Your ideal heroic 5-man class comp!

Another fun thread I thought I would start while bored at work.

What is your favorite 5 man combination of classes for running heroics? There is no correct answer as they all work, but your favorite 5. I'll go first.

Tank: Prot Paladin
Healer: Disc Priest
DPS1: Warlock spec doesn't matter
DPS2: Unholy DK
DPS3: Mage ..

So you have a paladin for your blessing of choice, disc for fort, warlock for soulstone, summons incase something happens, and candy, a mage for a table and portals after the heroic if you're doing a chain run, it cuts down on time. I like unholy DK's too, because their AoE DPS is insane in heroics, and of course the 13% magic damage to mages/lock.. so you have 3 DPS that can all AoE very well in situations and all have very hard hitting single target DPS. Prot paladin really seems like the best 5-man heroic tank, and disc priests are solid healers, if they are bored they can throw in some smites, or give PI to a caster.



Your turn!

This is hands down the baddest ass group comp for a 5man heroic...

Pally Tank
Blood DK
Fury Warrior
Enhance Shaman
Tree

2 weeks back we cleared heroic UK in 11 minutes flat. That's about as fast as you can do that instance.

Our Pally tank is a beast, and was just pulling everything in sight.

^^ Very nice cleave setup.

The setup I mentioned earlier cleared heroics super fast too, probably about on par with that... maybe a little more, a super geared mage/destro combo just destroys single targets, and all 3 together AoEing is just scary.

Four blood DK's.
1 healer

No tanks.

^^^^ This

Also Xan, if the paladin is spec'd into HotC, then everyone is getting 3% (iirc) increased critical strike chance against his targets.

Another ideal comp

Bear tank
Retadin
Blood DK
Fury warrior
Resto shammy

This reminds me when LK was in testing phase and people were running Ramps and BF with all DK. Back then blood aura would stack. You get 5 blood DKs and go to town.

Personally, I don't run heroics all that much. If we talk fastest clear then class doesn't matter, get any 5 in BiS and you're good to go. (I think my personal record on Loken with no bloodlust is 35 seconds. Our gear was far from BiS too)

But if we talk people who don't outgear given instance I'd take an aoe tank, healer with hots, two hybrid dps' (tank, heal) and one pure dps capable of cc, probably a mage.

Yea, atm you cant go wrong with a cleave melee group in Heroics. The damage output is just nutz. Just hafta have a good paladin druid or frost dk tank (i say this cause they have the best aoe aggro setup).
A good caster group would be-
Tank- Paladin
Dps- Arc Mage
Dps- Dest Lock
Dps- Ele sham
Healer- Priest/druid

Ive ran this comp with my guild before and breezed through any heroic in 20m or less.

Ran with this pug setup a few weeks ago and lol'd all the way thru the instance. The healer was bored and dps'd. I was running the ret pally

protect pally tank
ret pally
ret pally
dk blood
resto shammy

With pally buffs all around and dk looking after himself we just didnt slow down.

Resto Shammy -Me
Bear Tank - Their health pool is so high the "oh shit" doesn't seem to be a factor
Ret Pally
Blood/UnHoly DK - Either way
Lock - I love their utility and kick-ass dps

My favorite was this morning (before work) in H DTK (h daily) I was on my prot warrior (4900 GS for those who care 42k hp 26.8k armor 55% avoidance+18% block) and the shaman healer says at the end, "I should have went dps for this because I didn't even have to heal you. (We even did the Kind Dred achieve).

Actually, i was gonna say that. Our guild tree mentioned several all druid runs she's made. Sounds op.

But 5 pally's would work quite well too.

I wonder if someone has tried an all druid raid? No other class gives you four distinct options like that. Tank, melee dps, ranged, and heals.

I'm levelling a druid once my daughter gets hers transfered (mark that on my to do list).
