Kara group-arrangingFollow

Hey all,
I've yet to be part of a ten-man, neither have majority of the team that our guild is taking into Kara next week.

I'm unsure on how to arrange the groups in order to get the best bang for our buck, buff-wise.

Say for example we're taking:
2 prot warriors
2 holy priests
1 holy palli
1 Ice Mage
2 hunters (no idea on spec)
2 random dps (pug'ing them)

Is there a standard rule for how to arrange your 2 groups? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks !

without you being more specific about your pugged members I would say

Group 1
prot 1
prot 2
holy pally
Hunter 1
Hunter 2

Group 2
Holy Priest 1
Holy Priest 2
Ice Mage
Random 1
Random 2

You see the issue is that the classes there provide little to no group buffing utility. The pally goes witht the tanks for the devotion aura buff, but thats about it.

The way you go about organising it is to look at the overall group and see who can buff who. For example, if you had a rogue, it would go with the tanks for battle shout. If you had a shadow priest, you'd put it with the healers and spell casters. If you had a warlock it might go with the tanks for blood pact, or if it was a demonic sacrifice spec you might deprioritise that. If you had a feral druid it would go with the melee, as would an enhancement shaman or ret paladin. Resto shaman and elemental shaman buff spellcasters more so those would be a priority.

To be honest this list could go on FOREVER. Instead try to buff key characters like tanks and healers if they are lacking in some way. At the end of the day you basically have to learn about other classes and their builds so that you can decide for yourself how to distribute them properly in your groups.

Thanks, that was exactly the kind of advice that I was looking for.
I was actually unsure whether to group the two prot war's together or put them in different groups so that all 10 ppl could get the benefit of commanding shout.

Thanks again.

you can take two warriors to tank, but don't have both spec prot. have the other do an OT spec like 31/5/20 or 8/41/12 depending on how good his tanking and dps gear sets are. make sure the OT specs 5/5 commanding presence and put him in a melee-heavy group.
