Five accounts RAF linked - Help with strategy

[Nate101pvp]

What's up guys? I'm going to kind of bullet point my issues, and see if one of you compile information different/better than I do, because I'm having a hard time coming up with a good solution.

-I just linked my 5 WoW accounts together in time for the good pricing sale.

-My girlfriend wants to play with me. This is a good and bad thing. Good because it'll be fun. Bad because I can't 5 box if she occupies one slot.

-She won't play 100% of the time I will. So if I spend time leveling for example 4 shamans and she's the paladin healer (on my 5 accounts), then when she doesn't play I will be only 4 boxing, or I'll need to find another healer.

-I love the idea of controlling 5 high DPS units and having those LOL moments slaughtering unsuspecting players or groups of players (chain lightning x 5 makes me smile when I watch it on youtube)

If you can see, I'm not sure what to do. If I let her occupy my 5th slot, then I'm stuck with 4 multibox and her on the 5th account healing, which can be good I know. But, I won't be able to have my 5 elemental shamans when I play alone, which is depressing.

I was thinking about leveling a lot of characters to 60 while I have RAF enabled. I could level my 4 shamans and her paladin to 60, and have a 2nd group of like 5 boomkin for when I solo. But I don't think I will enjoy 5 boomkin as much as I would 5 elemental shaman... I really have no idea what to do, haha.

If anyone cares enough to read this and see if a good solution sticks out, that would be awesome.

If it was me I would get 5 accounts for myself and one for her. As it sounds like you know already it is pretty good to have someone else heal while you dps in pvp (4 + 1). The 5th account for yourself would allow you to 5 box when you want and also allow you to have more possibilities to substitute into your team. This is very beneficial if you start to do mixed teams where you might not have all of the different toons you want on every account (some people level a few groups of 5 of all the same type and then get tired of it so start to mix it up so they may not have all of the different character types on every account).

Probably as ILikeTwins suggests.

RAF your five accounts.
You can have her account RAF linked to one of the accounts that you won't drop when she joins.

Then you can run PvE content without her.
Have the healer type on the account you will drop.
Or the tank type.

Have DPS or hybrids who can DPS & Heal on the four accounts that aren't dropped.



For example:
a: Paladin
b/c/d/e: Shaman

That's a solid PvE team.
And you can drop your Pally, and go with hers for PvP.
