Couple quick videos showing multiboxing melee (Paladins)

[Ughmahedhurtz]

I do something similar to Nisch, though I usually run just to the side of the mob instead of right through it. That way I only have to turn my main 90 degrees to attack, and if the mob "rubber-bands" a little, it's usually to the side so the alts still have the mob in their frontal arc and can still attack.

[Nisch]

One thing I noticed is that the 9696969 rotation works rather well and you're constantly having things go off on the mob. You can juggle between JoL and JoW on the main/alts in order to keep mana at full, while also passive healing through most fights.

Unless I'm getting hit for like 10K+ a pop, I can usually heal myself through any fight. Perhaps with higher defense on your main and nice gear, you would be rather scary.

It's funny you mentioni the 90 degree thing because I actually do that more than 180 degree turns. It is quicker, and it permits you to see your alts better than trying to see through the mob you're fighting.

1 more question, and thanks again for all the input.. Currently only
dual boxing.. Running 2 Paladins as mentioned.. Recommendations of
keeping them both Ret or doing 1 Prot/1 Ret?

On my Retribution Paladin I used a "/cast [target=focus] Flash of Light /stopcasting" macro to take advantage of instant heal procs. I've not played my Paladin in a while so I'm not sure if there's time in the rotation anymore with Exorcism usable on everything, I could spare the GCD's easily before that change though. Timing is a bit tricky since it resets the swing timer though, so be careful with this or you'll hurt your DPS.

Great minds....

Instances where you tank and drag your alt for DPS: you prot, follower ret. Everything else: both ret. As Nisch says, ret pallies heal so much that you can almost always make up the difference by juggling judgements/seals a bit.

i feel like a pessimist but you are 74 in northrind gear doing a bc instance which was made for bc gear sorry i point out the obvious but seriously good job I tried doing that with my three shamans at 72 and failed pretty bad on those pulls not enough aoe i guess

I have 5 pallies at 80 right now and I'm rocking the heroics. I'm running the same set-up 1prot 4 ret. Funny thing is I was doing 5x ret till dual spec came out and I was still kicking alot of ass. 5xPallies are most definately a viable set-up. With only half way decent gear I've killed almost all the bosses in Wotlk heroics. The rest aren't really due to gear but rather me being limited to how much time I have to play the game.

Can anyone confirm that Judgement of Light will indeed stack while in an instance? I did some testing tonight and found that it would NOT stack while inside an old world instance (tested in stockades/strath), but it DID stack while testing on mobs outside of instances. The video posted here by the OP shows it stacking in a BC instance. Has anyone else seen this?

I feel like I'm going crazy

[Nisch]

It stacks for me in instances. I typically don't need heals because of the fact that it stacks and heals so much.

I even tested with my shaman as my lead, I still got 4 heals from the JoL on the 4 alt pallies.

Unfornately Judgements no longer stack, as in 4-5 JoL's on one target, however it hasn't stopped me from killing any of the heroic bosses I was already downing prior to them no longer stacking. I do have to heal and use CDs a bit more often though.
