5 multiboxed shaman in arena viable?

[TheBigBB]

Most people run a 4 shaman team + healer buddy in arena to be successful. Would there be a huge issue to just have a 5th multiboxed shaman instead? Couldn't you fake out the opponent by making it totally unclear who the healer is from the outset? You could set the macros up so that one of the shaman is resto and just does some chain heals whenever the others use DPS. Thoughts? I'm not saying this would be completely ideal, but would it have a shot at ranking well? Could 5 shaman do what Aellie has done with 4?

I'm sure it could be done... but you probably wouldnt get nearly as good as just focusing on dpsing instead of worrying about healing. Anyone that can master both would be very fun to watch though.

I play with 5 Shaman Arena. We have a lot of Shaman-Multiboxers in our realmpool. With my guildmate (another 4/1-MBoxer) we have the highest teamrating for multiboxers on my rp.
The good thing: more burst damage, the bad thing: lack of healing / you dont have an extra player who prevents the opponent from drinking and rezzing
You have to play extremly watchful.
All my Shaman are full ele, none of them is resto.

The reason is: i gave up to find a good healer for my team who is conversant in playing arena with a mb.
