class spec suggestion

[hendrata]

Hello,

I'm going to dualbox a pally and a mage, and it's the first time I'm dual-boxing. I think I've researched enough about macros, setup, etc, and will give it a try.
But as for specs, does anyone have any suggestion? Right now I have 2 candidates:
1. prot pally + fire mage, of course pally is main and mage just spams fireball / scorch
2. holy pally + frost mage, where mage would be main / tank, and pally as healbot

FWIW: I am 3 - boxing a Pally / Priest / Mage. The Pally is Protection, the Priest is Holy, and the Mage is Fire. They are all still low level ( < 20 ) but they are a virtual lawnmower when fighting mobs. The pally spams judgements until I can get consecrate, the priest uses smite, and the mage uses fireball.

My opening volley is:

1st keypress: Priest "Renews" the pally, pally casts Seal of the Crusader, Mage frostbolts the soon-to-be victim
2nd keypress: Pally judges the seal. This draws aggro off the mage, and starts auto-attack
3rd KP: Re-Cast Seal of the Crusader.
4th+ KP: Each keypress casts firebolt on the mage and smite on the priest simultaneously. Omen lets me know when the pally needs to re-judge, or the two casters need to back off.

Seems to be working well for me so far. I would definitely recommend the Pally tank option with the mage as spammable DPS.

Prot pally's strongest point is aoe tanking a large number of mobs...combine that with mage AOE and your golden! I'd suggest Prot Pally + Frost Mage.

AoE frost mage would be kinda hard unless you have the mage as primary screen. this would work great if the pally has a charge/intercept talent to control the pally.
or if your second screen is big enough, and you have no problems switching to do your blizzard, you can make the mage the slave. better to just have Arcane explosion spams im guessing.

Yes I considered doing prot pally for AOE tanking + Frost mage for blizzard, but that means too much mouse-targeting. I have 2 monitors, but still I need to move my mouse here and there, and it gets kinda overwhelming for a new dual-boxer like me =)

I think I'd try prot pally + arcane explosion spam then. For single mob, I'll try spamming fireball.

Thanks all for the suggestions.
