PvP healing team

[remanz]

heyaz got some great info here. But I want to reiterate why does it have to be 5. For BGs, I find 3 is the optimal number for me. My team is barely noticable in the bg so there is no rage. This is kinda important as I do read bg chats and what they say do bother me if it is all hateful rage. I can take flags by myself. I can also defend. I am not 1 shotting but there is also more to do. More control and finer CD management. One of my slave gets focused, I actually switch to his window manually control his movement and run away to heal himself while the other 2 continue auto-IWT smashing my target. Think about it, how do you use pvp trinket on just 1 character, or bubble on 1 character. You can do it, but with 5 to manage it is clunky and slow.

3 seems a bit underpowered in 40 man bg. But in 40 man, alliance and horde barely fight each other as they are so busy rushing for objectives. So playing 3 are also not too bad there. Obviously if you also want to run heroics then you need 5 accounts, and you don't want the other 2 to be left behind. But if your focus is pvp, I don't think you need 5.

Also 1 minor benefit for me was, my PC was not as beefy as others. So I was having medium on main with no AA and all 4 slaves on low settings with no AA. Now after down sizing, I was able to beef up my graphic settings on main. It looks hella better now.

as for pvp healing, shockdin can go offense. 4 or 5 of them can kill. Holy shock + Holy wrath + word of glory + judgment x 5. From what I can see, they are more offensive than restore shamans. Anti CC, and mobility, they are not that hot.
