Comparison of squads for 5 man dungeons

[nodoze]

Both Tank+3 Mages+Healer & Tank+3 Warriors+Healer are very strong. One advantage of Mage based groups is that you can keep the Mages+Healer back and avoid them getting even splash damage from most things on the Tank. You also can see Aggro switching off the Tank better and have a little more grace time as targets turn & move between the Tank and the DPS group. Instance-wise I mainly 5 boxed & 10 boxed and my group was typically more of a Spell-Cleave group as frankly I found it safer & my default class for most roles were Shaman with Chain Lightnings and Chain Heals & Earth Shield and my favorite Tank was a Consecrating Protection Paladin with maximum reflection damage. Since I had 10 accounts but mainly did groups of 5 I usually had both Warlocks & a Mage to provide summons/stones and ports/water before my sessions to the 5 box group I was working on (I had 5 Warlocks at cap that I used with alts to summon places that ports were not convenient to. Between my 10 accounts through BC and WoTLK I had multiple characters per account at cap and had at least 1 character of every class capped (and 3 plus of most classes) so that I could mix and match and definitely found spell-cleave(ish) great so I don't mean to put spell based groups down or dissuade anyone from them. For mass WPVP I actually wish I was 5boxing or 10boxing a spell based group :-)

Am I crazy for wanting to run a 5 Pally team to clear dungeons? I know DPS won't be stellar but it seems as if all dungeons including UBRS might be a possibility with the high armor, healing, buffs, etc.. The 5 free lvl 40 mounts also are appealing. What do you all think?

My brother and I have been playing Paladins since the 70s and play them in every game that has one. Huge fan of Paladins, including in Vanilla WoW, but I wouldn't run a 5man Paladin team for clearing dungeons. I would do at most 2 (1 Tank & 1 Healer or both Healers). The following is a discussion why:

Recently had an interesting discussion about 5 Paladins all running 'Blackblade of Shahram' due to double proc chance from Seal of Righteousness giving resulting in upto +250 all stats (or +275 all stats with Kings) and +25% haste (in addition to AoE heals, AoE mana, AoE stuns, AoE slows, & AoE damage) to the team. A video focused on the blade (not necessarily 5 Paladins):

gotta be worth the insane farm, it has to be bis for multiboxing until tbc

[Kraxx]

Is it confirmed that Seal of Righteousness procs Shahram?


0.31 drop chance --> worst case 300 UBRS runs for each char?
If you have five of them before classic servers go down you are a lucky one

I can do all the dungeons in classic. I've done UBRS clears with a buddy who plays prot paladin / 3x mage / holy paladin.

My comp is a warrior / 2x mage / hunter / priest. A 3rd mage would have been better but I raid weekly on my warrior and hunter which were my intentions going into classic. I will say that having the hunter with jumper cables can save some running back because a warrior / 3x mage / priest has no wipe protection.

Quiding makes it look pretty trivial:

I had an idea while trying to think of something I haven't done before. Is catform swipe a thing in vanilla? What about a tank with 3 angry little kittens on autofollow spamming swipe(cat)?
