So, I took my (now level 17) Plox Brothers into WSG today. As it turns out, 10-19 twinks + being 50% of the team + not being max level + not being twinked + no experience = pain.

This is ridiculously challenging. Far more than I had anticipated - which is a good thing, since that's why I started boxing. Severe respect has been built for the 5v5ers out there. I salute you, this is redonkulous.

In any case, I ran into a few problems that I'm curious to see how other caster-boxers have handled:

1) Aiming the drones. I can't count the times a rogue managed to solo all 5 of me because he was dancing around and I couldn't get a spell off. I'm thinking that unbinding the arrow keys from my leader might help, since I then have dedicated keys with which to face the drones to a target that won't then turn my leader away. Other than that all I can do is grab a friend, run out to the stranglethorn arena, and practice practice practice. Is there any other way to make this easier?

2) Leader dying. The only response I have to this is continuing to control the drones from my main interface... I have no method of changing my lead toon at the moment. I could quickly /focus the next leader, the problem then becomes that my spell-casting macros currently run as:

/target focus
/assist
/cast spell

I believe that possibly having the macros re-written as /assist focus, then /cast, would help solve the problem. I've seen people use [target=focus'starget] or what have you, but I'm not entirely sure how that works or if it would be better than what I'm doing now.

3) being 50% of the team. There's not much that can be done about this, but yeah... How did you other vboxers manage to get the WSG tokens for your gear? Did you grab 5 friends and premade it to everliving hell and back? I'm (as one might expect) constantly finding myself at the mercy of the main alliance zerg with no assistance. And with no chainlightning, water totems, NS, EM, and the various other abilities I have yet to acquire, it's not as effective as I'd thought it would be, yet.

Again, thanks for the input.
