2x druid team - need help

[gromdred]

Hello All,
My hunter/s priest team is going great, but I have questions on team 2. 2x druid team, and I can't keep either of them alive for 5 seconds. They are at level 22. They are identical twins for now, with the intent of dropping one at level 60 or 70 and letting my pally take over the boosting. But for now, I just want to learn the class. I have macros set up for cat form, need to work on bear form I guess, but I'm looking for any hints, advice, or macro's (rotations) that might be of help. Should I run one as a tank and one as dps? Or Tank and Heals? Or Dps and Heals? And if a healer, then I have absolutely no clue where to start

Thanks in advance

The easiest method will be dual Boomkins. They'll both be able to heal (outside of Boomkin form, and have an Innervate each for greatly reduced downtime).

If you want to go Feral (which is very fun too), I'd spec both for Cat DPS, especially while leveling. For tougher things, one can go Bear even if they're both spec'd for Cat DPS. At the moment, most of the damage comes from Bleeds. Ensure Mangle (once you have it) remains up always. After that, give them a click castsequence with a priority on keeping Rake/Rip (the non-finishing move) and Rake/Rip (the finishing move) up, in that priority.

For instances, you might dual spec them. Give one of them a second Feral spec, specifically taking the bear tanking talents. And give the other a Resto heal spec. With both the tank and healer, random dungeons should be rather fast.

For straight leveling, two cats should be able to handle same level questing with ease. You'll want to ensure Click To Move (Mouse Options) is enabled on both toons. You can turn this on via a macro (/console AutoInteract 1) and disable it via macro too (/console AutoInteract 0). Also have a keybind for Interact With Target... probably one bind for both toons (when you want them to each melee) and a second bind for only the Bear if you go with Bear/Resto specs down the road to open instances.

For the leveling aspect of the game, two x Cat Druids should do any level appropriate quest with the exception of some of the group quests. 1x Feral should be able to do all quests, so two DPS is even better. Collections are still a pain, but with only two toons it won't be as painful as five; Classic Warcraft and Outland have +experience modifiers, so you can basically skip all collections if you want. For Northrend, I'd do most of them, as they open additional quests.



Bears pretty much go: Mangle & Maul, for single targets. And chain spam Swipe for multiples. You can pull with Feral Charge (switch to bear gets you enough rage to open with it) or Feral Faerie Fire. If you have extra rage, you can throw Lacerates in.



In Cataclysm, Mangle DPS (Cat) is increasing significantly. If you ignore the proper rotation, you're much less penalized then you are today... so the a) Mangle, b) Rake/Rip (non-finishing), c) Savage Roar, d) Rake/Rip (finishing) rotation should work. Just throw enough combo point generating moves between finishing moves.

I leveled 2 boomkin druids,

whenever i found i was dyeing too easy, i switched macroes so they rotated entangling roots

so
num key 1 =
a wrath
b roots


num key 2 =
b wrath
a roots

just so it krpt them away form me, found leveling pretty wasy till i started picking up extra mbs while fighting then i had to run and heal excesively

Both ran as DPS, i leveled via quests and dungeoned whenever i got got a group
