New guy saying hello

[flux1]

Hey all. I've been a lurker here for a while and decided to finally register.

First a bit about myself. I played WoW long ago and quit back in the tbc times after kara when almost all of my guild stopped playing. Since then I've glanced over wow info rarely, but don't know all the changes since TBC. I have used HKN in other f2p mmos with my Logitech G11. Mostly mapping the G keys to buttons on a single alt following me around to heal myself or range dps a bit, but nothing major.

My overall goal is to be able to do a little bit of everything ingame from pvp to instances to grinding/questing better with boxing. Back in TBC my main was an Enhancement Shaman. From what I've read now-a-days, Elemental isn't really viable for anything end game. Still I'll probably start with them and go from there. End game I plan to mainly 2 box.

The main reason I'm planning to concentrate on a 2 boxing team is, well quite honestly, I don't have the spare cash to buy all 3 expansions * 5 plus $75 a month to keep them going. I do however have 5 copies of WoW from back when it was on sale around thanksgiving at Gamestop for $5 /w $5 gift card. I just never had the time to really devote to it until now. Also, 5 boxing teams seem less viable for instances now than before, so I figured on trying a 2 box if I go all the way to Cata. I will do the chain account linking for at least the first month and a half (default month + TBC trial) So I can boost several chars on the main two accounts to 60 and have a good selection to go from there.

As I get further along I'll ask about viable teams and what not. For now just going to start up a trial and get back into wow and get used to it again.

Welcome to the boards flux1.

I believe a lot of us started off with 2 boxing, I know I did, but it get's in your blood. Just do what you can, a little at a time, and make use of the resources the members have here.

Be sure to grab Jamba, as it will make your job a lot easier, no matter what boxing software you use.

Yup, I'm with F9thRet. I started with 2 just so I could dualbox healers for raiding, but suddenly it was 3 and like a week later it was 5, lol. And definately get Jamba. It's amazing, there's no other way to describe it. Even if you only use little bits and pieces of it, it will make your life a thousand times easier.

Hello.

Im going to start with 5 shamans and then 5 hunters. After that I'll see how much time my accounts have left and pick another class to go from there.

I may expand it later on and upgrade the other accounts to cata, but the sticker shock of $500 to get 5 accounts there is a bit much for me right now

Even if elemental is left in the PVP and DPS gutter, I figure I can respec Enhance/Resto for soloing. Hunters I like cause you can have a built in pet for tanking while the char DPSes. Combine with a resto or elemental shaman to two box old instances and raids for fun.

Also planning to level at least two Death Knights to use as tanks. Avoiding que times by two boxing tank/whatever alone makes it worth the effort.

welcome to the forums

Paladins and Druids are both fun classes.
And they can spec Tank, Healer or DPS.
So they're versatile choices for future teams.

Shammies and Hunters are both fun to play.
And will level quite well, both in pvp or questing.

Id say that make sure to get on a high population server in a good battlegroup. boxing kinda sucks when you are a medium non pvp server imo Id welcome another horde boxer to KilJaeden as would the other LOB characters. Hellscream is still pretty active. Anyway, nice to see you picking up the metagame :P
