5 Chars Dungeon Powerleveling Multibox

[flou]

Hi,
Relatively new to multiboxing... running a 5 man team in retail for 2 months now waiting for classic.

I want to main a Rogue.
Do you think warrior/rogue/mage/warlock/priest would be viable for dungeon leveling and later dungeon farming?
Maybe druid tank would be better?

I am not sure if should go alliance or horde... in retail i am alliance!

Any suggestions are appreciated

I have no confirmation on all of this, happy to be wrong.

You're correct. Pyroclasm has a chance to proc when the spell is cast. It's the same for mind flay. Blackout only procs on the initial cast, not on every tick of the channel.

Intensity is quite good though. Especially while you're grinding low-mid range dungeons and using hellfire a lot.

What have you been running in retail? From what I understand mixing a melee/ranged group is a lot harder than 1 melee/4 ranged or 4 melee/1 ranged. Personally I'm going to attempt Druid Tank (main at 60), 2 mages, 1 lock and a priest on horde. If I was alliance I'd swap a mage for sPriest and get a paladin healer.

I'm not sure if it will play out easily but time-wise I struggle to group with others so I want to give multiboxing a try. Currently in RFC on Retail trying out macros/group composition.

I would use a druid instead of warrior, then you can dualbox druid+rogue and in open world stuff you can lead with rogue and have druid be a caster so you only have 1 melee 4 casters for easier control although not as easy as entire group of range or melee. (if you don't lead from rogue you most likely won't be able to use stealth/openers, although it will be hard to use it, rogue is not multiboxing friendly imo)

Otherwise rogue+4 druids for some fun world pvp and trying to do things with stealth, but means only 2 classes and I think it won't be as effective to do dungeons and hots doesn't stack so a lot of hard casting and need to manage movement so you don't stop the hardcasted heals with IWT or follow (although you can rotate who heals to make your mana last really long and 4 innervate).

2 teams in retail:
- 5 bm hunters
- blood dk/3 bm hunters/resto druid

Probably rogue would fit better in a melee cleave, but the utility that comes from mages/locks will be missed I think!

I have done a lot of vanilla multiboxing, I find the team that can complete any 5 man content easily is this make up,
Prot warrior, holy priest, shadowbolt (destro) lock, mage brand doesn't matter much, but arcane/frost build is excellent, ele shaman,
Here are the main reasons, 1 shaman totems are extremely multibox friendly! The poison and disease cleansing is op! tremor! Windfury,grounding ect, its really also its nice to have a backup healer if you back it up with chain heal if taking heavy damage!
With this group you can cleanse all debuffs, you have most of the raid buffs, the best tank excellent cc, double healer if needed ! Warlock can fear if you need it banish use the succy, u can even use the voidwalker if you need to have something else tanked situational. very versatile group make up, rotations aren't that hard to get undercontrol, Aoe is strong, you can use holy nova on priest, arcane explode on mage, hellfire on lock, drop magma on shaman and have him chain heal the warlocks hellfire its absolutely It all works together excellently on the same key!
If you use a shadow bolt casting lock, they all basically have the same rotations. you also have very reliable interrupts, you have 3 and warrior and shaman's is very short and reliable, You have portals totown, summons back, health rocks, food/water vendor, 2 wipe recovery's I find this the most reliable and best 5 man pve team available! Running this group it has tons of utility and you can do anything 5 man no trouble. I've even done ubrs 5 man with this set up as they got some decent gear,
Disadvantages maybe its a little more advanced play style however with a little practice its not hard, Sometimes at lower gear level the shaman has mana issues, but as time goes on and you stack some mp5 that goes away, they actually are on par and sometimes much more dps once mana isn't a issue but what they bring way outweighs that of another class, espec when your healer is cced, Only one that even has to run back is the warlock, but if you level a 20 lock for summons, you can overcome that by summoning your lvl 20 and summoning back your other lock. if anyone has a better set up then that id be interested to know but i doubt it.

My first/ main team will be very similar. However, going with a druid tank instead of warrior and I want to try it with disc priest to PI mage.

im thinking ill try

1 warrior
1 holy priest
3 shadow priests

Might consider changing 1 shadow priest for a mage so i can portal around easier
