I snipped this from the CA boards. It's my reply to your post there:
I had an extended talk with some <Critical Mass> folks. They do a similar thing to what we do in terms of mob kiting, however they have a slightly different philosophy. The point that you raise here sounds like their strategy.
First off, they use 3-5 warriors for kiting. Warriors spam Dem. Shout and Piercing Howl as they run around in a circle. As the kiting warriors get healed, the priests eventually become kiters as well because of heal aggro, so the warriors eventually become the buffer for the kiting priests.
In the end, what they said was as long as you have 2 MT's to swap Razorgore aggro and a plethora of healers, you're golden. Having DPS stay alive will speed up the fight. They also emphasized that stationary priests are dead priests.
Quote:C) Priests stay with warriors: the priests jog around in place with the kiting warriors and only use Renews and Shields for healing other players, since these are the two instant-cast heals all Priests have. As priests get aggro, the kiting warriors wind up picking those mobs up simply because the priest aggro trains join in with the warrior aggro trains.
