Alright, I'm in.

Started 5-boxing a couple weeks ago, finally got around to registering on this site (though I've been trolling a while). Got 5 accounts and running with a pally, priest, and 3 mages... all blood elves. The silence ability is $$$ when macro'd into /castsequence, makes AoE pulling the casters cake.

So far I'm @ lvl 29, been just doing instances and gearing my BElfs in Blues to show off. End-goal is to 5-man heroics and gear up with drops/badges. Will get some pics up as soon as able. Thanks all for these forums, makings 5-boxing even sweeter knowing there's a forum to resolve any issues that pop up along the journey.

I recently started 5 boxing- had been doing 4 (in order to team with a friend). Paladin and 4x Priests. :) I'm hoping to do both instances and be a force to be reckoned with in PvP. We'll see how it works out! VE & VT ftw!
Let me know how your combo works out- sounds pretty cool.

Would it be worth it to spec the paladin to Sanctity Aura and let the priests be Disc/Holy DPS'ers?

I was thinking about doing something similar, because I'm really trying to think of a good Tank/DPS team consisting of 2 classes that doesn't include shamans. If the priests aren't confined to shadow form, they can sorta be versitle like a shaman, healing and dpsing without needing to change a bunch of stuff around (equipment, stances, etc.).

I'm thinking the healing from Vamp. Embrace will be sorely missed. Your Paladin will also take more damage if you spec him that far into Retribution, so overall I think its a lose/lose trade. IE. you trade in damage done, damage "resisted" and passive healing while getting ??? in return. Bigger "proper" heals and not having to shift out of shadow form?

Shadow Priests looks very tempting, I'm gonna have to start up a group one of these days :)
