PvP healing team

[heyaz]

My concern with going down to three is losing passive healing and anti-cc from the fourth shaman. I think you could do 5 and do even better; unlike stacking dps classes I've found they scale better vs more targets. For example if you have 4 dps you can maybe take on 2-3 decent players, but 8 dps wouldn't necessarily be able to take on 5 or 6 players. With 4 resto shaman I can take 4-8 players at once already.

I haven't even bound dps abilities yet but it may be beneficial so I can knock off one guy at a time, slowly.

Everyone seems really anti-boxing at the moment, much much worse than wrath (the last time I boxed). If you win, it's because they carried you. If you lose it's your fault. I ignore BG chat now.

10 mans:
- I'm usually told something along the lines of "lol go elemental who needs 4 resto", but I know better.
- During CTA especially with 2-3 man premades and hopefully a really beast FC, they love it. They know how to get the flag back without me and I can keep them alive forever or at least get people out of their way. Pugs are mixed, they often run around like retards and even though I tied up 6-8 of their team in the middle to give them a shot, they still blame me. If the FC dies it's my fault, although that's unlikely even with 10 stacks I can keep them up. We end up with a lot of 0-1 or 1-1 games where we end up losing.

15 mans:
- EOTS and AB I'm not well appreciated so far, with the exception of some instances in AB where we turtle the farm for 10 minutes and NO ONE DIES. Not my shaman, not the DPS. A few lone guys go cap the rest and we 4 or even 5 cap. People are so fixated on killing multiboxers and spamming emotes and lol, when they realize I'm quad resto and they're wasting their time, they end up losing the game. The emote spam stops after they pop enrage and heroism and what not and realize I'm not anywhere near dead. Then they're already engaged and my team's DPS is picking them off.


40 mans:
- Usually good. If they can understand the power of stacked healers they utilize me as much as possible. They tell me where they need me, ask me to come to Van to heal, etc.
My problem on defense has been not enough DPS or peels to support me and 20-30 players can unfortunately wipe me.
It's hard to blame 4x healers for a loss (or even a win) with 36 other players in there. But it has happened, and the weirdest thing always happens; without exception, 20-30 players on my team instantly get booted from the battleground. I can't figure out why


But overall don't expect much love. Multiboxing hate is near ubiquitous now. I don't know what happened between wrath and mop but, maybe more people were doing it, maybe they weren't as effective in Cata (I didn't box then), but everyone knows what it is and they mostly seem to hate it. I'm so tired of hearing ("well looks like we have to 6v10") - basic logic eludes these morons. I watch guild chat or combat log during BGs.
