How Far Can You Go With 5Box PVP?

[Boxcarwilli]

I wanted to have started by now, but, delays delays. The good thing is I now have the $$ for the 5box PVP setup. However, I'm now deciding that I want to go the PVP route.

So, how far can one take PVP? Could 4 mages and a priest (undead on Magtheridon) finish first in the realm for 5v5 or even futher in the ladders? Battlegrounds seem like a non issue as Xzin already proved that. Anyways, if you have experience here with PVP 5box let me know your thoughts.

Thanks!

I'd say no. You can probably get a 1800+ rated team if you are *damn* good and able to target multiple people quickly and effectively. Balanced groups with decent PvP'ers will tear you to shreds though.

Battlegrounds (as in Xzin's case) yes, arena, no.

Getting to 2k with great players and a good make up is hard enough, that is an impossible feat for 1 person.

I was figuring all this. Just wondered if anyone tried. BG's are easy to take advantage of.

I am currently destroying the low end of Arena's at the moment with my 4 Shamans that are gearing up. I'd say with my current gear I could get 1800, and with maxed out arena gear probably 2k.

Although granted I'm only playing 4 and I have a healer running with me, 2k is possibly you just have to have the gear and right class combo to make it happen.

if anyone can get 2k by themselves, ill give them an eCookie. Cause I dont think its possible

Oh oh, looks like boxer mighy owe Ellay an eCookie. Whats your team name Ellay?

So Ellay, from your experience what would be a optimal class combo 5box for Arenas? Seems to a Priest and 4 mages or 4 locks or 4 shammys.

Guess not Boxcarwilli, but im sure Ellay is good at it.
I still stand with what I said about the difficulty: for 5 people micromanaging one character each, 2000+ rating is a very difficult task.

Not to mention hes not by himself.

DOH!..............sorry

I would find a 2000+ by a single 5 boxer to be quite, quite difficult. Impossible? No. But it would be quite hard to accomplish without the right gear, an arena team specifically designed for arenas (probably Shammys) and plenty of practice on how to deal with EVERY combination.

My arena experience remains limited but once you start to get to actual geared and premade teams... the difficulty goes up and the PQ (pally quotient) rapidly approaches 2. Which means they can out heal your AoE blasts (if you are 4 mages 1 priest) and then it is game over. It doesn't take mana to hack you to bits.
