Favorite class to dual box with?

[Nomak]

Druid/warlock was the first dual box I ran 3 years ago. I still think that was pretty fun. Paladin/warrior is pretty fun, though actually I run paladin/warrior/hunter. Anyway, almost anything will two box well, a lot depends on whether you like to be at range, or be right in there. Given the way content is balanced, a two box really runs against solo content with the ability to take the group quests, but you can't instance run by yourself.

Darth,

Did you attack with your Paladin as well or just auto-follow and heal? I am curious to see how difficult it would be to dual box 2 melee characters, even if one is just on Auto-Attack...how challenging it would be to drag them both up to the same mob to attack. Perhaps something that can be solved using keyclone, etc and leaving movement keys bounds together?

Shadow Priest/Affliction Warlock using a friends account to test. Now I bought my second key and am doing Mage/Shaman.

Whilst I never dual boxed any of my 70's to 70 the closest experience I had was levelling a shaman with a mates shaman to the mid 40's anyway.i then solo'ed from there to 70.

I can say though that 2 shaman will just cut through anything you encounter. And if one pulls more aggro than the other, the other player backs off on dps and heals them through it. It works like a charm.

Before I started 5 boxing, I 2-boxed a Fury Warrior / Shadow priest. It was a great combo IMO. Using the warrior as the "main" and the SP backing them up, you could do a lot of things. Plate DPS w/ healer, good stuff.

My two favorite combos have been Warlock/Priest and Rogue/Druid. Lock/Priest for pure PvE farming mode with DoTs and never stopping. Rogue/Druid for instance farming, stealthing through straight to certain bosses for alt or AH loot, etc. The next duo I want to do is a DK/Paladin though...Consecrate + Death & Decay sounds interesting. Plus having a GOOD knight and an EVIL knight together just sounds interesting. I would love to be in a RP server for that duo there! The only problem is that I don't like BE's and their 'pretty' look. I would pay an extra fee if they would let me have an UD pally :thumbsup:

I have always leveled separate classes. I guess I like the challenge of getting all the different skills working together. People usually choose similar classes to keep macros and keybinds to a minimum.

I also like semi-roleplaying and having a mini story that goes with why my characters are together. The triplets/quadruplets/quintuplets thing only works so many times :P

I would also recommend against multiple melee classes unless you are very patient. It is doable. But you will be constantly realigning to always be in range. My Warrior and Paladin have been fun, but any groups from here on out will be a Warrior/Pally/Death Knight with a bunch of casters, or an entire caster group.

In the long run a hybrid class will "win" this discusion as of the ability to DPS, Heal or ress.. Thats probably why you see so many Shammys with a pally or druid tank setups. Imagion runing a 5man team without a healer and you keep losing one toon all the time in BGs etc... thet must be sooo anoying.. Ofc. i have only tryed my druid shammy team and are a true Hybrid fan Druid and shammy FTW!

just started 2boxing myself and chose 2 mages,fire spec and i must say its quite fun

havent tried much pvp yet,but for grinding its pretty awesome, start with 2xpyro then 2x fireball...and if it still aint dead i do 2xfireblast and thats pretty much one dead mob 4 levels higher than me

if u can run 3 mages thats even better ofc,but if u want to stick with just 2 i think mages are fun in my (short) experience

I love my shammies but multiple mages are a blast as well.

My favorite combos are Moonkin + Elem Shammy and Fury Warrior + Shammy
