as soon as we fill out our gear with a couple of pieces, my friend and i will be seriously dedicating ourselves to 2 manning the most difficult instances/raids that we can.

he is a druid and i (of course) am a paladin.

weve decided that i will be doing much of the healing, but with the problem of adds and such i will probably be forced to off tank quite a bit.

what im looking for is a few talent build ideas from all yall knowledgeable folks here at wowhead.

like i said, mostly heals, but im sure ill need some decent tanking talents. i have a couple ideas, but im not sure where to draw the line down healing and prot to pick up some of those needed ret talents.

your input is appreciated.

thanks.

Hmm, he needs to heal, but could definitely use the dps; either that, or an infinite mana pool and patience, cuz every pull's taking an hour.

*cough* Shockadin *cough* What? Who said that? <.<

*whispers* You could hit a 31/0/40 spec with 5/5 Fanaticism for 6? minimum crit chance with judgements, MUCH needed CC, Divine Purpose (if the instance calls for it), and, of course, instant-cast heals in Flash of Light and Holy Shock in case you DO Offtank. (But, gluck finding tank gear that can support that kind of mana consumption -_- ).

Those Ret Aura talents should ONLY be put in if you're going to use -- guess what? -- your Ret Aura. Are you?

2-manning is like making an Arena team: You spec for each other, your enemies, and then yourself. Min/maxing is a great way to get your partner killed: "Look, 15,000 crit! What, you're dead? Oh ---" and such and so forth. Goombastomp is right: By not going full Holy, you might not be the best healer -- but you'll be *alive*.

You're not min/maxing the dps charts or whatever it is people care about, you're maxing out your instancing ability.

P.S. Or you could spec to Bacon and ret the rest . . . depends on the difficulty of the instance, kinda... I'm just brainstorming here....

thanks yall

alright, my response

we gave a lot of thought to him healing, however we eventually decided that when i am healing i am still in plate armor, where as he would be, during the adds of phase 2 of that boss, in leather. the pally's single target healing ability is the biggest factor of who we figured for heals. at 70 we ran him healing and me tanking, but with the new buffs to all tanking classes allowing everyone to now basically aoe tank, we figured a rage bar is superior to my mana (yeah yeah, the new BoSanc, i know)

its all really survivability that we are looking at. i think that the pally, with their judgements and hands and blessings and whatnot is better to have in a control standpoint.

idk. again thanks for the input, were gunna try some of it out and rework some more with the outcome.
