Dunno if anyone mentioned this but a couple of things that are going to mess you up.
1) You wont be able to do the 25 mans without a tank and in some cases specific classes, Your group is going to need much more variety, Multiple people that can decurse, Multiple people that can dispel, atleast 5 or 6 healers, 3 tanks (pref 4), and the rest be dps from there.
2) Leveling and gearing up for the 25 MANS will be very difficult to pull off
3) Priest cant tank


Good luck to you sir, but i think you are highly underestimating the challenge you are talking about here, learn the game first than develop a plan for this.


Edit: Read some more in this thread and I just want to emphasize what everyone else is saying about tank choice, Warrior is indeed the worst tank for multi-boxer because it requires a lot of attention to tank high level instances, especially 25 mans, It takes LOTS of button spamming that would take away from the 24 other characters you are trying to control

25 Elementat Shamans and ONE Blood Elf Protection Paladin as the tank/assist/lead. 26 total. The Paladin will have his own computer, the other 25 will be 5 clients on 5 computers.

Sam if you don't start until the WOTLK , you will be playing catch up for months and months. The thing is you need to level up your pally as fast as possible NOW. Then that will give you the option to boost whatever you want later. If you want to go with the shammy option, might as well dual or 5 box them together. (4 sham 1 pal) That way you will learn about 5 mans, class strengths/weaknesses, how to play them, and so on. Otherwise it seems like you are jerking us around if you don't follow through with anything.

Get started and I think you'll find that this community will help you along the way if you have questions about best ways to do things.

Im looking for wholesaler to sell me 26 wow battlechest copies. I am anxous to start lol .. Im not boosting.

If you have EVERYONE at about the same level and you have a group of 5 who getst the tag, it does not matter how many outside the tag group help you kill the mob (you only lose exp if those outside are to high to get exp for the mob). I wont be doing instances, Ill be out in the world killing mobs insantly after the tag. Ill get 1.4 for the group bonus and 1.2 for the high con bonus and 2.0 if i can find elits.

1.2 X 1.4 X 2.0 is whatever times normal exp for every elite kill that (in outlands I think) is 4 levels above the tag group.

if you go around with 10+toons in an area, you'll run out of mobs to kill very quickly and spend most your time waiting for the new spawns, or travelling to a new zone to clear i reckon.
Also, you'll need some 'main' toon to be able to somewhat finance the rest of the group. killing mobs with 10+ (let alone 25) will not net you with alot of gold per toon, even if only focusing on the 5 in the tag-group. eventually you'll not be able to buy all your skills as you level.

if i were to do this, i think i would either
- level 5 separate groups of 5, each with 4 shamies + 1 other class (healer or tank for example) and grind those groups of 5 toons in instances.
or
- level a first group of 5 to 70 as fast as possible, then use those new 70s to each boost a group with 4 new toons.

I really look forward to see your progress on this Sam.

I think it's going to be staggeringly difficult to do, but more power to you for it.

[badashh]

If you are talking about just mob grinding to get to 70, you might just want to stab yourself in the eyes with daggers now. The penalty for being in a raid will slow you down sooo much, and you can't complete kill quests while in a raid.

Ok so you don't want to boost or do instances. So that leaves grinding mobs or quests. I'm sure you've read that kill quests are a MBers best friend so maybe what you need to do is figure out every kill quest in the game(which would be a nice wiki for us!!!), and just grind them out. That will cure some of the boredom, and you will level much faster than just killing the mobs and getting that exp. You would have to just have parties of 5, no raid, and one party would get credit for each kill. Sit out a party when it is done with the quest then move on and so on.

You will run out of quest in zones, but I bet you could find a friendly Mage to port you to the different major cities and you could go to each starting area and do the kill quests there. That's how I would do it with your limitations.

Sam is not talking about grinding mobs as a raid. What he is describing is as follows:

He has five separate groups in an area.

Group 1 tags mobs and groups 1-to-5 nuke them down. Group 1 gets the exp. Rinse and repeat until they get the level he wants.

The group 2 tags mobs and groups 1-to-5 nuke them down. Once they are done, group 3 tags mobs. Etc etc etc

Yes, it's a grind and yes, it will be awfully boring and respawn timers might make that even worse. But as has been said before, if you've leveled up in Everquest before, leveling 1-70 in WoW will seem like a breeze.

[zanthor]

I'd really stick the paladin in with one of the shaman groups and stick to the 25 man concept.

Reason? Because with the shamans you have 16 totems for the pally... thats a LOT of wasted potential.

I really whould like to see this but I doubt it will work. Anyways, my advice (and that of a few others) is: since you don't want to start your 25 till wotlk use the time and play one character to 70 (preferably a paladin). That way you'll get experience with the game mechanics and get some ingame cash for repairs of your 25. Or you could play a group of 5 containing all characters you consider using to get a feel for those characters.
Anyways, stop reading and theorycrafting - go, pick up a few wow copies and start playing around. Then continue reading based on the experiences you made.
