Yeah there has been a lot of discussion on shammies being a great mutlibox group, but I couldn't find much dicussing the merits of having a paly vs straight sham set up.

To answer your question - a mix of both PvP & PvE but probably leaning more towards PvP. I understand that if I wanted to go hardcore PvP (Arena's) that 4-boxing plus one is a much better solution. But I prefer to solo play and for me it will be more like 10 Arena matches a week, some BG's for welfare epix, world PvP for shits n giggles, and PvE the rest for gold & faction griding.

If Xbox's videos are anything to go by, 5 shams can defitnely do heroics for badge farming. Admittedly his shams are geared well, but I can get the gear from BG's (is this what you mean by high end PvE?).

Perhaps my question should have been - What do pallies bring to the table in terms of PvP? And if you spec them fpr PvP, how effective are they at tanking? Or conversely, if you spec them for tanking, are they still viable in PvP.

Cheers,
