Melee-Cleave Boxing End Game Dungeons

[nodoze]

Having some trouble on the more melee damage heavy mobs. Shaman is full pre-raid BiS in mp5 gear to be able to spam lesser + chain heal effectively.

Warriors all have Treant's Bane, and the best pre-raid DPS oriented plate gear (no leather / mail). Along with stam enchants.

DM:N the Ogre packs with more than 4 are completely unrealistic in melee damage. They can easily take down one of the warriors. Especially due to the enrage that the ogres do.

UD:Strat the 5 pack of super elite skeletons right before Baron, is very difficult to get by and almost always requires one of the warriors putting on full Molten Core prot gear just to down them.

UBRS - Rend runs require a second healer, but otherwise runs go pretty well. with just 5 warriors + 2 healers.

Anyone else run into a hard time with these places? Any tips? Seems like I hit a ceiling gear wise unless I can gear out the DPS warriors in Molten Core loot.

One thought I had in those kind of scenarios would be to have a modifier that allowed all 4 Warriors to attack their own/current target and NOT assist until after you have built up solid aggro on each mob on a single warrior such that the incoming damage isn't too high on any single warrior. After you solidify the aggro you can then turn off the modifier and focus DPS on one target at a time until they all go down. Even against a 5 pack a given Warrior should have at most 2 mobs on him and you could try to make the 5th mob could be the mob focus fired down first to keep the incoming damage spread as evenly as possible. You could even try having the Shaman cast a slightly delayed shock on the 5th one to give each mob a different target to DPS on.

If a modifier was setup it should, in practice, be kinda like how Mage groups target a different mob to sheep before starting an engagement except that everyone continued to attack their designated until aggro is solidified (and then the modifier is turned off)...

If you didn't want to mess with a modifer you could maybe have some DPS keys that were not FTL/assist enabled and use those keys initially and then switch to your regular assist based DPS keys.

Please try this and report back if it helped or not.
