How to multibox Wintergrasp?

[Ryan]

For those of us on small pop servers that can actually play Wintergrasp without the lag issues, how exactly do we do that? I haven't really tried it that much because of the vehicle involvement. I really hate vehicles while multiboxing. Is there effective and helpful things we can do without vehicles or is there some way to use a vehicle? And the server I'm on has a huge population imbalance, so my side (Alliance) is usually heavily outnumbered, so I'd like to be able to do something constructive that will help us win as well as help me get honor.

personally, with my 5 boomkin, i like to stealth near a wall and either blow up turrets (if i'm on offense) or get behind tanks and kill them (on D). Not a lot of people can solo tanks and turrets, and it really helps your side a lot. also it's easy to cap the workshops when you have 5 toons there. And then there's the epic battles on the steps of the hold, those are always fun...

on offense i have no stragety personally, only done wintergrasp a few times on mostly defense...
But on defense i hide right inside a wall below the stairs to get to the turrents, and i drop my totem farm and nuke the crap outta everyone that comes in,

it's freakin awesome! man i'm at work now and i got the itch to do wintergrasp, i might hit my neighbor to get some pvp goin.

Offense I usually killl cannons and just kill stuff until the perma lag starts. Then I just watch the screen as I warp around unable to do anything. Defense I usually kill a few people until the perma lag starts. Then I just watch the screen as I warp around unable to do anything.

There are some advantages, but there's some disadvantages as well. "Hmmm, we have 19 Alliance in this wintergrasp. Someone go hop on the Horde vent and see what they have." "Well, the /who list caps at 49, so we're not really sure."

Who was your characters on magtheridon? Does that new server have pug raids constanlty?

I usually start pug WG raids on my server so i have control of the groups from the start. We usually end up with two full raids on our side during the daytime. Every comment I have had within WG raids, with regards to my multiboxing, has actually been very positive and I'm well known for running the pugs now.

My tactic is to focus on destroying vehicles, which is pretty darn easy with four ele shamans and four TS. At other times I tend to hold back and play an intense support role, looking after the gung-ho characters who dive into mobs of alliance with tenacity. Surviving against (and killing) single opponents with tenacity is actually pretty easy if you turtle tank with chain heal and knock them down slowly.

When you are defending, you can lurk on the corner towers, get off a few FS + LB and then hide before any caster can cast on you or death knight DG you. Hiding just inside the choke points created by the destroyed walls is also a great tactic as the opposition tend to run right past you as you are casting 4 x chain lightning on their asses

When the poop hits the fan, popping blood lust and seeing it buff 40 people in your midst is a sure way to cause some carnage!

I don't spend a lot of time in Dalaran, however I have been invited to Naxx raids before. I've done a couple Vault/OS/Naxx raids (havent won shit ;( ) and the only thing I fear is nubs that quit if you wipe once. Seriously one raid entered OS and wiped on the 5th pull or so (due to a roamer add) and it fell apart. So dumb. Anyways I was Pestilence, Famine, Death, War and Conquest on Magtheridon and I do believe I talked to you in guild chat. Is that guy with pepper names still playing? Something like Greenpepper, Redpepper, Yellow etc.

i have not seen the peppers in awhile.
