3s vs 5s

[Fat Tire]

I would stick with 3 unless you really enjoy 5v5 or heroic 5 mans. Rewards are going away for 5v5 in WoD as trial of the gladiator is 3v3/RBG only so 5v5 will be regulated to what 2v2 status is now i.e. just for capping points/grinding gear and 2v2 is so much easier atm not to mention 5s is more expensive. They are still discussing removing ladders from the current system in WoD so ladders(rating) would be 3v3/RBG only and only from totg.

Who knows how boxing 3s will play out in WoD. Right now its really tough with all the aoe cc/low defensive cds, however they have said that they want to remove some cc so that would help boxers. With the hit point pools/stats going back to BC style who knows how it will eventually play out. In 3v3 I did really well in Woltk/Cata as dk/ret/ret, but in mop I generally get my ass kicked. So I play dk/holy in 2s which is still good to cap and can be fun, but now I mostly enjoy old content/achiv hunting with my wife in mop until pvp/stat changes happen in WoD.

On the occasional days where I feel like running a few random bgs, I go in with my dk/ret/ret (mammoth mount) and I still destroy the other side. I also believe in having an alliance team and horde team to switch between, keeps things fresh.

If youre on the fence I would say try them out for a month as see.
