This was a reson why 3 boxing works just fine for me.
with 3 am winning a good 70% of my games on random bg's.

I gave up on my team like the first two weeks into MoP. I don't like the direction PvE went in and the lore in MoP ranks among the worst I've seen yet in Warcraft.
I only play one character now (my warrior) and purely PvP. I haven't done a single raid or dungeon instance since this expansion began. I've been pondering resubbing a second account just to world farm herbs and sell pots. That bugger made about 6k in gold for flasking/potting up his herbs he got for leveling. Seems much more lucrative than blacksmithing =/
I won't call 5 boxing dead. But I don't think it justifies the money we pay and the time we spent. Assuming you played 5 boxing in previous expansions, now it is the time to slim down. BG , 3 is a decent size. Big enough to make an impact on the outcome of the game. Small enough so there is no Rage since they won't notice you.
Speak for yourself. I'm paying for 10 and the moment and I have no problem justifying it. A bar tab where I live, for one night, costs more than 10 boxing.Quote:

just with five in pvp unless i stay to av-ioc (thats fun but gets boring fast) i car't seem to pull the wight off my group i can find a good group can cc me a lot of the time.
sorry maybe i posted the topic title wrong it is more from a PVP point off view. i can not see going 5v5 arena or ten man bg's where i can win a nulf games to cap out my conquest points. and with the 3 man dungons its seems easyer if i wonnted to play a bit off pve i can them 3 man dungeons are not as easy as u think they be with all dps.
And forgot to say i can play a class i wont to play not a class i have to play to be half good in a bg. and with blizzard still going on about nulfing the hell into burst its just getting worse.
I couldn't be happier with PvE. I've been able to do every heroic, but they are hard enough that I can still get wiped if I'm not careful. Questing was far more interesting than Cata's 1-3 quests at a time. I'm not big on lore, but at least I know something's going on, even if I still don't care. Like I said in my blog, I've already played this expansion far longer than I played Cata, so that's a win in my book. Though I'm kinda bummed because if it sucked, I could easily quit and go work on my book or something instead, lol.Quote:

PvE: same things as before except now you also get challenge modes. There are now more options, not less.
PvP: same as before with teams of four blowing peeps up allowing for a solo healer or rolling with 5. Same options as before the expansion, it's just that DKs may not be as good.
If the true question is can DKs do as much as they could in Cata, then maybe they can't. However, in general this expansion is better for five boxers, not worse.
The nerf hammer threat will always be there - can't build a team while being afraid of it unless something is stupidly overpowered from a solo players point of view. Roll enhancement - they carry their weight. I'm not afraid of any random BG now and I know that if we lose it's very likely because the rest of the team didn't do their job. When they do, easy wins. I capped conquest last week off pure randoms, will do the same next week. In the Jan 1 week I will have PvP weapons at which time it will be as close to god mode as you can get (at least it will with any healing support).Quote:

Yup. I went from 5 to 3 over a year ago and it has been nothing but a better overall exp in pvp. Mop has brought scenarios and again the lfr, you can do just as much with 3 as 4-5 minus heroics by yourself pve wise.Quote:

Drinking the koolaid is a bit strong. We all play to the play style we enjoy (or finances allow). If someone has more fun 3 boxing or 17 boxing, more power to them. However, 5-boxing is far from dead and could easily be considered a better experience in this expansion compared to Cata.
