Anyone try multiboxing twinks (19,60, 70, 79 and other lvl's)?
Is it viable as in can you win a bg by yourself or at the very least kill anything you want? Which class would be best for multiboxing in the 19 bracket? 5 hunters? 4 hunters + healer? 5 shamans?
I know you get hated for being a multiboxer or a twinker by large part of the community and I suppose the hate for doing this will be astronomical but I just want to try new things :p
On Wotlk?
Never had a pvp twink on warmane but i guess BGs pop only on 10-19 and 70-79 up.
I think that 4 hunter + healer would be the best team on lvl 19. 5 spriest should be also nice but i would stay away from ele shamis because they are quite weak on low level.
Already replied in the other thread, but figured I'd C/P here for visibility.
I'm actually just putting the finishing touches on a 5 hunter team for Deathwing 19s. Used to be heavily involved in the twink community on a different private server back in the day (was shut down), and have been playing retail for the last 5 years or so, but with the death of the twink community on retail I thought I'd give it a go here.
Going to put together a mirror team for the other faction too so I can at least flop back and forth, help get queues popping, and hopefully minimize the negativity. During peak time when the brackets busy, I'll just play one toon so that I'm not preventing people from getting in.
I'll let you know how it goes, but my hopes are that there won't be too much rage if I'm not a dick about it and "spread the love".
In terms of the mechanics of it, there will likely be some unique challenges. Especially at 19, the burst to health ratio is high enough that rogues will still be able to pop out and mow down some a couple of your toons quickly, so I'll probably find myself in mid and hugging my graveyard more than I normally would to make it easier to pick up ressing team members.
Hope to get the group into BGs this weekend so I'll let you know how it goes.
Idk what expansion you're talking about (assuming WotLK? mboxers seem to mostly avoid cata for some reason and MoP has its disabled follow shenanigans), but from what I remember of doing a few BGs in the 70s range on some WotLK server I was leveling on with 4x elemental (not even twinking anything), damage versus health ratio was so ridicoulously stupid that even having the damn lava burst spell felt almost useless. I'd leveled engineering all the way through when leveling and so already had pyro-mounted rockets, and those x4 would insta-kill most people on their own. Flame shock 4x could also get kills on its own.
On the other end though, I couldn't let anyone get anything off on me, or I'd lose toons. Having several toons felt almost redundant when only one of them could 100 -> 0 someone with 3-4 spells.
Then again, I'm heavily biased with cataclysm's higher health ratio to the damage available. Feels more rewarding to pull off complete ability combos as a multiboxer when you're not overkilling the target by 300%.
POSSIBLE, yes. On Wotlk retail Darkspear-US I'd see maybe a multiboxing group of ele shammys level 70 twinks when I was in the 70s bracket every 7th game. I have never seen a multiboxing group on 19s, though, since i figured it's much harder at that level due ot rogues killling your toons very quickly (as a hunter)
so, in light of all that, i making a 4boxed 19 hunter twink, lol.
i think to target against the rogue problem you have a team of warriors or paladins, but they arent very useful if you have 5 of them (half of your WSG team) as slow moving tanks. :)
