Hi everyone. I started multiboxing 2 weeks ago and would like to thank everyone on these forums for their help. I thought it was about time I made an account and started adding what I know.

First of all. I am currently leveling my first team (3 x Elemental Shamans) and they are currently level 58. (They will be 60 tonight.) At first they was going to be 4, but I used Refer-a-Friend thing with a Trial account, and I couldn't group with the 4th until the account came off trial status. This worked out well for me because my parents (Yes they play WoW, and I'm not a youngster, yesterday I turned 28) started leveling 2 druids; a feral and resto one. We have been questing and boosting each other characters with our mains (Hunters, which works fairly well, I wish I had a mage for levels 1-40, and I have a 70 warrior, but it's on a shaman's account; which would have been nice from 40-60)

For my setup I use is 1 computer with 2 x 22" monitors(Dual Core 6000+ AMD, 8 GB RAM, Geforce 8800 GTS?). I have my main on one screen and alts on the other screen. I use Keyclone(Great software) and the PiP method to switch between the alts when needed.

I might not be doing the macros right, but I set my main character as the focus of my other alt characters. I have a macro for every damage and lightning spell to assist the main and cast the spell either healing or damage. This makes me feel like I'm playing one powerful shaman.

I see what people mean when they need to redo their macros. Sometimes weird stuff happens when I switch targets quickly, like all the lightning bolts will hit my previous target and some will hit my new target. I will do more reading on this after I get to 70, not really concerned about fixing it now because it hasn't caused me that big of problems.

I love Totem of Wrath stacking. I was surpised or how many people never knew it stacked, even elemental shamans. It helps alot dpsing in ramparts @ 55 (3 xToW and 3 points in elemental precsion = 15% hit).

After I get all 4 of my shamans to 70, I am thinking about getting 4 hunters to 70. I already have a full T6 geared priest with around 2300 +healing and 390 MP5 while casting and 4 hunters be fun with my priest.

Before the expansion, I plan on taking my 3 (or 4) elemental shaman in for a hyjal and BT clear. I'll let you know how it goes. I don't PvP but am a hardcore PvEer. Has anyone done this before? or on a weekly basis?

I AM ADDICTED TO MULTI-BOXING, THANKS ALOT! No really, thanks alot, been the most amount of fun playing WoW I've had since I started playing 3 years ago.
