is five boxing pointless atm?

[Fat Tire]

With 4-5 toons you have significant burst. With 3 toons that advantage is less while you still have the issue of controlling multiple toons. If your argument is that a 3 boxer plus two solo players is better than a competent 5 boxer, then I'm indifferent. If you think 4 random solo players (not bots) are better than a competent 4 boxer then I disagree. If you're arguing that a three boxer is better than three solo players then I hugely disagree. In other words, 4 toons give you enough focused power to outweigh the many disadvantages of boxing. Three boxing doesn't give you enough and often just being there is a harm to the BG - they would have been better off with three solo players.

With all that said, if one of your three toons is a healer then I switch my stance. A three boxer that has 2 dps and 1 healer may be more helpful than three random players, but that's mostly because the odds are fairly low that one of those random players would be a healer.

Its really hard to make a non rambling argument on an iPhone - sorry

I could burst one player down with 3 just as easily as 4-5, so I fail to see the point of using extra accounts as overkill. However, most decent players(non random) will use their defensive's or cc anyways to negate the burst.

If you think 4 random solo players (not bots) are better than a competent 4 boxer then I disagree.

Seriously? I think you need to have variables in that statement. What if there 4 solo glad pvpers? There are too many variables in random bgs to determine if having 4-5 is better than 3. No one will convince me otherwise. Not really sure why anyone would argue about if 4-5 is better than 3 in random bgs, when most players look at randoms as part of the journey and not end game.

I was stating that anyone can achieve everything a 4-5 man can do with only 3, including in both pvp and pve and I stated some of the perks associated with only playing three.
