Best PvP 5 Box Combo? Poll!

[Xzin]

I never used arcane missiles nor mindflay (being a fire/holy build) so this is actually new to me and quite helpful. Of course, the fact that it was added in 2.0, which was when I stopped playing for a while probably contributed to this as well

Totally digging this and /focus. Both of which are VERY helpful for multiboxers.

/focus is very handy. wowwiki has a nice page for conditionals and macros.. good thing to check when deciding how to make your macros..

I haven't checked any but most of the conditions can probably be prefixed with no for opposite check.

5 Shadow Priest would be interesting.

5x Blackout 20% stun x 5 = 100% stun

I know this is an old thread, but I just wanted to help with the math on 5 x Blackout. Instead of a %20 chance of stunning, think of it as an %80 chance of doing nothing. If one hit does nothing, the next hit gets its %80 chance. Each hit follows suit.

So for five hits, the math would be:

%80 x %80 X %80 x %80 x %80 = %32.7 chance of all five attacks doing nothing

= %67.3 chance to stun

Math ftw. Playing 4, blackout normally only procs about 40% of the time. Of course, that's 40% "per cast," so if I drop VT+VE+SW:P+MF, it damn near stuns every single pull. For non-elites, it is rare that they ever get to me just from dropping VT+VE+flay due to the combination of blackout procs and the slow effect of flay.

I voted for four mages and a priest, simply becasue of the massive ammounts of spec-comboes. You've got:

4xPompyro (meaning arcane+fire) mages + one holy/disc priest for massive AoE and burst damage.

4xFrost/elemental/frost+arcane mages + one holy/disc priest for massive CC and some epix damage

4xFire+arcane mages + one holy/disc priest for loads of burst damage and some half-decent CC.

Of course, you could always spec the priest shadow for a wee bit more damage, but the healing aspect really outdo the tiny DPS you'll be bothered to do anyways. Besides, post 2.3, holy mages have insane manaregen, thus making them even more efficient. I have one in my 2v2 team (warrior/priest) and the guy just never ever seem to OOM unless he chain-manaburns.

EDIT: Getting confused/deja vu too.... moved my post to the PvE poll here:http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums2/viewtopic.php?t=2160

For PvP I think I'd go for priest + 4x lock or priest and 4xmage.

In my opinion, I probably would not go with the shaman. I don't believe at 70 a shaman can be a primary healer.

In my opinion (sorry for digging this old post up), I probably would not go with commenting on the abilities of a class I know nothing about.

Shocks are instant cast with a 6 second global shock cooldown. Lightning bolt is the only spammable shaman spell.

Shaman are perfectly good primary healers. In 5 mans I earth shield the tank, lay a healing stream and some random buffing totems depending on my group makeup, and I melee with my healing mace. It can't get easier healing than that.

If you want flexible heals, including hots/direct heals/bubbles, go priest
If you want single target heals and excellent buffs, go paladin
If you want decent aoe heals and excellent buffs, go shaman
If you want excellent hots and decent single target heals, go druid

All 4 are very capable primary healers. Each has their own weaknesses. Choose whatever works best for your situation.
