US Level 5 Testing, AMAZING POTENTIAL

After a lot of tweeking, changing, rerolling, and a lot of dieing, the absolute 2 best classes for level 5 raids is Priest Tank and hunter dps.

Level 5 Hunter:
Concussive shot, starts missing above level 50ish but not needed for raids, just woulda been a nice little bonus to save the healers mana a bit
Otherwise the best dps there is. Was the same at level 1. The cobra shot damage with Vers stacking and woodchucker can't be beaten. Plus pet damage who hit lvl 60+ mobs ALOT more frequently

Level 5 Priest:
Only viable healer, as they can spam heal almost 40 flash heals without popping a mana potion. Other classes come up short at 3-4 heals per mana pool. With heals like this going out, the raid boss will always be on the priest healers. They will need to stack a balance of Vers and Stam to take the most hits, without dieing.
Right now, the math says with lucky fishing hat, 2 agms, and furbog, 1700 hp and 50% Vers is max. 1800 with rumsy. A level 70 BC mob would still take 2-3 hits to kill you. But with healing to fill with 2 heals in 2 second, they make the absolute best heal tank.

An optimal raid will consist of all hunters as priest healers. Hunters kiting as long as possible until heals need to be done. Then the priests take the threat from there leaving hunters to all out dps boss

Based on the test last night, a group of 2 priests and 3 hunters will have the mana and damage output before healers go oom, to down a level 71 WOTLK mob with NO LFHS, AGMs, or boa rings. Furbog either, but it's very easy to obtain so might as well

Just though I'd bring this to everyone's attention incase your currently debating on what low level twink to make. 1s have some potential, but with healing possibility at 5, they have so much more.

Go to our <High Fives> if you need any more information or how to contact us to stat rolling.

Still need 1-2 more hunts.
Priest positions filled for now
 
For the true old school level 1 twinking experience, level 5 seems like the way to go.

Healer tanks were quite a nifty trick back then!

It's a shame many tricks like this have been a lost art for so long (same as backstrafing now that ambush/backstab can hit from the front).

Ty for the info!

I have a lvl 5 worgen priest with felforged gear if you need fillers :p

Add me Kick#1611

Hell yea mate. Ill add you sometime this week
 
Don't forget some of the old school Weapon Enchants (requires Melee for the most part) can reduce the Enemy's Attack Speed, slow their movement, etc. We used those tricks to kill the Fel Reaver on 10's way back when.

That's why I'm not gunna say no rogues, as icy chill might be a win condition
 
If @Sponsor gets 2x AGM on his L5 it'll be a killer in raids

Indeed. LFH and 2 agms, and furbog on his felforged, I didn't factor felforged when calculating 1.8k with rum. Probably will be close to 2k for him. Likely sponsor will be our main tank. And this is awesome cuz now one of our two priests can go on his felforged lvl 5 hunter instead of priest. Right now the comp is 2 priest 2 hunt but got an inbox for interested person so we got a 5 man now.
 
what faction im pretty interested but i wont have the gfed gear but i do have flints enchant which a ton of people dont get

We are not active anymore but feel free to roll on Stormrage and we could do something sometime
 
I accidently leveled my level 5 twink which has warforged gear at level 7 now, and can get up to 2k hp or more. I'm probably going to keep him at level 7 though, GM's wont bother to reset levels.

I leveled my 5 hunter recently too. I went 10. I did this with new patch coming up I'd like to see if stats get squished. If so, it's off too a higher level to twink at. Never had a hunter higher than 19, and that was back in BC. sorry guys, guild broke up a while ago.
 
Well they have almost same abilitys as 19s but better stats and almost equal gear but that being said if 10s get nerfed than all the other people in 10-19 bracket might get fucked over also
