I am just getting into dual-boxing and I'm looking for some help regarding which of these addons to use. I'm just boxing 2 toons. Any recommendations of which one to start looking at?

Maybe you should read what each one offers and then decide for yourself?

No wait. Just roll 2 paladins.The problem I'm having is they both seem to offer similar functionality and I am not experienced enough in dual-boxing to know what is most important and how each performs.

The problem I'm having is they both seem to offer similar functionality and I am not experienced enough in dual-boxing to know what is most important and how each performs.A list of available multi-boxer addons is here on the wiki ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/wiki/index.php/Addons') (you don't have MultiBoxer v2 on your list). Having said that, I'm biased toward Jamba (for obvious reasons); but I don't think the 0.1a version is stable enough (quest sharing issues, some performance issues). I'd wait for a version 0.2 release before trying Jamba.

Aside from all that, I really hope you enjoy boxing your lock and shammy; boxing is a lot of fun! :D

I've used two-box toolkit and multiboxer. I like multiboxer better.

i used to use twoboxtoolkit but i switched to multiboxer, it seems to have more functionality, the clones all follow your flight master, and auto follow when they get out of combat, and if i trade with one of them i can see the clones inventory from my main screen, and all your whipsers come to your main toon from the clones and all kinds of cool stuff. I think someon on these forums made it but i found it on curse, just search for multibox and it's the only one that comes up.

I use Jamba with Multiboxer2 (with much of the redundant functionality disabled.) Just have to be careful to manually go through the quest dialogs individually if there is a reward you want as Jamba seems a little flaky and sometimes does random things. Eagerly awaiting .2 though :D

I use all three you mention but as Jamba adds functionality I will be disabling features in the other 2.

I was using ZQB + a few other mods, which I've ditched in favor of Jamba. It's stable enough for me (with a few caveats from the release thread) such that it has replaced the others. I don't want auto-refollow as there are times when I specifically do NOT want my guys following me. To that end, I've slightly hacked OhNoes mod so it flashes the window bright red or green on focus/breakfollow events and I absolutely love it. Once Jamba is a bit more mature, I'll be in 7th heaven. ;)
