Hey all im new to multiboxing :) i played wow since beta and cleared all places from zg to swp now i try to challenge my self to clear all 5 mans by solo :P and have fun... SO asking about my setup.

1 druid
3 shamans
1 mage

i spec the druid to feral and 1 of the shamans to heal... so the question is will the mage add little too much keyboard fidling so should i just take 4th shaman insted ?

i run all clients on 1 comp they run pretty good mains screen rolling on around 87-100fps the slaves are limited to 25....

what comes to second question should i get 2 accounts to my spare comp that can run 2 clients in avarage fps and performance.

Well, to your first question, I guess all we can tell you is try it and see. Try to match up spells with similar cast times/effects so you can minimize the actual buttons.

And for the other question, it depends on what you want. I run everything off my laptop and an external monitor. I keep the active window on 35 fps cap and the inactive at 15 fps. If you feel you need more FPS then I would highly suggest different computers. There is the bonus that if you ever have a hard crash it's not an entire party wipe as you can move over to another computer.

If you're using Keyclone, I'm not positive, but I think he makes you pay for an additional license for other computers. So that may also be something to factor in. However when you get into multiple computers, there are other options other then Keyclone.

I have that setup but prefer my pally tank over the druid. Just make sure you make castsequence macros so you can just spam the attack button and your guys will be firing off the spells. Your cast times will be different for your mage but using cast sequence you can keep them firing non stop.
