I've thought long and hard about posting this, it's not an attempt to troll, it's just something that's been preying on my mind for some time and I thought I'd put it out there for discussion.

I feel that it takes less skill to multibox my 4 shaman in battlegrounds than it does to play solo in battlegrounds.

The shaman can just stand stock still plant some totems and blast away. I might need to ghostwolf to get out of AOE or to avoid a bladestorming warrior, but I can heal through an insane amount of damage whilst my magma totems burn someone trying to kill me. I've effectively got 4 times every wonderful ability a shaman has - which does a lot more than increase my ability to survive and kill by 4.

I see a lot of multibox pvp'ers saying how they one shotted someone. But at the back of my mind I'm thinking - No you actually 4-5 shotted someone just all at the same time.

I then compare that to playing any of the classes I play solo and I feel I require a greater level of skill to survive and do well.

Then I think about it in another way - The reason i feel I am more skilled as a solo player, is because I'm generally not getting the support that the shaman have. I can't rely on getting healed so I have to be more survival focused, picking targets taking them out and relying more on CC etc to try and even odds. i may even need to avoid certain classes depending on what class I'm playing. When I do get in a group that runs together and that is healing then I notice that the skill level that I need drops and I can just stand there and pump out damage.

So, when I think of it that way multiboxing is like running with a good group all the time. And I know that battlegrounds are about never being in a fair fight.

I guess to remove my doubts I should pick one of my shaman and play it solo for a while, until I'm happy with the level I can play an ele shaman solo (I've played enhancement solo and was happy with the way I played that). This would remove any of my self doubts and i would be able to multibox without the awful feeling of being a pvp fraud (on the shaman anyway)

Does anyone else have these doubts when it comes to multiboxing and pvp?

Should I just shut my mouth and enjoy the ownage regardless?
