New dual boxer just poping in.

[Chocki]

Hello all.

I have always been interested in multi-boxing, and now I finally get to try it. Thanks to this wonderful place. I spent so much time reading all the well written guides, faqs, and how-to's that I almost felt ashamed that I hadn't registered and said hello. Seriously, spent a good two weeks just going over everything to make sure I had it setup correctly before spending the money for a second copy of the game. At first, I was wondering weather spending the money for keyclone was going to be worth it. I looked over all the different options and quickly said "ehh, whats $40 bucks." I can honestly say, one of the best things I have ever payed for, not to mention that the programer provides support directly. Key.. after reading a few different threads where you helped out the person, not even stopping to make an update to fix an issue one person was having.. It made that choice much easier. Kudos to you man. All of you that had a part in making this site, pat yourselves on the back. Job well done.

Thanks again,
Chocki

Welcome to the forums! Be sure to talk about your trials and tribulations on these forums. We love to hear how well people are doing, and we love figuring out eachothers problems. Whcih class combo did you start with?

[Chocki]

I had to go through a few combos before I could really decide.

Mages
When ever I start a game, I tend to pick the mage class first. Same thing in WoW. So I picked a class that I had experience with, so that I could learn more about macros, technique, key passing, add-ons, and just how to play as a dual boxer, rather then worrying about how to play the class. Those two didn't last that long before I got comfortable with what I was doing.

Then I rolled a Pally/Priest
This team was solid, and it is much different playing two classes, maybe a little too much. I would quickly get overwhelmed with what was going on in battle, and kept playing like I just had a heal bot running behind me rather then a fully functioning second class. I think I jumped into this a little too quickly, or it might be the fact I have never played either of the classes. So I decided to roll a different combo to find out.

Warrior/Shaman
I have a 70 Shaman, and I love him, just so much fun to play.. yes, he is resto. I have leveled a warrior to high 30's before, and I got stuck once I started dieing to one or two adds. This combo was my first good attempt at playing different classes. But, still being very new to multi-boxing. I found it very tedious getting the mob into the correct spot allowing for both to melee. I didn't want to get myself frustrated this early in my experience, so I went back to my caster roots so to say.

Locks a Dots
I had played a lock to 51 before, so I know the class well enough to get a good start. I had a great time leveling my other lock which makes learning things that much easier. This will allow me the chance to figure out how to write macros using pets, cast sequences, and all those things that I never really used as a solo mage. This combo and the whole dual boxing challenge has gotten me giddy like a little school girl, like I was when I first started playing. I haven't felt like this since pre-bc.


It was quite a weird week rolling new toons every other day or so, but I think it was worth it in the end. I am more intrested in PvE then PvP, but knowing how much fun I have with my resto shammy in AV, I am sure I will level a 2nd just to pwn the healing meters that much more. For some crazy reason, it makes me giggle when I heal twice the amount as second place.. and shammys just don't go down without a fight.
