[5v5] War/MMHunter/HPriest/HPally/RSham

[Joran]

Our 5v5 is a 3 healer mana-drain team, but without any sort of reliable CC it can be hard sometimes to keep our Priest up and allow him to mana burn when he has a warrior on him, especially against heavy CC teams.

Any tips on how to keep our Priest alive and/or make him an unattractive DPS target by kiting, etc.? Any other things we should be aware of, keeping in mind that we probably aren't going to change our group makeup?

Well, all I can say is it could help alot if your hunter has 3/3 Entrapment and places it well, then the priest can use it to help kite melee around it.. especially with the nerfed BoF, it should be possible to kite a warrior for quite long.

Also, like always, use LoS to your advantage :p

Well it seems like if the Priest has to kite too much, he can't mana burn and therefore we can never kill anything... I think our class composition is just gimped.

replace the Rshammy with a UA lock, the added drains will make your strategy work better: they target priest, warlock drains/fears, they target warlock, warlock still drains (lol) and ur priest can mana burn. having the added CC of fear and the new squishy target to focus will relieve some pressure on your priest, and UA will give your debuffs dispell protection

What if the HPriest went Shadow? He has enough points that he could do it now... he seems to mostly dispel and mana burn anyway, why not throw some damage in there too.

That's the setup we have run since our team hit 2100, and we do pretty well...don't give up on the class composition yet! It's a good one :) (although sometimes we replace our hunter with a feral druid)
