Noob Team To Start Multiboxing? Only Dual Box! No RaF 1-85!

So what would be a nice team to play and learn about multiboxing for a newbie? Only dualboxing, what race/vocation should I choose? Not looking for a easy but a good one that will make me research a well amount to master it, that way I can learn from it.

Anyways, I still havent decided about the tool I want I'm between isBoxer and PwnBoxer... any insight about em?

Thanks again!

EDIT:

Anyways, I'm not really good with wow rofl! ya :D I'm more a of a moba player, so I got high APM, fast thinking if that means anything.... Thats probably the main reason I want to start multiboxing...

Paladin + Shaman.

If you can master tank + heals, DPS is really just a nudge in the same direction.

For the software, nothing is as good as IS Boxer.
Although a lot of the functionality exists in HKN, if you're willing to learn/write your own scripts.

From people who have used both, Pwnboxer is easier to use when beginning.
But having not used it, I cannot say how it is easier than running an IS Boxer wizard and having a hotkey for follow, invite the party, and auto assist without needing any knowledge of warcraft macros.



Many of the features in Pwnboxer seem to be weaker versions of IS Boxer features:
Repeater Region (ISB) vs Mouse Clickmapping (PB)
With a Repeater Region, you can have a modifier held when the mouse enters the region, you can decide which slot receives the clicks, you can have a group be the target so two of your five toons receive the clicks... you can use a mapped key to modify how the repeater region works in play.
Mouse Clickmapping is like a Repeater Region that sends the clicks to one target.

Clickbars (ISB) vs Dockable Clickmapping (PB)
The IS Boxer feature links to a Mapped Key, which can do a vast number of things ranging from adding a DPS toon to your healer group, so they'll also heal... to activating/deactivating another mapped key, to the straight click here and this key is broadcast (which is what you can do with PB's Dockable Clickmapping).

Video Feeds (ISB) vs Magnification Region (PB)
I'd rather have a video feed, from the slave unit to the master than an area of the slaves window which is larger on the master's screen.
This is about the only feature that the two have, that PB had first.
Although Video Feeds are far more powerful/flexible than the simpler feature of Pwnboxer.



Check out the respective forums for the two programs.

Lax and Tim are both fairly responsive to questions on how to get their product working.
Lax however will push out updates much more frequently (50x as often); someone wanted to play Realm of the Mad God (a Flash or Steam game), and now there is support for playing any Steam/Flash game with IS Boxer.
The list of games that you can use IS Boxer for is very long; PB works with a lot of games, but not nearly as many and if it doesn't work there's not much chance PB will support it; conversely, Lax has adapted IS/IS Boxer to work with numerous games.

The IS Boxer site has an extensive wiki to look up things.
There is a massive number of guides from its users, on how to do things in a multitude of other games beyond just Warcraft.
There is an IRC, which gets much faster support, than any other boxing program...

@Ualaa, not quoting since long post...

Well and its cheaper wtf! :D 10 bucks 90 days... 30~ a year... against 45~ yaerr from pwnboxer... hum well thats a thing to think about it...

thanks bro and any suggestion on the duo? :D

2x DPS will be the easiest approach.
1x Tank + 1x Heals, will be the shortest queues if you do Dungeon Finder.

I'd start with Druids or Paladins, because they make amazing boosters.... should you choose to add additional accounts down the road.
Druids can be Tanks, Healers, Range DPS, or Melee DPS.
Paladins can be Tanks, Healers, or Melee DPS.

Nothing else can be both a tank and a healer.
Although there are a lot of overlap options too.
Shaman can be Melee DPS, Ranged DPS and Heals.

If you know you're going to be playing two, and that is it.
Maybe go with 2x of each class.
Start with the classes you enjoy the most.
Collections won't be as painful with only two.
And kills will be that much quicker.



You could go:
a) Druid + Druid
b) Paladin + Paladin
c) Warrior + Shaman
d) Death Knight + Priest

That gets you all four tanking types, and all four healing types.
The Warrior could partner with an Enh shaman, who would heal via Healing Stream Totem after fights.
The Druids could be both Moonkin or both Feral (I like Feral more in Cata).
Paladins would likely be double Ret, but you could run double Holy.

Really, go with whatever you like.

And what about a priest and a warrior? since I got already a paladin level 45 on one account and a 80 on another, but I've never played a priest and I really want to make one... maybe I could exp a priest to 55 then man up with a DK... @@ confused :D

Only suggested those four, because you were thinking of two accounts only.
And Druids/Paladins can tank + heal already.

Warriors and DK's are tank classes that don't heal.
Partner them however you like, with a Priest and Shaman who do heal.

Pally tank, disc priest heals go attonement spec and win

Damn I'm trying to manage warrior+ priest, the warrior is the slave and the priest is the main... But... I can't manage to work it good, I'm trying to use "Interact with target" so the warrior go first, but if the target move he just walk till the last position of the target then I have to spam "G" the key I'm using for it, is there any way I can make it work good? Like he runs to the target, and attack it, even if the target moves he continue to follow it and attacking? BTW, I'm using pwnboxer... Gonna buy isboxer monday...

thanks...

Edit: Here is the thing I want it to work, teh warrior is the pet, the priest is the hunter LOL! :D

Edit2: Looks like I'm gonna have to def use isBoxer for these work properly, at least the video I just watched about looks like will work for what I want... ZZzz hope the trial let me do these things...

Edit3: Bah fuck it, going 2 druids :D this ain't working the way I thought =D

Edit4: HAHA 2 Druids nice! :D damn its being a blast almost level 10 :D rofl I'm like a children here laughing by myself :D so good multiboxing

and yeah this post is my diary FU! :D

IWT requires click to move to be enabled.

For PvE, you want to push it selectively.
Push it once, and your melee toons move in.
If the mob moves, push it again to readjust your positioning.

For PvP, you want to spam the crap out of the key.
So your toons will constantly overrun the target and run back.
Which is very similar to the rogue swarming the target tactic.
You do lose a bit of DPS with all the movement, but the target loses some too... and if they're a caster, they'll lose a lot of spells entirely.

If you spam the key, or sometimes if the target dies as you push it...
Your toon will "run off".
You'll want slave independent movement bound.
So you can "down-arrow" the slave only, to break the movement.
You'll also likely want to have your follow key, very easily accessible.





You can play on your melee with the casters as slaves.
Have the healer and/or any ranged classes break follow.
And continue on with the melee.
If you have multiple melee, use IWT.

If you're driving your tank.
Or if you've only got the tank as a melee...
Consider using their Charge ability, once they're in range.

You should be able to heal, from any toon.
Because of Healbot/Grid/Vuhdo and an alphabetical sort.
With a Repeater Region over the whole frame, broadcasting those clicks to the healer(s).

Similarly, you should be able to IWT the melee...
From any window.

And really, you can bounce back and forth from one window to another...
And be in whatever window is most advantageous for a given situation.
Maybe the healer is a good window, because you're back from the fight and can watch for adds or a bosses phase/stage.
Then you need to move the boss or changes its facing, so you switch to the tank for that.
Etc.

@Ualaa

Ya I need practice a lot... But I'm gonna stick with this dual druids, looks nice and I have never played a druid so :D it's being really good, I'm even thinking about stop the duo a bit, get another account, put it 10 and do a trio! :D LOL <thinking!>

I'd go with dual Feral, but you can go with dual Boomkin too.

If you go with Boomers, Mercurio's two-step macro will be fine, as long as you avoid the Sunfire/Lunar Shower talents.

Code:

---

Main macro: /assist focus /castsequence Moonfire,Insect Swarm,Wrath,Wrath,Wrath,Wrath,Wrath,Wrath,Wrath, Wrath, Wrath,Moonfire,Insect Swarm,Wrath,Wrath,Wrath,Starfire,Starfire,Starfire,Moonfire,Insect Swarm,Starfire,Starfire,Starfire,Starfire,Starfire,Starfire

---

Code:

---

Proc macro: /assist focus
/castsequence Starsurge
/cast [noform] Moonkin Form
/use 13
/use 14

---

If you go with Feral, I was using a pretty simple macro that did not depend on facing.

Code:

---

#show
<insert assist>
/castsequence reset=5 Mangle(Cat Form), Rake(Cat Form), Mangle(Cat Form), Mangle(Cat Form), Rip(Cat Form)

---

Then you'd use the same IWT, as you would for the Warrior.
Possibly open with pouce/feral charge from stealth.

@ualaa,

I think I'm going with the boomers and now it's 3! LOL got another account now rofl... I need to get used with IWT so I will try to use a bit of feral too on the way up, since boomkin s only after level 40 or something I think... And I have to get used with IWT if I want to be a good boxer anyway...

And thanks for these macros will help me a lot :)

If you're going with IS Boxer, I'd "integrate" your IWT into your DPS spam.

The method I used, integrates it, so it is automatically send as part of your DPS spam.
But then I made a toggle, so you can enable/disable the IWT.
This is how I did it: http://www.dual-boxing.com/threads/3...469#post312469

I have a couple 2 man teams... I used to do 5, but got expensive...

I have a bear / priest group - my druid is my farmer (so I will level her first in MoP) and my priest is atonement. Its really easy to box since the priest is smite healing. I drive with the bear...

I have two pally's and two mages. I have been doing daily's with pally tank / arcane mage... its really easy. I just recently have leveled the second group.

I'm thinking about leveling MoP pally / pally and mage / mage but haven't decided yet. I might keep them pally / mage depending on how scenarios work out in MoP. I've done the LFR in Cata with my priest smite healing and my pally as dps... Not too bad although the RNG of the Ret Pally spec right now doesn't put my dps anywhere near the top. I haven't dualed my mages yet as they are not geared similarly - one mage is in 378's while the other is sitting in some greens.

I've been messing around with them as we get ready for MoP - I really can't wait to get on beta to see what will be best...

I read all the time that there is synergy using the same class and dual boxing heroic 5 mans is probably easier... But pally tank / arcane mage is quite a bit of fun... You just gather everything up and let the mage burn them down... its really fast. The tank can take the damage and cast a word of glory if needed and the mage never get's touched..I don't know how much fun leveling the same group up twice will be in the expansion tho...
