Question on 5 box today

Hey guys... still deciding between RIFT and WoW.

Question: I ran a 5box on WoW about 5 years ago pretty successfully. Not much I couldn't do. Pal, Clr, 3 X Wiz. With all the changes in the last 5 years, is it still possible to do the majority of the NEWER content with a 5 box and a properly setup ISBoxer? Or have they made the Boss fights a lot more complicated on positioning and doing "weird" things just to win the fight?

Thanks in advance.

You must be thinking of a different game... There aren't any Clerics or Wizards in WoW. ;)

They're definitely more complicated, but people have already cleared all of them I believe, so I don't imagine it's that big of a deal. Some encounters may have been "cheesed" due to Hunter pet mechanics, and others may have only been survived by one out of five characters, but they've all been completed as far as I know.

Thanks for the response... hah, sorry, meant Priest and Mages :)

So what 5 classes would you recommend for todays content to be able to do the most? Same setup or is there one that is going to make it easier these days?

I'm not all that savvy on which specs are OP and which aren't, but it generally comes down to which classes you're best at playing. I'm usually running a full mixed-class team myself.

Re: Question on 5 box today

I personally enjoy the druid tank class, hunter range dps and priest heals is a simple power house combo.
With a lil work, you can add in the hunter CC capabilities such as traps/sleep shot/petStun, making heroics less of a chore to do as well.

These are my intentions as I am NOT max level, but in the works.
