Looking for tips on 5 man bot teams

from 3 hours last night I made about 9k which was pretty good, the tanking script seems to love to go and clear everything so it isn't as fast as it could be but I enjoy watching them on my second monitor haha
 
That's pretty normal isn't it? That was just on random , typically the runs lasted about 10-15 minutes, tons of greens to vendor and ended up with a good profit. I rather enjoy the melee swarm, no worries about LOS or tageting in general. I had my warlock going in at one point but he never had time to cast and it was a waste with him moving mid cast to be within 20 of the tank, right now i have 2 dks 2 arms 1 shaman healer and its very quick
 
I am curious though if it is possible to get the delay on rolling for loot to be much lower, It is a pretty big waste of time when they sit for up to 5 seconds waiting to roll greed or need

Nah man, thats "significantly" above the numbers I see around (my own numbers are around 450-500 since patch) Could you perhaps do me a favor and go ahead and check the dps with recount addon? Would save me leveling melee classes.

Dk tank sits about 6500-7000, dk frost 8-9k, warriors 6-8, shaman about 1.5-2k lol I am going to trade out of my warriors though as the frost dk does way more damage in aoe and to the boss.

Thanks man, I appreciate it:o. Your DK tank does 3k dps more than my Feral and Pala tank, but mine are around ilvl 535. Dps 1-2k lower, but those are also around ilvl 535.

Guess I'll have to think about doing BGs.

I forgot to add they are mostly in 550 ilvl pvp gear which took me about 2 days on alliance, since AV and IOC are almost 100% win rates
 
Yeah I like the pvp gear lol easy ilvl for not a lot of work, also the trinkets are nice, I run humans so I have both the proc and on use, and I have the dps and tank set to use them off cooldown. I am really enjoying the melee swarm

Set your tank to master looter and have your others pass on loot. Get the biggest bags possible for your tank. Set only sell at 0 open bag slots.

You may have to go vendor more, but it will end up saving time in the long run.

With your ilvl, none of your other characters should need loot, so this shouldn't be a problem at all for you.
 
Yea casters not very usefull in 5-man groups imo, melee aoe is the way to go.

Wonder if it does offset some flags though. Been thinking about it myself + you could also use potions of luck this way.
 
yup, melee or 3 hunters. This definitely seems to be the quickest right now. You can make any group comp work really, but for speed, casters are lagging far behind right now.

My optimal group would be:

Prot Warrior
Warrior
Warrior
Hunter
Disc Priest

If you had the BoA's, this would be quick. If you're gearing along the way, you're going to be a bit slower due to competition for gear between the warriors.

How long do your accounts normal last when doing dungeons?
 
running 3 bm hunters, 1 blood dk, and a balance druid for offheals (never seen him use healing though, nerf blood dks and hunter passive healing). All in 550 pvp gear, trash mobs die in 1-2 seconds, most bosses go down after 6-7 seconds, except when there are timewasting mechanics. The blink talent on the pets is what makes it so fast, along with the pet aoe when you use multishot. If i had been running melees they woulda taken too long to get to the mobs, hunter pets just instantly teleport and kill.

Shame you have to have a tank +healer + dps team to be allowed to queue for randoms, or else i woulda leveled another hunter and swapped out the druid (have to queue the balance druid up as healer, or it wont let me queue for randoms).

I've set up the druid and one of the hunters to always loot, since the bag selling is bugged right now, only sells out of 2 bags or something. According to the addon !statter, I average 750 gph each on the 3 guys not looting anything, and around 1200 gph each on the two guys looting after i've vendored stuff (not counting auctioning motes of harmony and the cloth), which comes out to about 4600 gph in total. I usually let em run for 10-12 hours a day, and it's way smoother and safer than when i was running azyl's dungeon farming.

So for the last 5 days i've made about 50k each day after 10-12 hours farming= 250k gold. And I am seriously considering making another 5 man team.
 
Hey guys.
Have some Q

1. Gearing team. TI ? Bg ?
2. all 5 = one server ?
3. Potion of luck ?

tnx
 
If i could I would run all prot warriors at the moment, I just got the heroic(normal) heirloom from garrosh for 5k last night on my fury warrior, was pissed it was the 1 hander str and figured whatever dk can dps and ill have him tank, well now the average dps for that warrior is 12000dps for an entire run, i can't run anything with it that isn't all instant casts because everything melts too fast. I am quite enjoying it cream through heroics as a great pace
