ok as some of you may know i keep switching and changing my mind alot about my teams............

i have decided to leave the death knights for another life and swap them out for my incompleted rets which i got to 50 and decided i cba to get them to 80 and made dks instead, well thats a slap in the face. what goes around comes around :mad:

as much as i have enjoyed playing with the dk's they are difficult to tune up with the runes firing off randomly at different times and when some fail everyone is out of sync. it hasnt meant i couldnt do anything it just messes up the dps, i got lots of tools and i enjoy ghouls jumping on the ally's and gnawing them but they wont ever compare dps with my other teams and for that reason im switching, im mostly pve so dps is more important.

i wont be using the shaman as i have been using them too long and i need something fresh, so going to setup the rets and get them to 80 before cata.

aoe, i will be picking your brains soon for imput and tips :D

i am also considering swaping out my druid tank and shaman healer forsomething else? any ideas?

currently going to use druid tank, 3 rets, 1 resto shaman.

i have these tanks available dk tank, pally tank, druid tank, warrior tank., getting bit bored with the druid. what you think will work better? (trying to consider buffs, prot pala? but already got 3 rets...., dk might be a pain to handle threat?, harder to tank with?, warrior slacks ae as i have used him alot more than druid bah..

thinking out loud,

got also healers available:

druid, priest, shaman, holy pala

holy pala bit pants for mboxing pve healing id imagine in respects of 5 man melee surivial configuration?

comments welcome

I heard holy paladins will be god :-)

I personally won`t start boxing in cata. The dungeons seem way to hard and I rather start learning with a single char and learn the bosses. Eventually we will find ways to do it :-)

well i would imagine they would become more strategic, just look at the icc5 man dungeons, not exactly tank and spank anymore.

im sure things will be ok, i remember when i did the icc5 mans, thought they were far too difficult, look at us now. flooring them, and some teams are 5 man icc10 boss's

sure we work it all out as a community :)

but yeah side tracked!!

any suggestions or ideas? dont want to waste time and energy into a weak pve team because of thinking oh that might seem cool. its far from cool when pve, got to get your stuff right first time.

Ok group decided after last night long hard thinking and advisory from others.

Decided to go for this melee buff setup

Druid Tank
Paladin Ret DPS (offspec holy? for hard heals
Shaman Enh DPS (offspec resto? for group healing
Unholy /Frost DPS
Priest Healer normal group healing

This will be giving me lots of group buffs but also making it overly more complicated due to 1 of each class. Shouldn’t be much of a big deal as I have managed 3.

Party Buffs for Melee Setup, prob missing a few but these are the obvious ones, I should buff very nicely.

Shaman

Windfury Totem/Strength of Earth
Heroism / Bloodlust

Death Knight
Improved Icy Talons
Horn of Winter
15% spell one I cant remember the name

Paladin
Blessing of Kings /Wisdom
Replenishment

Druid
Leader of the Pack
Mark of the Wild

Priest
Fortitude/ Divine Spirit
this should work ok

Blessing of Wisdom is nomore today/tomorrow. It`s all in might now.

I do like the setup. I was thinking of those in my 10box team untill I decided to singleplay cata at first.

well im not sure if this group is going to work anymore since the new patch changes, buffs mechanics no longer allow to stack.

cant get motw and bok on together, one overrides the other.

this is a kick in the teabag
