Looking for a 4th

Hello everyone. First time posting and happy to find these forums. I just started multiboxing a couple of weeks ago with the return of classic and I’m using ISBoxer. So keeping in mind that I’m still getting the hang of this I’m looking for some advice. Right now I’m running with warrior, mage and shammy (chain heals) but just started another account and curious what you’d suggest for a 4th. I was thinking a few options. I usually have the shammy casting spells with the mage so I’m thinking of another caster to keep things simple.

Druid: (balance probably) back up tank, combat rez, back up heals, gow and thorns
Mage: very simple with other mage
warlock: soul stone, hearthstone, summon, pets
Hunter: pet, traps
priest: back up heals, mind control, Stam buff

thoughts?

I would do a DPS class which shouldn't have mana issues nor add much complexity and would likely do Mage or Warlock & between those 2 Warlock has the greatest added utility.

If/when you decide on a 5th adding a Mage should give you a strong 5man group with the inherent benefits of strong synergistic DPS from range.

I do like the utility of the lock but I’m a bit worried about the complexity, being pretty new to multiboxing. With the mage it’s been pretty much 2-3 buttons for almost all of the encounters. Locks and their dots might be a bit more than I can handle but I’ll looking into what a set up might look like. Thanks.

I am sensitive to added complexity and am pretty sure a Warlock can be played pretty much like a Mage with some exceptions (can't AoE while moving, etc).

If I read the following recommended macro right it a Warlock could just have a single button to apply 2 dots and their spam their DPS shadow bolt:

Maybe another new boxer who has tried adding a Warlock to a Mage DPS team can speak to whether he/she found it adding much complexity and/or whether the added complexity was more than outweighed by the utility.

Just watching the Warlock 'Eye of Killrog' video seals the deal for me that 1 Warlock+2 Mages is ideal:

Macro it, one button smash on warlock. /Castsequence DOT DOT DOT next.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Think I’m going with warlock for the utility and some extra AOE.
