Well... I did it...

"As long as you are having fun, thats all that matters. I hope you enjoy your shammies!"

and i can guarantee you that you wont hit a brick wall at 70.
a tip is that you skill enchanting on one char and farm 1st boss in sethekk from 68 to 70 this will get you exalted and give you a nice mainhand to go with =)

Aye, the point is doing what you enjoy, as I prev stated. You want to play 5 shammies- go for it- enjoy! Just be ready for the VERY challenging endgame if you intend to instance.
If you enjoy and thrive off that challenge- great. it can be done- it has been done. Not arguing that. Just saying its probably not even close to the optimal mix for this sort of thing.

And yeah, i'm still not impressed with the advice given. Nothing personal there. But you confirmed my exact concern about the expressed interest in heroics yet still give the advice to go that way? *sigh*

SInce you have your husband and his/your friends to group with anyhow, there's not much to gain from bringing 5 shammies in a heroic anyhow (unless it's just a badge run). Take 3x shammies and 2 buddies into a heroic at a time and you still get all the shammie drops.



edit-I didn't feal like rolling a tank so i'll just be finding a few good tanks on the server at 70 and swapping out a mage for one of them to run whatever.
