Want to start all over again, is it worth it?

The age of the Ranged Caster is over... Let the age of the melee striker begin!

I just dont get it! Wake up people!! Destro/demo locks! They are the most tanky caster out there, + have tons of self- and instant heals. You get port, aoe fear, tons of pets, and insane burst. Coupled up with a good holy paladin you can get 1800-2000 easy!

Has anyone actually done it? Are there videos or any sort of proof anywhere?

I love that game.

Nikita's locks are only 88, so unless he's aware of another boxer tearing it up in arena with locks, it's weakly in the theorycrafting land.

You can check 5v5 arena ratings and filter by team comp, and check each battlegroup:
http://us.battle.net/wow/en/pvp/arena/bloodlust/5v5

Warlocks: zero teams of any rating.
Shaman (elemental or enhance): A lot of them, none over 1400, majority of games are losses.
DKs: A lot, none over 1500. Most or all under 50% win rate.

You can check EU realms as well if you want. There are a couple outliers but, honestly if you are coming back to multiboxing with the goal of glory in the dead 5v5 bracket, that time is probably over.

Actually, in general:

Actually there may be some substance to Warlocks.
I know in bg's, morphing and doing the AoE spam 1 lock was able to do some serious serious damage on my characters and it happened twice in the bg.
If I recall though they require a bit of ramp up time which in the arena world is difficult to obtain.

Writing this on my iphone, early in the morning. So grammar aint the best.

Most of the pvp oriented multiboxers in this community are theorycrafters! Ellay, the ramp up time aint much, really. Locks would survive the opening burst waves alot easier then ele shamans, and like you said, 8 x chaos wave + use trinket, grimoire of sacrifice (25 % more dmg). We are talking about hits well above 80k+, if not more. Chaos wave is instant, and on a 10 sec CD if Im not mistaken. Which means you can kill someone everytime your trinket is up!

Basicly, run out and put corruption up on all 5 targets, ranged aoe stun if needed, curse of the elements on all 5 ( 5% inc magic dmg taken), health stone, uneding resolve (40 % reduced dmg taken), and by the time that is done, you can start bursting.

Just like my hunters back in s9, I'll prove that locks work in 5v5, even better then shamans and DKs

My locks are level 83,5. They will be rdy before next season just need to cap JP and HP before the season starts

I'm not hating on it, just giving my opinion on what I think is the reality of its viability outside of the ascendance highlight reels people are posting.

I have played enhancement. I have also played in BGs and wpvp with one boxer playing enhancement the other playing a different comp. That's is a lot of what shaped my opinions on it.

Indeed.
Enhance have the best burst for multiboxers in game, the best utilities, poor heals (will be slightly better in 5.2) and very bad sustained damage. Even with ~490 u will not be able to compete >1800

The community has a lot of respect for old school pvp multiboxers like you, and when you make bold claims like this, people are going to take it seriously.

Most of the pvp oriented multiboxers in this community are theorycrafters!

Including you, unless I'm mistaken:

Your highest achievement bnet wide is High Five: 1750, and highest ever rating 1939 back in cataclysm when shaman were overpowered.I don't mean this as disrespect, but when you come in here with all theorycraft and lead people to believe you've taken <insert new comp here> to a respectable rating, it may very well motivate a lot of people to roll that comp and find themselves extremely disappointed when they get into 5v5s and see the reality of MoP PVP and 5v5s in general.

I just don't want people to waste their time chasing a dream, you have to manage expectations or you won't enjoy your multiboxing experience at all.
