So Ive upgraded from 3 to 5 boxing.

Based on the advice of others here about using a 5 character team to blast through Outlands Instances, ive decided to jump on board.

After reading quite a few posts on 5 person combos ive decided to go with 1 pally 4 shaman. I know there are others here who have done the same so if you have any advice please feel free to share.

I have also gone with a theme based on of a personal fetish, see if you can guess what that is! No disrespect to anyone intended.

Right now I am working on getting the shamans to lvl 10 then its the pally's turn... then off to the barrens i guess. I have very very little experience with Horde quests and such so this could take a while.

BTW, I will be doing all of this on one computer, I'll let you know how that goes also.

Asus PK5-E MB--->Q6600--->GeForce 8800GTS--->3g Cheap Ram---> SATA II 500g Drive.

Wish me luck.

Being new to the horde, I suggest a run to UC and take the translocator to the BE starting zone and then eventually to Ghostlands. The quests in those areas are very multibox friendly. I leveled there exclusively with my paly, priest, 3xmage BE team and I finally left ghostlands level 18, 5g on each character, and good enough gear to one shot all of SFK. I tried to do the same with my 5xshaman tauren team and found it to be MUCH slower. The barrens is just too wide open.

That's what I dread most about starting up another team - the S L O W walking around everywhere.

The last couple of guys I've started I stuck with my 70 hunter so he could give them the movement buff ... one less slot for a new toon, but soooo much faster before 40.

BTW, at 20 (or whatever the min level is for Stockades), the hunter is pretty good at boosting - just touch every mob in there once with any kind of shot and move on - by the time you are to the next pack your pet will have finished them off. Still not as fast as a prot pally, but not bad if he's been speed boosting them around anyway. I'm sure that would work even better on the horde side when you can get into Wailing Caverns even lower level (this is all assuming you have a boosting toon).
