Hey,
I'm quite new to whole multiboxing thing and still doing everything in conventional way without keyclone or anything, but i'm just curious would you think that it is possible to duo most of normal lvl70 intances for reputation grind.

i've got T5/T6 geared Prot paladin with 600+ spelldamage and newly geared holy/disc priest with 1600+ healing, now i've just started to to think could i easily gain reputation for major factions just to duo instances with my characters, because i need some rep to get all the neccesery proffiency receipes what i want =), (currently just used to dual box for doing dailys efficiently and helpping other char in grp quests)


I've thinking mostly the next ones that i should try, because the rep that i need, so what you think what instances you would prefer and think should be easy enough to handle with?
* Shattered Halls
* Botanica
* Steamvault
* Shadow Labs

(Propably just trash farming and skip bosses and reset instance, rince and repeat style.)

Thanks advance for any advice you can give "noob" like me =D

i think most instances in normal will be easy for a t5/t6 prot paladin with such spell dmg. the priest will ensure u can kill some groups of mobs at a time...its doable.

boss's will be harder or take too much time, but u can definitly grind rep easily imo.

guess there aint special tips, its just agro and kill X(

think carefully about what reps you want to grind, most probably don't have anything useful for your priest esp with wotlk so close (i don't think its worth grinding to exalted for anything now). it would be faster as well to invite a healer and 2 dps and just run the heroic version, imo. assuming your priest has some shadow gear of course, its much easier DPSing 2nd account than trying to tank and heal.

In shadow labs yeh get to watch yer pali beat the snot outta yer priest when yeh start after Blackheart the Inciter.

There's a few other places where yeh end up mced.

But besides that its doable. Most bosses would also doable as long as they dont mana drain.

I love enchanting and I get obsessed about having every good plan. Plus, some of the enchants you are talking about are the ones brought over from pre-TBC and they scale well with level. Ones like threat and threat reduction are very nice enchants. What else are you going to do between now and then? If you aren't leveling another set of toons for 5 boxing just keep raiding and grinding rep for those enchants. Unlike recipies for crafting items, enchanting recipies have a longer shelf life. I still do Crusader for someone almost every week.
