lil help please

[excalibur]

ok ill try to be brief with this, what im looking for is a bit of guidance.

im pretty familiar with boxing, but have never progressed past 18.

so i guess what im asking is which would you do given this scenario

on jubei i have

70 ally shaman - epic gear in all specs ele gear and resto gear pretty awesome (post kara epics anyway)
70 spriest - epic gear in shadow, around 1100 healing in holy
those 2 on same account

70 rogue - epic gear (s2 and 3 pvp gear weapons included)
70 warlock - epic gear 1252 shadow damage in affliction hit capped
those 2 on my other account, also on this account i have a 58 mage and 61 warrior (my 2 18 shamans are on these accounts)

on barthilas i have

70 druid - epic tanking gear, 1100 healing in resto gear
on 1 account

70 paladin - epic healing 2100 set, epic tanking set, kara and mh gear(have never tanked but the set is very nice)
70 hunter - epic pvp set not great gear but not full blues
70 shaman - enh build atm and using the s0 gear from vendors no epic gear
on the 1 account.

so i guess what im asking is if i were to tackle boxing in earnest i would buy 2 extra accounts (i have a 3rd already but rarely use it and its kind of my (swap gold between servers) account.

which is easier - to split my chars on jubei since they are all epic and level a pally to tank or split my toons on barth and or level 4 shammies since i have a pally tank and a shaman already?

im leaning towards the jubei scene only cause bg queues are almost instant (they arent on barth) and i have a lot of time invested there.

Having rolled my team on my #2 server (much like barth is for you), there are definitely times I wish I had rolled them on my primary server.

LOL, you have geared out toons, you could level new toons fast, I'd just start from scratch and save the transfer fees. Looking at your gear, you know the game, and how to play classes, so I really don't think leveling will be a problem for you - just grab a good leveling guide and blast quests out with one of the 70s, or go beat up all the pre-BC dungeons for max XP.

[Talos]

if *I* had to make the choice...

barth, use the pally in tank gear to powerlevel 4 shammy's to 60 asap, from where you level normally with 4 shamans/1pally
at lvl 70 include your shammy for 5shammy total and do pvp to gear all 5 in elemental gear, and switch out the paladin to tackle instances

thats what i would do, seeing how you are just like me quite an oldtimer, and leveling from scratch would be a bore...


BUT this means going to server #2,... if you rather stick on server #1 than do think twice... im on a different server now due to some reallife friends, who all quit by now,.. now im all alone left....

How much of your life is worth $125 to transfer a team of 70's? I'll never let a transfer fee get in the way of saving 8+ days /played again. Even for a whole team, 8 days /played (a decent pace for 60+) would come out to 192 hours.. well under $1 per hour saved. If you're just transferring one character that would take a minimum of 6 days /played to 70, it's less than $0.18 per hour. Sorry, but my time is worth far more than that. I rerolled once when I wanted to transfer a couple years ago (guild left alliance Magtheridon for Kalecgos - worst decision they made), and I was too stubborn to look at the math behind the cost/time. Out of principle, I refused to pay more for a transfer. If I have the option/desire to have one of my characters on another realm/account, there's no way I'm letting $25/character get in the way.

sorry i think i forgot to add that barthilas is horde, what im thinking of doing is xferring my pally and shammy to magtheridon and powerlevelling 4 shammy there to join the multibox community.

can anyone tell me what battlegroup mag is on?

i really want insta bg queues.

and i know that jubei has that.

[Ughmahedhurtz]

We're in Ruin (Dallas, TX datacenter).

[Bollwerk]

Assuming all those toons are the same faction, then I'd just transfer them around so you end up with 5 on separate accounts that you feel comfortable with. With that many 70s, there's no need to level more toons unless you're missing a critical class. As a previous poster said, the transfer cost is a pittance compared to the time invested.

[excalibur]

can anyone tell me queue times?

mainly for av, ab and eots, idc about wsg that stuff is for the dogs, 30 mins for 1 mark pfffffft

[excalibur]

ok ive chosen jubei thos as i have 1 70 with great ele gear, and 2 clones at 18 already, im currently level 6 on the other 3 and ill start bringing in my pally when my shammies hit 35 which is his level.

im going to also try barthilas as my pally is too good an aoe tank to turn down.

hope to see any other boxers on those servers.
