Well... I did it...

[Xaedra]

My husband is out buying 2 more battlechests as we speak to upgrade my 3box to a 5box. Damn you guys! I can't wait.

Unfortunately, I have a baby shower to go to tonight, BUT tonight, yes, later tonight, I will be playing my new 5 box team. w00t!

The triplets (3x locks) will probably be "benched" until I can figure out a use for them, but I am pondering a 5 box setup now, I can't decide between:

(1) Paladin, Priest, Mage x 3
(2) Paladin, Shaman x 4
(3) Shaman x 5

I am PVE only. I have never been a big fan of PVP. Vyndree says I should try the first combo, since it's more PVE friendly, as I won't be able to do heroics with the shaman groups unless I have the PVP gear. However, 5 Shaman just look bad ass, and doesn't take as many different keybindings to setup. I just can't decide!

Decisions, Decisions....

[Boom]

Look.... If you know me at all, you know where I'm going with this...

First off, GRATS!

Second, Boom is notorious for his love of Female Gnome Warlocks on the Argent Dawn forums, so the Bipity, Bopity & Boó thing goes a long way for me. HOWEVER....


as long as you're re-rolling...


Xaedra For Horde!
(you know you want to)

[Xaedra]

You have no idea how much I want to. I actually have a level 70 Blood Elf Priest Horde side on AD

Unfortunately, my husband has two level 65 (Lock and Hunter) characters on Alliance side, and he wanted to play them again, so here I am... playing Alliance.

I prefer horde on AD honestly, and I miss them. They were always 100x nicer than the Alliance.

Maybe thats why I want to 5box. I'd much rather play with myself (get your minds out of the gutters, guys) than PUG with 99% of the Alliance.

/sigh

I recently ditched my 1pally 4shaman team the other day and made 1pally 2lock 2priest. I don't have a mage in my new setup because I wanted an additional offtank for my paladin (void), while the other lock uses an imp for blood pact. I wanted two priests because I can either have two shadow priests with their stacking buffs which does wonders for my paladin, or one shadow priest and one healing priest.

So I didn't want to sacrifice a priest or lock just to add one mage. The only service the mage would provide is portals, sheep, and AI buff. Big whoop! Plus I get two soulstones, and 3 rezzers.

But they are only level 10 now, so this is all theorycraft and cannot be proven until about level 50ish.

The thing I did not like about my shamans were the totems....I just always hated dealing with totems, plus they were too cliche...lol.

So I vote for option 1!

5 druids is also pretty cool too. I have 5 druids on a PVE server for days I don't want to deal with Pvp, or in case Magtheridon goes down.

You're not kidding...

I logged into Argent dawn at 2am the day WoW came out, right as AD came online. I've never left. My first two 60s were Alliance. I was an officer in a few guilds, and a GL at one point. I finally got fed up with the players on Alliance side, and decided to start over on Horde. This was due mainly from my interaction with the Horde PvPers (back during the HWL grind) in ventrilo. They were all adults! I was shocked.

That's when I created Boom, and eventually For Horde. I'll never go back to alliance. I love the AD Horde family. Amazing people.

I think it's time your husband re-rolled.

Good luck with your new team!

I assume when you are playing this setup your goal lies in PvE and so in Heroics some day? If so I would assume that you will get destroyed easily by all mobs there witout any CC and the void walker isn't quite a good replacement for that but tbh I never played much heroics before so I could be wrong here, the Idea itself is pretty good. I would rather play something like this:
1 tankadin / 1 healer (priest would be good I assume) / 1 warlock to be the shadow whore (main DD) / 1 shadow priest for even more shadow damage and mana regen and finally 1 mage for CC only, water and all that stuff is just a nice give-away.

Not sure though if that would work in any way.

if you want max raid dps id go for:

4x firemages 1x lock



if its instnacing id go for:

1x tankandin 1x shaman(healing and the totems to buff the oters + chain heal) 3x firemages

I cant agree here, yes, the extra stam from pvp gear does help, but with pve gear comes greater DPS (in the long run). My guys have only got 3 bits of gladiator gear each, the rest is crafted/drops/rep stuff, and I'm getting stuck into heroics no problem. I say go for it if this is what you'd like to do. Make them all LW, go for the Netherstrike set (and the blue crafted gear from Kurenai rep) and you are good to go on heroics. I spent money getting my palla tank geared up, but pvp gear doesn't help much for him either (except perhaps a Main hand weapon). If you learn to tank ok, you can avoid getting dmg on the shammies, so HP isn't so important. For bosses that AOE or whatever, there's always chain heal and healing streams.

Are they all Shaman or is one a Pally?



Nice choice. I am also re-rolling 4 Shaman to create a Pally / 4 Shaman team. Pally for instancing, and just use the 4 Shaman in PvP. As much as they are the flavour of the year, cant really argue with their synergy or playstyle as being top dog for multiboxing.
