Comparison of squads for 5 man dungeons

[balton]

I was thinking If a team with 2 paladins and 3 mages works fine... When you play with a tank, healer and 3 mages, this work, but the leveling is more slow. If i use 2 paladins (1 tank and 1 healer), can i use one of this to do aoe damage?

Yes a Paladin Tank is an AoE damage character who mainly generates threat via damage that is magnified, relatively, via their threat management tools (both magnification of their own threat and, if needed, diminishing of other's threat). Their damage is definitely not as high as any of the Mages but it is significant.

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?

Based from YouTube, the only team I've seen beating Baron so far

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

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 don't know if it has been confirmed for sure on live Classic Servers specifically for BoS but double proc chance has been confirmed on many other melee items. I don't know if this was one of the items that got an increased drop chance when they later increased in Vanilla the drop chance for Baron's mount, Ironfoe, etc and it will be interesting if we get the increased drop chances in a patch like they did on Vanilla servers.. It would be a pretty crazy farm even with the increased drop chance...

Nobody has given any love to the 1-Prot Warrior 4-Elemental Shaman.

It's great burst damage all the healing you'll need (I rarely need to heal during any single pull and often go multiple pulls until I need to heal. I farm Live Strat for gold farming) and when things go wrong you have 4 reincarnates that can all rez. You aren't going to do the massive AOE pulls that mages can do, and you aren't going as fast as 4-warriors 1-shaman but I do a full strat live in about 30 minutes which is fast enough for me.

Im just wondering. Could a WMMMP team do Strath Baron run?
I find the fights where the boss summons multiple adds are quite difficult to handle with AE spam as i go oom fast.

I might have to make a horde team because this is a close as you can get to Paly+4shaman, the team that brought me to this site back in BC ( and Ellay ) I still love that team the most. ( not great on live atm ) Or maybe druid(bear)+shaman
