5 Boxing druids. Deathknights in the mix?

[Justahobo]

Hello! As of now, I'm current Five Boxing druids, all DPS, my main is Tank/Boomkin. Anywho, I was wondering, once I hit 55, should I get maybe two or three Deathknights in the mix? In order to solo things a bit easier? Maybe one blood, and one unholy.

But playing three different specs might be a pain. Has anyone ever tried two Melee and three ranged? Thoughts? If any, feedback is appreciated!

Edit: Also loot distribution is alot easier. Seeing as tanking plate to one, dps plate to another. Boomkins can split between cloth and Leather.

Edit-Edit: The toons are about level 45

I'm very unenthusiastic about druids this expansion. Resto is the worst heal spec in the game, guardian is the one tank spec no one wants to have to heal and boomkins are mediocre. Feral does decent dps. So I guess I'd say swap four of them out for dks!

(I personally just levelled disc/shadow/guardian/elemental/affliction from 85-90 and I've decided to account transfer my level 90 monk so I can swap with the druid).

I see your point, I do thoroughly enjoy DeathKnights, and Playing boomkin is over all to me. Just meh. I'm not the best multiboxer, matter of fact, even when all my guys at Specced Balance, I noticed I down mobs faster in cat form. Regardless of the fact I'm not geared for it. When I picked four druids, I had one thing in mind Off healing In lower level battlegrounds I couldn't die. But at the same time. I sucked at damaged because I had to turn my boomkins around, take time to cast, etc. I do have a 70 Shammy sitting around. Maybe I'll heal with my druid until then?

Do you know of a Deathknight Multiboxer? Or a guide somewhere?

~Also cudios for leveling 5 different specs at once, God speed to you sir!

I love my mixed group. I play guardian, fury warrior, surv hunter, enh shaman, and holy pally. All 8 buffs, hero and skull banner, crazy burst and good off heals from shaman make it a strong team IMO.

I don't understand how you can box with a hunter, seeing as that all their spells are like... Shots with hardly a cast time. I guess that because you have alot of Melee is can work. But to me, it seems like alot to manage.

In general, you build your DPS so you're spamming one key.
Given your DPS is one button spam, it doesn't really matter what you're playing since you'll be spamming the same button.

If the classes have a cast time, you spam away and a lot of the clicks are wasted... but its still decent DPS.
If the abilities are instant, the spam continues.
Either way, you spam a key for your DPS.

You manage the positioning of your toons.
Their facing.
If they're on follow or have broken follow.
If you have melee, the IWT and possibly the breaking of movement, to prevent run-offs.

You manage the tanking toon, if you have one.
If its PvP, you manage trinkets.
Irregardless of your focus, there will be a few cooldowns to manage, the more so the stronger your boxing but the more complex and harder to play it.

You also manage your healing, if you include a healer.

In general...
If you have melee and ranged...
You're still running the tank, using a Repeater Region to heal and spamming a key for the DPS to do their thing.

Would anyone think a combination of 3x Deathknights (1x Blood 2x Dps), Healing Druid, (Switch to priest 80), then a Hunter or a Boomkin as ranged?

I think hunter for the cats boost to Agility. But the boomkin throws 5% spell haste in the mix.
Another pro to the druid is the Battle Rez.

Decisions, decisions...

Edit: Forgot the undead class can Rez people from the dead... Durp.

Hunter it is.

What are your goals? PvP? PvE? Raiding? Heroics? Challenge modes? Different groups work better for different things.

PvE mainly, although PvP I want to be tons of fun.
