I guess it depends upon what your aim is ? :)

I know this, but it could be fun to endlessly grind to 70 with 10 characters :PQuote:

Grinding to 70 on mobs? XP is hugely reduced in groups of that size, your call but honesly you'll be doing it for weeks if not months of /played , doesn't sound like fun to me tbh ;)
2 Ele shams
2 shadow priests
2 warlocks
1 pally tank
1 holy priest(aoe heal spam ftw?)
2 uhh...whatever you would like...more shams for the quick dps?
For instances better to have 2 tanks in total, at least 3 classes capable of being healers for end-game, rest as ranged dps. A mage would be handy for some extra CC and portals/food/water. 2 SP and 2 locks is a good call for dps, work well togetherQuote:

1 paly or priest healer
2 shamis for totems and added dps, also able to spec healers...
For pvp? 2 combos of 1+4, such as 1 pali 4 shami or 1 priest 4 locks, something along those lines. 10 shami would be pretty sick, 10xCL will pretty much tear up any medium sized group in no time.
Levelling them will still be the biggest challenge ;)
10 of almost any caster class would be unstoppable in pvp, especially shamans, spriests or warlocks even I might post a QQ thread on the oboards if I got rolled by a 10man like that lol. As for pve
atleast 2 tanks, id go with either paladins or druids (likely paladins) for healers I would have to go with priests or resto shamans. atleast 2 shamans for their totems would be huge buffs to party and for CC+DPS mages/locks so hmm lets break it down
2 paladins (tank)
3 priest or 2 priest+1 shaman for healing
1-2 shamans (elemental) for dps
2 mages (would likely go fire for stronger dps)
2 warlocks for CC and dps
and maybe one spriest to round out the warlocks for dps.
3 healers are not a requirement at all but having 3 healers for 10man content turns it towards the trivial side of things and with the inherent difficulty of 10 boxing this safety net is something you will want.
Still cant imagine how painful leveling those up in a 10man group is going to be, you would have to grind on normal mobs and would taking a major exp hit for being in a raid.
If you're just talking kara, I'd think 8 Ele shammy, 1 Pally tank, and 1 Druid tank would rock. Yeah you don't have any CC, but every toon is pretty sturdy (provided you don't gear out in cloth/leather for stats) and zomg the totems! Plus you have 8 reincarnates so.... plenty of tries without having to run back. Then you get the nice cross buffs from Pally and Druid, battle rez if you're just that cool, etc.
10 Shammy, 8 Mages, 2 Priests, 8 Warlocks, 2 Priests or 2 Priests, 4 Mages 4 Warlocks are what I would do.
AV is your best bet..... and with 10 v 1, you gib people. So think AoE.
Heh, hardcore.
I'd agree here. However, it would also depend on what you will be doing more of.Quote:

If you're doing ABs or WSGs, then I don't think mages would cut it. I would go with 8 warlocks. You get more "Drive by" dps, and you can tap + circle of healing and probably not have to stop to cast and/or drink, ever.
I don't think shamans mix well with either mages or warlocks, because a lot of their DPS comes from focus fire, requireing you to stop and cast. That is, of course, you are good at macromanaging two groups.
4mages/4warlocks would be doable, I hope you have room on your x-keys.
Just rambling some thoughts on the subject I guess.
-S
Now I'm not normally the one to be the douche in the situation, but I think you need a serious reality check
You want 10 lvl 70 characters to do what exactly? PVP?
Be prepared to be seirously dissapointed. I mean the height of your career is going to be spawn camping at AV just arcane explosioning everyone to death instantly. Thats ABOUT it....
Kara with one person? Very difficult to impossible. Too much individual movement. Me and vyn think we can do SOME fights with 2 people controlling 10 characters... but just think about the fights, doing it all at once is going to be very difficult.
Areans? Ya no 10 man
WSG? You can zerg offesne, then hunt flag and cap, but you're going to get rolled by anyone who knows how to /fear.
AB? lol silly?
EOTS? ^^
AV? Spawn camping would be your best. Just wait for the rez wave, blast nova * 10, + ae * 10. Even if you get feared, they're already dead.
Seems like a waste IMO for 150$ a month, + 10-15k in hardware?
/shrug. Just saying you should probably THINK THROUGH THE ENTIRE THING before you just run off and go:
ZOMG I'M GOING TO 10 BOX!!!
;) anyways, hope all the best if you do, and post videos, we all love videos.
I mostly agree with Suvega.
Personally, I think you should do a fair bit of five boxing first. Not only would it make 10 boxing that much easier to get the hang of, but you may realize that 5 is plenty.
I have actually done it.

Is what it is like to 10 box AV.
And it is INSANE.
Whoa.
Whoah is putting it mildly...
Anyway to get a hires version of that video?
jesus xzin.. please tell me you have a high res one on filefront or something. And I love the people just following you around going 'omg' or 'wow' lol
I was undead and they did fear bomb me. But it only hit 5 guys :) And I had WOTF.
Nothing super higher rez, I realtime encoded it.... but Youtube makes it look like crap.
8 Seed Of Corupption.
Fuck me.
I say go shammy x5 XD
Negative 8 Boomkin and 2 Resto Druids
ZOMG!
albeit it a gibbing fun time in AV... (nice vids xzin :P)
Thats about the top of your game with 10 characters...
So, again my point is, ARE YOU SURE ITS WORTH IT TO YOU?
It was to me :)
But I freely admit how off the wall and out there it is.
Forget doing WSG or any other BG. In AV though.........
10 boxing ideal is certainly worth a try. We are all about exploring and trying out new things ain't we. I would kill for the sight of 10 shamans laying totems. On the flip side, if it doesn't work out, sell the other 5 to me as I am dying to reroll a 5 shaman team :) .
But that wasn't all lvl 70 characters that you leveled, and took an exorbarant amount of time to do...Quote:
