Guide: Trinity Comp (Tank/3x BM Hunter/Healer

[nodoze]

It's still really early, to tell but I would say all are viable options.

My goal is to level every tank/healer and then test them out for us. For myself Prot Paladin / Resto Shaman is my style and they are staying similar to what they are.
If you get a Resto druid working though (this is technically the strongest healer for our layout due to being able to heal while moving), your options for Tank really open up to your liking, which I would then pick something like a DK or Brewmaster. DK for that self carry potential and Brew because you literally spend 0 focus on it for being almost 100% optimized from their easy rotation.

That sounds consistent with what I was thinking after listening to the early rankings of both Tanks and Healers... I really look forward to hearing your thoughts from a multiboxer perspective after you try various.

In Vanilla i wasn't really boxing (just running 2 clients with no tools) but from BC->WoTLK I had every class capped and tried multiple different 5box and 10box teams and really liked Paladin Tank+4 Shaman though I also liked to solo with my Hunter from time to time.

Historically for non boxing mains in Raids I like to main Healer and sometimes tank so I tended to like Paladin mains (Paladin be non-boxing raid Healer and dual specs to tank in my 5box or 10box team). Being able to do multiple roles from a main that includes both Healing and at least off tanking also helped me gravitate to Druids in addition to Paladins. With the above in mind I generally prefer to main Hybrid classes and gravitate towards the ones that can do Tank, Healer, & DPS roles...

The above being said, seeing in the ranking videos that Paladin Healers now need to run in melee range attacking to be optimal I am thinking that doesn't fit my playstyle even when just playing 1 client and certainly not when multi-boxing... I was initially glad to hear that Paladin tanks were early ranked fairly high but then was a little discouraged to hear they are relatively kinda the "Glass Cannon" of tanks which also concerns from a mult-boxing perspective so I am thinking of not maining a Paladin if I go ShadowLands... When boxing I prefer my tank to be able to face tank as much as possible and be more on the survivable side than high DPS side.

After watching both ranking videos (and multiple others spotlighting various classes) I was thinking of maining a Druid healer for progression raiding (and 5box healing when not raiding) and maybe DeathKnight (Blood) would maybe be the best choice for me for a dedicated 5box tank without any other input (I do really like Shaman Chain Heals but was thinking Druid mobility and hots and AoE may be best for me plus druid opens up 4 roles for a main even if it doesn't perform great in all 4 roles). I agree that BrewMaster also sounded like a good option but I just can't yet conceptualize Monk Tanks as I stopped playing full time after WoTLK & a little Cata. I resubbed at least briefly for most of the expansions to try them but pretty much skipped monks and pandas in general... I never really mained a DeathKnight for tanking but did do all 3 DK specs back in the day and mainly played them for PVP (4DK+Paladin) until that got nerfed... I did like DemonHunters and a DH tank sounded good if running 3 ranged magic DPS but I really like the idea of the 3 BM hunters for me...

Anyways those were my initial thoughts. I really liked your video and thanks to you am thinking of doing 3BM Hunters+Tank+Healer for ShadowLands since I have my account subscriptions active for Classic Warcraft already...

For reference, in case it helps others, the videos I watched are (I don't know if these are the best):

Early ranking of 6 Tanks for ShadowLands
Early ranking of 6 Healers for ShadowLands
Discussion between 2 raiders choosing a ShadowLands class to main

Otherwise I also watched yumytv's more in depth review of each healer and some other random videos but those 3 were the main ones that stick out in my head as the most helpful...

Thanks again and please report back your thoughts on combos after doing some testing.
