5 box lvl 50 dungeons?

[shadowlord633]

Has anyone successfully completed a level 50 dungeon yet 5 boxing? If so, what is your team makeup and strategies for doing them. So far I haven't been able to beat any boss yet with my team: Tank-Riftstalker/bd, 2 bards/mm, cloro/pyro, cleric-warden/sent. Any little bit helps

My team just turned 50 as well and I have started 5 boxing the lvl 50 dungeons ( AP & CC )

My issue is my DPS is low and my cleric doesn't have a lot of healing to do as my chloro can pretty much heal my tank through a battle, so, i am considering moving the cleric to a DPS role, or, leave the cleric healing and switch chloro to a full on DPS build.

You need to be able to watch for the AoE attacks when the boss emotes and then move everyone out of the way. This is still taking me a while to get the hang of but managed to get the 1st boss down in AP last night.

My tank is a 51 spec Void Knight with points in paladin and warlord for the extra block and extra armor.

Here is a link to cichard's 5 boxing videos for regular and expert dungeons, so, yes it can be done.

Finally did my first 50 dungeon with my 5 man box. Did Charmer's Caldera after watching a video on youtube that made it so simple

I just hit 50 this weekend on my last rogue (a week before that on the other 4) and I've completed normal Charmer's Caldera and Abyssal Precipice. My rogues are ranger/bard/nightblade spec and I just spam cadence with either coda of fury or coda of restoration depending on how the pet health is doing. Stupid easy if you're careful with pulls.

I'll post a video of the Charmer's Caldera runs if I get home at a reasonable hour.

[edit] NOTE: I'm not using a tank. My pets tank everything.

Nice!

Going to try CC again tonight as I have respec'd my cleric a bit and upgraded a few green pieces of gear.

<Also, runs off to create 3 more rogues.>

There are a couple of pulls in there that I suspect will be difficult or impossible in expert mode using the pigs as tanks, though I could be wrong. I've yet to run an expert rift or dungeon so I'm not sure how the damage scales.

Getting better at this. The key i found is to suit up your guys in the best crafted gear you can get. Able to do Foul Cascade in expert mode pretty easily except for Queen at end. Get her down to bout half health before my group succumbs to her and the adds. Think i need to add more AE heals but mana doesn't last long cause its a long fight. Changed my group to WAR pali/vk/war, 2 ROGUEs mm/bard/nb, CLERIC ward/sent/cab, MAGE cloro/pyro/storm.

Take a look back through the older posts in the Rift section here, I think it was Alemi who cleared every lvl 50 expert dungeon with a Cleric tank and 4 mages.

I'm leveling this group right now for myself, and completely cleared Foul Cascade last night at lvl 29 + 30. I also already have a warrior tank and healer cleric to sub in once these guys hit 50, so I plan to play a couple comps to find what works best for me. So far I much much much prefer warrior tanking, so many more tools than the cleric has... just my 2s.

I am getting pwned at level 30 in Deepstrike Mines, it just seems my warden healer cannot keep up with the incoming damage on the pally tank. What am I missing? Team is pally tank, fire mage, ranger/mm hunter, cabalist cleric and warden cleric.

[Ughmahedhurtz]

Sounds like the pally doesn't have the..."hardness"(?) points in the right souls. There are some talents that are almost a must and that make your tank much less squishy. Unfortunately, I've never run a paladin in rift. Check this link out. Might give you some ideas.
