I have just started dualboxing and have successfully leveled 2 sets of toons to 80(when RAF ends) Mage and Warlocks. With the RAF bonus and BOA gear this only took a weekend, I was amazed at how fast it was. I am using my main accounts server which already had 5 level max level toons, the two mentioned above, one to reserve my Panda's Name(Kungpao), a mid 50s alt, and an opposite faction AH toon. Which leaves me with only one slot left.

I plan on gifting levels to my Monk up to 80 using the RAF perk @ launch and to do this, in theory, I needed a lvl 80, levl 40 and an lvl 20 on my other new account. Because it was so easy to level with RAF I accidentally leveled the second set to 80, so now I plan on doing this for another toon first to test out how it works so I don't get screwed some how. (like they will only let you receive gift levels from one toon and not multiple.)

I would like to try and level 2 different class this time using priority macros and isboxer to control the second character while maximizing dps on both. I assume that dualboxing 2 melee class is kind of a pain in the ass and I want to avoid leveling another Mage/Warlock. I would like to level a Warrior on my main account and would like some suggestions on which support character would be easiest to take with me as DPS while dualboxing. Some macros for both would be helpful.

If there are other posts on this already, I'm sorry, I did do a quick search with out any luck. Please post the links and I will read through the other posts.

Hey,

Welcome to the forums! Running two melee is pretty easy with Interact With Target. But if you want to roll with a warrior and one other, I'd recommend a hybrid - paladin, shaman or druid as the second. At least you can get some emergency heals in with a hybrid.

Good luck!
Jafula.

I ended up rolling before your post and that would have been a GREAT idea.. I went with a Warrior(Tank) and Hunter. I made some very generic /castsequence macros for both for single and mult-target. I always have bad luck with fall through macros and was in too much of a hurry to take the time to lookup how to using isboxer to send them all at once. Sadly, when I run instances I am still usually 1 and 2 on single target/boss fights. Using isboxer and Jamba I got them into 60's in 2 casual days and now its PANDA TIME!

As long as you have your RAF, level a whole bunch of classes.
You never know what you'll find interesting a year from now.
Or what might be buffed/nerfed to the point where you want to try something else.

Also, even if you're not actively playing a toon, you might still get something out of having a toon high enough for a given tradeskill.
Even if you're "milling" for your inscription toon, doing it with five toons only takes 20% as long as with a single toon.
Plus, you might benefit from an "army" of alchemists/tailors/etc for the once every 24 hours transmute.

More options is better than fewer options.
RAF is a building block for later fun.
