Multiboxing so far & the next project

[Deku]

Hi everyone! I've been reading the forums for a few months now but haven't gotten around to posting anything until now. I was really glad to find this community when I started out & some of the advice has been invaluable.

I've recently finished with my first team - quad-boxed Warlocks. I play on just one pc with one screen and have been using keyclone & the "no focus" macros that someone posted last year. It's worked really well for me.

I'm now thinking about making a 2nd team of 3 characters, mainly aimed at pve instancing. I'd like to use 3 different classes this time around, so I'd like to ask for advice on what classes people would recommend? Ideally I'd like to have a standard tank/dps/healer team. I don't really know where to begin to be honest so the only information that i can provide is that i have a soft spot for Dranei & shamans

Thanks in advance!

If you have 4 accounts, why a team of 3?

Perhaps one account with a higher level character to power level with?

Ah sorry, i forgot to mention i levelled my first team with RAF which has now expired. I'm going to start 2 new accounts with RAF with the intention of levelling all 3 at the same time.

So anyway, to simplify my main question: What 3 classes would people recommend to use for a 3-man team? i.e. pally/warrior/druid tank, a dps & a healer

it depends what your goals are.
if you are looking to do instance runs then a "holy trinity team" is a good bet (Tank/DPS/healer). whereas if you are PVP focused then 3x high burst DPS would suit you more

tbh.. i would level up quite a few characters and then play around till you find the teams you want to run with. I did this and then cut my characters down from 36 to 16 (3x groups of 5 - listed in my sig and a bank alt)

running 3x Hunters, Locks or Druids is a blast (literally :thumbsup: ) also once you have 1 of toon at 55 on each account than you can try the 3x DK group

For primarily PvE instancing, as a 3-boxer...

The tank can sometimes be hard to find.
The healer can sometimes be hard to find.
You almost never have an issue finding dps.

Some of the major raid buffs which make instances easier:
- Arcane Intellect, from a Mage.
- Fortitude, from a Priest.
- Kings, from a Paladin.
- Mark of the Wild, from a Druid.

I'd personally go with a Paladin tank, although a Druid is very workable.
Druids and Priests both make exceptional healers.
Boomkin and Shadow Priests are nice damage, I like the priests Mind Control in instances.

If you're set on a Shaman, I'd go Elemental as a DPS for your set up.
IMO, a Paladin is the best tank for a Shaman, Mana Spring will help the tank, healer and at least 1/3rd of the DPS.
Even with Blessing of Wisdom not stacking with Mana Spring, the pally would definitely want Sanctuary on themselves.
Other classes will benefit from Kings quite well.

I've already got 5 shammies, so I'd go... Pally Tank, Shadow Priest and Resto Druid.
But if you want the shammy (fun class), I'd take Elemental Shammy and:
One of Druid Tank or Paladin Tank; and
One of Disc/Holy Priest or Resto Druid.
