I am in the process of installing/updating/subscribing to all the WoW stuff tonight, and gung-ho ready with my guides on how to set up the IS Boxer!

I am a lunatic about reading everything I can find about opinions on what the best will be in cat based on beta, and what is successful now, and of course I ask friends what they think.

I keep hearing from my friends that I don't dare try melee, it is way too hard for a 1st time multiboxer to do. I was going to go 5 ele sham, but after reading about cat I sort of lost my excitement, and was semi-interested in ret paladin. Would I have hell trying to pull off 5 ret paladins as a 1st time multiboxer? I don't want to spend all my time and effort just to reach my goal of 5 85's, and wish at that point that I had chosen paladin or feral druid, instead of ele sham because I was unnecessarily scared to do it.

What do you think? Should I start with 5 ele sham instead of melee? Or is it not a big deal? My end goal is 100% pvp with only necessary farming/questing/instancing for gear.
