1. ISBoxer's Quick Start Wizard should have you running with the basics in no time. RAF Leveling is very, very fast and repeated boosting can lead to burnout if you're they type that feels stress under self-imposed time limits. Finally, you can always power level later and you can always tweak later. IMO, if you want to start multiboxing, then I'd multibox a team not boost one.


2. My pally hasn't even looked at a mana potion since Burning Crusade was released. They have absolutely no issue with mana as long as they are getting hit and not trying to spam heal themselves. They also don't need to remain still at all. They can get speed boosts every time they judge, they can place Consecration wherever they like or leave it unglyphed to cast at their feet. I can't say I've ever felt immobile on my paladin. Paladins were the #1 tanking choice for multiboxing forever and is still a popular choice. That's not to say don't use the warrior, especially if you enjoy them, but I think your pally fears reflect the vanilla class, not the ones we have now.

Re- not using macros, I suggest you learn how to. You are not going to be able to efficiently manage a team by trying to line up cooldowns on single buttons, especially since pretty much every class runs on a priority sequence these days.

For the other slots, priest have been popular and are probably a fair place to start for a first team. It will allow plenty of healing so it will be more forgiving as you learn to manage multiple toons. Mages and Shamans are also good DPS and I'm sure you'll end up with at least one of each at some point. Especially the Shaman - self rez is very useful in a 5man PVE team. And if nothing else, a high-level mage makes travel and feeding teams a breeze.

Drops really, really aren't that big of a deal. They aren't all that random. You'll get decent gear that's already itemized for your spec from a lot of the quests and you can run dungeons over and over for specific drops until you outfit everyone if you need to, but with RAF don't be surprised to find yourself hitting level 60 and still having grey or white gear in some slots just because the leveling goes SOOOO fast.

By the endgame, you're pretty much running for points to buy your perfect gear - drops are stopgap gearing in most cases.

3. You'll find that you may set up a lot of buttons, but there's very few that you consistently use. Jump and movement will already be configured through the Wizard when you set up ISBoxer. A good amount of that stuff you probably won't even get a chance to use until your at or near max level.

4. Take a look at the Macro Library. While there's a lot of classes without macros listed, you should be able to get a good idea of how macros are set up for multiboxing from posts 3-6 {and the links in those posts}. Once you see the how the setup works, you can use or modify whatever macros you have/find.

5. As far as I'm concerned, there is never a need for high-quality slave windows outside of ego. You can up the settings with a swap macro if you need to run a slave as primary, but IMO, beyond that the higher settings are just eating up your system resources for no added benefit. If the settings are too high, not only is it no benefit, but you're hurting your overall performance. My slaves run at the lowest graphics settings {except for view distance} and 13 background FPS.
