is five boxing pointless atm?

[ebony]

Five boxing is more viable today than it was pre expansion if for no other reason than challenge modes. I've argued a few times the taking five into a BG is too much (excluding the 40 mans where it doesn't matter). However, 4 seems to be a good balance and I use the fifth to queue dodge. Through queue dodging I can very regularly get AV or IOC which helps me cap conquest for the week (still takes a while but very doable). Once you have gear 4 can truly contribute to all BGs, even 10 mans. At the moment I feel that if we lose a BG it's not necessarily my fault - once I get PvP weapons I know it won't be my fault.

If PvE is your thing than 5 boxing is better than 3 or 4. If PvP is your thing like me, then I still like having the fifth account, though I only BG with four. 3 boxing loses a lot of advantages that come with multiboxing while still suffering from the same disadvantages. With that said, 3 boxing with best gear in PvP will probably still wreak havoc.

i can not see doing challenge modes i can not really see doing HC's to be fair. the blue gear u get from hc you can get with day quests/3 man dungons.

to do a challenge mode you going to need a mixed or a good group anyway and to be fair my friends list is kinda strong (would i like to do them? hell ya! but i can not do hc's to well) and it would not be hard to find a healer/tank for it. i was thinking about a 4/5th but from my playing today am doing very strong in every game i play even not winning theres not many games i fail on.

as for 4 boxing i don't see the point i feel ill lose out on to much with that extra one.

saying that the only games am failing on is ofc when the other side is a pemade and even then my deathkights in cata used to fail. if there in good gear. and working as a group better. i win or i lose bad with 3.

and to be fair i got 2 places i can bring friends with me. But been in all kinda bg's today and to be fair not much QQ from the other side. won 8/2 games saying with five i was losing 8/2 (anything form av-wsg) i can still about burst down a target.

i work so i don't have a killer lot off time to raid/dungeons (a 2nd mixed group) and still doing them all and pvp its just to much and this cloud be why am stating to hate wow. i do miss av games where five chars would be stronger then only 3 but theres only two bg's in the hole game like this. saying that i just find all my five chars get locked down anyway. (but now we can not que at the same time to play with ten or other pemades to nuke players has ended)


thanks for the stuff i did miss on though.
