Re: Mixed Team
So for those of you already 4 boxing - which tank did you go with? Since we have so much to micro already, I've always been of the opinion that simpler is better while boxing. After reading as much as I could find, it seems like the pros & cons are as follows.
Paladin
Pro - Simpler to play, more defensive & less heal intensive
Con - Low damage, minimal AoE damage, requires a lot of tab-ing through mobs to hold AoE threat.
Warrior
Pro - Relatively high damage, much better AoE. Clears adds much faster in 4 man content.
Con - More complex to play. At least 3 situational combos, each with 3 steps plus a frontal cone AoE that requires positioning.
Is that about right? I'm thinking Warriors would help clear instances much faster but I'm not sure how to effectively keymap those situational combos without significantly increasing the number of things we have to monitor. IE. Micromanaging click bars or manually swapping between target action groups.
It may be that I'm overestimating how complex their combos are. If you're boxing a Warrior at a decent level, how are you managing it?
