I'm starting to think about which classes I'd like to choose for my 5box setup (is it still called 5box if I'm only using 2 systems for 5 toons? <--total n00b question sorry).

I would love to run any 5-man instances and possibly even arena as I've seen others do. Most of the videos I've seen so far show 5 shamans in a group. Would I be able to do just as well and level as fast with one of the following setups?


  • 1 Druid/Pally + 4 Shamans
  • 1 Druid/Pally + 3 Shamans + 1 Lock
  • 1 Druid/Pally + 2 Shamans + 2 Locks

My goal is to totally kick ass and take on anything. Having 5 of the same characters is a neat effect that I like. But I also like to have some character variation. But then again, I already have a 70 Priest, 70 Pally, and mid 60's Warrior and Mage. Heck maybe I should just do 5 Shamans.
