Mists of Pandaria Classic Dungeons: How to make a good party

Dungeons in Mists of Pandaria are designed for 5 players: 1 Tank, 1 Healer, and 3 Damage Dealers (DPS). A balanced group is key to smooth runs—especially in Heroic mode at level 90.

Roles You Need

• Tank (Must-have) – Holds enemy attention ( Monk, Warrior, Paladin, Death Knight, Druid).
• Healer (Must-have) – Keeps the group alive ( Monk, Priest, Druid, Shaman, Paladin).
• DPS (3 slots) – Kills enemies fast (any class, but bring crowd control if possible).

Best Class Compositions

• Easiest Setup:
  • Brewmaster Monk (Tank) + Mistweaver Monk (Healer) + Flexible DPS
  • Protection Paladin (Tank) + Restoration Shaman (Healer) + Ranged DPS
• For Fast Clears:
  • Blood Death Knight (Self-sustain Tank) + Discipline Priest (Strong shields) + AoE DPS ( Mage, Warlock, Hunter)

Key Tips for Success

• Bring Crowd Control (CC) – Some pulls are deadly without it (Shado-Pan Monastery, Siege of Niuzao Temple).
• Use Interrupts – Many bosses have spells that must be stopped.
• Know Mechanics – Some fights (like Master Snowdrift in Shado-Pan) require movement.
• Heroic Dungeons? – Gear up first (~430+ item level) and communicate with your group.

Dungeon Difficulty Tier (From Easiest to Hardest)

1. Temple of the Jade Serpent (Simple mechanics, good for learning)
2. Stormstout Brewery (Fun but some tricky pulls)
3. Scarlet Halls/Monastery (Revamped classics, straightforward)
4. Mogu’shan Palace (Some coordination needed)
5. Shado-Pan Monastery (Hardest for PUGs, needs interrupts & CC)

Final Tip: If you’re struggling, check guides for boss tactics or run with guildmates. A well-built party makes MoP dungeons fast and fun!

Final Thoughts

Mists of Pandaria dungeons offer a great mix of challenge and fun, whether you’re leveling up or gearing at max level.
