Hello guys,

I used to play 5 shamans on Jaedenar but i only play one now these days and raid with them. Simple because arena is a failure, i cant do heroics with 5 shamans so i rather play one.

I am thinking of playing a 5 classes team. I really want to go for PvE this time, instead of pvp. I would love to gear up my characters as i also make progress in heroics. I still got one month raf on the accounts im using. So leveling would be quick.

Is it really worth the effort to go multiboxing again? Or should i just stick with one character.

Thanks in advanced,

Totemic
I had the same thing happening. I first multiboxed 4 shamans, then added a (warrior) tank, then a dedicated (priest) healer. This made WoW life a bit more varied and interesting. At 80, heroics were a big fail. Now I realize that this was because I wasn't experienced with the heroics(1) and it costed a lot of repairs to get this experience and also because my gear sucked(2).

I then started soloing my warrior, priest and sometimes a shaman DPS in the guild and with PUGs. This made me resolve problem 1, because I got to do all the heroics and most of them multiple times. I now know how to resolve most of them and multiboxing should be very doable in quite a few of them.

Gearing was a problem, especially because I had 3 shamans. That meant I'd gear them up 3x slower than the other classes. Yesterday I started multiboxing again. I created 3 new accounts to benefit from RAF and created a new team with 5 different classes. I picked the classes in such a way that there is no gear sharing: a druid tank, shaman dps, mage dps(and portals! :D), hunter dps, paladin healer. Besides the more squishy mage, this setup is very viable for PvE and PvP.
The only 'bad' side of managing 5 classes is that you have to do all class specific quests separately, which means that you have to run around Azeroth A LOT. Anyway, it's been a lot of fun to level this new team :) (I'm at level 12 now)

My former multibox team approach was: "Use the 5 characters' skills as good as possible", which resulted in a HUGE amount of buttons used (with modifiers). The new team goes for fun and simplicity: 2 DPS buttons(regular and AoE), 1 tank button, 1 healing button per character and some crowd-control/buff buttons.

[edit] A friend of mine is also levelling a multiclass team on Burning Blade EU(Horde side), you should join us there in the guild "The Edamned". It's a small guild with mature people and no expectations besides having fun with us whenever you feel like.
