Hello and Thanks! 4xShaman - Multi Boxing Beginner

Hey guys

I just started multi boxing - I was pretty hardcore into raiding and all that but its been so boring and pvp is getting boring - basically everything was boring. Then I started reading about multi boxing. Anyways it a lot of fun and I actually enjoy playing wow again.


I play 4 shaman on Burning Blade Alliance side. I am only using one computer. I was playing with the maximizer but I found that it was just annoying - I have a 22wich screen monitor and I just felt like there wasnt enough room on the monitor to house everyone at one time. So I just play with the followers minimized. It may be a very primitive method but I havent had any issues yet. I cleared VC @lvl 19 and when I got healing totem (which is really OP BTW) I did VC, WC, and SF with total ease. Everyone is lvl 24 now and moving at an ok pace. I am using keyclone which seems to work 95% of the time. And I use a couple simple macros (assist, follow, focus). I am stiill playing with different things people suggest to see if i can use it or not.

I wanted to thank all the people that took the time to write up guides and such because it helped a lot. I feel like to multi box no matter what you need to figure a lot out on your own but the guide did make it easier for sure.


So far i have found that instances are fun but quests seem to get me XP a bit faster. It may be because some of these early instances are pretty lengthy **COUGH WAILING CAVERNS COUGH** Also I am only going into an instance designed for 5 with 4 - tho most wow players will admit that most pugs are like playing with 3 or less!!! :)

The only issue I have had is talking to NPCS - once the chat window is open, there is no problem using a macro to pummel thru the screens but just simply opening the window in the first place. I read something about a way to deal with this but i dont know anything about acecomm and I didnt understand how to set it up so i just avoid whenever possible (sharing quests etc).

Anyways its a lot of fun

thats awesome.



But if you look at it, doing quests get good XP points, but when doing them and you take down a mob you only get 1/4 of the XP of killing it alone. instead of 100 XP you only get 25 as you share it in the party.

doing an instance gets cool gear and much more XP compared to grinding it out. on average you will get 300 or better on each kill.

I am using a 5 man shaman plow on kilrogg alliance, yes a plow as we are very strong!I like the reactions of people on there as you take down mobs that are considerably much higher than we are, players will follow and yell that we are cheating, but I have noticed a change in attitude lately of tolerance and acceptance.........



Just my 2 cents 8)

HAHA yeah i think i am the only person on Burning Blade doing it right now.

Sometimes people will see my toons and just follow me around for 5-10 minutes to watch what i am up to.



Typically in this situation I use a marco i made to circle around that person and /dance x 4 :thumbsup:

Im around 42 with 4x shams on BB, horde side though >_<
