So, recently i started thinking of trying out melee boxing.
nd i couldnt figure out the best composition, what i should roll with to be efficient, since as far as i understand melees are way more squishy than casters when it comes to really hard fights xD
i know my pc can manage 25chars, maybe more with melee team.
so, currently i am thinking about this:
like 5 dks
like 10retri's
5enhancements(must for many reasons)
and 5 resto druids
any ideas?
thanks in advance!
Depends on the expansion and if u are going to do pvp or pve.
In pvp a 25 man setup should consist only of range dps and healer.
Range dps can kill opponents faster than melee when playing so many chars because they dont need to run in melee range to deal dmg.
Imo the best 25 man pvp setups:
Wotlk: 20 ele shami, 5 resto dudu
Cata: 20 Hunter(BM or MM), 5 resto dudu(optional 1-2 resto shamis)
Mop: 20 Hunter(BM or MM), 5 healer(not sure what is the best healer in MoP. Probably also resto dudu)
Keep in mind that Cata has many AoE CC effects such as solar beam and ring of frost and on MoP its even worse.
Wotlk is the best expansion for multiboxing in pvp.

20 frost dk and 5 resto dudu should work decent. 20 times howling blast should be enough to global groups of opponents and 20 times deathgrip makes it impossible to kite u.Quote:

What might be interesting though is http://wotlk.openwow.com/spell=51524 but im not sure if it removes slow effects raid or only party wide.
if i had 5 shamans it would remove raid wide aither way xD and yes, mainly for tremor, because fears are huge problem if you dont have tremor or some kind of dispells.Quote:

maybe you could tell me some more info? for example why retris would be not as efficient? i would imagine them being good for buffs and some off heals, but i never tryed boxing them tbh.
Sorry for the nab question but won't you use 20 grips at the same time? Or you can manage it one grip only each time? (Unless there's a shamam with Grounding Totem nearby) And also could be gamebreake for warlocks using portal after grip - 2nd grip ggQuote:

as for fears, its works for like 8 players, not sure about warriors fear. and think of it this way. i get feared 5-8 chars goes away, then comes another fear, then i get feared another 5-8 charsand so on, i can get whole group in fear if they time it right... usually they just go all and stacks like 2-3 fears, but that with random ppl xD
as for kite, ofc i would have dks in my group, i thought like 5 dk's with grips would be fine counting that grip has 30sec cd, so basicly i could grip a person every 8 seconds, while waiting for cd to go off, i would finish off melees at me and nearby caster with chains of ice.
ill post an update :P
so, i decided to make 20x dk team cus i thought that would give me more survivability. but i still dont know if that will be efficient.
but also i decided to make another 10 paladins and gear them up, so i could test what is more efficient, so basicly ill just go with both team:
1. 20x dk 5x resto druid
2. 5x dk 5x enhancement shamans 10x paladins 5x resto druids
lets see how it rolls out!
Autobots roll out! - Daibetes
i wish you good luck, but what are you actualy aiming for?
PVP? PVE?
im mainly doing PvP, but with these melee's i will try going PvE.
