Dual boxing rogue rogue

[Theseteeth]

(sorry if any of these methods have already been posted, i havent read much on these forums and i am too lazy to search :P)


So, im new to dual boxing, just started yesterday picked up key clone and went to town. i have plans on leveling my (2) 70 horde rogues to 80 together
ive been practicing for awhile and please let me know if you have any suggestions

so what i have done, is lowered my moniters resolution to increase frame rate (even on my new comp i sitll get lag on 1900 reso with both windows maximized) and maximized both windows and configured all my add ons so they are identical on screen so i dont get a headache when alt tabbing

the way im playing is i have the follow macro (its on 1) i hit 1, walk to a mob, start attacking (cheap shot/hemo wutever) with the first rogue, then alt tab and start attacking with the 2nd rogue on the 2nd screen. then since they are both in position, i can hit hemo and keyclone passes it through to both windows. I have kidney shot blind ect. important stuns that i wish to alternate not passing through so i can alt tab and alternate them at will.

this enables both rogues to be dpsing the same target, and then i either rupture or evisrate at the same time for the kill (usually kills anything :P)
and then, i keep on that same screen i am on, does not matter which rogue and do the same thing. Ive had great success with this method (pve'ing) and can take down mobs really fast.


Just an fyi if anyone has tried 2 boxing rogues with no success as this method works great and im having alot of fun with it ^_^ any input would be great, thanks!

*edit*

oh and i can also split rogues on targets, get 1 setup then the other and spam hemo or whatever attack im using and they will both get to work on their targets XD
ive had no problem doing this fast and effeciently, alt tabbing is alot faster then you think to control 2 characters from what ive tested. I know people might think that having
2 maximized screens and alt tabbing is alittle excessive, but i like having a large screen to see what im doing, and cant stand 2 small windows when im actually controlling both rogues not just relying on follow once i get into combat.

I was in the process of leveling two pally tanks for my 5 shammies. I quickly decided that was boring so I added a rogue to run in front to slice and dice mobs. Worked wonderfully. Also, it's fun with a little melee when you are used to playing with casters/ranged characters. I was thinking it's too bad I couldn't use the rogues stealth skill to the fullest, since pallies are not that skilled at becoming invisible. Then I thought what if I had a rogue and two druids. I knew was getting completely sidetracked, but I had to try it. Best WoW decision in a long time.

I haven't leveled the druids to level 20 yet so I haven't checked how the stealthing part works, but just first 8-10 levels was awesome. I could feel from the start who well the druids work as supporters with their buffs and heals/HoTs. You start off pulling mobs with a double wrath and/or moonfire and its often less than half health. The rogue do one sinister strike and eviscerate and the mob is dead or fleeing. If it flees it gets a double moonfire and is done fleeing. First I was thinking of leveling the druids resto, but I'll most likely make them balance.

I'm curious about how well the stealth part is going to work, particularly in BGs. You have a rogue and two cats sneaking up on a victim. The rogue starts his thing, taking chunks out of the victim's health. The victim starts fighting back and maybe gets the rogue into trouble (easy to imagine, since I'm not a good rogue, but I still think its a fun class to play). This the time when two druids pop out nowhere to heal the rogue and nuke the victim into the next world.
