Melee boxers unite! /discuss here

Oh, I was also going to say that my "Dogs of War" thread isn't really technically a "guide" but more of notes I took while first beginning the team. I think it still provides so useful insight though on getting started and understanding some of the basics.

While currently I am leveling up 3 teams in an effort to get ready for WOTLK once my team hits 70 and begins to hit the normal mode 70 instances I'm going to be working on putting together a much better, much more organized multi melee guide. My end game plans with the team will be to be able to complete as many heroics as possible. This may be awhile though.

One other link that you may consider putting up on your list though would be
[WoW-Melee] How the hell did I miss this one? Tauren have a longer melee range.

While it's not a crucial piece of knowledge, if you are horde and want to use warriors or enhancement shammies as followers, it's worth noting that tauren make a good choice for the follower's race as tauren have along melee attack range. (see link for details)

hmm Well I will recheck the key binds for that runner problem

I guess if they keep breaking I will move the /follow focus button closer

but I added on the seconds line after attack
/follow focus

and it was not working

Each and every time your alts land a melee hit it will break follow. So if you're trying to dps on the run you have to spam the living hell out of it. I also put it on the very last line of my melee macros.

example...

Bloodthirst
#showtooltip Bloodthirst
/assist party1
/stopmacro [dead], [help], [noexists]
/cast bloodrage
/use 13
/use 14
/cast [target=party1target] Bloodthirst
/startattack
/follow party1

This way with /follow on the very end my warrior will land his/her BT and instantly be on follow again. However as soon as they land an auto attack they will be off follow again. Not a big deal if you're able to position the mob in melee range of the followers with having the mob move all around. However if you need to be moving while dpsing you'll have to spam the /follow macros as again they'll stop following as soon as they land an auto attack. I also have button "1" as basically a melee assist button that does not have any actual abilities in it...

Melee Assist
#showtooltip attack
/assist party1
/startattack
/follow party1

This way you can feel free to spam this macro to have your alts in constant follow and assisting w/o having to worry about accidentally using up any CD's you may have macro'ed to your ability or if for w/e reason you don't want to actually use a melee ability atm.


Sorry if that was a bit confusing but I'm really tired atm :)

nah its not confusing thanks for taking the time to post it up mate

i think this is really gonna be a big hassle. But again I really like the idea of mass rogues... I'll keep at it

I run a pali/shammy/druid

What I found works great with positioning is to have em on follow grab some mobs with pali and kinda park the pali for a second what this does is makes sure the other ones are in the same spot. then make the other stop follow, back up the pali into the others, then have the shammy/druid start meleeing

If yeh start attacking while there on auto follow, sometimes one will lag a lil and still be moving while the others already attacking and stopped they'll end up facing different directions and stopped at different places.
