So leveling a 5 man team

[Abyssion]

Using a Monk and a Disc priest for dungeon leveling wasnt a succes AT ALL. The monk dies a shitload of times. At 55 I switched to DK, it went a bit better but still. Whats the best Tank + Healer combo to die a lot less?

Dungeons are messed up at the moment BOA gear only or gtfo... trash hits like a truck in lower dungeons war n disc I have but full boa n still get hit hard

Will it stay this way? They won't nerf the dungeons further?

They are its a huge bug throughout some dungeons. ..some trash destroyed me others just tapped my tank

a warrior with a resto druid and 3 hunters was the best comp i ever ran, at least until the new patch. I supposed the pets will help alot vs the insane trash mobs in lower level dungeons.

I found the secret is to adjust the healing percentages in your healer's routine. Set them to cast their fastest heals constantly on any health loss and you'll do a lot better.

I modified my settings on my disc priest to not cast any group heals until around 10%, and set the biggest fastest heals to around 99-95% health. Mana is not an issue and I don't think I've ever seen the healer's mana drop below 80% on an fight.

One other thing that really helps is change your healer's loot settings in DB to never loot, so they never get too far away from the tank.

I've now done 2 more groups to 85 and after my initial group, I've had a lot less deaths. There's still a lot of damage that gets pumped out on some trash, but still less deaths. The most damage comes when you switch to a different expansion and your gear is lacking.

most likely it will stay like this. they already nerfed it a bit, but it's still harder than before you just have to buy items at the AH every now and then, then it should be fine.

That's excellent advice! Thanks

Yeah priest prayers are crap unless you are holy and are getting haste procs. Nothing is really setup for how healing is now in those dungeons so just make sure to have drinks as needed and spam flash heal.
