I'm looking to dual box to level at least ONE warlock. What is the recommended setup for this? And which toon should be the "main" toon.
What specs are recommended for each toon as well. I'll most likely just be questing and random dungeons.
Appreciate your help :)
IMO Warlocks make excellent followers, their abilities work well in a /click castsequence in any of the three talent builds (all of which are powerful). I see little reason to have more than one lock in a team, but they are powerful enough DPS that multiple locks are definitely acceptable. In most of my teams I have found that the "main" toon was best chosen as the tank for PVE, PVP is a different beast.
I'd recommend some type of rezzer (priest, druid, pally, shaman). With only two toons I'd personally go druid + lock, though if you have the computing power you may be moving to 5 boxing soon (it's addicting)
I was going to put this in another thread, but saw this one and thought it would be appropriate here. I'm currently bringing up 3 locks together. I'm leveling them affliction because IMO that's the fastest way to level them. Once they hit 30 you have siphon life and your dots start giving you health back. At 35 I'm 3 boxing SM library and clearing it. Here's a screeny of my mini team downing Doan:

One toon dinged just before this kill. I can take 4 to 5 same level elite trash mobs at once by drain tanking. I use a void walker to tank, fel hunter for shadow bite, and an imp for Blood pact and fire sheild. I could probably get rid of the fel hunter and add another voidy to tank when the main tank void walker gets stunned, but so far this set up has worked out well. I love the locks for dps and their ability to heal themselvs... which then turns into mana when you tap. I rarely drink or eat now. Once you get your lock to 80 you'll probably want to spec destruction for pve. However, I feel that's a playstyle choice and have seen viable specs in each of the trees for pve.
I've dual boxed 2 locks to 68, and they are a lot of fun.
Up until Outland I had them both specced Destro, but after a little research I switched them to both to Demo and OMFG what a huge speed increase it gave me when questing.
The main runs a Voidwalker, while the slave runs a Felguard. Mobs are always kept at distance by the 2 pets while my girls dot-dot-sb in complete safety. If shit hits the fan I can use the Voidwalker's AOE taunt.
And as a bonus Fel Armour returns the health sacrificed when you Life Tap, there is no downtime at all.
Hows that spec on multiple mobs (more than five)? I'd be intersted because I haven't been a demo lock for a long time... pre Wrath. It sounds fun. As affliction, I can dot up everything in sight, tapping occasionaly, stopping to loot when everything is dead (the field is all sparkely). As long as the mobs aren't a more than a couple of levels above me, I don't have to drink at all. I single box my main like this as well. I used to farm netherweb spider silk this way. Drain tanking this way makes the kill/collect quests simple.Quote:

Hey guys. First time poster, and while not new to dual-boxing - used to use two comps with EQ - I am very new to WOW and triple boxing. I basically started fresh with everything.. IsBoxer, Jamba and WOW all together - and built my 3man group all BElf locks, reading that it is easier to do all the same classes in the beginning. I am having a blast, taking my time and just enjoying the content as a first time through. Might eventually go to 5man, but just trying to get the hang of things right now.
Currently have all three at 17 with their best gear being quest/trash mob upgrades. Questing in Ghostlands, etc.. Been reading up on dungeons and was curious if I should start hitting the one in Westfall (says lvl 17-25ish) now or just continue moving through quests, etc.. Also curious if the 3man Lock team is viable to stick with. I know at 17, I haven't really scraped the surface on what my team is capable of. Thanks for any feedback. I am open to any suggestions for my lock-centric group.
I started dual boxing with Pally and lock on follow. quite simple to start withQuote:
