I forgot to mention:
Now I am running with 3 level 11 melee DPS (soon to be 4) till I find 3 Quick Hedge Knights for the “workhorse” tank role. And the reduction in inidividual melee DPSers damage numbers are very noticeable, especially if 2 of them are bunched near each other. So melee DPS body count has a very low ceiling, I think.
