Melee Comp Viability

[Khatovar]

I run a mostly melee group {see sig} .

prot pally would tank, provide imp devotion aura, blessing of sanctuary, and also toss holy lights that splash to entire party

Your tank will NOT be healing. Any non-instant cast spell brings your block and parry to ZERO. You will have no mana pool for casting Holy Lights anyway. You will end up taking far more damage than you heal, and even if you could manage to land heals, your mana would be way better spent continuing your tanking rotation.

Blessing of Sanc will have next to no use on anyone other than your tank. If your other toons are dodging, blocking or parrying enough to see any return whatsoever on BoSanc, then your tank is not doing his job. Your major Glyphs should be Hammer of Righteousness, Divine Plea and Seal of Vengeance.

I read earlier on here that to do adequate dps with an enhancement shaman takes ones full attention, as opposed to the very simple ret rotation.

Enh shaman take no more attention than rets do, it's still a single proc to worry about, everything else can be shoved into a single click sequence.

Very good point!

Does blessing of sanctuary not stack with kings? Eeek, might have to switch back to my original idea and do a tiny titan tank for fun. Thus the reason I post before I run around like an idiot with kings and sanc on thinking im sooo strong with +20% strength.

In that case, think i'd take the prot pally outta the comp, replace him with a 3rd retadin that has 18 pts into prot for imp devotion aura. As for a tank....what about a god-mode fury tank in defensive stance? mmm...something like...

if I use a tanking 1her with 1.6 attack speed + 25% flurry and 20% imp haste from shammy or dk for 56% haste, could potentially being healing up to 6% of max hp every 4 seconds from imp bloodthirst, would prolly want to mix tanking and dps gear on most runs, only going full tank gear for things such as HoR....mmm, seems like dual spec should be focused into actually getting titans grip and being back in zerker stance for dps...

hmmm tempted to build this:
1 rampaging warrior tank
1 dk
1 enhance shammy
2 retadins, one with imp devo

i like the utility of having dk and shammy for initiating battle in pvp

Question: how do melee auto return to targets after fears and such, and what is the range of their pathfinding ability?
