3 shaman or 2shammy/1mage?
Moving this where it belongs, my apologies.
It's a pretty general discussion about multiboxing.
Why is it in the wrong section? :P
I'd rather go for 4 shaman, if that's an option. But 2 shaman and 1 mage as a 3 combo seems well interesting. Slightly more pve focused perhaps.
If you're more interested in pvp. I'd go 3 shaman, easier to manage in pvp.

At level 20, your shammies will get ghost wolf. I suspect your mage would be about as welcome as a fart in a space suit once that happens. That's certainly the case with my shaman group's paladin.
In a larger group where shammies are less dominant (Paladin/Shaman/Shaman/Mage/Priest perhaps) then this would be less noticeable.

That is more a convenience matter though. Once you reach level 40, it is fixed again.

I'd go with three shammies. The mage will give you some CC and counterspell and a bit of AoE but those can be adjusted for.

Depends on your setup
As a practical matter, a lot depends on your setup. If you're running 3 separate boxes (as I do), you'd be fine with a mage, since you'll likely be controlling all 3 separately. Sheep, water, counterspell, buffs and portability are very nice additions. The run speed will suck for 20 levels, but that should be a small percentage of the overall levelling process. Besides, the ports at 40+ will more than make up for the inconvenience.
If you're driving all 3 on the same box, I'd go with Shamans due to better keystroke/macro synergy and lower overhead.
Edit: typo
All I know is that I get QQ in some BGs... they whine and complain...
They are not QQ that I'm 5-boxing... they QQ that I'm boxing with 3 mages instead of 3x shamans.
*sigh*
(something to think about) :wacko:

Yes... this happened twice... from different people, different days..Seriously!?! They're QQ'ing about the class you chose? LOL!!!
Here's how the conversation would go in BG chat.
1. Damn... a botter!
2. Nah, they're 3-boxing
1. Oh ok... 3 Mages though?
3. Shamans would've owned
2. Yeah, Shamans FTW
4. I would've picked Shamans for the multiple chain lightnings
2. And then the chain heals
5. Damn... we're losing because of those mages
3. Could've won with shamans.
me. <...>
it made me cry a little inside... :S
And just so you know... my faction always loses AB.
