Substitute Mage For Warrior in WMMMP?

[nodoze]

I think the MMMMP groups focus on fast XP to 60 & mostly avoid bosses to get to 60. Once they get to 60 and start getting better geared they can take on more and more bosses.

It seems to me that MMMMP is likely the fastest team to level to cap if you take the above approach and avoid bosses.

The above being said I think a team with a Tank is the most flexible/viable overall and safest for most folk.

Edit: Note that while dropping from 4 mages to 3 mages is 25% less Mage damage that doesn't mean 25% less team damage. At cap a properly geared reflective & consecrating Paladin Tank typically does most of it's threat via damage and while it isn't the same damage as a mage it certainly isn't zero.
