Most of these real boss fights as melee make it seem like tank and spank classes are sitting on an upwards log. took so long to kill quov, and i'm using the all is one set with 550 all res 95/90/90/95. teleports, cool. brachy, morphs close range, cool. uldy, 800 ele pierce, cool. how does melee actually be melee against these bosses? is it really necessary to use spell specs and classes for the opportunity to kill these bosses? already invested dozens of hours just to get to the point of taking quov out, getting gear, getting gear, testing variants, getting gear; one fight? some of the players around here have all the loot, killed all the bosses, pick the right class and right spec because they already know what works, and don't waste any time. some class are just too strong, others just outright suck. respect, replace jewels, prebuff, die, repeat. 121 druid, 120 paladin, but it's not enough. farming is boring, but if i was elemental with the same stats, these bosses would probably be cheese. why is the game like this, and if it's not, can somebody explain to me what i'm doing wrong here?

Cache: most specs are not able to do every uber. As I understand it, this is on purpose; why don't you try with an elemental spec? Sure, you need to regear, but you don't need to throw away your melee stuff, just swap out. With the belladonna elixir (oil of absolution + any rune) you can respec as many times as you want.

I have a video up on YouTube of me doing it as a melee sorc. I would post it but I'm on my phone, but you should be able to find it easy enough. The short of it comes down to having like 450% poison/fire resist, 95% max poison/fire resist, and then just getting down the rotation of when to run away as the maggot morph is timered. The strat should be the same for any melee spec and just comes down to you being able to deal with heroic shields.

Can't get near the boss as elemental. This fucking sucks.
