New to Multiboxing :)

[Ualaa]

First off, definitely go with Recruit a Friend.

You can start off with 2-boxing.
That gets you a strong foundation.

Two toons would be excellent for quests... not a pain to do collections.
Twice the kill speed for kill quests, faster mob respawns because more toons in the area.
The option of both Tank + Healer, for extremely fast Dungeon Finder; and with that many toons, even if DPS are dorks, they cannot group boot you and will be replaced very easily by the mass of DPS that want tanks/healers.

PvP-wise, two aren't enough to outright one-shot blow people up.
And you do suffer from the slave being on auto follow, the possibility of a split team etc.
But you do have double the firepower.
And take up only 2 slots in the 10/15-man battlegrounds, which is often a huge edge.

It is up to you, whether 2-boxing is enough or you'd want to hold off until you have five.
I two-boxed, without software for the first year and a half, and had a blast.
Was even two boxing literally, with two PC's + two monitors + two keyboards + two mice.
Would have been so much better with multiboxing software...
The only question that matters is.... do you find two boxing fun?

I'll recommend having a Death Knight, Druid, Shaman, Paladin and Priest on both accounts.
That gets you any tank (except Warrior, include that if you want... but hate to box them) from either account, along with several healer options.

Down the road, if you decide to 5-box, when you're more financially able...
Take whichever account has the best geared tank on it.
Call that account A, and the other account B.
Purchase three additional accounts.
And link them like this:
A > C > D
B > E
And then boost BCDE with A.
A will get a bunch of granted levels, and BCDE will all have RAF bonuses.

Yeah well i leveled 2 hunters to lvl 60 in about 24 hours played time. Was quick easy and all i used was hotkeynet. It was fun and year it made the leveling go by so much faster. I Also know the awesome benefits of having 2 toons in a 5 man dungeon...a lot better chance at gear...plus healer tank always works well. What i have to do now is figure out how to work the macros better. I bought the system seeing as 10 bucks for 3 months isnt bad and my own 2nd accnt and linked it to A so now i have A>B,B1 linked to it so when my friend gets on ill have double the free lvls and thats 3 ppl i can group with and raid with. I like the ISBoxer so far. Just have to figure out what real duo i want and what other classes i want to make as a team. I have a dwarf thing going on so i know all the quests and where to go to lvl. Just going to be the tank/healer macros i have to work on and figure out. But been researching more and found out some stuff thats helped

I will also echo what others have said and strongly encourage you not to violate the ToC and play an account that is not in your name.

Well heres a little update...I've bought a 2nd accnt a linked it to my main email. started working on a pally priest combo...kinda slow right now but i didnt wanna make another dwarf combo got bored of those quests haha. I found some tutorials about repeater regions and got Healerbot and linked it up thanks to http://isboxer.com/index.php/guides/...tovya-repeater ....

Its worked ok so far...only problem i have had with ISBoxer is when i press number 1...whatever client i pressed it in autocrashes. Thinking of just deleted the keybinds and just relying on my healer as a pure healer and use just healer bot....another problem i have which is probably just something simple i havnt figure out....but sometimes my healer bot becomes broadcasted usually when i press or hold Alt...so i have to figure that out....

But other then a few minor things I'm happy with the way its gone

The DPS 1 mapped key, crashes you.
But the DPS 2, etc, don't?

If you open up the Toolkit, does the mapped key look any different from the others?
Have you modified it at all?

I'd probably post on the isboxer forum; Lax will likely have a fix.

[Chirpyboy]

Yeah i looked at it and happens every time i do the wizard same thing happens...all the rest are fine...2-whatever 1 is changed to self...something something but i just deleted it for the time being...My real pet peave right now is that sometimes the broadcast kicks in and my bot goes awol on me and does his own thing or both clients have the curser instead of just my tank...any suggestions how to fix that? Instead of going all the way to the corner and double clicking the broadcast in the upperleft hand corner

If you turn on repeater in one window, and then switch to another window, I sometimes get buggy behavior.
If I enable then disable it from the same window, after a switch its not an issue.

Not sure if that is what you're saying or not.

I don't actually have the click bar to enable/disable Keymaps or Repeater on my screen. Was using IS Boxer long before the feature was implemented, and did not bother with a click bar for that.




Also, if your DPS 2 mapped key, in FTL DPS works fine.
You could copy the mapped key, paste it, and then rename it to DPS 1.
Then edit the hotkey and output, which theoretically would fix that issue.

Then sort the Keymap, which will put things back into order.

[Chirpyboy]

Yeah Well its just i dont know whats keyyed to make it repeat or whatever i mean its not to big of a problem just sometimes he ends up running away when i do realize it because both the windows are active instead of just my main.

Also sometimes happens when im just clicking my own spell bar or after i use the healbot. But eventually ill figure it out. But hey im happy with where im at so far. Easy healbot that finally remember what all my clicks and shifts and alt clicks do haha. About to be able to go into dungeons and test out how tanking/healing a 5 man goes.

One thing im not looking forward is messing with my healbot location and changing my box length. Took me a while to get everything in a decent location for each other lol *id be half on my name in healbot and just barely be clicking on it on my healer haha*
