Paralysis by analysis (TBC decisions)

[Torgo]

I do not think any other group comp beats Paladin + 4 Shamans or 5x Shamans when it comes to normal and heroic dungeon runs.

Pally + 4 Shamans is less DPS (the DPS difference between 4 Shamans and 1 is quite noticeable) but it's a lot more forgivable earlier on, once 5x Shamans get decent gear then it just doesn't matter due to everything getting killed way too fast, even in heroics. And this is all without taking into consideration min-maxing pre-raid BiS, consumables, using Drums, etc. Once you add that to either group then it's hands down better to run either, compared to other comps.

Do you have an example of a Shaman talent build? I was reading through the old TBC forums and didn't really see a guide on how to play 5 shamans. Any tips or a guide?

If I go the easy route and boost Horde it looks like probably Orc would be the best choice for blood frenzy, right? I would much rather go Space Goat but don't know if I want to take the time to level them.

If you're going Horde then i'd suggest either Troll or Orc, depending on what content you were focusing on doing. Personally i'll be doing a healthy mix of Wpvp, 5s arenas and a lot of dungeon grinding with heroics included so my Shamans will be Orc. In terms of talents i'll be doing a standard 41/0/20 build at 70, but 60-70 i'll probably do something like https://legacy-wow.com/tbc-talents/s...00000000000000 - I haven't fully decided though.

If i was going to be doing just PvE then i'd maybe consider Troll for Berserking just to have that extra haste when burning down bosses, but it's not really necessary, plus i much prefer the Orc Shaman look over Troll.

5 Shamans play pretty easy considering it's basically just drop totems and your basic rotation is Lightning Bolt x3 -> Chain Lightning, rinse repeat. By the time you're in the 800 - 1000 SP range you should have 0 problems with anything heroic related, everything dies really fast by that point.

If you're looking for how 5 Shamans play at 70 then there's a thread in the TBC section with a bunch of video links that still work from old posts in the Movies section.
