Experiment: 1 BM Hunter + 3 Elemental Shaman

[magwo]

BM hunter + 3 shammies.
What do you think about this potential multibox setup for arena?

The big wins are:
* The Beast Within - this will ensure freedom of movement by preventing people from locking down your main with stuns and roots
* Pet stun (should be awesome for setting up kills)
* MS effect (try healing that...) (new)
* Better damage output from main wile under siege (not much casts) (new)
* Long-range slow (also good for setting up kills)
* Pet charge (also good for setting up kills)
* Hunter damage does not get grounded
* Hunter damage not mitigated by anti-magic stuff
* Spammable meelee range slow

The big losses AFAICS are:
* Less healing
* Fewer totems
* Slightly harder to setup and play



Your opinions?

Who's the fifth?

[jinx08]

A non boxing healer i expect! ^^

[magwo]

Yes, I'd like to consider this setup as a replacement for the classic 4x elemental shaman arena box.

[jinx08]

I'd like to see someone test this. Would be interesting to see how it pans out. Looks good on paper at least :)

By the way, is it possible to transfer a character from an inactive account, to another account, while also changing server? Without activating the account, of course.

Quoted from the page "" - Characters may not be transferred to or from a suspended, temporary or permanently disabled account.""

[magwo]

Is suspended the same as not currently inactive? Or is it rather a temporarily banned account?

[magwo]

I just tried and it is definitely possible. However I was unable to transfer the character due to it holding Guild Owner status... hmm, you think I will have to activate the account just to disband the guild?

SCROLL OF RESURRECTION INC! :D

SCROLL OF RESURRECTION INC! :DWhy do I have the feeling you have something up your sleeve?!! ;) :P

[magwo]

I have a 70 hunter on an old unused account, might transfer it to my current main account.

[jinx08]

I guess that would be helluva easier than levelling a fresh toon from level 1! :)

[magwo]

It's official! I transferred my hunter to my main account, and now levelling to 80.

To be quite honest, I fail to see how this could be worse than 4x shammies. :)
Sure it's more work in the boxing area, but for sure, the hunter brings TONS of utility that should make killing so much easier on the whole.


The best part is that I've played hunter a lot, even in arenas, so I will be boxing 2 classes that I know inimately.

its true you cant do anything to get characters off an account which has been perma banned but i think what magwo was asking if the account has expired can you transfer off that account and the answer is yes you can i did it at the beggining of the week now my new realm has the aq gates open (scarab lord death knight ftw) i wanted to transfer my shaman over to my current active accounts, i have 10 accounts only 6 are active atm, but had no problem transfering off a frozen account.
