Hey.

I got tired of the hunters because there were no healing, and the pets attack buttons were messed and bugged :(...

So I was thinking if, 1 pala(tank), 2 ele shamies or somehting. I aint sure yet, I just want to play something fun, maybe 3 different classes, or just 2 different. Like.. 1 tank and 2 shamans, for example..

Please tell me any idea of yours. :D

Thanks!

i never played 3boxing but done some dualbox,
but if i where to 3box i wold like to do paly tank and some nukers behind me maby 2 priest for the vampiric embrace:D no need for healing here:P you get heal + shitload of dmg;P
but if you change priest whit shaman and use your healing totem it wold be the same:P
this is just my ide. the shamans give you realy good totems to buff your pala

Hmm, yeah.. :) That sounds good.. ;) THough would a rogue be good at holding aggro / taking damage? Or would it suck badly? :D ..

I aint using RAF Btw.

I have a pally tank, and so far haven't needed a healer! - you could try a pally and 2 dps (afflic locks can drain to keep hp up) - or maybe 1 pally, one lock, one shaman to give you heals when u need it.

hmm havent played rogue mutch(did some playing at lvl 70) but i think that that rogue gona have problems holding aggro from your nuking shamans:P and rogue can take alot of dmg, but then agan in instance i dont think he is gona last for long:S
i wold rather have a druid than a rogue because he can use bear form for those damn elites and can go catform when just killing normal mobs:D duid is rogue and warrior in one.
and druid have a damn nice buff:P

Anyways, well

Aint it hard to arrange the same for all three?

I know how to do the macro's, but set them up seems abit difficult.

For example:

Hotkey 2 on;

Paladin: Judgement
Warlock: Shadow Bolt
Shaman Healing Wave @ Target Paladin

I hope you know what I mean...

Like, I can't spam healing Wave when my main doesn't need it, but yet then again, my paladin cant spam Judgement = Would be pure mana toss away, and the warlock would just spam the Bolts.. :(

I never had an issue with different types. It's possible my DPS is slightly down, but the sheer flexibility makes up for it.

in that case i wold do in the start as you are learning:
give pala hotkey 1 and warlock hotkey 2 and shammy give 3
palas hotkey 1 is a jugdment
warlock hotkey 2 is castsequence macro whit corruption, CoA then wand whit a assist macro too.
so when you go for a kill you push 1 to pull the mob and start tanking then push 2 to get warlock cast the 2 dots then just wand away to save mana. then buttom 3 is when your pala is going low on hp'

edit: the reason i dident pull all on the same hotkey is because you will only waste mana. why heal every time you use judment or heal every time you use a dot. heal is for when you need so give it one buttom alone:D

How can you do a macro for more than 1 spell?

For a warlock.. Is it like:

/cast Shadow Bolt
/stopcast
/cast Corruption
/stopcast
/cast wand
?? :S

to get the macroes see the macros and addons forum:D there is alot of stuff there
but a simple one is

/assist "palas name"
/castsequence reset=6 Curse of Agony, Corruption, shot

im not ingame right now im not 100% shure it works but it is simmular to this
this one targets your palas target(the one you are tanking) and start of by casting CoA on him then if you press the second buttom he will cast corruption and for the third time he will start shoting whit wand. and the macro will reset afther 6 sec that meens if you only cast CoA then w8 6 seconds it will reset and cast CoA on the nex target

plzz correct me if am wrong long time sins last tiime i did make a macro for Mb.

I'm currently running a prot pally, holy priest, and demo lock and rather enjoying it. In terms of leveling ability they're pretty great and low-mana consumption.

Warlock just sets up his 3 dots and lets his felguard do the dps. Priest throws up a SW:P and mostly just follows around like a blind ho, throwing up renew if I actually need any heals on the tank. Her primary job is to restore the lock's lifetapped hp tho :)

I was a bit clumsy at first when I took the leap from two-boxing the pally/priest to 3-boxing with the lock added in, but I've gotten the hang of it rather well now. My hands have learned where the buttons are that do each thing on each toon, and mostly it's taught me to play entirely by keyboard with both hands on the keys and none on the mouse. (I know that sucks for pvp but I don't pvp, I'm on a pve realm)
