Hey there,
I've been lurking on this forum for a while now, and want to thank everyone for their contributions. Here's my story and questions:
I took a paladin to 70 on my single account. I had a warrior twinked at 39, but the 39s were getting a bit old and I discovered upon hitting 70 that my paladin was not what I really enjoyed playing - I'm good at it, but honestly, I'm very disappointed in the state of the paladin, yet I hate to not use it for something. I had heard about Dual-boxing from Youtube WoW videos, so I decided to move my 70 pally over to a second account and healbot my warrior to 70. So far, it has worked really well, I run two different machines, one with each account, and have set up a basic /target Warrior /follow Warrior macro for the paladin.
Now my warrior is 64, specced DW Fury (insane dps) and I'm pondering PvP at 70. I realize that there would be some disadvantages going into a battleground with two characters, but my thought is that a free healer for following my warrior might be a bonus. The obvious issue (to me anyway) will be my pally getting CC'd or silenced. Here's where I'm puzzled - is there any way to force a distance on your follow command?
i.e.
/target Warrior
/follow Warrior 20 (as in 20 in-game yards) or some such
I figured I'd create macros for easy auto-targeting / healing on keypress
i.e.
/target Warrior (or /target Self)
/cast Flash of Light (Rank 9)
Anyway, do you guys have any thoughts or experience doing this? If I have success doing this, I was considering making my own 2v2 Arena team to farm points (doubtful I'll win, but hey, anything is possible if you're fighting undergeared noobs...) :)
I'd spec my Paladin heavy prot with some Holy so he wouldn't die so quickly, my warrior would be Arms. In AV I could probably pull off a Prot / Prot-holy combo for tanking Drek, but I'd rather be Arms...
