Full melee or mixed?

[Nam13]

Alright, so I'm going to have a new team with my first non-tank melee in it. It will be a full team of 5, no classes decided yet. The question I have though, what's easier for a first time melee user in multiboxing. Doing ALL dps as melee or doing a mixed team with both ranged and melee?

Also is there any melee class that is recommended to start with?

Druids and paladins are good (I. E. Forgiving) melee choices IMO as they can be tank, dps or heals. Double bonus is you can queue with them with off spec covering the three roles.

Also, I would go non-mixed as it is easier to manage and learn.

That said, I'm not the bleeding edge type so some of the folks that run raids or heroics regularly may have more information that is relevant to you.

Bah...enter button. So I went with 5 protection paladins and they do a pretty fair job. I was struggling a bit with a final boss the other day and that's when I realized I had the dungeon level set to heroic by accident.

Hmm, well I was playing with the idea of running 5 druids anyway just because it sounded fun and cool to have all the options. How are kitty druids these days? or is multiple guardians better? I saw a video of someone running 5x guardians. I was thinking about trying 1xbear 3x kitty 1xresto but not 100%

Any thoughts on this? Are 5xdruids any good these days? What about specifically kitty druids for my 3 dps?

5x druids and you can use dungeon finder ( alt spec one as tank, alt spec another as heals) , I personally prefer the 5x Huntards, but I have to manually travel to the dungeons. The 5x dps of the hunters is really hard to beat. I've heard of 5x druid cats as being pretty good too.

I know someone else around here runs kitties but I haven't done melee druids since WotLK. They were pretty neat back then but a lot has changed. :p

I've been running 5x druids (all guardian) and it's trivially easy up to and including most cata dungeons. Just hit 85 with that team so I'm not sure how MOP dungeons will be, but they're quite survivable and kill things rapidly
