So I currently have two WoW accounts, one with a hunter and the other with a holy priest. Both are at the T6 level gear level.

Out of boredom and wanting to do something new, I have been levelling a warrior on the hunter's account. The thinking is that since the priest is an enchanter with some good patterns, she could could twink the lowbie nicely. (And she has - dual lifestealing is wonderful.)

Well, the warrior hit 50 last night and I took her into ST with the priest in order to do the class quest. That didn't work so well. I ended up having to leave the warrior outside, bring the hunter in to clear the trash, then bring the warrior back in for the troll minibosses. (Fast respawn timers ftl.) I'd planned to try farming the last boss a few times to get the warrior a couple of weapon upgrades, but that's not looking so hot now. My hunter can clear the place easily, but the respawns are fast - at least up top.

So now I'm thinking it sure would be a lot easier to have all three on at once. I'd do the third account in a heartbeat if I could just do another subscripton instead of having to buy another copy of the war chest. :)

Anyways, just sharing. /Salute to those of you running 5 or more toons.

If you the invite a friend trial, you can upgrade online for $20 (classic version). Don't know if that works the same with other trial accounts.
You can also upgrade from classic to BC online for $30.

I have three now (Troll Shammys) and I love it. But need to upgrade my computer before I can get 2 more. But serously three is so much better than 2, you can do so much more and so far questing has not been to bad. I mean yes it gets a bit boring doing some of the collection quest but your able to kill things pretty fast and so far I have been doing every quest avalibale to me, even those that are red for me. Oh and kill quest are super easy and getting groups for instances has not been to bad.

Anyway, defently get the 3rd toon !!!!

Yah, theoretically, the 70 hunter and priest would make good party mates for running behind the warrior up into at least the lvl60 dungeons and the smaller tbc groups, but I find the overhead of running two toons at once to be a drag after awhile. I could easily have the priest non-grouped with the warrior, but on follow for absolutely zero downtime, but I kinda like being out on the edge there. :) (Although I will admit that I've travelled the priest out to a tougher levelling spot to save the warrior ghost runs. heh)

I just recently upgraded to a nice quad core machine and have the juice to run these, I just need the additional monitors. :)

Update: I decided the new warrior will complete the first dungeon set and the epic questline to upgrade it.

So what better way to guarantee the farming runs needed than drag her along behind a pair of epicced 70's? :D

I popped over to Walmart yesterday for War Chest (39.46 + tax), did the invite a friend thing for the third account, transferred the warrior to that account and did nearly a full brd clear with all three last night. Fun Fun!

Cheers!
