Yargh! The Dread Pirates be created!

Hi all. My name is Blackbeard and have been reading this site since Nov 07. I just decided to make my own 5-man team since I finally have the computer to do it.

I am going with 5 Shamans for PvP.
Here is a picture of them right after they were created.

I will be posting periodic updates to this, as well as my blog.
My only real question so far is: How tough is running instances with 5x Shamans?

[Eteocles]

Depends on the instance; stoneclaw + earthbnd kiting will be your best friends, and later in outland, yer gonna be waiting on earth ele totem cooldowns a fair bit lol but it works well otherwise; also, I hope they're all Beards...Blackbeard, Bluebeard, Redbeard, Nobeard etc ;p I can't see the pic at work so yeah :p

Just want to add that Ive never needed to really kite anything, the front end damage you get from 5x shamans easily drops most targets before they become a problem and for ones that are a bigger problem a cluster of stoneclaw and searing or magma totems takes care of them long enough to get more focussed fire in there.

They are all beards except the one female char. (my wifes account)
I named her AnneBonny.

Kick Ass Pic !!! And I really like the names. However, Warning on playing your wifes account. I know that I have read from more than one person who has been burned on here for playing someone elses account. Even thier wifes. Just makes sure they all have same account info, player names, etc ... I would just hate for you to get your toons to 70 and then get banned from the game all together.

Here is one of the post I remmeber reading -

from DarkslayrX

"Had to kill my 5th acctThought I would share - I finally got a hold of Blizzard last night: Despite having all the account information be mine, except for the first name on the acct (I am talking last name, email address, credit card info, etc. all in my name), Blizzard would not make the change (telling us that account names - first and last - are set in stone). As I don't want to get all 5 accts banned, I cancelled the acct and will setup a new one tonight (I had already picked up a new copy of wow predicting that this will be the result as I know Blizzard takes the account name pretty seriously regardless of whether or not you are husband and wife).

For those that play on your wife's acct (even if everything matches except the first name), I would recommend that you bite the bullet now and cancel the acct and roll a new copy before you run into any problems. I know it sucks, even if it is really your acct, but in my opinion - not worth the risk.

Edit - and the worst part for me, this has really messed up the plan for my group as I am not sure I can roll the same toon again (a druid) and level them up. May have to rethink the group makeup."

The acct is in my name. She just plays it.
Thanks for the heads up though.

Heh, I saw that group and almost immediately thought of the tauren in deadmines. :P

Yeah, nice setup. Love the names and all. Had to chuckle at the reactions in the chat :D Always get someone watching/asking no matter where I am with my team, lol.
