Caster "Group of Death" - Page 3

Usually the warlocks in my guild are always the ones topping damagemeters, even tho we have very good geared firemages and shadowpriests. So my "caster-group of death" would be:

Shadowpriest: Shadoweaving, Misery and regen (their also very good dps on their own)
Resto Shaman: 1% hit from Racial, and 100+ Spell Damage, ManaTide totem, and dont forget HEROISM
Warlock: Heavy Affliction with 3/3 Malediction for the best CoS.
Warlock: Heavy Affliction
Warlock: Heavy Affliction

imo, easily the best caster-dps group. feel free to flame or suggest improvements :P

Not my forte, but something I have tried to impress on our Rogue CL who thinks that our Enhanc Shaman would do better in his (mutilate spec) group instead of a combat rogues is:

Just because they are your top dps doesn't mean they will get the max benefit.

If your Mages are going to get more out of the groupwide buffs, then its better for them than another class who wont get as much; dps aside.

Try including some other classes, for start. My understanding was between dark pact and life tap affliction warlocks don't have huge mana issues. If you have fire mages, they need a shadow priest for anything long. Ice mages get the most benefit from the shaman if they are willing to time heroism with the water elemental, and they also get more from wrath of air due to the water elemental "double-dipping". Furthermore, affliction benefits less from heroism due to heavy use of dots which are instant cast and don't gain any benefit.

Shadowpriest
Elemental Shaman (3% hit and 3% crit > mana tide, when you have a shadow priest)
Fire Mage/Destruction Lock - classes that benefit from everything spriest + elem shm can give.
Fire Mage/Destruction Lock
Fire Mage/Destruction Lock

Much better.

Yeah, sticking affliction warlocks in a shadow priest group is pointless - they can sustain themselves without any problem. Fire mages/destruction warlocks are the ones that need the sweet, sweet shadow priest love.
