Wanting to try 3 accounts

[Alleyne]

I'm getting a new PC in a week or so that will hopefully be able to run 3 WoWs fine and my RAF has run out with my main account and my second account so I was thinking about Referring a third account up from my second account then boosting both accounts on my Druid from my main account to get a third shaman to 60. Then I was planning on leveling them all up to 70 but was just wondering how hard that would actually be without the triple xp anymore. Also would it be worth the trouble of setting up macros and such all over again for the 10 levels?

I don't plan on buying 3 copies of WotLK or well at least until they go to about £15 each for the second and third account ones.

I did have alot of fun dualboxing 2 Priests and 2 Shamans up to 60 and the fact I got tons of free levels

Also when my RAF was running I never tried any melee classes while dualboxing and just done my shammies up as Elemental, would it be easy to go from 60-70 as Enhancement?

So yeah would it also be hard trying to fit the 3 WoWs on the same screen? Getting a new 19" screen but wouldn't wanna try it if I could like barely read anything off any of them :/

To answer a couple of your questions...


They just nerfed the XP required to level from 60 - 70 so it will be easier than it originally was.

Most people on here dont suggest melee, as its more difficult positioning and such than ranged classes are.

in reply to your "should i set up macros" question the answer is yes. time spent learning it thoroughly now and setting up properly is the key to making it work properly. yes you can use 1 as a healer alt but would that be any use of a third account? or would you rather use the third as a dpser with the option to heal as well as the other 3 and that way power through quests faster than before.

also a tip, if your going to add a third account use RAF from your second account not your first. (you could then give levels to 2 accounts not from 2 accounts to the 1 account ect).

Ok so if melee generally take more time and such positioning them would it be better in your opinion to have 1 as Resto for healing the whole group up, 1 as Enhancement and one as Ele or just all 3 as Ele and spam lightning bolts until all the mobs are dead and have macros for healing each character?

3x elemental

If you're going shammies, I'd have them all Elemental.
It's good damage, and they're good enough healers for most situations.

If you were going with a tank and a dedicated healer, I'd really recommend a Dreamstate Druid.
Mainly because you're capable of strong damage and strong heals in one-spec.
Gearing is pretty simple, you scale off of INT, SPT and Spell Power.
Druid + Tank + Ranged DPS would be a pretty good three-some.

All the same class, Shammies all the way.
Boomkins are a decent option too, but probably not as strong.
I like that with dual-specialization in the expansion... you can have primary and secondary spec.
So you could go Boomkin-Feral, Boomkin-Feral, Dreamstate-Feral.
Stealth to whatever you want and blow it up. Or alternatively have a half-decent tank set on one of more toons and play it safe with Tank, Dps and Heals.

Just leveled / Gifted up a 60 warrior and a 60 priest and did the first bunch of hellfire quests (honor hold ones and most of the east hellfire ones) and both toons ding'ed 61. I haven't even touched anything from the temple of telhamat yet. And my 3 shaman went from 65-70 in 3 days after the xp Nerf.

I used to run out of quests in Hellfire, and need to run Ramparts/Furnace once each, to reach 62nd.
My four-shammy team was almost 63 when I left Hellfire.

I'm into 67 already, and have not finished the Terrokar quests.

My progression is the same, following the Brian Kopp alliance quest guide.
So... Hellfire - Zangamarsh - Terrokar - Nagrand - Blade's Edge Mountains - Netherstorm - Shadowmoon Valley.

As a bonus, the quest stacking guide is efficient completion of the quests he choose to do.
Which means efficient stacking of an awful lot of gold-farming, once the leveling is done.
