1 DK + 4 Rets Quite possibly the most fun I've ever had in WoW

[Ellay]

So my team is up to lvl 63, which isn't that amazing. What is amazing though is tearing through pretty much everything like it's nobodies business.

I gotta say Shamans are still amazing, so is basically every class out there for that matter, but I have never truly been able to cut through mobs / pvp as smooth and mobile as this team offers. Everything is pristine!

I have great ambitions for this team, it's causing me to play WoW a LOT more than I was. The potential of the team has already been shown, seeing it in action though is by far and away a unique experience. It almost feels dirty how powerful this combination becomes.

The time has come to... PUSH THE BUTTON! Galvanize!

That's all

Gratz, I am working on making a melee team once I get all of the BoA gear ready but I am not quite sure what to do.

Since my main team is a pally + 4x shaman team I am debating using a prot warrior as the lead toon on the new team with 4x rets backing it up so once they get to 80 i'll have 5x pallys to play with with a prot warrior to play with and gear on the side.

For pvp the prot warrior may be good with the interrupts and stuns but I wont be able to charge a lot since the pallys may have problems following.

A tank speced DK may be better though since I could pull the targets to the group instead and depending on spec AMZ may be helpful in some instances.

Another option for me would be to do an all DK blood spec cleave team but the tought of doing the starting quests again for them is slightly annoying, and of course having no rez is a killer. :'(

What is the benefit of the dk ? (death grip mob to the midle of the rets ?) how much better than 5 pallies ? What spec is your DK ?

You can 'sort of' bypass the no-rez by leveling them all as Engineers and using the 'Gnomish Army Knife'

DK is spec'd Blood/ Frost.

Outside of the PvP aspect for PvE you get a Strength buff that is always up, 10% AP bonus and 20% melee haste. Paladins pretty much cap out on viable buffs at 3 of them.
Also Path of Frost for instant group water walking has proven very useful.

Glad to see veterans finding new ways to play the old game. If anybody can take the melee teams to a new height, it would probably be u lol.

My x5 paladins are 60 and waiting for RAF debuff to pass in a few days so I can transfer them to my normal accounts. My DK is 67. I can't wait to try this combo out. I spent this week leaning to play my DK better.

ret = ret paladin = haz rez

The "cut past mobs like butter "effect that Pal+Dk combos have is addicting! Mine are still sitting at 75, quests are more or less run through enemy's and they explode. Take it all the way!

I don't know anything about ret paladins. How do you heal your group with the 4 rets?
