[WoW] What dual boxing combo do you enjoy the most?

[Ellay]

As the title states which is your favorite combo for World of Warcraft.


Mages seem to be the strongest followed by hunters and warlocks being the most effective as combo's of the same class. A priest thrown with anything usually works out great too.

5 Hunters are great fun, but the lack of a rez outside of the not-so-trusty goblin jumper cables is really, REALLY annoying for instance running.

I'm looking at running a Paladin/Mage/Priest/Balance Druid/Elemental Shaman group once BC is released. Plenty of ranged damage, a solid tank, and I can switch out talent specs as needed to go from a Spell Heavy group to a moderate melee group.

I did a little test run of 1 paladin + 4 warlocks that was pretty fun. Voidwalkers tank 4 different targets then the warlocks DoT up each one at a time. By the time the 4th is DoTted the first is dead and that void walker is moved on to another target who gets more DoTs added. The paladin just keeps the Void Walkers alive through everything and keeps blessings on the warlocks. It was really quite effective for taking down outdoor elite spawns and instances. Plus you have the res there when necessary.

I used to run....

Warrior
Rogue
Priest
Mage
Warlock

I have successfully run BRD, LBRS, Scholo, and Baron.

Baron was tricky, and Scholo could be either easy or impossible, depending on who got teleported. Of course this was before the 2.0 patch, where they dismanted "smart" scripts. I plan on continuing this team in TBC, but I need to work on a new setup.

[Micah]

Right now I'm running Warrior, Paladin, Druid, Shaman, Rogue, though the Paladin won't be created until expansion release. The general strategy (in theory) is to have the warrior primary tank one target with the shaman, druid and rogue killing it while the paladin heals everyone (thus pulling aggro) including himself. Pre-22 it will be tough because the paladin will get interupted but after that it should get much easier as the paladin can easily heal through all incoming attacks.

[Ellay]

I'm trying out 3 hunters right now, it's the most overpowered easiest to level combo ever imaginable in the game. I feel dirty even playing it, just wondering if it is viable in pvp.

[nemesis]

I was thinking of running 5 warlocks (not sure I can stand to level any more characters). 5 Warlocks seem like a good idea... 5 void walkers.. health stones, soul stones. I wonder how viable this will be for TBC instances thou.

[Los]

wont 5 warlocks be too much of a micro manage issue? I solo levelled a lock to 60 but it was even hard with one at time.

[Micah]

I did 4 warlocks and a paladin up to ~20 and it was pretty easy. Created macros to set the focus for each of them and before a fight I would have each of them setup with a different focus. Then I would target one and they would all DoT it and all the void walkers would attack their respective focus's. Then I would go through DoTting up each of them. The paladin was just there to heal the voidwalkers when they got low.

[nemesis]

Did the voidwalkers tend to bounce aggro automatically?

Also, I haven't played since before 2.0. What do you mean by focus?

[Micah]

Each Voidwalker was on it's own target so the aggro held steady the whole time.

In 2.0+ you can have something called a "focus". A focus can be the target of any ability in a macro just like "target", "player", "party1", "party1pet", "raid 15", etc. You set a focus by just targeting something and typing "/focus" or typing something like "/focus party1target" which would set your focus to the first party member's target.

Basicly what it does is gives you a second target so you can easily split your attacks. For a healer you might have your focus set on your main tank and your target be the creep you are fighting. Then you can attack the creep and have your macros setup to do something like "/cast [target=focus] Heal". That would let you heal the main tank (your focus) without ever changing targets from the creep.

[Los]

You dont even have to be in a group to get a focused target. The target is the player himself.

[shinigam1]

Right now im working with 2 priests and so far its looking pretty good once i get Shadowform and Mind Flay it's going to be GG from their till 70

[Frosty]

Thread necro! 8|

But I'll join in none the less. My favorite so far is 1 pally, 1 shammy and 3 mages.

[euthana]

Im loving my two dual shadow priests

makes soloing easiest thing ever

at lvl 34 i solo'd SM gy with just my two lvl 34 shadow priests

[Nomak]

Warlock/Priest for grinding...DoTs + Tab while I run around non stop. Rogue/Druid was very fun for instance bypassing and boss killing. These have been my fav combos by far and I've tried just about all of them except anything involving a Pally.

[hardc0re]

3 mages nuff said :D
