Too many teams??

[Shaden]

My RAF recently expired and for the past three months, I've been a machine, totally focused on getting as many teams as I could to 60 before the expiration date. My ultimate goal was to squeeze as much as I could out of RAF and NEVER have to play a newbie team ever again, or at least for a very very VERY long time, when the goodness of 3x xp is a distant memory.

The quad box teams I ended up with:

Server 1:

Horde: Paly Shaman Shaman Druid
Alliance: Druid X 4

Server 2:

Horde: Warlock X3 Priest

Alliance: Shaman X 4
Paly Mage Mage Druid
Gifted 1 - 60 Warrior and Warlock

Server 3:

Horde: Paly Shaman Shaman Druid
Rogue Mage Mage Priest
Gifted Paly and Hunter alts to 60

So, now I'm faced with a conundrum I didn't see coming - I have too many options! I don't know which darn team I want to start with first as my main. For three months I had a lot of focus and but that is no more. And also I face the task of leveling up all their professions that I had neglected in favor of leveling speed, something I'm not all that looking forward to. And the combinations of those professions, etc! Yeesh!

Any advice? On first team choice and professions? Bear in mind that I have yet to really get into Outlands and instancing so from what I've read on the forums, going with a Paladin + ShamanX3 team may best way to go?

I'm not sure how you could not foresee this. As it seems like an obvious issue with RAFing up so many teams...

Which team you level up depends largely on your goals. If you just want to PvP, I would suggest the all druid or all shammy teams. IF you want to run instances, I would recomment the Pally, Shamx2 Druid team, and try to find a healer that will run with you regularly.

Why did you make them on different servers?

Why did you make them on different servers?

I was wondering this myself.

But you don't have a "problem". One of our guild members has WAY more alts leveled up than you do! :P

Hindsight it seems an obvious issue but it just never occurred to me, I guess I assumed a favorite would arise naturally in the bunch. However, they were all fun in their own ways, so that didn't really happen. My husband gave me an exasperated look when I mentioned my predicament to him, he too was unsure how that hadn't occurred to me before now. Oh well. But then, he thinks I'm wacko for doing this in first place. :wacko:

Thanks for the input! I'm purely PVE so I think I will go with with the pally/shaman(2)/druid team. Not sure how possible it will be to get a regular healer to run with me though, everyone I know are playing death knights right now.

The reason for the different servers are names, basically. I had some names of old characters that I liked and deleted to use for multiboxing.

Heehee, good to know. Long time affliction of Alt-itis is what lead to me having so many names saved up on different servers but at least it all worked out in the end.

It's too bad they aren't on the same server so you could more easily sub in different characters.

Well since you are PVE oriented then I would take that suggestion from above, use the Pally/Shaman/Druid team. I leveled 3 teams in the end as well but ended up taking the Pally/shaman team beyond 70, Pally is 73 now and shaman are 71, I really like the pally tank. But as of late I have been running 2 alts the Doomkin and the Mage. These 2 are now 64 and I run it with Pally tank 73 and Shaman 71 and they work really well together, just like you I run a quad team. I took the team to Ramps, BF, SP, Underbog and had a blast with them, so right now I am wondering if I should take the druid and mage up to 70 take them to northrend and make it my mix main team or not, I am like the only one in the guild that is no where near 80 which I think is making my guild leader not like me much as my other Pally was always a main healer for the guild.

I think you will have fun and enjoy the Pally/Shaman/Druid teams a lot, seems that the Druid does bring quite a bit to the group. Well hope you can make up your mind and enjoy the game its what its all about.

If all your friends are DK it might make sense for your to spec your Pally healing and find a regular DK tank.

I 5 box, but I find it much easire to box tanking + dps or healing + dps. Tanking + healingis much harder.

I still don't get why people do this... Getting a bunch of teams up to 60 in 3 months, meanwhile some of us have gotten 1-2 teams to 80 in the same amount of time, now we're doing fun end game stuff, running instances, perfecting our team, and those who chose to make a bunch of teams are just hitting outland and wondering which team to level.

It then goes full circle and that same person starts leveling a team to 70, then realizes they want to use a different team and starts leveling that team to 70. Then at 70 the same thing happens going to 80. By the time you guys get to 80 the NEXT expansion will be out and we'll all be leveling to 90

Just sayin'...

Yeah, I thought about going all out and getting mulitple groups up. But once i got to 60 with my shamans and pally all i could see was 70 at the time. So i kept levelling them. then noticed that my RAF was almost expired. I think all i levelled with RAF were my main team which i play all the time and have a blast with, And a warrior that i had levelled a long time ago to 30 that i gifted to 60. (i have yet to actually play him since).

I just couldnt see the point in doing it all again when im having enough fun with the group i wanted in the first place.

Keep in mind that i was playing solo for 2 years before this and had levelled every class to at least 60 except for a druid and priest. I just cant stand levelling in the old world basically...

some of us have "level-itis" or "alt-itis" where we get one team to max level and can't help but start another. I know my paladin, 4 shaman team is starting to lose its luster right now, lol.
