What’s your opinion? Moving from team of 3 to 5?

[nodoze]

well I decided to heed the advice and have added two new accounts and am now catching up a couple more mages to play with the lock/priest/mage I already had going. Hopefully this works out nicely and let’s me have some fun trying dungeons and learning new strategies.

My Lock and Main Mage were at 20 and the priest was at 18, so as soon as I got the 2 new mages to 16 I headed into Deadmines to give it a shot. Made it up to the 2nd boss but ran out of mana on the priest during his 2nd phase and died.....didn’t get a chance to head back in as it was to late but will keep going and see if I can finish it off.

I do sort of wonder if I will regret not having a real tank....but heck right now those 3 mages AE blast very nicely!

Congrats on the 5box team.

Personally I recommend waiting for DM/VC until 20 (and then train up before going in) and would grind the level 17-18 Crawlers on the Hyperspawn list to 20:

If you haven't already I think you have upto 7 days to Recruit-A-Friend yourself to give yourself almost 1 free subscription (potentially in perpetuity).

When you get higher levels (40+) you can try to use the Warlock as Tank by going the SoulLink route though you may need to get to 60 for everything to come together (not 100% sure). I personally haven't tried it and would love to hear back if you do try it. I posted links for it on another thread and can look for those if you are interested.

Edit: I went ahead and searched and found the best discussion on Warlock Tanks I could find. It starts on the following post and continues through a few posts with links:

Note: In re-reading the guides linked Warlock Tanks really benefit from having a Paladin Healer due to Concentration Aura (Improved) stacking with the PVP Searing Pain gloves (plus the lowering of aggro on teammates). A Horde Warlock Tank can only get 50-60% immune to pushback on Searing Pain but an Alliance Warlock Tank can easily get 100% immune with a Paladin in the party/raid.

IF you learn how to use your team, it can be pretty good.. right now people feel 4mages+priest are the best for farming dungons for gold. There are a lot of great posts in threads like this one>> https://www.dual-boxing.com/threads/...MMMMP-AoE-spec. Im not sure how having a lock in place of one mage changes things..i think the benefits would help ( tank pet ) .. and being able to soulstone your priest..being able to summon group members back when they port back to sell/repair ect.

I really like having at least 1 lock on my team as the utility is really great and you can play a lock much like a mage.

Currently for my lock team I have on my 6th account a 60 Mage for free ports/water/food. If I was doing Mages I would at least have a Lock on my 6th account though I like having at least 1 Lock actually in the party more than 1 Mage.
