Multiclass Melee team?

[remanz]

The gear requirments aren't really scaring me off too much. When my shamans were crap geared they sucked real bad too. I guess by gear dependent, do you mean that Relentless set/wrathful offset w/ epic weaps. from the higher up 5 mans won't produce decent results?

I think what he means is that

for melee, let's say your goal is to get arena weapon. you are not likely going to get the weapon until you have all your gears (even weapons) are on par or better than arena 1800 rating level.

So kinda like, in order to be 1800, you have to have 1800 gear.

Shamans, you can probably get by with a bit lower gear. (using last season's gear to obtain this season's )

The quel'delar is not that far behind the 1800 wep. If you can hit 1500 to get the offpieces and legs and chest then you can work your way up to 1800 for the weps.

Not to take away anything from zug. But controlling 4 melee + 1 priest , so the priest doesn't need to move while fighitng ?

While 4 other melees running around like mad, the pries stands there and heal. and that worked ok ? OR he controlled priest's individual movements.

edit: nvm. now that I think about it. he can control the preist as main. and let the melee do their thing. somehow the idea of "DK has to lead" stuck in my head

Zugdud is a 4-boxer in arena lol.

I found zug's quote

For BGs I find it easy to box the dedicated healer, however in the Arenas I only 4box the melee and have my buddy playing a Disc Priest covering primary heals.

lol. let's just be clear then, Zug didn't play all 5 by himself. So 4 melees + 1 healer is falling into the same category as 5 boxing 4 shamans 1 healer. A.K.A , the didn't work too well category.

Yea I am trying to find where someone said he played all 5. I said mixed melee, unless you could count a disc priest swinging his mace around as melee.

Greetings,

I only 4boxed the melee in 5v5, that's not to say boxing all 5 isn't possible in 5v5 but rather that I never really put much effort into trying it. Dungeons and BGs require little more then spamming damage, so I think you will find running your own healer here very doable, however with the additional micromanagement required to win arenas I just found it too overwhelming for my tastes. if your interested in running something similar with the end goal of farming heroics and BGs id say go for it, I thought the team was alot of fun, especially if you enjoy tweaking specs/macros ((tons of possibilities here)). If arenas are your thing, you may find it difficult to unlock all the gear running all 5...but if you wimp out like me and have a buddy covering heals it's pretty doable! And who knows, mabey running your own healer in arenas really isn't that bad, remember, I gave up without putting much effort into it.

TL;DR edition: Fun team, would play again!
