Some advice required.

Thanks for all the replies and suggestions thus far, it all really helps!

It definately seems that I will be making the change over to ISBoxer then

I guess I should have been a bit clearer with regards to my goals though. At this stage I am not all too concerned with the PVP element of things and my main focus is PVE.

My main focus is to clear as much of the old world content including raids on the characters I have. I would love to do Illidan for example but I don't know if this will be possible with just a 2 man setup, has it been done before?

Is it possible to do any of the WotLK content with just a dual box setup?

Would adding a 3rd character be beneficial to the above?

Once Cataclysm hits I will more than likely be using my setup for all the questing/grinding and try to level the characters together, be it 2 or 3.

I unfortunately doubt that I will be in a position to 5 box at any given stage though.

Even though I am part of a Guild I also spend most of my time solo, so whatever team I put together is about as good as it is going to get for me.

I like the idea of adding a ret paladin though, it seems like a good way to move forward considering I already have a healer and tank that I know how to play.

I'm an old raid content junkie and a 5 boxer. To be perfectly frank with you there won't be any old raid content you can clear that you couldn't clear with a prot pally solo. It does make clearing old raid much faster though.

BWL has been 5 boxed- and you'd need at least 5 for the 2nd boss since he has a seriious DPS requirement. The first boss is doable but very difficult.

AQ20- easy- but can also be done with a solo prot pally.

AQ40- only 1 person on this site I know of has been 5 boxing AQ40- first boss with the mind control (Skeram) and the Twin Emperors are very difficult.

Tempest Keep- can't be 5 boxed YET... Maybe by level 85 but there's already rumors of them removing the pheonix in Cataclysm. There will be another type of pheonix available through a rep grind though (according to a fansite).

Serpentshrine- Can't be done- first boss I think is the only one you can box.

Black Temple- can't be 5 boxed.

Magtheridon's Lair- can easily be 5 boxed.

Gruuls lair- people have 5 boxed it.


Bottom line though you won't be able to handle any TBC raid content with only 2-3 accounts. One of the main reasons people get into multiboxing is to farm WOTLK heroics/PVP. People with 2-3 accounts generally just PVP- or random dungeon if you can handle the pugs.

Please don't be discouraged though! When I started multiboxing I only had 2 accounts and had a lot of fun. Then eventually decided to make the move to 5 boxing which really opens up a whole new planet of opprotunities. You will clear the old raids with much more ease and life will generally be easier all around with just 2-3 accounts.

I think a mage would be a fun addition to the duo you have so far. They have a nice AoE that will make your grinding go a bit faster and help when it come to bad pulls.

A mage, like Teal suggests, would add +3% damage, and extra Int as well as an additional AoE capability.

Any other caster would also add value: warlock/boomkin (+13% spell dmg), ele shaman (various totems et al).

Of less use would be a physical damage class: rogue, hunter, enhance shaman, warrior - mostly due to the lack of synergy between it and the prot palladin - unless you're planning on expanding beyond a 3man team.
