Optimal builds - recapping, checking to see what I've missed

[JohnGabriel]

My prot pali team still has the crappy DPS and in addition most of the self heals are gone. They suck now, but its to be expected as we dont have the bfa gear/talents yet.

It looks like they might want us having a healer now. I am going to make sure I have enough level 110s for a few trinity teams and maybe something like 4 DPS 1 Heals.

[Bzyta]

I can confirm mine are no longer basically unkillable. Still good, but notably less resistant to gratuitous AoE damage.

Was having hard time doing +13 MoS after pre patch hit, gotta be more careful when it comes to taking damage, self healing is not like before Also change that makes you cannot swap gear during mythic+ runs hurts a lot, but when I went with a friend healer and played 4 dk's it was fine most of the time, so 4 dks 1 heal could be the way to go.

[philadelphe]

A pala heal with 4 dk can be ok. Maybe not the best heal for that but he can respec into prot if 5 tank is ok.
I'm thinking about get 3 dk into unholy or frost. But i'm not sure if it worth to try it.

[Fat Tire]

I would imagine any team/class that sucks right now will not be by 8.1, so I wouldnt start a bunch of new teams based on current gameplay

Class Changes

• Class development is an ongoing process. There will be ongoing tuning and balancing for the next few weeks to keep things sane, then focus will shift to making all specs viable at Battle for Azeroth endgame.
• The team will also tune Azerite Powers to keep them competitive.
• Larger changes will happen in Patch 8.1 and beyond.

My push group: Prot Pal or DK with Priest and 3 hunter

Other Groups: 5prot pal and 5dk with monk and priest heals on stand by to do 4x1.

I have mixed caster and melee groups that I'm messing with.
Up and coming druid group as well.

My push group is doing 13+ after pre patch. Hoping to do a 15 this week only been back a month lol.

That's amazing, whats your ilvl on your team? I have gone back to Druids over the Hunterx4/Sham combo as it's viable for PvP,
I'm at Ilvl 206-211 on them and have done a +5 and 3 chest it, I know I can do a lot more than that but managing a tank + ranged feels so clunky compared to an all melee or all ranged team, missing out on being able to /follow at a whim to get them back together is hurting.
Perhaps there is a tactic I'm missing in the process.

About same ilvl as you listed

Sounds like I need to push it then before end of Legion (this week). Is there some dungeons you won't touch such as EoA? I always think about the hardest dungeon and go from there. I guess if it was a DHT, higher push wouldn't be too bad.

Follow up, I did my first ever quaking affix, which was a +7 Nelth's last night and holy cow was it just not fun. I missed my +3 chest by about a minute. The constant spreading through was exhausting. I feel like this affix was specifically designed against us

It did let me know that this team is pretty strong (Druids) and am putting all my eggs into this basket for BFA. I do have Sham/Hunter at 110 and Paladins, but I was disappointed in the paladins heals, super strong single target but aoe wasn't what I was hoping for.

What's your Druid team? 5 man, all Druids? Which specialization(s)? Looking for ideas on a second 5 man team.
