The ultimate 5 for PVP (Multiboxing)

[shaeman]

Just for fun.

If you were building a 5 box team for PVP (bg's and arena) what 5 characters would you pick? Would you pick 5 of the same class, or would you mix it up a bit?

For example I would love to run with 5 locks for pvp (BG's), I would probably spec all of them affliction - I would just tab target round and multi dot the enemy (x5). Siphon life would be healing. I can also think of having five sets of ihot (on a roundrobin). 5 sets of shadowburn for a big damage hit. The emergency deathcoil either on a round robin basis or thrown as a big bunch of damage off an enemy. Even 5 sets of drain life would do big damage. Also random nightfall procs releasing instant shadow bolts would be good too. alternatively I would try running with 5 felguard spec. 5 sets of seed of corruption on choke points (I love SoC on one, imagine the numbers from 5 coordinated :D )

Arena's Im fairly clueless on so will wait to read what others would do.

5 Boomkins, easy choice :D

1 (5) shoot everyone :D

Don't do 5 of the same unless all 5 can heal. You live MUCH longer if one or more can heal.

4 shammys + pally/priest/druid is what I would do if you want to do arenas.

5 Resto specced Druids.

Piss your enemy off by slowly walking into their AV-base, continously hotting yourself with 4 stacks of lifebloom.

Although that'd be well fun for a night or two. I doubt that's worth leveling to 70 too. :P

I agree with Xzin really.

For bg's you have some more options. 4x hunters + 1x healer. Or 4x mages + 1xhealer. But if you're really serious about PvP, you need to be able to counter the multiboxer weaknesses the best possible.

Anti-fear skills is a must. If you don't have them, you won't succeed in arena ever. Really. :p 4x shaman + healer that way has 4x tremor totems, staggered. Undead mages might work to some point, but still, IB, WotF, you're still limited to cd's. So it is still hard in arena. As soon as people find out you're beatable on the third fear. They'll just abuse that and win every time. :p

So, in case of arena, I'd say elemental shaman. In case of bg's. Any high dps + healer combo at ranged really.

Has anyone tried Boomkins in BG's. I've been thinking of getting 4x up to level 39 (where the druid travel form owns the most) and trying it out. However what i am worried about is that kiting while boxing might be very difficult. The hots and stealth and speed of the group seams amazing though in this bracket...

Truth be told i just need a distraction from my level 62 shammies which i cant bear to play right now ;)

5 x Smite Priests in Healing gear. :)
