[Theorycrafting] 4x shockadins and 1x tankadin?

[Memn]

Its an interesting idea, but I don't think it has much potential. Multiboxing Melee classes is awkward, and at some point each of your shockadins have to melee... 5 Concencrates sure would be nice tho.

My PvE group is comprised of a Prot Pally, 1 Priest and 3 Mages. I routinely farm Pre TBC instances by running through and frost nova + concencrating every time my concencrate cooldown is ready. This locks the mobs down into the concencrate (building all aggro on the paladin) while the group moves forward to aggro more things. The Priest rotates HoTs to keep everyone topped up, and when Im ready to burn things down I wait for it all to get to me (Line of Sight FTW) and Concencreate + Arcane Explosion everything down. Works really well.

I have less success AoEing with this group in Heroics, I regret not rolling 3 Warlocks instead, as Seed of Corruption is more multibox friendly than Blizzard.

incidentally, I have 3 locks, it was more of an accident, cause I wanted a second paladin to boost chars on my main paladin's acount, and I happened to have 3 lvl 10 locks, so I brought em along with the pally for boosting runs in deadmines, and the group stuck, and are now in their mid 40s. Can't wait to do seeds....

My main team has a druid and a shaman, and when I'm AoEing with my paladin/priest/mage, I mapped the same key on those 2 to do regular melee, and in doing so, I am getting the hang of PvE multibox melee. I just run slightly past the mob, and the alts on /follow are perfectly in range. Sometimes I need to re- apply follow, but for the most part, it works out really well. A lvl 28 balance druid doesn't add much DPS when casting, but he does as a kitty. I'm still working on getting the most ouf of my diverse group, and trying to resist the urge to just multiply a particular class, cause I want to challenge myself! (I will do the doubling up later on, after I have some 70s to farm some more gold.)

What would be great is a x5 bubble hearth macro.


Edit: I have a 50 something alliance Pally. Its parked in TM, I log on just to run in to TM gather up a gaurd or two and tank it waiting for the horde to come. Soon as they start hitting me I bubble hearth back to south shore and log out. Thats all I do with that toon lol.

While bored on my mage I used to head to nemmy in STV, find a lowbie I could 1 shot, Sheep him then hearth. I always thought that was funny.

Only problem I see is actually dealing damage when you arent casting spells..like spamming follow and move and dealing with rogues etc
