    Has anyone tried using 5x DH tanks? I am curious how they stack up against DK and Paladins.

    I don't think it would work. You need some type of a heal on the toon that is tanking or spikes low. So you would have to run with some type of a healer. DKs and DHs are very spikey.

    I did think about going 1x Monk/Druid and 4x Demonhunter but decided against it due to lacking multiple battle rez, death grip and not being all plate for loot trading (they also have a much smaller radius AoE grip). Death Grip really is one of the best abilities for boxers to have as it is the best gap closer for us. DKs are also slightly more self sufficient than DHs and have the ability to cheese many mechanics. DHs do have cool downs that actually reduce the amount of damage taken which is nice. DKs just take nearly full damage but at least have a crap ton of self heals and % hp increases. Still DHs are probably 60-75% as much self healing as DKs. I'll admit I found myself wishing I had the mobility of a DH at times.

    Some bosses I can get by without the paladin or if the paladin dies but it requires almost perfect taunt swapping to not get whittled down to 0. You also do not have a dispel if you run 5x DH. Not having a magic dispel makes fights like Mythic Shivermaw almost impossible. I find the paladins disease and poison dispel quite helpful. Luckily in this expansion no boss has actually required me to dispel other than maybe Mythic Shivermaws breath.

    If I do make another team It would be a Druid or Mistweaver + DH team. (Probably druid for brez). I'll only make it if I get bored which probably wont happen for quite some time.

    --I had technical difficulties with the laser for a few attempts so I had to solo a good bit of the Dread Lord with one DK. I really need to figure it out. I don't think I've ever not wiped to it at least one on Mythic Difficulty.

    I tried to save my CDs on this boss and pull a lot of trash after which I learned was a bad idea as it made the boss slower and more annoying

    --Truthguard lets you cheese clue a bit by identifying the group with the demon in it but I messed up the sleeves or no sleeves part but luckily I have 5 toons to guess correctly. This boss I feel like I'm on the verge of wiping within a few seconds. I saved my CDs till about the middle and hoped I could survive.

    The Arcway+2
    (Trash the dungeon) - Timer was 45 Minutes. I got 2 chests out of it. Somehow I didn't wipe to any bosses. Hopefully by now I'll be a bit better on these bosses. It takes 3-4 runs for me to get comfortable with a dungeon. I've only run Arcway one or two times before this. This place would be much more difficult with Sanguine due to all of the trash. I guess I was lucky I got it on +2.

    -Not the exact start of the boss but I did some very risky pulls by pulling that entire room of exploding spiders and stunning spiders. Was fun!

    Vault of the Wardens+4 (Sanguine) - This my was my first +4 dungeon. It honestly was not that bad. I barely felt that it was that much more difficult than regular Mythic despite being +36% more hp and damage. I even made it to Cordana before the timer expired with 2 minutes left. I had a reset on Ash'Golm and could have been more aggressive on my trash pulling and it may of been possible but I wiped on Cordana a few times. All of the other bosses were 1 shots.

    Cordana Kill:https://youtu.be/0wAex-CR1ng?t=13658

    -I Had almost 2 minutes left on the timer when I reached Cordana. Need to clean up a few things and it is possible to multibox this one within a timer. Cordana can always be tricky. That Glaive does a stupid amount of damage when I run to kill the Avatar of Vengeance while grouped up.

    I think I'm going to run Halls of Valor Mythic to get my +1 Keystone (I have a quest for that dungeon) and see where they take me instead of getting my +2 or +3 from my chest. I'm trying to avoid halls of valor on Mythic+ as it was pretty rough and long when I did it on +2. My gear has gotten better and I've gotten 2 legendary since then so maybe I'll give it another shot.

    I opened my weekly mythic+ chests last week after doing Mythic+4 and they were mythic 5(+4) 865 loot which are equivalent to the base ilevel of heroic raids. A few toons got some sockets and extra stats. My toons are now around 854-857 ilevel. Regular Mythics are starting to feel more like heroics after doing a several Mythic+3 and 4's. As I get more legendary and more titanforged/warforged pieces I expect eventually Mythic+4 will feel like regular mythics.

    I ran mythic Halls of Valor this week and it gave me mythic+4 keystones. I guess misunderstood how it works. It apparently gives you the same keystone of the highest difficulty that you were able to clear. I was hoping to start at +1 and secure 1-2 extra chests by plowing through+1 and for the extra loot and legendary chances.

    I got some pretty good Mythic+4s this week:

    Eye of Azhara (Serpentrix will be rough but doable)

    Vault of the Wardens

    The Arcway

    Darkheart Thicket

    Maw of Souls

    The affix this week is Teeaming which just increases the amount of trash you have to do and increases the trash mobs in a pack by one or two. This is a very good affix for tank multiboxers because trash is typically not a problem for our team and not having to move after every mob we kill (sanguine) will make clearing trash much easier than last week.

    Still, it would suck to have to deal with extra trash on that Stormdragon pack in halls of valor, before Hymdall. Hopefully blizzard shows mercy.

    Serpentrix with 36% more health and damage is going to suck but it should be doable with good RNG on where it emerges from after submerging.

    My plan this week is to clear all the regular Mythics for any extra loot chances and then to work on Mythic+ dungeons. I may be able to get a few within the timer.

    I'll be streaming the regular and mythic+ most nights 7-11ish (Eastern Standard Time) and if anyone wants to watch. I'll probably wait until the weekend to start the Mythic+ dungeons and will be streaming until I fall asleep those nights. There will probably be lots of frustration with some of the more difficult dungeons. http://twitch.tv/xeneres00
