Can anyone give me an idea of the scope of different classes that is possible to multi-box with? I'd like to try this, thinking of just dual-boxing. I wondered if it would be possible to do this with such combos as warrior+priest, due to how awesome it would be in BGs.

I then realized that the only way to keep both characters moving together would probably to to have the second set on follow, thus bringing your priest right into the middle of melee.

How wide is the range of combos that can be reasonably pulled off with dual-boxing? Stick to classes of the same range?

You can break follow easily by pressing a movement key on your follower.

Most class combinations that work well in normal groups work well together, theres a sticky detailing some of the best combo's for Dual boxing.

Warrior and Priest would work well together.

I am currently setting up and working with a rogue and a mage :) It is NOT the most easy setup to do but here is a list of things that I have working on them.

Automatically create food / water and hand it out to whoever and accept trade (in conjunction with trade dispenser)

All mage buffs recastable, or on persons who ask for it by targeting with the rogue.

Combat not the easiest since I use a lot of buttons on my rogue :) But some buttons are linked to feint or abilities that I dont use as much.

Anyway when I fight I have the ability to sheep anything, counterspell anything, auto mana shield ice barrier, ice block my mage simply by targeting with my rogue.

I also have a few cast sequences set up so that the main attack for my mage would be a frost bolt, fire blast reset, and then of course I have a frost nova cast sequence with frost nova which works nicely and a pet summon attack button as well.

Working on it, but its nice so far :)

I use trade dispenser, but can't see how to make my toons accept a trade via a macro, can you tell me how you do it? :oops:

/script AcceptGroup();
/script AcceptQuest();
/script AcceptTrade();
/script RetrieveCorpse();
/script RepopMe();

put this on all of your toons and bind it to the same key. This is my F12 key. i simple give something to one of my toons from another toon hit the F12 key and both toons hit accept. Works for accepting shared quests, releasing when you die, taking group invites, and for poping all of your toons up at the same time if someone is camping your corpses.

My main's F12 looks like this so i can invite my group with the same key and then hit it again and they all accept.

/script AcceptGroup();
/script AcceptQuest();
/script AcceptTrade();
/script RetrieveCorpse();
/script RepopMe();
/inv jusab
/inv jusac
/inv jusad
/inv jusae

Good Luck and Have Fun.

Mine is the same exact thing on my main plus this line:

/ffa

So I hit the key a third time to turn on Free For All looting.

Is there any way to just make Free For All the default when a group is formed?
