Glimmer of light - Hardware boxing, and it still has the power!

[Ellay]

So I've tried the following comps:
5x Druids
Prot Pal/ 4x Ele Shaman
Prot Pal/ 4x Enhancement Shaman
Prot Pal/3x Hunter/Resto Shaman
x5 Prot Paladin

Out of that group, 5x Druid and the Trinity comp are viable for now in my testing and both have their strengths and weaknesses.

Melee teams, even all tanks run into issues with there being so many more mechanics now.

I plan to make a further update once I flesh them out/test them more. The biggest problem I'm running into is trying to pick the right covenant for a mixed team as it seems very beneficial to have them all the same, but some of their abilities are terrible for multiboxing.

Yea it's annoying... I've just gone with making them all the same covenant for obvious time sink reasons... but on the abilities it's hit and miss on the various classes.

I enjoyed the verbal discussion of the comps at this point:

If I start 5boxing ShadowLands I am thinking I will start with my initial team being 5 Druids just for overall simplicity/flexibility and because they are decent Hybrids and are the only class with 4 specializations covering all 3 roles.

My 5 kids all have Night Elf Hunters for collecting pets so maybe I will mix in their hunters for a trinity comp from time to time.

Is the Guardian Druid a decent Tank for use with 3 Hunters + Resto Druid or should I prioritize leveling a different tank (and if so which one(s))? To me the Monk's Stagger mechanic seems to fit best the Druid HoTs but suspect the higher damage from Captain America style Prot Paladin may be better for clearing dungeons.

Guardian Druid is "Ok". It just works really well with the synergy.

I've had the most success so far with a Full 5 Druids because I'm able to burst down mechanics, their sustained doesn't feel great though so I'm not sure how this transitions, but I've done my first full clear Mythic using this method.

All 8 new Shadowlands dungeons have been completed on Mythic Difficulty with ilvl being much lower than the drops in the zone. Simple awesome, what a great expansion so far. So pumped. They all feel mostly doable. There is no Siege of Boralus for us this time around so far.

Awesome! As i play through the game solo.l i really miss boxing it. I might step up to hardware boxing in the near future.

Have you tried boxing torghast?

Actually yes. I've done all 4 of the current wings on layer 3 with Druids.
