4x Melee Discussions

[heyaz]

One fear I have in investing a lot into a melee team is that Interact with Target gets changed. One keybinding makes this all possible, what if they suddenly changed it to work on Interactive NPCs only? I have a feeling the key bind was not added to help keyboard turners in pvp.

So, my Paladins are 70 now and I'm debating starting another team of 4 somethings while they collect some rested experience. My Shaman're 69 and getting the same treatment. DK's are the most likely choice but I'm not sure if I have the patience to PvP-gear out multiple sets of toons and not go crazy.

I wonder if Kromtor has any comments on a melee team considering his experience

[Kromtor]

DK's could be great. I might make a team of them myself.

the rogue idea sounds just nasty.. i mean one rogue can ownn my guys, like just because they stun and sometimes when i play solo i can die before im out of stun in 1000 resil.. its liike wtf ;-0 lol.. i could see bursting instant own one, then use defensive CD, and just slow the crap out of whoever is getting killed so they cant run away or get heals because of posions.... just i dont really like the melee thing... i like my shammies ;0

With the rogues, you could burst one, hit preparation and burst another.
At that point, its 5 on 3, but you're out of cooldowns which means you're very vulnerable as a rogue.

If its 4 rogues and a healer, you might be in good shape 5 on 3, especially if the two you took our were DPS toons. With all poisons on all targets (Fan of Knives x4), you could be in decent shape.

I'm messing around with a macro for focus, but going Round Robin and FTL on it, via InnerSpace. So press 1 has Toon A set the current target to their Focus. Press 2 has Toon B set the current target to their Focus etc. Mine is for Cyclone to multiple targets at once, but this could work for melee targeting too... not sure how well though.

You could possibly go with a macro to target your focus, and then spam Interact along with an interrupt click sequence featuring Kick, something for combo points and then Kidney Shot... with two rogues on each healer.

Not really sure how viable this would be, but it could be fun.

hard enough to vanish 1 rogue and get away id really like to see someone vanish 4-5 rogues and get away to reopen on another target

I gotta say though, this has really invigorated my interest in WoW and it's all about having fun. Sorry to disappoint any by not playing my Shamans more and going for gold. After 4-5 Seasons of pure Ele Shamans ( I barely play alts) it's the same old thing.
This is new and quite ironic more relaxing.

Pickering around with melee more and more here myself. I have been theorycrafting about a number of different combos.

[Mosg2]

I agree Ellay. I'm looking for something new and fun and I think melee are a largely unexplored area.

We know that Paladins work. What else is the question.

I think DK's, Enhance Shaman, and Rogues are going to be the most likely prospects. Warriors and Feral Druids are just going to get CC'd and destroyed.

Thoughts?

I dont know, I think feral have their place, they have passive group healing and +5% crit for group with I Lotp and they get talents that allow immune to fear for 15 sec. They cant be poly'd. and atm they do insane dmg. They get a snare off their main attack and get an interupt thru maim.

Managing shifts would be the hard part maybe or macroing in general, of course I have no proof of them being viable. I am just spit-balling here. ;p
