So I am new to the boxing area I have played around for a few months. I will be starting fresh and was hoping to have 2 SP. I am rolling horde and have decided to go with undead. any advice or sugestions. I have seen muti boxed warlocks and priests but never with several priests. Should I skip the lock and go with all priest?
Go with two warlocks. You defintiely gain benefit from that first priest, but much less from the second. Spec the priest with misery and shadow weaving to give the warlocks the most benefit. Gem up your priest with resilience and stamina gems, make him as much of a tank as possible because shadow priests die very fast otherwise.
All priests... well the main issues are they go oom and have no way to get it back. In long fights my priests go oom long before the warlocks and I'm pretty much just using the priests to lead the warlocks around at that point - they don't cast anything. Second, their only nuke has a cooldown, so you can't spam it and if you get lucky enough to get a bloodlust in your group it doesnt you very little good.
I'm all for grouping a priest with a warlock group, and I kind of cringe at warlock only groups (no dispell, no mass dispell, no resz, no shields, no misery + shadow weaving +15% shadow damage, etc.), but with multiple priests you just get diminishing returns
The reason I was thinking having 2 SP was for the healing that they could give while fighting. I have had a 70 SP but never a Warlock this will be interesting. :) I loved my SP but since I am new at this do you sugest anything other combination to start with? I have always had issues getting into shamans when leveling I think I have tried three times never getting past 30. I currently have a warrior, pally, hunter, and a mage all being 70.
Should I pony up the extra money and get a 4th account? what do you dislike about your setup?
Sorry for all the question. I'm a Noob
I think you would have more fun with four accounts or five.
What don't I like about my setup?
Not having a fifth I think. I definitely want at least a third warlock. I love the first shadow priest and would not play a group without one, the extra shadow damage, blackouts, and dispells are just crucial. With mass dispell I destroy paladins and stupid aoe spamming mages who think they can ice block out of my silence and then win. My favorite move on low health bubblers is miss dispell then instantly deathx2 and shadowburnx2.
I do make the most of the second priest though. They are macroed so that they can dispel each other (if my main priest is feared, death coiled, dotted, sheeped, etc.), and each priest has a warlock buddy that they dispel. Shadow weaving also stacks twice as fast when I have two of them, and blackout procs on almost everyone.
One thing I really want a third warlock for is another curse. One warlock always uses elements for 13% more shadow damage, another uses agony for damage. The third could use tongues, weakness, or exhaustion.
I think my perfect group would either be 2 sp 3 locks, or 1sp 4 locks. In the expansion when psychic scream essentially becomes an aoe death coil, may be nice to have two as well.
But if I only had 3, I would definitely do 1 sp 2 locks.
I well there it is I will be getting two new accounts. I figure if I do it now it will save me from leveling another later. Do you use any addons that you could not live without? I use keyclone and a few simple ones for a ui.Quote:

I think the only addon I really need is multiboxer v2, but it really only provides a few things you can do with some /script macros
Auto accept rez and such.
Good call going with 5 though. When I was about 60 on 4 of the toons I debated boosting the 3rd lock up to 60 before I started the long grind to 70..,. wish I had
