Melee-Cleave Boxing End Game Dungeons

[nodoze]

Any SWWWW boxers farming Naxx Trash for the BoE's? I've been a retailboy and i'll likely never get around to it until TBC.

Can't say for sure but it doesn't seem likely. Naxx trash hits very hard (ghouls hit for 1500ish on a full T2 warrior) and without CC a single healer won't be able to keep melee alive.

Might be possible for mages and maybe even warlocks with curse of exhaustion. Though, I seem to recall Blizzard patching something that made mobs reset if you tried to kite them beyond a certain point. If kiting does work, you could sub in a warrior with 3 mages just to soak up loot.

If not, there will be tons of trash farm raids to join.

For a 5boxer I agree with Apatheist that likely W+3M+Healer would be the best option for trash as being able to totally CC at least 3 mobs is just too strong (and you maybe be able to round-robin CC a few more).

If you are more than 5boxing then likely I would do more Mages and maybe a 2nd Warrior and/or a 2nd Healer. Two 5boxers working together (or a 10boxer) would be strong with 2Warriors+2Priests+6Mages. Some swaps I would consider would be swapping out the 2nd Warrior for a Druid/Paladin Tank or a Priest for a Druid/Paladin/Shaman Healer and maybe 1 Mage for a Warlock for curse/buff/stones/etc.

I prefer Paladin Tanks and Druid Tanks for 5mans Dungeon grinding teams but a well geared Warrior does have the highest mitigation, control, & at least single target threat and seems best for raid trash packs that are mostly CCed.
