Starting 3 boxing today need advice...

Alright as the title says, I need advice. I am about to start 3 boxing and was wanting to know what the best 3 classes for PvP would be.

for Straight PVP/farming, 3 of the same class would be pretty easy. 3 shamans or 3 mages would be some serious focus fire.

I'd lean towards 3 mages myself...3 x POM Pyro is pretty awesome. No healing kinda sucks though...

What about 3 warlocks? I was wondering about this for myself actually.

I did actually think about 3 locks, since I dont know how to do 2 locks and a healer, but I was also wondering about 3 hunters..

I have really liked using priests. You got direct damage (smite, mind blast), healing, shields. You also have a wand which can do some serious dmg with no mana.

I was doing 3 boxes with priests and I would usually start out with a dot (3xshadow word pain), then cast smite or mind blast, whichever was bigger. If the 3 direct damage spells didn't kill it, then the tick tick of shadow word pain would finish em off. I could cast rejuves (if needed) and pull the next one, maybe exclusvely using wands. Get the best wand for your level, usually hand crafted by enchanters till about level 20 or so, and they can really put out some dmg * 3.

I did mages up to about 20 or so, and while their dmg was good, they were just too squishy for my taste. A lot of their ability is simliar to a hunters. Like they kite around to throw out a fire blast while being chased, or frost nova and step back a few feet to get out of range, ect.. Too much micro management for my taste when you have two guys following one.

A tank with two DPS on the other hand could be pretty good. If the dps can also heal (shaman, priest), then you can go around with hardly any down time and don't have to worry about the healers getting agro. you can also do instances then since you have a real "tank". Might have to do it when the mobs are all green, but at least your doing it :).

A Druid/2 mages sounds interesting. You can get the initial agro in cat form, which has decent dps, and go all out with your mages till dead. After the fight is over, swap out, heal thyself and pull the next one while dropping back into cat form.

3x lock is non stomp dot farming... once you have 5 in improved corruption

have 3 at 18 and I run around westfall dotting everything in my path then have to run back and loot them where they fall
