoP?

I'm not sure you could ever go wrong with a Paladin and 4 Shaman from a PvE standpoint.

WotLK was toughest time to PvE box, cata was so easy you could do it half asleep.

I would say that WotLK was, by far, the easiest expansion to PvE box thanks to the mindless ,,,,, macros. By the end of WotLK Naxxramas had been 10-boxed, EoE had been 10-boxed, OS had been 10-boxed, ToC had mostly been 10-boxed, and a lot of ICC had been 10-boxed (even Nejcha downed LK with her 4 Shaman and 6 singles). To date, no Cataclysm raid has been successfully 10-boxed from start to finish and we've only got 2 months left on this expansion.

The loss of the comma based /click macros paired up with the original difficulty of Cataclysm heroics were the bane of a lot of multiboxers. Many multiboxers have probably quit because of how difficult Cataclysm was/is and I'll bet there are still plenty of multiboxers who haven't done all of the heroics they've wanted to (has heroic Deadmines been successfully 5-boxed?).

Yes, I have boxed every heroic, most of the achievements boxed as well. I am sure others have as well (deadmines isn't the hardest either)

Yes, pally with 4 ele is still a strong PVE team if you have a smooth transition to healing your tank when needed. That's the set up I run for my heroics anyway.

But yea, John, wotlk heroics were a complete joke. Went in with pal+4 ele, geared in blues and steamrolled everything. Boss kills took like what... 8-16 seconds? Once you tank started getting stam and avoidance, that was it. Barely anyone else took dmg. Hell, my pally could almost solo hhalf the heroics, the shams just made it faster

100% agree.. i cleared every heroic in wotlk, and once i had some gear, it was easy mode.
