Few questions :d still new and doing duel boxing

[X@nder]

ok so im trying out duel boxing and decided apon a pally + lock, at first i just started out with pally as my master and lock as slave, but some problems i come across is its a pain to try and get my lock to stand the right direction, becuase sometimes the mobs like to wander around more often then known really :(.

im just thinking, would it be easyer to have my lock as master and pally as slave, still using the pally to tank, but i can kinda take more advantage of /interact macro, what do you think guys?

also, seeing as im still kinda new, any suggestion on more class combinations, im hoping to get em both as high as i can and combine the accounts, cause i cant keep 2 accounts up for long, need money haha and im hoping to have a good dps class and a healer at 80 :D not a big tank fan at all :D

thanks :D

oh and btw, ive just got keyclone and still figuring it out :D

In general, it is easier with the tank/melee as the main and the caster/healer as the slave/follower toons.
The main reason is that follow breaks once melee combat begins, but it doesn't break when casting or shooting.

The Warlock (and every other class) requires facing for offensive spells.
Heals do not require any facing, as you can cast heals even on a target directly behind you.

In general, its good to keybind a method to move your slave toons, which does not also move the main.
If you go into wow keybindings (press Escape while in game, and pick Keybindings from the menu)... You'll see for example, both W and the forward arrow are keybound to moving foward, just like A and the left arrow are both keybound to turning left.
You can go to the paladin, and change the secondary keybindings, so the arrow keys do not control its movement.
Then go to the warlock, and remove the primary keybindings, so the WASD keys do not control its movement.
Once this is done, you can turn either toon independently of the other toon.

The jewelcrafters have a fairly cheap item called a "Dark Jade Focusing Lens".
As an alternative, if you click on this item while targeting something, your toon will automatically turn to face your target.
You could preface your macro's with... /use Dark jade Focusing Lens...


*Edit*
I'd strongly recommend going with the Recruit a Friend promotion.
Log into the main account on www.warcraft.com and go to account management.
Click the recruit a friend promotion.
Send a RAF invite to your own email address.
Use the code you receive in that email to activate your second account.
It is a trial account, which means it cannot go past 20th.
You can upgrade it to a full account, by using a cd-key from an existing account.
If you're not playing Draenei or Blood Elves (they require Burning Crusade expansion on the account), a classic game is good enough.
Even if you only want one toon to be a Draenei or a Blood Elf, that can be your current/keeper account.
You only need BC for both, if you'd like two toons to both be Draenei or Blood Elves.
The accounts are linked, via the RAF program.
If you spend cash for a month subscription on the new account, the existing master account is credited with a month of play time.
The existing account will receive (one toon only) a Zhevra Mount and the accomplishment for RAF.
While the two toons are grouped together (Referring and Referred Accounts) and within +/- 3 Levels (example 10th and 13th), they both receive 3x exp from kills and quests.
You can level toons to 60th incredibly quickly.
