Best battleground for multiboxing (several teams)

[Mosg2]

I don't think you're going to see BG premades in the same way you see competitive arena teams currently. I think you're just going to have a rating on how well you do in each BG. This has a big impact on what teams could be considered viable and which not.

I suppose if you can queue as a raid, or just as a group, will also have a large impact then.

I think the most likely path for Blizzard in this case is just to give you a personal rating in each BG and continue limiting group que sizes to 5 people. Any other system is going to be ridiculously difficult to manage from a player standpoint--With 7-8 BG's at Cataclysm's launch the competitive teams are only going to focus on one or two of them.

This is a strong possibility

Not at all. The competitive teams will play all of them and they'll play the ones with the fastest queue adjusted for particular bg rewards. They'll fluctuate between the 10 and 15 man bg's as they have more people. Have 10? queue for WSG. With 15 they queue for EotS, AB, SotA. With 20 they'll double queue for WSG, etc...

Sure, they'll have their favorites, but that will likely be based more on who's logged in that night and how it affects the group composition. In the old school grind when we were going for Warlord, we would run whatever came up first.

I think a lot depends on how large your multibox teams are. Personally, I always prefer to take 4 into BGs instead of 5 (unless it's AV).

I'd say that you'd be better off splitting the 15 people you get into 3 teams of 4-boxers and 1 tri-box team. The tri-boxer can be a roamer on maps like AB to effectively put 7 characters at a node, for example. I think EOTS will be a great rated BG as a boxer, simply because it's always been a nice map for a boxing group. I think it's easier to bottle up the enemy and 4-cap EOTS than it is to get a 5-cap AB victory (against premades).

Taking 3 5-box teams into any of the 15 person BGs will probably be much harder than four slightly smaller teams, in my opinion!

One think you guys havnt discussed is, wich BG's will be avalabe to ONE boxer + solo friend? (Know the thread isnt about it but still, do you think even WSG could be boxed with only one 4-5 Boxer?

You can do everything with a quadboxer, you just need a good team for it for WSG or AB. It's important that you're not getting followed around by noobs but everyone do what they can to add something. So for AB your healer shouldn't always be following you, since he can be more usefull at other points aswell.

(you should win vs 2 or 3 players without your healer, so he isn't needed and can be usefull somewhere else for example.)
