with the new format in the wotl shaman totems work raid wide. so thats 25 wrath, 24 healing stream and 25 grounding totems.
so having +75% hit and crit with spells is just WOW! 25 grounding totems would make you immune to most ranged damage maybe from some world bosses o0o0o
all that extra crit will help tons for lack of gear in the beginning.

Well no one thought Kara could be solo, but Nixi proved us all wrong.
And that is only from the totems... You can easily get 25% crit on your toon too.Quote:

You don't really think ToW will stack raid wide, do you?Quote:

ya they will. thats why tranq totem got yanked
I'm sure even if it goes live like this, it will be nerfed in the future. Otherwise future raids will be 80% shamans(all raid members having 100% crit :D )
I bet you would crash the zone with 100 totems, lmao!Quote:

The money isn't going to be cheap :( you looking at $375 a month (that's $4,500 a year) if you do the 6 months at a time ($13 a month per copy) is $325 a month ($3,900 a year). If you really want to do this i would say get the 6 months you save $600 a year. Don't forget to refer a friend... lol you could get 2 years on 1 account for free. Well don't forget about the 1 time cost to buy all the copies you need 50 copies at $20 (that is the wow and bc) which is $1,000. Then you need the new expansion... that is 25 copies at $40 each that is another $1,000.
What i just released that i have to buy 5 copies of the new expansion, that is $200... shit the wife is going to be sooooooooooo pissed at me.
lol i can see the raid leaders now. "K, the max number of totems we can use before we cash the server is 30... what 30 would be the best"Quote:

As people before me has said: WoW.. :) Just the thought of this is impressive, and definitely something I would love to see.
However, as others also have pointed out, you would not be able to gain anything from grouping your team as a 25man, as wow works on a first tag gets XP basis, but also reduces that XP based on how many other sources applies damage to that target, so if you run into an area with your 25 ungrouped toons, the first one to hit one of the mobs in the area, will get XP from it, but it will be reduced based on the amount of other toons that hit the same target with their spells.
To my experience, if you rule out 5 man instances, the most efficient way of levelling in WoW is a combination of quests and grinding (which is often part of the quests), and while in a 25 man raid group, you will not get XP (or extremely reduced XP), you will not be able to complete quest objectives (if the quest says "kill X amount of Y mob", you can kill 200 times that, and not a single kill will be registered, unless the quest you're doing is marked as a "raid" quest), loot quest items etc etc.
In addition to that, is all the grief you'll be getting from wow players for multiboxing.. It is legal, and it is approved by blizzard, but the opposition is still strong:

Are examples of this, and these are only/mainly talking about 5 man groups, so I can't even begin to imagine how people would react to a 25 man boxed group.
Again, as others have said before me, start off with levelling 1 character only, choose either a class that you find interresting, or use these forums to help you choose one, and play it to say lvl 35 (that gives you a mount at lvl 30, and allows you to experience both some of the grind, as well as some of the different areas and obstacles you meet in the game.)
As for choice of multiboxing class, well.. the opinions on that are many. Personally I chose the warlock, as it has it's own personal tank (demon), as well as great spellpower. But others favour the shamans for their healing ability along with their increased level of armor over a caster. That is a choice I don't think anyone can make for you, but something you should try out yourself, by experimenting on some solo levelling with the different classes first, and the escalating to maybe a 5box team after that.
Good luck, and keep us updated, I'd really love to see this in action. :)
