PvE Quadboxing - Shadowpriests and Warlocks

[Oatboat]

Felguard can hold aggro a little better than VW but he still wont last long with VE healing it. If pets could tank instances there would be no place for prot Warriors/Paladins.

I was thinking , why earth elementals can then... I saw 5 shaman using 3 fire + 2 earth elemental + pop heroism doing Heroic MgT with the elemenals tanking.. I didnt saw them healing any other then themselves and they completed it succesfully. Whats the difference in armor/hp/threat with Earth elemental vs 2-3 Felguards. Also i wont be using the lock for full dps but just put dots up and then exchange between health funnel and drain life and recasting the dots while they all get hp+ mana from the shadowpriests. its not even needed to do heroics , just the regular 70 instances.

Might be doable with Soul Link... dot the mobs, then heal the pet. Rely on SP to heal party. Bosses would be tough. You have very very low DPS.

I'm running this exact combination right now. They're all level 57.

Priests are specced heavy shadow and Warlocks are specced affliction. I try to get as much synergy as possible on the shadow damage. One priest is specced for misery (+5% spell dmg), and both have shadow weaving. One warlock is also specced for Malediction (13% increased shadow damage with curse of shadows) and uses that while the other warlock uses curse of agony. The damage boost is pretty significant for all 4 characters when this stuff stacks.

Of course my main goal is PVP, but it seems to work nicely in pve as well (just questing now). With all the dots ticking my group can handle a lot. 2x vampiric embrace really helps keep the hp up. Last night I ran into qual'tharas (or whatever) in EPL at level 56 and fought of 7 level 60 mobs without a sweat. Dot em up and round robin fear bombs.

I think at 70 I will probably get a paladin or warrior to tank instances. I don't know that it's possible to do heroics with voidwalker or felguard tanks...

Oh, and at 55 the group killed a 70 shaman in season 2. And I'm still SM gear and lvl 30 greens...haha. I was proud of that

I’m 68 now with 4 locks and a holy priest.

If you want to focus on PVE, you must have a Pally tank. Voidwalkers do not make good tanks; they do not scale with gear, and get crit often.
Right now, I just manage normal 5 mans. I don’t see this setup doing heroics without a real tank. As luck would have it my irl is a prot pally. I’ll just have to rotate my toons to sit out a run for him to come in. Do yourself a favor now and just make one to roll with the group, you’ll thank me later.
