I am decently happy with an all druid team so far but always trying to tinker with the best layout.
Ilvl is 417-420.
1x Guardian, 4x Boomkin. This past week was the first time I tried anything harder than a +2, and did two different +5's with a pretty bad affix of sanguine.
The benefit of this team is that you can fully stealth and skip stuff you don't want to face, I'm thinking that may be a huge advantage to pull off a +10 in this season if possible.
The team does struggle with mobility dps though as well as large aoe is not as effective as other classes.
yeah, that sounds really good too, but the problem as i see it is that currently the game is ridiculously alt unfriendly. so i had to pick one team and stick to it. i have Monks, hunts, locks and druids besides palas... i had to pick one. druids looked really nice (all feral in my case), same with monks... but palas is the only sure thing thanks to all their Defensives and utility skills.

they have lots of tools like bubble, HoF, Sacrifice, real CC with repentance, AOE Hard CC with blind (interrupts all casts even uninterruptible ones), AND access to Jes' Howler. so i went with palas. (also, belfs have AOE dispel)


5x Howler will give a +25%ish damage and can be used at the same time you do wings for another +20% damage, crit + pot and Flame with 2 stacks... the end result is a burst of 150k+ team dps for 20seconds. pretty op for tanks. even better with drums.

on AOE situations it can make crazy pulls possible. ( Like pulling all the mobs up to the boss on Freehold possible on low keys), and also a lot of big pulls can de achieved by Cycling the AOE blind CC, you can still deal 100% holy damage and the CC wont break. so that's almost 28 seconds of no incoming damage or abilities while you can burst down priority targets.


i can see Monks being completely broken next tier, but currently palas seems to be the way. we still need to see if new essences will be added.
