Melee Multiboxing a Reality!

[Ellay]

It's been covered in threads but I seemed to of missed the memo... with the feature of "autointeract" melee multiboxing is not just a dream, it's a reality. Which opens up the realm of all the classes as an option and not just for the die hards that "want to make it work".

Reading through Kromtor's success I and many others most likely are jumping on the Ret Paladin bandwagon. World of Warcraft has always been trademarked Meleecraft, and now Multiboxers can unite and enjoy the fruits of classes that were once untouched by our hands.

My paladins at this time are lvl 7 without RAF, I think I'm going to level them up the normal way. It's truly enjoyable to play a melee class to it's fullest potential and I am having fun once again... real fun in a game that is 5 years old. Relish it, and to anyone else out there somewhat bored / or looking for something new, try out some melee classes and get your Autointeract on!

FYI on how to use it, set up the key to a button in keybindings, make sure you have attack on assist on, and for mouse options Click to Target, now just spam it! and you run after your target, woo woo!

...and if you keep spamming the interact button, you team runs round and around the target, and then shoots of in all directions if you stop spamming it. Anyone know a workaround for this?

Jamba's autofollow after combat works to some extent, but has anyone found a nice way of getting your team not to act like children on a sugar high?

I'd love to give the ret pally team a try but that 0-60 seems a long, long way without RAF.

Of course another alternative would be rolling 5 dk's but not sure it would be quite as effective pve wise.

Tap your back arrow. *shrug* That's all I do. I personally have it set up that :

1 = Avenger's Shield + Divine Plea + /jamba-follow melee or whatever the command is
Tab = unbound from everyone except my melee toons {enh shaman and up and coming ret paladin}, who have it as thier secondary interact with target button
2 = all spam

So I run up to where I want to tank, spam 1 to pull mobs and call melee up to me, then spam tab a few times and start spamming DPS. If they start running or going in circles, I just stop spamming 2 and tap backwards and then interact...takes no time at all. It's the click-to-move part that gets glitchy, not the interact. Break the auto-move that they're doing and they're fine.

I have my paly team to 39 now! I am going to make a rog team next for fun!

For the problem of running off into the distance while spamming interact, I simply have /follow focus at the end of my DPS macro ( using /click ) When a target dies, i just hit that or my follow key. You have to be "aware" that they will run off and be ready to hit follow or back arrow at all times. It is a small problem in the scope of things.

In fact it is this "running around the target" that makes me want to do rogues. I think they will chew people up in seconds. I'm not sure how any of these melee teams will do in high level PvP, But i am having a blast in the noob BGs with them!

I <3 Interact with target!

I can second that. Its a looooong grind. I have done it with my druid team. Currently lvl. 55, and I must say it takes a long time. Again its my first team so I have spend a long time configuring macros etc. but I have truly enjoyed it. But its also because im a late starter at wow, and alot of instances etc. is unknown to me. So im always excited when entering a new instance :0)

But I must admit some of the kill this, collect that quests is getting a bit booring now... and I still got a LONG way to go.

I'm also spending time on my crafting skills along the way. Dropped mining though, its really a boring skill to lvl.

My Paladins are at 31 now. And its really nice playing melee. My only workaround for when your toons decide to auto run off in every direction is to catch it early with my follow button. If the mob isnt dead my then I hit the interact button again and they kill it as usual. Only occasionly do I have any of my toons auto run, but it can be annoying when you dont notice.

It's pretty funny to see the posts about "it's nice to multibox melee". A year ago, people were saying how multiboxing melee is nearly impossible. My melee team reamains to be my favorite team in WoW, and even now in Aion, I'm boxing 6 melee toons and am really enjoying it.

Havent people been doing dk's x 5 for some time now?

Ya my DK team is over a year old now too, but they were the exception because of deathgrip. Now any melee class is an option
