Stopped 5 boxing. Thinking of beginning again!

[Negativ1337]

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

Why not just use your druids to make a bear, tree and 3 x owls?

Or just 1 bear, 1 resto sham, and 3 ele?

or just one bear with four boomkins.

or 5 bear tanks! XD lol

but ya, you could go with a bear tank, 3xele shaman 1xresto; 1x bear tank, 3x boomkin 1x resto druid; or if 1 account has wotlk you could go with a dk tank and any combination of druid/shamy dps/heals. if none of them do then with 1 month of RAF left you could PL up a pally tank in no time flat. just some food for thought.

As others suggest, swap one of your druids to feral for one of the shaman.

Setup one of the shaman as resto (or not) and you've got your pve team.

Alternatively level up a mixed class group - then if you give up multiboxing you have any number of classes to play on to relieve boredom.

Yeah, BUT

Then when an elemental item/boomkin item drop, i have 4 characters to need on it. With 5 different classes you have:

Healing cloth for priest
Spelldamage leather for druid
Tank shit for paladin
Spelldamage cloth for mage
spelldamage mail for shaman.

And they would all look different.

Plus i also leveled up as 1 prot paladin and 4 elemental shaman so i know how that works out.

With the patch tomorrow, pvp will actually get ALOT better, what makes arena unbalanced now is the damn retarded 2vs2 crap.

Sure there are some specs that dont work but most classes got a way now and rogue/mage/druid get a well deserved nerf tomorrow.

Im leveling my death knight,rogue,hunter,priest,warlock in one team and its certainly not easy to figure out a high effective dps rotation that doenst make you go oom in seconds. (I would never bring my rogue if it wasnt for the fact that the hunter/priest already were 60 and joined the DK, at 70 i picked up my rogue/lock)

A easy setup should be possible thought.

Like:

Prot Paladin,elemental shaman,boomkin druid,mage,priest.

CC's: Hex,poly,shackle.

Cant say it was hard to balance the gear on my shamans even with different drops since i always gave the upgrades to the weakest shaman.

Please tell me you will use this group composition, it's what I believe to be the strongest. You get every major buff and debuff.

I have that group setup, except swap the boomkin for a lock. It was a very tough choice for me to make. Boomkin has a better buff (lock just buffs stam with the imp), but the lock is better at debuffing the enemy (aka Curse of Elements). The lock is handy for the other utility he has, like soulstone and summoning.

That said, if I had to start all over again, I'd still agonize over the trade-offs before I picked one.
