Hello people of XPOFF.

For a multiboxing leveling project I'm spamming LFG Dungeons with my toons. In my experience guardian druid beats others for tanking, but I still want to hear out your opinions as well.

So let's see, things I'm wondering are:

Best Single target DPS?
Best AoE DPS?
Best Healer?
Best Healer DPS wise?
Best tank?

etc etc. I tried prot paladin what wasn't satisfied after my guardian.
 
Tank: Guardian.
AoE: Arcane Mage (bring mana pots).
Healer: They all pretty good.
Healer DPS: Resto Shaman.
Single Target: Arcane Mage, MM hunter or Balance Druid, don't rly know.
 
Wow thank you very much good sir. Now I know what my options are. By the way some people were praising Disc Priest for it's DPS and Healing, can it best Resto Shaman in those areas?
 
paladin is the best tank at 20-29, especialy if you want to pare him with good aoe dps which is arcane mage and demolock
whats the criteria for best healer? they are all good(except paladin)
shaman does good dmg in heal spec, but dcpriest can heal through atonement by dealing alot of dmg
geared arcane mage does way more dmg than hunter but goes oom fast, easy to multibox since there is no real rotation to maintain dps - just spam 1 button
 
Hey, I meant the best HPS capability by best healer.

About the paladin, I assumed it would turn out great but my experience was lackluster. It dealed less damage ,took more damage and pulling was a nightmare without Arcane Beam. Also that guardian talent "brambles" is pretty OP in dungeons, since I'm only spamming Deadmines and Ragefire Chasm. Mind that these are all F2P toons, lacking enchants and other stuff.

I've been playing multiple tanks in M+ over the years but I still think there is a lot of room for me to improve my gameplay with twink tanks, especially with my paladin.

You dont need a macro to weapon swap. Just make different sets through the equipment manager, drag the sets to your actionbar, and click the sets to change weapons
 
I never thought Resto Druid would be the best one since it's a HoT healer, but after your advice I'll give it a shot. What makes it beat the others?

You have swiftmend which is basically a lay on hands at level 20.

With the right talents you can have 2 charges of switmend too which is broken af.

They also have Moonfire, Sunfire and Wrath which deal good damage.

I... completely forgot about the Swiftmend. You are right, it's pretty good.

What if we compare Resto Druid to Disc Priest? Can Disc beat it's damage?

I wouldn't know which is better but I'd imagine resto druid would pull ahead with their two dots and a quick cast that deals 150+ damage...

What's the goal of this character you want to make?

My twink tank is chain pulling huge packs for the sake of speed leveling multiple toons and I'm looking for a setup to improve my clear time.

If you group manually with xp off (invite someone to your party or vice versa) you will give a debuff to the whole party that prevents them from gaining full xp.

I believe they only get 5% of the xp they normally would (95% reduction).

Blizzard did this to stop those boosting people from 110 - 120.

You can still queue into group finders solo* and the debuff won't be in effect.

*Edit - solo/without any party

I know. That's why I play on multiple F2P characters because they can't advance further than level 20.
