Hello again all!

It's been a couble of weeks since I discovered the fun of multiboxing, I started out with a dual box setup, shamans and hated them, so switched to Warlocks that I know well.
A few days later, I decided that I was comfortable enough, after getting the warlocks to 47, that I would go all out on 5 boxing. Since then, I tried 5xShaman, didn't like it at
first, but then got my healing totem and fell in love, then chain lightning and chain heal .. now I'm really not too sure I want to put them on hold until after my RAF finishes!!

Anyway, for my next team, I just can't decide on how to go. At the moment, I am just leveling 5 man teams to 60, so that I have them waiting for when my RAF goes. So, I
want to make a Mage team, would I be ok with 5xMage, or would it be best to go 4xMage and 1xShadow Priest?

I have a feeling that a 5xWarlock team would do very well for PvE, but would need to drop a lock for a SP for PvP?

My final team choice at the moment is Boomkins, but they don't get their boomkin form for a good few levels, so, would it be best to go with maybe a Paladin as master for
tanking, with 4xDruids sitting back and doing the nuking, or would it be better to go with 5xDruid, 1 as a Feral and the others nuking with the intention of finally making them
all Boomkin?

Thanks in advance for any advice.
Back to my Shaman I go, only 4 levels to 60!

My advice: Level every team you think you want, as long as you can stand putting in the time. I regret not finishing my druids, and had to do some hoops to get them finalized, as I didn't want to re-RAF, and i didnt want to lvl without RAF....

I've never liked running without a healer, even solo. 1 priest and 4 locks, or 4 mages is very nice. 4 DPS still does a nice amount of DPS, and you can still use the healer for additional dps. You could also try a separate healer for each of the 4x dps teams, to give you options later. I leveled a priest and 4 mages, and at 70 swapped a mage out for my paladin tank.

Go through everything you like, in order of priority. Exploit the tar out of granted levels. It is quite possible to get ALL classes to 60 within the RAF time period if you know what you're doing, even without logging any insane hours. I've been busy with high level college coursework, and am doing my last run to 60 now with ample time to complete all classes across five accounts. RAF is megalulz.

One thing that's mildly nice to do is make sure one account has all tanks, and another has all healers. During leveling up you get a feel for which of them you like. Leveling is also a good way to explore DPS classes, of course. But remember that many of these you are going to take to 31 (a few lazy afternoons once you know your questing pattern), grant to 60, and not touch again until RAF is done. You will be broke, they will not have all their skills trained...you will still need to make some choices at that point about where your GOLD goes first.

Anyway: have fun, kick ass, bleed RAF for all it's worth before it runs out.

Thanks for the input, guys, much appreciated.

I decided to go with a 5 Warlock team, but have been thinking more and more about it today. Obviously, it's a lot easier to level
5 characters at the same time if they are all the same class, as the macro'ing is minimal and all the same. But, while the Shaman
were easy and the Warlocks have their own tanks, I've been worrying about the other classes I want to level.

Eventually I would like 1 character of each class on each of my 5 accounts. Hunters are going to be easy, Priests, hmm, not sure.
Mages I can imagine will be a pain in the arse, nice damage but little survivability.

So I've got to thinking about leveling up multiclass groups. Perhaps using a 2 x Hunter for pet tankage, then 4 x another class that
needs dragging up, like Pala/Warrior/Rogue etc.

How did you all do it?
