yea what i think could be nice is if its possible to setup a way to see

Smallwindows of the skillbars from the other screens for the skills that are on cooldown Similar to this guy when hes fishing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyLfva5vPp4 notice how he has these windows over the bobs

if something similar was possible to have over the Cooldown skills for specific window to allow you to poly morph etc

anyone have any idea if something like this is possible?


as the main issue i see with running several classes is the ability to see cooldowns, klick individual cooldowns and ccs when needed when needed

I'm also interested in this. Any macro suggestions or recommendations on how to run dungeons while leveling as this combination.

A chat going on earlier regarding this topic. Not sure they reached a consensus but as a starting point.

I'm running a team of Warrior/Holy Priest/Mage/Lock/Shaman

I've multiboxed years and years ago, but not in a long time. I'm using ISBoxer and I will be doing my leveling almost exclusively through dungeons because PVP server and it should net me a good amount of gold.

I think using VFX is the key to running dungeons as it allows you to drive from the tank, but still throw heals. I am interested in finding a macro that allows me to CC specific targets such as X, Skull, Diamond, etc...However I don't know if such a macro is viable in Classic.

If you are going to 5 box, might as well level the Warrior in a 5 man group instead of just dualboxing. Allows you to run dungeons and not have to share loot.

You send any part of your screen you want to any window with videofx. You could not only view the button on cool down but press it.

yeah that doesnt sound bad that would make controlling rage so much easier

than have a shaman for Chainheal

my only issue is would a shaman be able to keep up manawise and if so how would one spec it

as warriors figured arms fury would be optimal for Sweepin strikes,cleave



getting more and more tempted to level 4 warriors 1shaman dungeon leveling
than 1 warrior 1 shaman quest leveling


BUT almost want a mage to be able to powerlevel in lowlevel dungeons easymode



how well would 4 warriors shaman do at 60 dungeonwise for farming pre raid bis etc?

since those type of groups are very very very rarily run since you would normally never find 4 warriors wanting to group together

From what I have seen the general consensus is that all healers can get various teams through dungeon fights but what isn't 100% clear is how often the Shaman healed team would have to stop to drink compared to other alternatives (like Paladin healed teams).

If my brother wasn't hard locked into Paladins (and were I not wanting to main a Paladin) and if PVE efficiency was my main goal I would likely run a Shaman healed group myself unless I found out that I would be drinking all the time. For me/us the #1 goal is Paladins for PVP healer(s)/hybrids in BGs with WPVP being a secondary goal and PVE efficiency being third.

ye i myself am not gonna multibox in pvp

since thats one of the things that give multiboxing such a bad name


so my main focus is definently just gonna be PVE just wondering what will be better

leveling 1-60 with 4 warriors 1 shaman in dungeon

or 1 warrior 1 shaman quest leveling

Well, do you want 4x warriors + 1 shaman at 60? If not it seems a bit wasteful to level all of it - But if your end game goal is to solo box instances, then you need the 5 box

thanks you all for all the responses sofar

well do you have a suggestion on any team that could potentially do better

while remaining easy to manage(new to boxing)


the 4 other accs are mainly to help my warrior with gold issues

and soloing 60 dungeons instead of having to split loot n gold etc


the thing im abit sacred of with multi class combo is that i might not have the experience to set that up well yet

i was thinking 1 warrior 3 mages(or 2 mages 1 warlock) + healer

but then i got to think that it will be harder to manage aggro vs mages if im aoe pullin in dungeons

with 4x warriors that shoudnt be an issue since they can all take a beating

Warrior+3Mages+Healer is very standard and being at range has it's advantages. Many people will find it easier (more manageable).

Swapping out 1 Mage for a Warlock gives you options to get your group together, send folk to town to sell and clear bags, helps you get your main back to the group if you leave them at the dungeon you are farming while he goes and raids, etc. Soulstones & healtstones are nice as well.

Personally if I was going to do a spell based group with a Warrior Main I likely would go Warrior+2Mages+Warlock+Priest.

after full consideration i think il just roll with

1 warrior + enhance/resto shaman for my first set to 60

after that il work on a full 5man group
which will probably be

1 Druid tank 2 mages 1warlock 1Priest healer
or
1 Druid tank 1 mages 1ele shaman 1warlock 1Priest healer

but thanks everyone for the help
