Paladin/Warrior dual box What to do?

I've started leveling a paladin and warrior team, and I am wondering the best course to dual box. I don't know which specs I should go to make leveling the easiest, and I surely do not know which character to make the main, which probably depends on the talents as well. For example, should I use my paladin to tank and warrior to dps, or warrior to tank/dps and paladin to heal, or a combination of both where the paladin and warrior both dps and the paladin spot heals. I can't find any information about anyone else doing this, so I am looking for some much-needed help. I am brand new to dualboxing, but my first set will be paladin/warrior, and I am looking for advice. Thanks!

Since you are only doing two characters and will not be able to run instances I would think going all out dps would be your best option in order to complete quests as fast as possible. For DPS on the pali you are going to be boosting your spell damage which has the side benefit of increasing your healing power even if you aren't speced for it. This should allow for effective spot healing.

I thought that way too. Which should I use as main?

That's a very good question. I would lean towards the warrior but I don't think it matters all that much. I would imagine you would spec them both for pure dps and I doubt it will matter who has the aggro. Probably your best bet is to play around with it and get a feel for what is right for you. This is all pure speculation on my part though as I've never played a warrior and my paladin is pure protection for tanking. As far as tanking goes they both are great tanks. The paladin is definately a better multi target tank and the warrior gets the edge in single target tanking.

That's why I was thinking of making the paladin prot so he would surely be able to tank anything that came our way and even use him to AOE mobs down at higher level, if I used my warrior as the main then I don't use the paladin to it's full potential except to dps and spot heal, since I would be more worried about keeping my warrior alive in deadly situations. Paladins are harder to kill in any sense so if he is my main I can purely focus on him indeed, but I would definitely like to see if anyone else has done this before.

any reason why you are doing paladin warrior?
it is not a good duo due to both being melee so they are harder to dps with.
you can't just charge around and chain dps mobs cuz you gotta keep positioning so both will hit. the time it takes to pull and position is not worth it for non elite mobs.

honestly you will actually go faster just speccing warrior fury and maxing his dps and just drag the paladin for aura and blessing of might and heals when needed
that way you don't spend time pulling or setting up just go from mob to mob with no down time

Yikes 2 melee classes

For just straight up questing and leveling I would think you would want to go Ret on the Paladin and Fury on the warrior. This should give you the highest overall dps. As already stated by , doing all melee groups are tougher for boxing. There are people here doing it though, so its far from impossible.

Actually these to melee won't be that hard to control. Make you pally the main, don't spec him tank (i find it hard to kill stuff spec as tank, sure you can take a lot of damage but things take longer to kill. You probably in the end take the same amount because you can kill stuff fast you don't take that much damage the other you kill stuff slow and take little damage but more of it). Having you pally as main try to keep the mob on you and have the warrior stay in berserk stance (more damage output in that stance, but will take more damage so if the mob is on the pally don't have to worry about the down side). The other reason to have main as pally is that the alt is always behind you, but when you start to attack you enemy you don't have to pull it back to the warrior to attack, just have the warrior do charge and that will bring the warrior into position.

I level a pally/warrior combo and its working pretty well once I figured an easy way to get the 2nd character to melee.

I have the warrior as my main and pally as my slave.

Key setup:

Warrior:-

1 Charge
2 Rend
3 Heroic Strike

Paladin
1 Cast First seal (currently using Crusader)
2 Righteous defense (Taunt)
3 macro, Judgement/2nd seal (Currently Righteousness)

So I charge on the warrior/cast first seal on the pally, I want untill the pally is close, hit 2 to rend and taunt, at this point the mob moves to melee range of the pally, once the pally hits she will stop following the warrior. I then hit 3 for heroic strike/judgement. From there the mob is probably almost dead. if not I just hit 3 a few more times and they die pretty quick.

I speced prot on my pally, currently arms on the warrior, I will switch to fury later on. The reason for Arms is its very easy to get 2 Nice blue weapons that last you from 15 to 45, the first is from ghostlands its a blue sword from killing the leader guy in Deatholme, the 2nd which you can get at 30 with help is the level 40 warrior quest axe,

Wow. Thanks for all the advice. The reason I have a paladin and warrior is because I already have a shaman, mage, rogue, druid, and warlock. I was thinking about making a hunter and a priest some other time, but I mainly wanted to have a warrior and a paladin. I had no idea that people would think dual melee as a bad idea, otherwise I would have probably made a hunter instead, but I've always wanted a paladin and warrior more anyways.

I started 2-box and as soon as I got my paladin to 60, I did Outlands with my 60 prot warrior at the time.

But I was also running a prot paladin, so I re-spec to arms warrior and it was great on questing as my prot pally just wont die, and my arms warrior help kill things fast.

There was no keyclone at the time, so I was 2-boxing old school style with 2 keyboards and 2 computers.

Nowadays, my 70 warrior rots and have been replaced by a 70 resto shaman. My warrior is a BS/Miner so he's good for something.

My paladin is still prot and active.
