Rogue Multi boxing

[uber_elf]

I havent actually started or tried it yet but im thinking of leveling like a mage and a rogue together using keyclone. I am not sure how i would do that because i would have to mess with the movement wouldnt I? I suppose i could just play the rogue and keyclone the mage but i am wondering if there is a way to play the mage and have the keyclone working on the rogue.....thanks

Rogues are fun to make, 2 rogues is a blast, 3 rogues is a joke, burn everything down in 2 buttons.

As for your mage rogue idea, a couple options

A.) rogue would be main, mage pulls and rogue would step back and attack with mage.

B.) Mage pulls with low threat move so rogue can easily pull off.

C.)If you have mage on follow, learn the command to make him stop follow. Then press follow button to continue on.

The only thing about rogue mage combo is, no team synergy.

Mage supports intellect and slowing (either arcane or through frost), also food and water, and portals.
Rogue needs AP, agility.
Neither class supports eachother, but you do get portals.

But, when theres a will theres a way, go rock it.

I multi-boxed a rogue and druid to 70. Just using multiplicity on 2 computers, and using a gamepad to control the druid; didn't know about keyclone at the time. It worked pretty well. You have some options as to what to spec the druid, resto is easiest and you can just plow through mobs without worrying about the rogues health. You can also stealth with both characters, which makes questing much easier.

I'm still new to the multiboxing but since I started I have been testing how to work classes together. I only dualbox so beyond that I've got nothin. From what I've found the Rogue/Druid combo works great as stated prior to my post. I use keyclone as well and how I have it set up is on my slave account I keybound a key (f1 in my case) to strafe my slave toon to the right, this breaks his follow command. I attached /follow ______ to the end of the normal melee attack to work as a pickup button to rejoin follow. I stealth my rogue, strafe my druid to break the follow command, and begin ranged on the target while my rogue creeps towards it.

As far as a Mage/Rogue combo it would bring a great deal of DPS to the table but as stated before, lack of synergy. Meaning your mage is only really helping your mage and your rogue only helping himself as far as utility and buffs go. This does not mean it wouldn't work, though. As I said, that combo will generate a lot of DPS. You will, as I'm sure you've figured, have to be extra careful when multi-pulling as you gain no heals from either class to compensate for damage taken with multiple adds. But this can easily be avoided.

So I guess my advice is keybind a button you don't use for strafe to break the follow and create (or use another way I'm not yet aware of) a hotkey to put the Mage back on follow. This is also being said under the impression you run the Rogue as your main. I would think running the Mage but controlling the Rogues movements may be a bit difficult as your camera will be following the mage and not the rogue. However, I suppose you could do this by keybinding keys for your rogue off keys you do not use. Perhaps make f1 your rogues forward movement, f2 back, f3 strafe right, etc. It would take a great deal of concentration and practice but I'm sure with enough patience someone could get it to work efficiently. Best of luck to you and I hope that offers some help albiet recapping previous help, haha.
