My Evolutions in 5boxing

[MaxD]

So before I came to this site I was 3 boxing my 70 Warrior with 70lock or 69 mage. or some other combos of 70s and high 60s

Then I bought 2 World of Warcraft Battle chess sets good deal btw. With this I bought a new monitor

Last night I built a second system not as good as the first but its only for 1 account for the Priest allowing my wife to help me. So its sorta 5 boxing as I will still have over all control but with my wife as an over ride with some built macros just for her. IE Giant Buttons in the middle of the screen that say OMG HIT ME NOW for emergency heals

From everything I have read 4 boxing with a 5th is the most effective way to do this. Anyone have any thoughts?

BTW Most effective way to "muti-class multi-box" imo noobs opinion

yes, 4 boxing and using a friend/relative/sibling/significant other is another quite common way to multibox. the 5th is often the tank or the healer and the 4 are usually dps/CC. It definately works.

Yup, definitely one of the most fun ways to box.

I have a few 5 man man teams that I solo, and although they're enormously satisfying simply because I don't have to rely on anybody else, the most fun I have is when my wife's tanking and I'm just healing + DPSing, or when both my wife and a friend take over tank and healer duties and I'm just all-out DPS.

The two playstyles aren't mutually exclusive of course. I just drop a character or two out of the team to make space for the other players. Obviously, with account sharing being illegal except between a parent and child, I don't add my wife's characters to the team unless she's there and actively playing. Uh-huh. Not me. :whistling:
