Are there any general rules of thumb regarding group composition or pairing? I have been slowly coming up to speed on dual-boxing and have setup my Mac to run two copies of the WoW with a single monitor. Unfortunately due to my monitor size my slave's window will be clipped so I wont have full visibility to. I I want to level up a level 60 warlock (affiliation) and a level 60 druid (feral). Is using one as the master better then other? I would rather start with the simpler to manage ordering then the optimal one and work my way toward the optimal pairing...assuming it is different.

From my noob perspective it would seem easier for me to control the warlock so I DoT up multiple targets and manage my health and mana effectively with drain life and soul and have the cat-form druid assist me. Any suggestions on setup are welcomed and appreciated!

I would recommend using your druid as your main and having your lock on follow to avoid movement issues which usually comes with melee classes being 'slaves'(doable just a bit more painful).
Just go bear form with your druid and the and dot your targets up either via assist or focus target. Locks are golden since you really don't have to worry which direction they're faceing if you mainly cast dots.

In general, playing the tank or healer is easier then playing the DPS toons.

The tank will frequently want to move to pick up an add, or to position or face the mob away from the team.
If you're not playing a tank, the healer generally is the most involved.

Ranged DPS are the easiest to deal with, because they sit there and DPS away, usually on a macro or two.

With the new "Click to Move" and "Interact With Target", melee can be controlled much more easily.
You could have the feral assist the warlock for target, Interact with Target, and spam a dps macro.
For leveling say as a Cat, this could work well, but if you decide to tank as a Bear, likely you'd want to control the Druid as the master.






I'd personally control the druid in this set up.
Have the warlock as the slave, break follow and away you go.

I'd personally have the druid as cat for most content.
Things will die very quickly outside of instances.

If your lock is Felguard spec (50+), two points in Improved Health Funnel and the glyph for Funnel...
And a Felguard can tank 5-man group quests quite easily.
Druid could kitty dps for low threat and heal the warlock when needed.
If you're not Felguard, Bear form with lock dps will do any two man quests easily.

I have seen may reference to "Click to Move" and "Interact With Target" but there is no sticky jumping out at me saying exactly what they do :S So tell me if I understand those two feature properly.

"Click to Move" - do I enable this for my slave(s) but not my main and just right click spots on the ground or targets I want my slave(s) to move to? Are the mouse clicks broadcasted like keyboard keys in CloneKeys

"Interact With Target" - I bind this WoW feature to a key and when I target something with my main I hit the key for interact on toons (main and slaves) and this will be my main's target and my slaves assist target.

Do I understand how to use these two features properly?

Wih Click To Move enabled, if your slave toons are not in interaction range of the target (talking to a flight master, quest npc, Meele Range for a meele toon for example) they will move to that range by themslves to interact with the target when you press the button you have bound "Interact with Target" to.

Hope that helps.

Ahh, that does help. So "Click to Move" is only enabled for "Interact With Target" to work with when slaves are out of range. It is not actually used to move the slaves.
