I've been reading through the various stickies and have learned quite a lot about the mechanisms behind all of this. Obviously it requires multiple accounts, but is it necessary for all the characters to be the exact same class? For instance, would it be possible to have 2 shaman and three mages?

I realize that their spells would not match up, but I was considering if two types of bars could be set up and accessed at the same time: one set up for the shaman and the other for mage related abilities. Also, could there be any overlap? Say the mages cast frost bolt while the shaman casts lightning bolt under the same keystroke?

You'll have to forgive me as this is my first visit to the site and I have not fully explored the realm of possibilities, but any insight will be valuable to me.
