Back to Boxing?

[Althanear]

So I used to multibox 5 accounts in Cata usually for fun stuff like low lvl RBS's with 5 mages or 5 Locks. Then I got into running 5 man's on my own with 4 shammys and a pally or 4 dk's and a shammy. I ended up stopping around a month after DS release and never got a full group to 85.

So now im looking at getting back into it after 18 months of 9 boxing with eve online.

I want to run a 3 man team and am looking at either DK's for shammys for both PvP and PvE. Any suggestions? I;d love RAF bonuses again but i cant afford to start another 2 accounts and get the expacs again.

I will be rerolling on a new server so I will not be able to continue from my masses of lvl 70 toons on my other server. I do have access to Scroll of Reserection for all my accounts so I can bring 1 toon to lvl 80 across to my new server to start out for both of the accounts i bring back.

I have 4 toons with full banks of heirloom gear with few weapons but most of everything else.

Any ideas/advice for getting back into it?

Also person with best advice will get the rewards for resurrecting 1 of my accounts when i go ahead with it after payday.

Try rift instead? Same feel as wow but free and with actual spec customization that is a blast.

edit: also you like to do battlegrounds and that's not permitted in wow anymore.

Battlegrounds are still permitted in WoW. Arena and World PVP still allows /follow and you can still IWT your way around in normal BGs, which should be just fine for DKs or Shamans.

As far as getting back into it, I'm not sure what kind of advice can be offered. There's not really much mechanics-wise that's changed for starting out a team. Except "phasing" has become more obnoxious with the addition of Cross Realm Zones.

You'll want to make sure you're set up for assist + Interact with Target for quests and looting {WoW has AOE looting now, which makes looting quest items easier}. Jamba has had a few nice additions since you last played, such as Advanced Loot, which will help.

Both DKs and Shamans are still fun to play and seem to do well in both PvP and PvE, though just about any combination can successfully do the new Scenarios.

They went nuts with daily quests in MoP, so before you get into any of that, I'd suggest looking at what you'll actually need before starting to work on rep. They also introduced Grand Commendations which you can get for MoP Factions at Revered, so you may want to just do dailies on your chosen factions on your main {or skip the obnoxious collection ones on your slaves} until you get the main to revered and then buy the commendation. Then all of your accounts will get the boost and you'll have fewer headaches with it. This will work for all of your toons as long as they're on the same BattleNet, so repping up will be faster on alts after your first team. You'll also want to note that Exalted rep doesn't really provide anything vital. Exalted will get you cosmetic stuff - pets, mounts. You only need to get to Revered for gear now.
