View Full Version : What do you think is the best Dual-Boxing combo?

Ok, so I just started dual-boxing. I went through my trial time and got to ~20. I decided that this was a neat challenge and something that I definitely want to do.

I've got Octopus, Jamba, and Macaroon all set up in a way in which I understand them I'm really looking forward to at least the next 30 days and more if money allows. I've got my screens set up today, with maximize, they still look a little off and small XD, and I think this is all really interesting.

My question is- (sorry to bore you with the long introduction, this is just so exciting to me!)

I want to create a Human/Draenei combo team. I've got all the other races to 30 and would enjoy having one of each Alliance mount! I'm wondering what the best combo would be for a 2-boxer such as myself with these races. I've got my first dual-box team, a 31 Dwarf Hunter, and a 31 Gnome Mage, and then my main, a 53 NElf Druid. I'd really like to play some different things, and would also like to see what y'all think will work well together!

Another question of mine is, which starting area would we have to start in to get those quests? I understand that at least on the Horde side, the BC quests can't be gotten by other horde races, at least not the first set of them... So what is a good combo for these guys?

Im currently playing a sham/warr duo, went arms/resto for specs 1-60 which I regret, if I were to do it again id go Fury/Enhance to maximize DPS.

Of course the greatest obstacle will be the fact that double melee can be a pain, due to positioning and LOS issues for combat. Its sometimes easily resolved by taking a step back or turning etc but other times the slave just doesnt want to get LOS on the mob haha. Those two classes can qualify for your race desires, different classes also bring a bit of trouble but hey its more fun!

Race/Class combos for you

Shaman/Rogue
Pally/Pally
Pally/Warrior
Sham/Warr

You already have a hunter/mage so it sort of limits the Draenei to Warr/Sham/Pally
Humans can be anything so decide what youd like the draenei to be and go from there IMO

Nice Dual box combos:

Lock / Lock
Lock / Priest
Druid / Druid
Mage / Mage
Hunter / Hunter
Shaman / Shaman

you can also gift up characters (one 60 for each 2 sets levelled) ie. Pally & Rogue

and also once you hit 55 on one set you can dual box Dk's (assuming you have WOTLK installed)

Afflic Warlock and Balanced Druid was a great combo for me

Prot Pally and Balanced Druid i've also enjoyed

IMO make the Human a Protection Paladin and the Dranai an Elemental Shaman From what i have heard. Protection paladins level well on there own, and Elemental shamans are simple and complex at teh same time. Also I'm a shaman addict, so it my just be my addiction talking, but there are alot of players doing Prot paladin, shaman, shaman, shaman, shaman combinations and it seems ot be working just fine for them. I dont see why it would not work great for you as just 1 Prot Paladin and 1 elemental Shaman!

What ever you choose Good luck! :thumbsup:

I am going to do this as Horde, never have placed them and I am so bored with Wrath (raiding is so meh now)

That being said, I won't have any extra gold, no access to mages for ports, so what would be some good combos? I plan on using the guide posted here so as not to waste too much time looking for quests. I think that summoning will get me around some issues.

the problem I see at low levels is that caster classes just don't have much if any mana.

I do like the idea of pally/shaman - where the shaman is elemental. Tauren wise, shammy enchancement / druid (any), or warrior / druid (no real limit on killing then)

I did some playing single account on horde (only to 20) this week and noticed that AH is pretty much dead compared to Alliance (less than a fourth of the volume).

Shaman / Shaman gets my vote :p
I've leveled alot of combo's but atleast always with 1 shaman.
Priest / Hunter works pretty good too.

Goodluck :)

Thanks everyone for the advice. I ended up going Shammy/Pally combo. I hope it works out, althugh I'm not digging the pally's straight autoattack so far... :/
