Introduction

[Wilbon]

Just wanted to introduce myself to this great community! I have been playing WoW since 1 month after release on U.S. server Terenas (Alliance and Horde). Took some time off shortly after expansion hit shelves (real-life move) and have just recently gotten settled in and back into WoW.

I have been dual-boxing for the past 2 weeks on 1pc with a basic 2 hunter setup with some AHK assistance. I have decided to take the plunge and start a 5-box team on 5 separate pc's to play. I already have all the hardware available; except an additional monitor that I will order soon. I would like my new team to consist of characters that I have never played. This leaves alot of classes to choose from as I have only played a Rogue and Hunter.

The team will concentrate on PVE content only. After reading through alot of posts here I think I would like to try a classic group makeup consisting of a tank, healer and 3 dps. I know my tank is going to be a Warrior, and have narrowed the dps roles to 3 warlocks or 3 mages. My questions in regard to class makeup are:
1. Would you recommend a priest or paladin for MH duties?
2. How difficult would it be to split the dps roles? For example instead of having 3 warlocks or 3 mages; have 2 warlocks and 1 mage? Can anyone give an example of some problems I may come across in doing so?

Thanks in advance! Look forward to getting going on my 5-box team!

Even though you mainly want to PvE, consider rolling on Magtheridon. 6+ 5 boxers there already, several of which just started.

Thanks Xzin. I read the sticky at the top as Magtheridon being the 'Official Multibox Server' :wink: and may decide to roll there to join up. Only thing that was holding me back was that I have never pvp'd (except for some times in the old SouthShore vs. Tarren Mill battles) and I have 'oodles' of gold available on Terenas to help out my team if needed. I'll post in that thread if I decide to roll there.

You can bring oodles with you if you transfer, plus PvP server does not mean constantly getting killed, especially in instances.

But your call :) Would be fun though!

Can't transfer from PVE to PVP. :x

Good point on the instances though. You may have convinced me. I also would like doing the 5-man team with no help from my main, and by doing it on a different server would do the trick! :)

Plus, take mining and skinning on the "main" toon, and herbing on another (long as you can watch his minimap) and you'll never have cash flow problems ;)

Pretty much what I was thinking of doing. And then taking main professions on other characters. (ie; enchanting, tailoring for clothies, jewelcrafting.)
