Best & relatively easy dual-dps mixed-class setup (PvE)

[falsfire3401]

I'm currently boxing a prot pally and holy priest duo with great success.

Now I'm already planning ahead to my next dual-boxing project once I get them to max level. I'd like to try dual-boxing two dps classes together, but because I don't in the end want more than one of each class @80, what different-class dps combinations work good to dual-box?

There's obviously some complications, like doing warrior/rogue they gotta do different moves but ideally on the same keypress each one does a different dps move (don't worry I won't try a backstab rogue or anything with positional requirements lol).

Some dps classes I already have going, so I could team them up with an alt but I'd have to first level the alt to catch up...I'd prefer to have the team start together at level one.

With that said, my dps classes I don't currently have going on the realm I play on are:
1. Warlock
2. Rogue
3. Warrior
4. Shaman

And the ones I do have that would have to wait for their partner to catch up in levels:
1. Druid (balance) L18
2. Mage L13


I'm hearing alot of love for the balance druid / elemental shaman combo...that's one I could do if I first level the shammy to 18 so he/she can start at the same point as the druid.

EDIT: Since I'd have to worry about leveling to shammy to roughly the same point *AND* have the same quests completed and ready as the druid, and the druid is only L18, mightn't it be better / more worthwhile to just delete the druid and start him over given he's only 18?

If you are using RAF, leveling to 18 is soooo much faster than in the later levels, so just lvl one solo to match, or level a new duo to 18, then swap the druid in.

If you aren't using RAF, and are only lvl 17, I would start using RAF, ditch the toons you already have, and level up way faster. You could get to level 20 in a matter of a couple hours if you are focused. And if you have any nice lvl 80 friends, you could get them to run you through instances (SFK is crazy fast, from lvls 10-20 i was getting 1.5 levels per run, which is about 15 mins. Then go to SM and repeat. There's so much more leveling to do, from 60-70, and talents/itemization is more tailored for the last 20 levels anyway, I doubt you will be missing out on anything by getting boosted. I would beg/borrow/steal (not really but you get the point) to get people to boost me if i were in your position. (or boost yourself, if you have a class capable of doing so, even if you only plan on dual boxing later, paying the $20 for one month of RAF and the $25 to transfer the toon over is well worth the time savings, IMHO.

I have 2 dual box combo's happening. The first one is a Tank DK/Holy Priest combo which has just reached max level.

The second set I have is a BM hunter/elemental shammy team which is early 70's. The second team has been a lot of fun. I control through the shammy and have the hunter as the slave. With a BM hunter it works well because as soon as I engage the hunter's pet charges in to tank and there is plenty of DPS from the pet and autoshot even if I did nothing else. The shammy has slow but big DPS, and can also heal and rez, so its all good.

I think my third team may end up end a balance druid/lock combo. This would have the same benefit that the Lock's pet could engage most mobs while the characters blast from a distance.

Same class dual boxing is easiest. Ranged is generally easier than melee.
