to theorycraft a working winning tactic for both WSG and AB, as multibox shaman.


I'm losing like 98% of my WSGs and ABs.. which is just normal on my battlegroup because alliance doesn't win those BGs.
BUT.. I think that, with a proper tactic, multiboxed shaman could turn those numbers into more 50-50.

What you think? Currently I have no idea how to win these BGs.
My strat for WSG. Shaman provide one of the greatest Defenses in the game for D. I set up my quadbox at the door going to they GY. Giving me a good view of favorite Ally spots, the tunnel and ledge. I put one earthbind about 10 yards in front of the flag. I love to have a rogue or mage accompany me on D. The rogue locks them up and I nuke. The Mage snares and I nuke. If you get a Flag runner that is a trinket/potion whore...you know the druid who hits the "Swiftness Boots", "Stopwatch Trinket", "Swiftness potion." realize you will never catch them. I have 3 macros for WSG (/bg Flag Runner is going (TUNNEL) (RAMP) (GY)) Since you can't catch the Flag runner realize he brought support, and also realize just because the flag is on the way out doesnt mean you should let his support follow. Destroy them all.

If your team has no O, I simply ride over take the flag kill everything on my way back. Once I get back to my side I either cap or drop it and let someone else pick up. I then run over and return our flag. Two trips for one cap...games last twice as long but with that strat I can usually pull like an 80% win ratio.

My strat for AB. As a multiboxer you have lead 99% of the time. I put people in groups, spread DPS and healers evenly. Macros are priceless in BGs even if its not a premade doesnt mean you shouldn't organize it like one. I have a macro that tells what group to go where.

/bg Group 1 - LM
/bg Group 2 - BS
/bg Group 3 - GM
/bg You cap it you protect it! I'll Handle farm. Im multiboxing, so you can either watch the show and lose or follow directions and make it quick.
/bg WOOT thanks for riding the Elektric Express.

yeah its a little arrogant and I always get the "WTF" tells but often I get "Are you queueing again? I love my honor when you're in here".

When the game starts My healer caps Farm. I always bring a healer because its good practice. I take down GM, it hardly ever has resistance and my healer catches up to me. I move straight to Stables. After Stables I move to LM (highest priority) or BS if it hasn't capped Horde. I usually get some hate because I dont follow my own rules...I never protect nodes I cap. But I do take whatever node I'm at. As a multiboxer we cant be everywhere at once, and in AB and EoS it can really hurt the team. So in an effort to use our weakness as a strength you have to understand game mechanics. The goal is to turn all the nodes over to neutral. At this point they have nowhere to rez except start. You then ride to the node with the most alliance and kill them all. rezzing at the start area is humiliating. Getting the timing down takes some practice but after a while youll be 4 and 5 capping on a regular basis. You just rinse and repeat and never let them hold a node...pretty soon you're farming HKs at stables.
