5v5 - Thoughts on Improving

[mjdoom]

I also was wondering if it might behoove us to have TD go on a more offensive role in feral to try to burst down a target. Even with BoP being involved we still can usually burst a target close to death but have trouble getting enough dps to push them over the edge sometimes before the heals can land. While Earth Shock (and of course I use Rank 1) is a nice heal disruptor it is on a longer cooldown than the minor lockout it causes and is not a reliable constant source of heal interrupts. With more dps on the focus target getting one interrupt will go a longer way to putting the other team's healers behind.

Another consideration is that we can tend to have trouble with certain classes "getting away". While BoF is a part of this I think another thing is that our warrior is *not* a mace spec stunlocking machine (OMG). Having an extra stun from the druid availabe if necessary may be a key ability to keep certain targets from getting away as easily.

While we are heavy on melee dps they still synergize together well and with heroism up our damage can still be decent even on higher AC targets. I even recall when we face the occasional double pally healing teams when it comes time for us to kill one of the paladins they generally die fairly fast while not BoPped or bubbled. If we go harder for that first kill and just use the shaman to try to shock heals as he can while trying to keep the priest from going splat that may just be the best strategy to use at this point.

One other personal note... it is sometimes really hard to be an offensive purger/interrrupter while being forced into being the main healer at the same time (because they are trying to obliterate our priest):(
