A few questions from a semi-newb (2 month boxer)

[hotdogsrgross]

So, I figured I would ask some questions I have been saving up. I like being independent and figuring out things on my own, but why do that when this community is so good at helping others???

I play 3 to 5 mages, level 39 currently....kind of (a few need to catch up, hence "3 to 5")

1. What do you guys do when you get feared? I plan on getting both trinkets later on (only lvl 39 right now) but for now im just hitting my WotF as fast as possible, then scrambling to get back together. Any tips/tricks?

2. Is there a way I can make an "intelligent" macro for potions? So, if player 1 and 3 could use to hit a pot, it will only hit a pot on those? (If HP = <50%, then)?

3. What is the best way to level at 39 - 70? Quests, Instances, Both? % wise on each if both?

4. Loot, banks, AH....do you use one char to do all of this, or split the load between them?

5. Addons. I use a TON of addons.....should I limit those to specific characters, limit them all together...or is there a short list of addons that would be the "Must have" list for multiboxers?

6. Has anyone noticed a change in /follow since the last patch? I seem to be getting hung up on crap a lot more often....and just more buggy all-together.

All I can think of for right now. Thanks in advance for the responses. :)

I am by no means an expert, started about a week ago lol

I guess there is not much difference between wotf and trinkets. just have to react quick i guess, since you cant use tremor totems ;)
If you're fighting in a room, maybe try and stand near a wall, so all your toons run in the same direction (and stay somewhat close together)



2. Is there a way I can make an "intelligent" macro for potions? So, if player 1 and 3 could use to hit a pot, it will only hit a pot on those? (If HP = <50%, then)?

dunno about this, i doubt macros go as far as that tho. I'm sure a mod could prevent your healthier toons to use their pot, and have you only use the pot if your health is under a certain %



3. What is the best way to level at 39 - 70? Quests, Instances, Both? % wise on each if both?

i've done alot of toons solo so this time i decided to boost the new ones as ffast as possible.
Zolo boosting, to 40 then i'll try the BRD lycaeum boosting or back to zolo until 55ish if brd doesnt work.



4. Loot, banks, AH....do you use one char to do all of this, or split the load between them?

At the moment the main loots all, then sends batches of stuff to clones when space is needed (like clone b stores all cloth, clone c stores food/pots herbs etc)



5. Addons. I use a TON of addons.....should I limit those to specific characters, limit them all together...or is there a short list of addons that would be the "Must have" list for multiboxers?

Personal preferance i guess. i use decursive, Multiboxer, ZQB, titan, SCT and so many more >.<

nope didnt notice any change on my side
