Comparison of squads for 5 man dungeons

[Gnomepower]

I also plan to main a warrior, and I had been planning war/priest/mage/mage/lock (principally PVE). These multi-warrior threads by nodoze and apatheist have convinced me to consider war/war/war/pally/druid. Similar flexibility to the 3/2 war/pally setup, but gives me a stealth miner and LOTP. Leveling plan is bear tank/pally healer, and warrior cleave/ww fest. I’m testing out on retail now to see how IWT feels (I’m new to it, but it works really well so far). I suspect just having such a large % of dps coming from passive melee autoattacks is going to reduce the dps micromanagement and lead to faster dungeon clears. I’ll miss the food/ports/summons, but I think I’ll level a caster team after the melee team.

Interesting take on the bear tank, it does give some variety. LoTP is nice with 3 melee, that makes sense. You also gain an alternative armour type while leveling to capitalize on drops. Personally I like that more than double pally as I’m not planning to world pvp much. Yes, the melee autoattack train cleaving and shredding everything just sounds so fantastic. I’m going to setup a melee team on retail to get better with IWT use. This is great peeps thanks for all the feedback/ideas

After thinking about this more, I don’t think I’d do bear tank as I intend to play warrior main and I feel like I’d end up wanting to play on the bear’s screen since he would be tanking. Do you think you could set-up the bear tank as a slave fairly easily and still be able to maintain threat on most things? If not then I’m leaning more toward 4 wars in that case as I can go prot on my main closer to 60 and get used to being efficient as that. Otherwise I’d probably just aggro bounce between dps warriors at lower levels (if feasible). Love to have people’s feedback about this though!
