So, i've been looking through the forum a bit since i'm considering returning to multiboxing. I'm not sure which quad team to play at the moment, so i am hoping someone would help me figure it out. I've got every class at 85 atm, so i'm not new to any of 'em and i have got extensive PvP experience and PvE on all but a few.
In terms of PvE, i don't care much for doing instances once i hit 85 - but as a means of leveling i've always enjoyed doing instances more than questing. This puts me in a bit of a dilemma of course, because i'm loathed to build a setup for this pupose alone since my interest in instance grinding is close to nill once i hit 85 and i'm able to do PvP. I don't plan on raiding either as a boxer, at least not at the moment. So it's purely for PvP purpose in the long run.
I would like to be able to set up a 3v3 team alone if need be and i would like to be able to run 5v5 with a friend healer and possibly 3v3 aswell with a friend if i get bored doing it alone or want a change of pace.
I used to tri box ele shamans a bit in TBC and i found it alot of fun but i'm unsure as to how they do now in 5v5 with healer + quad ele. Anyone actually playing 5v5 as quad ele atm ? Krush ? Nikita ? I think you both used to play quad ele atleast, so i'd like your input as to the state of 'em currently.
I reckon 3v3 as tri ele is probably going to blow, so this would be a bit of a drawback if i went for this setup and i don't see bringing a healer and doing double ele to be any better either.
As to quad DK. It seems most favor this comp at the moment(?). I've gotten 2300 on my solo DK in 3v3 so i'm not new to DK. I can see quad dk + healer being very efficient in 5v5, especially since you can rush the enemy, while as ele you tend to sit and wait for them to come out, giving them plenty of time to setup up tatics and targets for CC. I don't fancy sitting in a 5v5 match for 5 minutes behind a pillar because the enemy doesn't want to engage - ive tried that plenty in 3v3 before against spell cleaves and it gets old real quick. Maybe i am wrong about the quad ele being that way, if so enlighten me.
If i were to go with a melee boxed team, would it be better to go with tri dk and one ret or quad dk. I can see quad dk might be better in 5v5 since you get more AoE damage, one more DG and i've been thinking that the speed boost on judgement could be a problem with autofollow ? Plus it seems to me that ret would be the best char to drive from, but since they are vulnerable to fear i can see that to be a problem. I am thinking bot tri dk and double dk + ret could do reasonably well boxed in 3v3 - and i like the idea of that. Although i would probably focus more on 5v5, depending on queues etc.
Anyways, i've rambled long enough. Someone with experience as quad dk in arena and/or quad ele please enlighten me. How do each of the comps stand at the moment both in 5v5 and 3v3. Also, lets say you are playing quad dk + pala healer and you run into another equally skilled and geared quad ele in 5v5, who would win ?
Thanks in advance,
