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.

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 portals

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.

Yea and when BG's roll around those geared Warriors in organized Battleground groups will really shine but will have to play solo. Otherwise it's definitely an uphill battle in open world, or without proper support

THANKS !

Thanks for those reminding us to keep this thread on topic which is PVE dungeon clearing by boxed melee-cleave teams...

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?

I assumed because of Mana efficiency but not really sure.

depends how many mobs focus one warrior, chainheal cant keep up with lhw in bursthealing so you actually would just chainheal when you can be sure one warrior is not getting overnuked..he might be scared that one warrior dies within 2,5 sec at those mobs which is reasonable...the casters can put out decent dmg

download obs again today so if i feel ready you get more stuff by tomorrow. I try to change my playstyle atm not using mouseover macros for healing so i can show from warrior pov, should be a little more interesting.

Also to correct my earlier post, go for some slower weapon as you can see in his video ... i swaped my first destiny to emporor axe and he does significantley more dps. Even slow maces should outperform fast sword/axe spec for warriors in pve.

Not sure how endgame DM:E is but I recorded a jump run, I tried to it as fast as possible so I only killed bosses and minimal trash.
I was doing full DM:E runs before Bzyta told me about jump runs, for some reason I thought it was one of the other DM's.


Has anyone killed last boss without the 3 trash packs? I'm too chickenshit to try it.

Very nice! A little jealous of WindFury but even more of Chain Heal.

What spec are you running on your Shaman and what spec(s) on your Warriors?

Edit: I updated the initial post in this thread with this 2nd video example.

Please keep this thread focused on PVE dungeon clearing by boxed melee-cleave teams...

Please lets get some additional boxed melee-cleave videos posted...

Shaman link
The warriors are a bit mixed, 3 are arms 1 with imp demo, 1 with battle shout and 1 with piercing howl.
Currently testing fury on the 4 warrior, dmg doesn't seem to be much difference in total, for packs arms wins
Overall for some time:

QuidingBE being the fury, but I think the more damage on him can be explained by not having to wait for rage for sweeping strikes and using whirlwind before others meaning he get hit first, equals more rage.

I kill the end boss without clearing pack's. Jump down from the top and make sure you fight him behind the pillar where the imps come out of the cave,
make sure your minions are right in front of the cave to stop the imps from running out ( this is what agro's the packs of flowers)
easy as

Will try this! thanks

It has been my theory for some time that initiating with a single Fury Warrior (with the rest of the Warriors Arms) should result in overall better damage for the group as the Fury Warrior should use incoming damage better. The others will still get good damage due to Sweeping Strikes so the team should do more damage overall. Does that seem to fit your experience?

I updated the initial post with the Shaman build. If you can please put 1 of your Arms Warrior specs and I will just denote the changes for the others (move battle shout->Demo Shout, pierciing howl, etc) and I will put those in the initial post as well.

Piercing howl warrior

It's hard to say, if I made one of my arms warrior do Whirlwind first then back to battle stance -> Sweeping strikes I think that would be about the same, so I can't really say either way.
