Solo or Multibox in Expansion?

[Bigfish]

I plan to box 20 character in 2 teams of 10, one of each class/combination. DKs are going to be mess things up a bit. Maybe. They'll probably keep the kill xp from pushing my characters in to leveling too fast to see all the new low level quests I want to see.

The only real question for me is if I'm going to have the time to do it and the inclination to dump 400$ on expansions. And probably upgrade some hardware in there too.

Boxing from day one. Using 4.0.1 to fine tune my CC stuff I've been building in ISboxer

& The abiilty to have each person with CC pick and mark a CC target
& The ability to choose which CC each slot will be using for that pull and toggle between their differnet types
& Slot in my setup for earthquake and healing rain
& Reconfigure optimal totems.
& Cut down my addons as much as possible to get a clean setup ready for questing and learning new dungeons.

Then I'm going to work out if I want a DK Tank/Paladin Tank or Druid Tank as I have an 70 of each and I'm happy to grind out badges to finish their tanking gear. I will 95% stick with the Paladin as he is my main but I dont really like the Holy Power changes, we will see how long it takes to get used to it.

Very excited.

Still undecided. I have a few conflicting interests.
Factors:
- what will be the sys req. to box 5x cata at reasonable settings? i do not intend to buy yet another bunch of new parts
- how well will cata run on linux, and what changes will be needed, if any?
- this will be my first expansion, so totally not sure what waiting times, server issues, bugs are going to be like, or how annoying the phasing is going to be
- how easy/hard are the instances going to be? will it be worth to box pve for me?

Personal:
- i have more and more interest to go all out on hardcore raiding with my shaman, not much time left to box properly, so scaling down is an option
- i really like the comfort boxing gives me, afking in a dungeon and not having to deal with idiots
- i'm really looking forward to boxing the rated bg's, with my 2 teams, 5x shaman + 1 disc priest / 4 dk
- my favorite toons are spread among different accounts, transferring toons over is not an option for me
- my professions are spread among the accounts, that is a huge benefit as a boxer, not sure if i want to lose the money making factor

I do intend to keep 5 boxing, though it will be more a side project like it has been in the past few months. And probably with the focus on pvp.

I never used /click ... IsBoxer macros ftw.

Ill be 36 boxing on day one although I doubt I will buy all the expansions early and wait a bit for the price to fall (maybe even a battlechest with wotlk and 0-70 raf, can hope).

[zenga]

You gonna be 80 before expansion hits btw?

[Sam DeathWalker]

Doubt it .... I got one 80 and my mages are 76 (7 of them) been working on getting blast wave into the rotation and redoing all the click bars ... and filling up rested. Still one more level and its to the tables at IC and get the phatest aoe exp in the game.

http://cata.wowhead.com/spell=2948#comments seems going to be very powerfull and talented and glyphed it costs ZERO mana, and you can cast while running, but still 1.5 seconds cast. Hopefully 22 of those will take out any oppenent. Plus if I can polymorph like 10 oppenents (/targetenemy on some and /targetenemy 1 on others) I can kill them one by one.

Ill also be dropping 15 of my shaman (level 48/49) and make mages instead. Not sure if RAF or not, depends on the new battlechest.

Mage: 22 (fire)
Shaman: 7 (resto)
Pal: 2 (prot)
Warlock: 2 (not sure) for RoS
Priest: 1 (not sure) for Fear Ward and PoMending
Rogue: 1 (assan) for stealth targeting and see other rogues
DK: 1 (combo) for death grip and chains of ice and amz and ams

Unless something abysmal and unforgivable happens, I'll still be multiboxing. My husband wants to play so that's 2 accounts anyway, so I may as well throw 3 more into the mix. I still don't foresee it being any worse than any other expansion.

[glo]

I'm sure I will stop boxing long enough to level one character to the cap, then start leveling a 5 man group. I did that in the past in order to be able to participate in all the new end game content and also have a high level character with some gear to protect my lower levels.

I wouldn't quest while boxing right after an expansion, you will get stuck dealing with all the casuals who have nothing better to do then mess with a boxer all night.

[Iceorbz]

Eh, I'm not to worried about the macro stuff. I played for the longest time without using click so i can function again. It just won't be as easy mindless spam as Im used to =p.

Plus if I can polymorph like 10 oppenents (/targetenemy on some and /targetenemy 1 on others) I can kill them one by one.

Don't even waste your time with this lol.
