Hey there,
I did some searching around and haven't come across any guides on my specific situation although I am sure that I haven't searched thoroughly enough.
I apologize if this thread is redundant >.< .

I plan on running:
Tank: Paladin
Healer: Druid
DPS: Elemental Sham

I am new to multiboxing and decided to start with 3.
This time I just wanted to try out Tank,Healer,DPS and then check the forums to see if anyone had any advice they could give for a guiding hand.
Any tips or information would be very much appreciated.(Even guide referrals(without broken links >.<))
I had a simple enough time with 3boxing locks but it got redundant fast. I wanted a bit more of a challenge.
First I was thinking that I wanted a full melee team but I think that challenge might wait for another day.
Oh and before I forget, Any naming suggestions for the 3? :D

Hardware or Software boxing?

What are you goals for the team?
PvP play (arena, world, battlegrounds?), dungeon-finder instances/heroics, just leveling up, LFR down the road?

Having one of each role (healer dps tank) should be a challenge enough. I always found it challenging to heal when making the healer a slave.

I am software boxing i suppose. All 3 on 1 computer, dual monitors.

I really doubt at this time that I could pvp with 3 different classes at the same time but down the road maybe that would be an option.
My goals as of right now are just to be able to do quests / dungeons and possibly LFR eventually if I get savvy enough with them.

ISBoxer and Jamba for the mod
The current issue that I'm trying to resolve is having my Resto druid as slave.
Without using macros or repeater regions combined with mods (basically just opening the game and playing) I am having a problem where my resto slave is like 1 step behind on the keybinds. I target my paladin, then press the rejuvenation keybind and it heals itself. Then I press the keybind again and it will heal the paladin. I would assume this is a common problem?
I tried using the setup from http://www.dual-boxing.com/threads/46370-GUIDE-Click-Healing-System-Using-Party-Frames?highlight=healer (http://www.dual-boxing.com/threads/46370-GUIDE-Click-Healing-System-Using-Party-Frames?highlight=healer)
I'm fairly certain that I am damn'd close to getting everything right to make that work but I'm wondering if there's an easier way.. Like a repeater region guide for grid or something? Even a crash course in repeater regions would work wonders i think.

I would go with Grid + GridCustomLayouts + Clique for your healing.

You can be on any toon on your team.
And you can heal quite effectively, by clicking on the Grid frame.
The only thing you need really, is for the grid to be in the same position and the same order on everyone's screen.
My last link below, shows my custom setup... which is my toons in column one and the rest of the raid/battleground in the remaining columns.




Here's a video overview of Repeater Regions: http://isboxer.com/index.php/guides/33-wow-video-tovya-repeater
It is a little older, but shows the process quite well.

Here's a textual version of the same: http://isboxer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=3

And my current Grid/Custom Layout, which differs from the previous post: http://www.dual-boxing.com/threads/45580-DK-Team-FINALLY-at-85-and-cruising-through-AV-weekend-%29?p=347870#post347870



If you want a bit of a video demonstration of Grid based healing in action...

That was by far the easiest guides that I've seen thus far. Thank you again Ualaa! Couldn't have done it without you!
