My experience with dual-boxing

[darteres]

I must first say that there is a wealth of knowledge on here that is astonishing. The wiki's are clear and concise. The forums have wonderful stickies. I applaud all involved with their creation. I started a week ago with a mage/druid combo (now up to 35). My idea was to go caster/caster with druid backup heals. With the help of some macros that I pulled from various threads, I can aoe down groups of 6 with no problem, I can do almost non-stop chain pulls,I can handle adds with sheep and roots. It's a blast. I'm having more fun than ever before in WoW. It's like the game is new again. I'm probably doing it backwards, but I control the mage and have the druid assist. Once I hit 40, I'm going to control the boomkin and have mage assist.

My next venture is going to be a shammy/hunter combo, I believe. Control the shammy, have pet auto tank and hunter pew pew.

I think that having two of the same class would have been a lot easier to start with, but now that I'm getting the hang of macros and putting some slave keybinds to the num pad, I don't have as much of a problem. I just have to wrap my head around which skills would be best in each situation.

Thanks to all for everything! :D

Welcome to the madhouse! :D

I agree, multiboxing, and the people doing it, have refreshed my zest for playing. May we all live long and mulltiply.

Sounds like you're doing fine, and having fun, that's all that is important!

The wrapping your head around the tactics is the *really* fun part. :) I've been playing in BC dungeons with my 3, and learning all kinds of new things, even though they're 80.

Good choice on the Boomkin, mine is 80, and kicks serious ass. The 5 boomer team here is nothing short of amazing, at 80. (Sorry, forgot who's team it was)

Welcome to the only thing that I have found to be more addictive than WoW!

Not only has this site refreshed my love of WoW, it's also shown me that I can see content that I never thought I would see in world.

Being able to solo MC and BWL is why I still box :P
