New Multiboxer- Class picking, macro making, for RDF with RaF

[valensor]

Hey, I am currently running 3x WoW's with ISBoxer. I've got 2 monitors, i7 4770k, GTX 770 4GB, 16GB 1600 Ripjaw memory, with a 256 SSD.
I have RaF on all of my accounts and have practiced running 3x druid, 3x shaman, dabbled for a short amount of time with 3x warrior to practice with melee.
I'm having trouble figuring out how to set up macro's, if I should use interact with target and click to move or what, how to set up the sequences and allow wait for cooldowns.
Originally I was going to just run 3x of the same class, but I would really like to be able to do RDF efficiently and the wait for 3x DPS is dreadful. So I'm a little unsure of where to go from there, I would like to run a tank with my team so I can tank for RDF with almost instant que's. I can get more accounts if required to run a team more smoothly or at least with the most efficiency but so far 3x is easier to pay for with my job.

Thank you for any help, Val

Oh and I forgot to add, are there any addons other than Jamba that I should look into? It seems it has most of what I feel I would need but then again I am a total noob.

Sorry about another edit, but I was doing some reading on the forums, I guess I answered the question for myself and I'm going to have to run 5x accounts, but I'm still unsure about class choice and macros whilst leveling.

I have found that with ISBoxer, you can quite easily use different classes.

Macro's are quite easy to find, try searching google for wowsupermacro's or wowlazymacro's, those sites have a bunch for every class and spec.

The way I set keybinds/macro's up, in a very simple form, is:
1: Tank - Pull (Avengers shield), Healer - Shield on tank
2: Tank - Single Target macro, DPS - single target macro
3: Tank - AOE Macro, DPS - AOE Macro
5: Tank/DPS - Burn macro (ie Heroism, Avenging Wrath, Bestial Wrath, Fire Ele totem, etc.)

Then on my numpad I have my healer setup:
1: Heal tank
2: Heal team2
3: Heal team3
4: Heal team4
5: Heal self
6-9: Various heals/aoe heals/etc

I used this setup, and refined macro's as I levelled and got more spells, and did RAF from 15-85 in a couple of weeks.

Now that I've got most spells unlocked, I will be refining my macro's further, but you don't need to be really precise for levelling. I didn't even have a burn macro at all until I got to Wrath content!

Your question was a little bit vague, but I hope that is of some help for you. I've found 5 boxing to be extremely fun and am working on further 5man teams now!

Macros are addressed in each of these threads.

You will need to understand how to implement a priority macro system in order to deal with "timing" for cooldowns. Waits, loops, automatic casting or delays are all automation and can not be used.

You should always set up click to move and IWT, you will need it for looting, talking to NPCs, taking flight paths, using vendors and so on.

Addons are up to the individual. What you think is important and requires an addon may be completely irrelevant to someone else. Newb's Guide Vol. 2 covers the basics of what types of addons most people would look for when multiboxing.

Class choice is also something you need to decide for yourself. If you don't like the classes you're playing, then you're just going to feel like you wasted your time and money. There isn't a class combination that hasn't been used by someone at some point. The limiter is how much you want to work to turn your preferred classes into a viable team. Review the Group Composition Forum (http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/31-Multiboxing-Group-Composition-Discussion) for opinions on different combinations.
