What Would Go well with a Balance druid other than another druid?

[Ualaa]

Between the two, I'd say IS Boxer is the stronger software.
It offers automatic FTL, which is the strongest assist system; you can set this up with other software, but its a bit complicated.
IS Boxer has far superior mouse broadcasting (HKN is similar, but don't think anything else is even close).
Mapped Keys, can let you do things like move the slaves without moving the main, despite everyone having default keybindings.
Repeater Region based healing is very strong.
You can set up Click Bars, which are Mapped Keys activated by clicking from any window.
IS Boxer is a subscription, $36/year, and can be used on 1-5 computers at once.
IS Boxer is updated frequently, and has very strong support via www.isboxer.com and the IRC (linked from the isboxer main page).


Keyclone gets you 1:1 key broadcasting, which is that's all you need is worth considering.
You essentially have the option to pause broadcasting, or to broadcast.
Along with white listing keys (so only certain keys broadcast) or black list keys (so certain keys don't broadcast).
Not nearly as powerful, but KC is a one-time license (per computer) which lasts forever.

I don't like how a Hunter auto switches to melee attacks when a mob is in close (and melee breaks follow).

Ideally, you would want to keep the hunter out of melee range.

You might want to consider a Feral druid for the tanking ability, then the hunter for DPS. The upside about the druid is you can shift out and heal yourself if needed. This shouldn't be too bad unless you are in much higher instances where the mob hits way harder.

You may want to look into a pally too with your druid and level them together. That way you will still have a tank type if you keep your druid balance. Plus both get heals and can spec dps, heals, or tank at 80. Very versatile.

I am currently doing 2 druids and am liking it a lot. i am thinking i am going to buy keyclone it seems more stable for some reason to me

ISboxer is the best I've used and has everything you'd possibly need all in one package.

My team is a Paladin tank and 4 Druids. One resto druid and three balance druids.

When I decided to multibox I already had an 80 paladin/tankadin and had to level my druids seperately. Dual boxed both sets of druids all the way to 80 with great results. Nothing could probably beat adding another balance druid to your dual box team.

Really depends what you want to do like someone mentioned earlier. Do you want a slave around to be your healbot, or another DPS just to nuke stuff. If you're planning on raiding/heroics dual boxing I'd keep it simple.

you will find that keyclone is lacking later on when you wish to cast force of nature or hurricane at the same time (via mouse broadcasting), but initally it will suit you fine

Yes, using the mouse on separate clients is why I am switching to ISB.

Keyclone, with the rediculously challenging setup, works great for Shaman (re-noting that the set-up is horrendous if you're as lazy as me) but without mouse broadcasting, you will not enjoy the balance druids.

As for what to add to the Boomkin, it solely depends on what you intend on doing, and how much you like complicated or simple set-ups. The more kinds of classes at once, the more benefits, but the more challenging the set-up. Arena and PvE both benefit more from the LARGE toolbox of having many kinds of classes, as oppose to Battlegrounds, in which having several of the same class is not a hinderance at all since you are still just fighting unorganized zergs of enemies, half of which are trying to run away.

mage=bad
lock = good

keyclone = very good & recommended for dual-boxing imo
isboxer = very very good but more complicated/more features and subscription-based.

I would prolly go with a paladin. Gives you a plate and leather class so you wont compete for drops. Both can rez, heal, tank, dps, both have good mix of buffs that go well with each other.

Another druid would work well as both can heal/rez. Tank, dps, heal etc from the various forms.

Shaman works well with buffs/totems Still have a bear tank, ranged dps, both can rez, mixed armor types.

I would say with 2 boxing 2 hybrid classes are going to work better than say a pure dps class as your second. most major buffs can be replaced with drums and runescrolls so thats another thing to consider. In the end, play what will be fun for you.

[coglistings]

as far as your class choice, Id specifically go with mage because of druid OoM issues have fun

My first combo was a Feral Druid + Resto Druid. Everything was pretty easy to kill. Lvling was pretty fast.
Now i have a Feral Druid + 4 Shamies, Feral Druid + 2 Priests, 2 Locks ( additionally Hunters or Mages ) combos.

The most easiest combo to box was the Shamy Team. Atm i lvl a Pala + Mage. Works pretty good too.

I used Keyclone and ISBoxer+Innerspace. For dual boxing, Keyclone is more than enough. If you wanna go 5boxing one day, i'd always prefer Isboxer+Innerspace. Its looks complicated but after some time you get used to it and its like a "wow" effect when you realize your macros work so damn good. I had some "sending keys"lag problems with keyclone with 5boxing but no Problem with Isboxer.
