I see. I need to think about it. And yes, all existing hots are added to the threat. You pretty much insta pull aggro on the priest if the warriors don't do serious aoe damage from the beginning
Maybe doing the same with caster cleave and priest is the best idea because I'm not anti-shaman. I just thought spirit tap can be the trick for no downtimes
Spirit tap helps but there will be drinking needed for sure. Priests just aren’t as efficient with healing as for example pallies are. MMMMP or WWWWP are both excellent, depends on what flavour you want! I love the utility of my WWWWP group for helping with mass raid summons, getting my warrior around for SF and just overall chaos in pvp. I’ve ran with priest as a disc, deep holy and shadow weaving with this group but overall find deep holy to be the best.
Your priest in this case is a healer AND mana battery for your locks, nothing beats lifetap and prayer of healing!
Done dungeons with locks as SL and even less ideally as DSruin when I was running them in our alt raid. DS ruin is good but SL locks in dungeons are just so durable. Nothing like rounding things up with voids as your mini tanks hellfire everything to death.

Hehe, that sounds cool. Why no mage instead of the 4th warlock or a warlock instead of the 4th mage?
Tbh it was my first go multiboxing and keeping things simple class diversity wise was my goal, haha. In retrospect though, totally could have done that. I do love my crew though so I’m happy with it.
To some degree playing fewer classes simplifies things but in part it depends on what your planned playstyle is and what does it bring to the party...Originally Posted by ChrisGG
If you are doing 4MP focused on AoE I think it can be harder to mix in the lock as some folk's 4MP playstyle is moving and round-robin freezing of mobs a few steps out of melee range while you Arcane Explosion and a Lock needs to stay still to channel AoE... With the level 60 Lock PVP gloves you could do a no-push-back searing pain Lock_Tank+3M+Paladin though that is not typical and moves playstyle toward Sheeping and Focused Fire single target threat as a Lock can have issues trying to maintain multi-target Threat. While it could be viable it likely would be more optimal with an AoE tank like a Paladin and go 3M with a Priest healer...
Swapping a Mage into a 4LP team can also work if you are focused on AoE but doesn't buy you that much in Warlock AoE pulls and you lose 1 of your Round Robin AoE Taunts from the Voids. A mage can AoE fine with the Warlocks and can also focus fire but may tend to pull aggro from the Voids while the DoTs don't seem to that much.
If you are thinking more on which team you want to run you may benefit from reading this page on 5boxing team options.

to everything that has been said, at some point you will just mess up and wipe at emporor in the very last corner of brd while farming your hoj, and then you wonder why you didnt pick the class that can reincarnate
Good point. That brings to mind that one advantage of 3Warriors+2Paladins is that one Paladin can sacrifice to protect the other for wipe protection.
As alliance i would do that aswell. Although mostly because I'd like to try the prot paladin + triple arms with ravager combo
The issue with any kind of prot or ret pally in a melee mix like warriors (in classic) is that mana is always an issue. I had two friends that were running 4xwars and holy pally and what makes it amazing is that there's really no downtime. Holy pallies are SO mana efficient and your warriors aren't limited by resources. Both liked the concept of ravager initially but found the proc annoying in a multi and quickly replaced them with Bonebiter instead.As alliance i would do that aswell.

I uploaded a video of my Hpal/bear druid/3 combat rogues in SM that I found from 7 months ago. I'll have to sit down this week and get some current gameplay at max level (and could also go through talents then). Please forgive my nubness, this was my first melee multi and looking back there's SO many things I could have optimized!
Hope you like it! No commentary as I was just showing some friends what I was up to at the time.
