New to Multiboxing :)

[Chirpyboy]

Hey all thanks for taking the time to read this. So me and a friend started up WoW and for right now my friends pc is in the crapper. So I've been multiboxing 2 Hunters using HotKetNet and love it. Now i know thats probably the super intro newb thing to just use, so looked at the forum and just saw Jamba and about to give it a try.

My question is im thinking of doing a duel druid combo. One Feral, the other Resto. How would i do with random dungeon grouping if my resto druid is the main healer. Will it be rough? or would i be able to swing by with little problems aside the Leroy Jenkin pulls. (also we RAF'd and did lvl 60 x2 hunters in 23 hours played)

Healer + Some-Other-Role is quite easy if you utilize the mouse to heal (using VuhDo, Grid, Healbot, etc) and use keypresses for your other character. No issues there!

Dual druids have a lot of flexibility. You can do a variety of roles for PvE and PvP.

ISBoxer is a real great multiboxing tool, if you decide to stick with the hobby. It's a huge upgrade over HotKeyNet.

Welcome!

they way *I* also being a fairly new boxer would do it...is control the resto druid, use keys like 7,8,9 with mouseover macros for your healer. then keep the feral on follow and target with your resto druid. the mouseover macros will allow you to not switch targets much.

Jamba is a must. I really don't know how you've done it without it so far...look into interact with target, jamba will make picking up quests a breeze. Note that jamba is an addon, not a multiboxing program, it's meant to be used in accordance with HotKeyNet/Keyclone/ISBoxer

Sounds like you're playing your friend's account. That's a big no no.

Hahaha well this is a temp thing for now. Lol what blizz dont know wont hurt em. My problem is im horrible at programming or even thinking of what i need to type to make stuff happen. Plus a complete newb when it comes to rollover macros or even how to make em as isthisspam was talking about haha...Well yes jamba is freakin sweet with the easy questing. If anyone has any links or anything that could help me out with this would greatly appreciate it. Im going to continue searching the web and forums to see if i cant find what i need to help me.

----Also forgot to mention im a very visual person. So for me to read something then put it straight into action is kinda rough. I see people do the macros in videos but when i look to see what ppl are talking about it just goes over my head. I know once i get it down and figured it out it will be cake the next time. But doesnt help when a newbie comes and trys to get all 100% of multiboxing down in one night. I know how to make macros i did the very basic
/assist XXXX
/Cast XXX
and then just kind of went from there and such but anything more advance i never fully understood

If you're planning on boxing long term, take a hard look at IS Boxer.
You get a lot of bang for your buck.

Auto FTL, without messing with macros or scripts.
Mouse Repeater and Repeater Regions.
Click Bars.
Flexible Mapped Keys - Toggles, Slave or Master actions, etc.
Send Next Click - Ground Target AoE's.

If you're not likely to box much, or are comfortable with scripting (or willing to learn), look at HKN.
It gets you most of those features, and is free.



As far as what Blizz doesn't know.
You'll probably be fine.

But you might not be; if anyone reports you, a GM will check the names on the accounts, and if they're different you've just lost both accounts (banned, not suspended).

What is even funnier, is when some uneducated person in game reports you thinking that you're hacking or botting by
controlling multiple characters, and then the GM decides to look at the names on the accounts.

Hah yeah just laughing now but your right. Going to take this serious...started looking at the forum more and already been messing with jamba and ISBoxer. But now that i understand a little more with the macros and what not. Just going to buy a 2nd accnt since its only 20 bucks for a full account now. Ill just spend some more time looking and testing out my own macros singleboxing in a group then move to dual boxing

If you think for some reason you may play more than just 2 accounts, you may want to take advantage of those deals at
the moment because that sale ends tomorrow.

Well dont think ill be playing more then 2, only work weekends so 30 bucks a month ontop a phonebill sucks...But i know i will be playing 2 and then my friend on his 3rd so i unno if that would still be worth it or if i should just get my money back from ISBoxer

---Like is it still worth just 2boxing it? or does it really only benefit if you 5box it?
