is five boxing pointless atm?

I said four random players - I suppose a glad could fall into that group, though most often not.

With four toons you can burst before they can use defensive cooldowns.

Do you think a multiboxing group of three is typically stronger than three random players in a BG?

Previously I would of agreed that most thought random BGs where just a stepping stone to other parts of the game. However, after my thread asking when peeps stop farming av for honor it became clear that in reality most multiboxers stop at random BGs, and many times only play 40 mans.

I don't know about most, maybe... Depending on your comp and comfort level you may go into smaller BGs once you have the gear. Most of my time is spent doing either small BGs or world pvp (which I mix in with dallies). I rarely if ever do 40 mans anymore, just isn't fun to me. There are a lot of 10 boxers who stick to 40 mans simply because smaller BGs aren't really a viable option. At the moment 4-5 DKs with or without healer feels almost as good as 4x ret + DK did in wrath and you can definitely do 10 mans once you have gear.

Only ones I have a problem with are AB and SotA. In AB people have a habit of trying to zerg with me and not defending bases I cap, or try to help me kill instead of capping the flag while I deal with endless respawns from the nearby GY or people running in to AOE. SotA I don't like due to being split up on offense and with how easy it is to be kited and/or stuck in combat so far away from the actual objectives on the game. No matter how quickly you farm and kill them you often just get stuck on the beach or somewhere you shouldn't be.
