Multi Boxing Diffrent Classes?

[oMek]

with the new RaF changes im thinkin about givein multibox a shot. i would be running just 2 accounts ide like a sham and a lock.

long as the attacks where the same hot keys would there be any problem with multiboxing a lock/sham togher?

Right now, I am boxing 2xmages, a priest, a shammy and a paladin. The only initial issue I had was setting up their spells so they would all land at the same time and keeping my Pally tank from going OOM; I love to mash my bit button!:) Remember, round robin can be your friend! I don't for see any problems boxing those two classes together. Check out their spells cast time and do a test run to see which of the two draws the initial aggro from your intial barrage; do this on low level mobs :) Once you find out which of the two is the aggro whore then you can plan your engagement tactics.... >....Look at me I almost sound like a professional.....<

There have been quite alot of discussions about multi-class boxing - alot of us do / have done it.

Enter the search phrase "multiple classes" (with the quotes) into the Search facility (http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?form=search) to pull up some old discussions - some of which are very recent.

It really doesn't matter if the spells all land at the same time - that doesn't happen once you take account of push-backs and interrupts anyway, and you soon get used to just keyboard mashing.

Warlock and Shammie will work as well together as any other caster duo, with the lock pet as a pseudo-tank :)

I agree about the timing of spells.

You only need to worry about the individual toon's spell timing in a cast sequence, so you don't have them just sitting there waiting on a timer before they can cast again.

As for multiple classes, I'm running 5 different ones now as my main group. (see sig).

Hats off to those running 5 different classes successfully. I've gotten lazy with Pally+Shamanx4.
