is 4x the shaman still as good as 5x the shaman?

I can only afford 4 accounts i cant afford 5 :( so how is 4x the shamans? is it any good? Thanks!

Depends what you are up for?

PVE? Then I would say go for the 5X Shammy or Prot Pally and 4X Shammy...Take your pick. You can run your own 5 man dungeons and grind is hell of easy.

PVP? Arena? For Arena I would say 4XShammy but for Bg's 5X Shammy is fine. For Wintergrasp 5X Shammy would be fine as well

if no one wants to group with you than 5 is better. but i think you gain something by having a real person controlling a melee/tank class up front.

You just can't make a complete party by yourself. It's fine for quests, battlegrounds, arena with partner, whatever. Spec one resto and make friends with a tank, and you're back doing 5-man dungeons (and with fewer things to concentrate on). It is what it is. Plenty of people only do 2, 3, or 4 accounts. Hell, if you had to max out to be any good, only Prepared and Sam would get to have any fun. Do what you want, can, and enjoy - it's a hobby. :D
