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

[Lyonheart]

Thanks for the info and tips. Spent a fair amount of time reading through the warlock tanking information and really glad I had added the lock to my group after going down that rabbit hole.

The worst part about finding these forums is reading to much and then wondering what different teams would be like and wanting to try them all! Trying to remind myself to focus and just keep going with the team I have first and then I can screw around. ������������

I think if the plan is to have a 5 man team that will be viable for 5 man content for now and the future. Any tank+heal+3dps should include a lock for the first team. I still wish i had leveled one with my first team. But im glad i have one on the way up now.

Ok I like the utility of the Lock being with the group, but I am wondering about the usefulness once I start to AE blast things down with the 3 mages. Any suggestions on how to use the lock more effectively when I am AR blasting everything.....or at least trying too 😜

I started AoEing with my Locks at Level 20 via casting Rain of Fire @player and from Level 30+ via Hellfire. There are only 6 levels where one has AoE and the other does not.

well I figured out the macro for casting Rain of Fire at the warlocks feet so that helps him join in a bit. Had to put it on a separate key binding so it didn’t always just keep restarting while I hit the AE Blast for the mages. His damage is woefully low compared to the 3 mages, but his utility with soul stones in particular is really nice.

Does anyone have an App that makes using healing/mana/health stones easier on specific toons? Right now I have to completely switch over screens to do so.

Most of what I have seen is mainly folk adding icons for pots/stones next to the party frame (maybe via clickbars?). If they are not running from their healer then that party frame likely repeats to the healer's party frame (and I assume they line those up with grid2).

I think the following may be an example of a UI with some of that:

Maybe someone has a link to a guide on how to setup those icons (unfortunately I don't).

For your Warlock one mod you may want to get is SoulSort as it takes care of shard management for you. As mobs are dying I now just grab shards when I can out of habit and it auto-deletes extras if I have already reached my goal of shards to have available.

"Had to put it on a separate key binding so it didn’t always just keep restarting while I hit the AE Blast for the mages."

/stopmacro[channeling]
/cast [@player] rain of fire

should solve that problem for you.

Thanks! Will be putting that in tomorrow and keep rolling SM GY tomorrow.
