What 5 man comps will you level first in Shadowlands?

Thanks. Your replies and research are helping me nail down my picks. I think I'm going 5 druids as my main team. They just seem solid, I enjoyed them in BfA, and they seem to be the way to go still.

As for my alt team, I'm going a main tank + 4 shaman. What's a recommendation for alliance race for the shaman? And Pally tank vs DH tank for that team?

I would go with Dwarves, probably the new Wildhammer customization, it looks amazing, but so do Dark Iron dwarves. Dwarves have a very slight dps advanage. I dont think alliance shaman races have any decent utility like a lot of the horde races.

Pally tank is just leagues above DH for boxing. If you dont care about all of the utility and ease of use a pally brings, then DH has better mitigation and chaos brands 5% magic debuff is great, but they require much more focus in SL's than a pally to be efficient and have trouble with aggro on packs that exceed the aoe caps, while pally has the best aoe snap aggro of all tanks.

Sorry for a little Necro action here...

Pally + 4 Shaman is a good combo for Shadowlands? That's amazing, that was my favorite team way back when!

But if I read all these comments correctly, 5 Pally's is a stronger group?

not necessarily.

The only advantage 5 Pally's have is that you can spec 5 tanks and gain supreme survivability at the cost of massive DPS loss. A lot of boxers enjoy brute forcing mechanics with 5 tanks, but when you reach a DPS requirement they get roadblocked. Pally + 4 Shaman gives you the choice of melee or ranged DPS. Pally + 4 Shaman gives you the utility of 2 classes. Shaman dps specs heal much better than Ret.

Neither outpaces the other when it comes to potential due to having a decent trinity setup available, and both are top tier class comps.

Anything could change due to Blizzard fumbling balance changes. We could end up with Enhance/Ele being way overtuned or a potato spec.

So i will probably start with a trusted trinity comp (ProtPally/ 3 BM Hunters / Restoshaman) and then either add 5 Druids or 1 ProtPally and 4 Shamans.

I will try a lot of combos, but my first will be DH, 3xBM, 1 RD. Followed by my 5 druids. Then probably a shaman team.

I thought about leveling one char first before leveling the boxes, as i would have daily quest access then with the teams. Not sure yet if i really will.

hybrid x4 + tank

this is a always a safe choice for both settings
