Group Setup

[K'aldar]

Haven't seen much talked about in this area.. so I figured I'd see what most of you prefer.  What group setup do you like best for tanking, offtanking, or if you're just a fill in tank in the raid maybe throwing out some dps.  Feel free to post any facts if any of you happened to do some parsing/number crunching that I'm too lazy to do.

<p>tanking in a plain old group i prefer a druid, warlock or wizzie and a dirge...everything else is up for grabs...</p><p>druid b/c the combo of our ward and the druid HoT is phenomenal...i've pretty much duoed exclusively with a fury since apr 05, and nothing is better imo...and a fury can provide the DPS plate tanks lack in a duo situation, wardens not so much <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>warlock/wizzie for the amends target, warlocks are nice due to the AOE, as long as they're not pulling half the zone doing it <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>and dirge to speed up killing <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> scout dps ftw! - i've noticed unrest runs go much much faster with a dirge in group...</p>

Once, I had a regular group with illusionist, fury, inquisitor.  They stacked quite a bit of haste/dps mods on me.  But overall, I find that any balanced group is effective.  I used to have some trouble holding agro with a warlock+brigand or warlock+wizard, since I could amend the single target dps person and get the warlock killed on groups, or I could amend the warlock, and have the single target dps draw agro on the main target.  I don't know how I fixed it, maybe dps upgrades, maybe learning how to use sigil, maybe the non-amend target just knows not to go all-out.In a raid, the standard MT/OT groups work pretty well, but since I haven't seen a dirge or coercer in two months, we've been using two priests, amends, and a scout with additional agro transfer.
