I am right now using x3 shammy and x2 shammy. My system is not strong enough to handle a x5 box and i am learning some of the ropes with less toons anyway. I plan to go x5 in the next month or so when i am set up.

I am considering using hunters as well with one priest or healer. My concern with the hunters is how to manage and control melee running in to put an end to your fun. I am thinking also in terms of pvp.

Right now i play a 44 hunter in the 49 bracket and do very, very well. He will go 49 but i am waiting on some mara runs. Using all my cc and movement is key to dealing with rogues, warriors and shammy. Some druids are tuff and know how to play but not many i have met yet. I am not sure how i would manage this kind of movement with x3, x4, or x5 toons just on follow.

What do you multi-boxing hunters do for melee? I know focus fire them coming in, but then what if one or two or three get in?

Some thoughts are:
1. With so many hunters you could lay freezing and frost traps. If they trinket out of an ice trap they will get hit with another one. If you have improved wing clip with many hunters spamming it on you will get a root in no time. Trouble is if it is just one toon you can melee them down as well.

If you have multiple melee run in what does the hunter team do?
