Anyone tried 5x resto shamans?

[cepheus]

I have been honor capped for some time now, and have started picking resto gear. sitting on 4-5 pieces (+ my full elemental gear) atm and still have enough honor to buy a bit more.

I was thinking to try resto some time just for the fun of indestructable shamans :P

Anyone have any idea if this actually can work in some BG's and/or in arenas other than just annoy the hell out of your opponents? (that beeing my goal, but actually having a winchance would be good too)

I stood outside balinda chainhealing myself for about 3 minutes. While doing this i was healing everyone around me and when they got the idea i had about 15 people standing on top of me killing the million allies that kept spawning at SH. It was very amusing... Although that said, i think i'd slit my throat if i played 5 resto shaman ;D

I tried Triple Resto in 3v3 using DPS gear, it works but.. was not my style.

Is your burst as resto high enough to take down, lets say, two healers?

I was not really aiming for this as something permanent, just to try out some different fun to annoy allys in either a 5v5 arena or in BG's

I'm a BG-addict and find pvp much too fun, so I just need something to spend all my honor on :P So now I have started collecting resto gear and soon done with that. Wont be long before I collect enhancement gear, but I hightly doubt I will ever use that :P

I too am curious, what spec did you try and what kind of tactics did you attempt etc.

It wasn't for that long of a duration. I went 20/0/41, and I had quite a bit of an issue trying to drop players with double healers. On some it wasn't too bad but others forget about it. My survivability was better, but I would end up going through half my mana pool before I could attempt to be offensive, just not enjoyable and leaves very little room to put the other team on defensive.

In 2v2 I've done Resto-Shaman and Resto-Druid and we hit 1650 the second week in s4 with quite sub-par gear.
Upside: Usually you eventuall win and you can beat almost every comp out there
Downside: Games are often over 20 - 30 minutes, and if you lose; well it REALLY sucks.


This was just in 2's I'm not sure how 5's would work, I'd imagine mana burn would be your bane.

The aim was to make the game last as long as possible till the other team got pissed off and quit? :P

Well with mana-tide, the ability to restealth and drink, good cc chains with very short cd's, innervate and the general toughness of Druid and Shaman healers in a 2v2 setting both being healing spec'd the idea was to run them oom then execute a slow but precise killing sequence.....and it usually worked. Funny how double dps could take us if we messed up once or twice because of incredible burst, but healer/dps teams NEVER had a chance.
