Alt-itis has got me already.. 5 x Warlocks.

if only wow would go freetoplay like pretty much every other mmo out there! bam! 10chars, done. In fact, id probably invest in some new hardware and go to 25.. may as well

Careful what you wish for. If they go F2P, they may just ban multiboxing more than two characters for non-subbed accounts.

Not to derail the thread too much, this is really my biggest concern if/when the game offers an actual F2P model that can "impact" others. My suggestion to Blizzard would be to disable the /follow command on all accounts which do not have an active subscription, or they can easily expect people to abuse the shit out of multiboxing. I'm sure we're still okay for now since I'm sure they do like the millions of people paying X amount of dollars each month instead of a F2P model.

hadnt thought of it like that.
I officially retract my wish.

ok 5 x feral druids L100 and almost rdy to go.. as with my paladins, i somehow i managed to get to 100 without getting them all above i595 - i think its cos i use xp pots.

Cant wait to get started with the cats!
Balance was best for levelling but by god its dull.

Will be interested to see your thoughts on which class is easiest to go through dungeons with (assuming equalish gear scores).

BTW, do you have active garrisons and followers running on all these toons? That's a stupid simple way to gear them up once they are rolling, but I am thinking I'd shoot myself before I got all of those garrisons set up.

Easiest... hmm.. i dunno really, i suppose it used to be any 'healer-tank-3dps' but i havent run a team like that for years and nowadays with all the movement and also the healing nerf id imagine even that is a bit trickier.
I only run 5x samechar thesedays: paladins were easier than warlocks. I think 5cats is going to be tricky (no tank).
edit: 4dks+priest was my most successful wotlk team. Plus 5 hunters was good even then, should be better now by all accounts.

As for garrisons - i cant stand them. i dont do anything with them other than make dps pots. And im saddened by the way you can get good gear from them just from a boring grind. i avoid the apex crystals gear too.
Im not interested in gearing up tbh, i would be if it were possible to get really good gear from dungeons, but seeing as even quest drops (i got an ilvl632 chest yesterday) can be better than heroic dungeon drops i have lost all interest.

Garrisons are, IMO, hugely worthwhile. My caster group and hunter group are almost all at 625+ average gear levels with several 650+ pieces and they haven't set foot in anything but Slag Mines and Skyreach normals (I'm working on achievements on the 5x Prot Paladin group at the moment). The paladins are also 615+ now and I've yet to set foot in a single WoD dungeon with them.

It gets to 615+ pretty quick, and yes it's a lot of work up front. Once your followers are up to epic level mostly and you have several of them at 645+, good gear starts dropping frequently.

And the flood of greens from large crates is nifty, too.

Thats fair enough, it depends what your multiboxing goals are?
If you want to gear up as fast as possible so you can raid then i totally agree that garrisons and apex crystals are the path of least resistance by far.

But for me i box for the fun of doing instances with my team, my spec, my tactics and as low ilvl as possible, so obviously getting a 5 man team at 630+ without having set foot in the instances is the antithesis of my goals.

The cats are great... for trash.
as expected i suppose.
But the lack of a tank is a problem when facing bosses.
as expected i suppose
Get caught by a boss crit and some splash damage and its one dead kitty.

The healing is great:
rejuv x 5,
insta heals after finishers - plus the finisher itself heals for 7.5% hp
also duplicate self heal when healing another

and so long as they are alive i can top them all off pretty quick and while moving (this was the reason behind this team)

but there's no healing a dead cat :/

so i may have to have a bear in the mix for those harder hitting bosses.. which makes me feel all dirty, and it wasnt the plan so it feels like failure.
However, I will see how much content i can manage with 5 cats.

It's only a failure if the boss doesn't die.. even if all 5 of mine were dead I dont care so long as the boss is too Nothing wrong with a little adaptation.. it's already more difficult as a boxer.

I was thinking of x4 Boomkin with a Hunter.. I have a Boomkin druid already at 100 and I love playing her.

oh hell yeh nothing wrong with a few deaths, many a time ive only had one guy left when the boss finally drops. worse is when the boss has about 2k health left when your last man drops ! thats happened several times

The cats are hard. Trying to spread my hots during energy downtime, and work in other stuff to keep whoever has aggro alive.
A taunt in cat form would be heaven: The ret paladins worked cos they had a taunt so at least i could control who was taking the majority of the damage, so thats a bummer for the cats.

ive been spoiled by the warlocks - just letting the voids handle the tanking was bliss, all i had to do was dps and move (despite blizzards best efforts to make casters less mobile!)

maybe i will go back to the locks.
i love dots.
The most fun i ever had in an mmo was playing a bonedancer in DAoC when they were new! dots and a personal army of healers! so OP in battlegrounds
