Melee-Cleave Boxing End Game Dungeons

[Peregrine]

Multiple people ran 3Warriors+2Paladin (all in melee range attacking all the time) for dual buffs/auras/seals/judgements and lots of fast heals. A big benefit of this was for to have redundant healers/cleansers for PVP but in PVE dungeons there were lots of times that I felt like had I only had 1 Paladin my team would have gone down either to not enough heals per second &/or going OOM. That being said, once the warriors & paladin were well geared, likely 4 Warriors+1Paladin for PVE would be better.

If you are going to only have 1 healer from the get go leveling up to cap and at cap I would think Priest would be better from a standpoint of having some AoE heal options and some instant heals though I think Merc said he had problems at times with Priest healing aggro.

Still, I think 2 paladins are bis for 3 warriors insteads 4x warr/paladin. Why? What if your paladin gets sheeped? other pala will insta dispell him? Kings plus might plus Battle shout is incredible ap plus stamina. Ideally, priest pala is best setup due to increased stamina for warriors plus double dispell but 2x pala is also insane.

My comments that 4Warriors+1Paladin being fine once they are well geared was for PVE. In PVE if you are fighting mobs that will sheep the Paladin healer you can keep Blessing of Sacrifice on the Warrior who has aggro and you will be un-sheeped every time the warrior is hit.

In PVP I would always do 2 Paladins. 2 Paladins can keep 'Blessing of Sacrifice' on each other so you can't just Sheep (or Sap) one and then try to burn the other as it will automatically un-sheep the other (a safeguard in addition to fast cleansing). It is basically like a skull of impending doom you can keep up to empower the pair as much as you need.
