Getting back in the saddle, what class is best? 2s/3s

[eyecheatyoulose]

I used to multibox a while back. I'm thinking of getting back into it next week. Before creating toons that I will later not like I'd like some feedback. I mainly BG but want to Arena a bit for some gear/weapons etc. I have been soloing a while and ele shammy/Hunter is the most used for pvp. Shamans seem to be the most popular for multi, but I'm only going 2 maybe 3. I really have a blast with my hunter, Shammy is stressful at melee range so IDK. Any advice?

Well, the more toons you play the more of an impact you can have.
If you're playing 3 toons max, then you'll have two other characters - most likely two other players with you in arena.

For BG's anything will work.
For Arena, one role is far easier then two.
And 3 of the same class is going to be the easiest to play at close to max potential.

If you like the hunter, build your team around him.
Three hunters could work well.

Scatter shot and assorted traps on round robin.
Concussive shot also on round robin.
Three pets in someone's face.
A lot of ranged shots, death from ranged.

Shamans are casters with great burst.
They have heals for support.
The totems bring a lot of buffs and fear protection.
They wear mail armor and have shields.
They're not the only option, but have a lot of strengths.

Food for thought. Thanks for the good feedback. Hunters are more of a fun class for me, and you're right, it's 3 of everything, triple traps/pets/ranged dots, etc. Sounds good. Thanks.

im just wondering about the potentional of 3 hunters compared to 4 hunters.. like when u play 4 shamiies in arenas.. ALL THE TIME u get them to 2% and they come back up or u just kill them, with 3, personally you may defeat the purpose of the burst wtfboooooom damage, because u might get them down to 25% before the healers notice they need to bop them and heal away...

i dunno though never tried 3 in 5's ;0

Why can't he do 3v3?

Generally, playing 4 dps in 5's, with a dedicated healer has been more successful for boxers.
Playing all 3 in a 3's is definitely an option.

Nothing saying you cannot do both.
