I was wondering the same thing and didn't see anything definitive but then again I suspect with a buzz-saw of 3+ Arms Warriors things will be generally dead before DR would matter much anyway.Quote:

That's the part that is apparently hard to communicate. Mage-heavy teams really blow things up good in the early stages, but they flatten out in later instances.

Mana-dependent classes (in classic) have a relatively hard limit on how much DPS they can maintain regardless of gear or how survivable they are in any particular event. The only question is how long it will take you to hit the OOM wall. Non-mana classes do not have that limitation. (Obvious caveat: non-mana classes still have a mana limit, it's just the healer(s) mana pool.)Quote:

Hunters are somewhere in the middle depending on the patch/expansion as they both scale with gear well and have both physical and non-physical damage components that they can apply through a reflect/absorb buff. Great example is (I think) Theka the Martyr in ZF.
As Dirty Harry said, a man's got to know his limitations.
Problem is, 4x warrior sham are dead in pvp. Mages are not. Once you get rooted in world pvp, it's nasty. I mean really nasty. 2 mages can solo your entire team roughly.
That is why some folk are doing 3Warriors+2Paladins as between Blessing of Freedom, cleanses, & Free Action that team is harder to root. That being said, even with Blessing of Freedom generally Warrior based groups don't play as well in large scale WPVP but can be effective in smaller to mid scale.Quote:

On Discord someone named 'swydi' posted a LBRS trash run with 4 Warriors and 1 Shaman:

True although to be fair this thread was about End Game Dungeon PvE. Although there can be a lot of PVP on the way to those dungeon instance portalsQuote:

I updated the initial post in this thread with this first and ONLY video example so far.
Please lets get some more videos posted so folk can see this play-style in action more...
Any reason why he didnt cast a single chain heal?Quote:
