Multiboxing 1 Paladin + 3 Warlocks...

I'm going to be in instances 90%+ the time...

At ~60 I'll add in a priest. (It's possible i'll end up using my druid instead, but I think i'll probally stick with the priest)

Because I'm still learning, I expect that I keeping all warlocks on the same spec will be best... (this way they have the same spells, same abilities, same cooldowns, etc)

Looking for spec suggestions...

Thanks :)

10-20 warlocks affliction, paladin ret
20-34 warlocks destruction, paladin ret
35-49 warlocks destruction, paladin prot
50-60 warlocks demon, paladin prot (or holy depending on what you do with the druid or priest)

you prob wont be able to solo instances with this but you wouldnt have a problem takeing down loads of none elites else where.

Prot paladins are amazing aoe tanks, and with judgement of light (healing) with reckoning (prot talent) and a fast sword should be all the healing you will need. A shield spike (most blacksmiths can do them check ah and see if you can get a bs to put one on a shield for you), will help you deal loads of damage.

i sujest looking for mobs in groups of just melee for this as casters will seriously skrew up your paladin while tanking, you will soon learn this :p

warlocks get hellfire at 30 and with improved talents in destruction means they are less likely to lose cast time while channeling aoe, and they wont or shouldnt take any aggro as your over powered tankadin holds aggro amazingly.
It would pay off for you big time if you just leveled a new priest or druid to heal the paladin along the way you could manage instances pretty simply i would think.

Doing alittle research on both classes would help you alot, you should check to see what new skills are comming up in the next few levels, read alot about the talents, there are alot of very easily overlooked amazing talents in the prot tree.

if you did decided to level the priest as well you would have it pretty dam easy, paladin would never go oom, you would have more stamina = more hp for the warlocks = more mana for aoe. And priests are so freaking imba that with poh you could keep them all alive in aoe senarios. Just dont divine shield your paladin = wipe

hope this helps you get on your way and good luck mate, currently in a simular set up 3 locks 1 priest 1 druid atm, i decided to level the druid and priest alittle later so they are currently doing some catching up.

Let me know how your get on.

I would defintely go affliction if you're Paly is going to be tanking. Have a look at this affliction support build:
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=NEMb0RfkqtfobZxx0pM
3 instant dots (corruption, CoA, Siphon Life) and 2 additional dots (immolate & UA), a reduced casting time on shadow bolt and an instant nuke with shadowburn.

Cheers,

My line of thought was that the paladin would heal till my priest joins in...

So I would be using voidwalkers to tank till then :)

My computer cant handle 5 yet, 4 is bad enough as it is on this computer... I'll be upgrading early next year and will start the 5-box then :)

Thanks for the help all :)
