[WoW] Dual-Boxing Powerleveling Class Guide

[Hudoij]

Ok so now i have another problem.... if you would please, check out my 2 posts at the end of the previous page before reading this:

Can this work with 1 and only 1 official EU account? Considering i will ONLY dual-box, NOT more than 2 chars at a time. Just that i can't afford paying for two official accounts at a time... very expensive, 2 boxes of the game and > $30 is just a no-no to my parents... <.< (q ;_> will i ever multibox?

You have to have two running active accounts to dual box. You can only log into wow once per account so a minimum of two is necessary.

So basically you have to be rich to multibox 5 chars at a time? (5 boxes of the game, >$75 per month for 5 acc's, good computer(s)/5-6 monitors)

Start enjoying Top Ramen or Microwave Burritos.

Fast Food:
30 days x $5/meal x 3 meals/day = $450 /month

Top Ramen/Microwave Burritos:
30 days x $1/meal x 3 meals/day = $90 /month

Savings = $360 /month

There. You can have 5 accounts and still have some money left over to splurge at MickyD's a few times a month.

I just wanted to say thank you to the OP for the information regarding viable class combos. I was trying to use a hunter and a shaman, and was extremely frustrated because I didn't want the shaman to be a ranged caster. Your guide convinced me that it was a terrible combination to try ranged and melee at the same time...and you were right. I now have a paladin/warrior combo that works well, and the shaman/warrior will no doubt be just as effective.

I appreciate the time you took to explain everything - it made a big difference to me.

Hi all,

Lowbie Powerleveling: 1 -> 22
=============================

...

For the fastest xp, repeat Part 1 over and over, don't even go in further. Only problem is you'll quickly use up the number of instances you are allowed to reset in an hour.

Was leveling every 10-15 minutes from memory (bit longer when going further in).

I'm confused: were you zoning out your hunter, or do the lowbies get full XP if hunter is FD, even though he's in the group? Or was it that fast even being grouped with a 70?

How would 2x hunters and a pala work out? Pala being purely support.

Actually, I'm using 1X MM Hunter w/ cat for DPS, 1X Prot Paladin for support and tanking. It was awkward at first until I figured out the range I needed to attack with the pally from to keep the hunter able to use a bow. The pally has died 3 times, the pet 2, and a full wipe only once. We leveled from the beginning to now at 18. We are BE's, and just completed the the first part of Deathholme, next to be doing the lieutenants/captives, then we will do Dark'han. I'll let you know how it goes (I'm on Terrokar). So far, we are just about indestructible unless I don't pay attention. The one time we wiped was confronting Zul'Grash (lvl 20) at level 16, and that was because the pet ran off (I must have targetted the wrong thing) leaving the two of us behind, and when I tried to fix it with much alt tabbing, the pet had already fought Zul'Gorash alone and died. 3 Adds got the paladin while I was trying to kill Zul'Gorash, and with 4 on 1, the hunter pretty much stood no chance lol.

As long as there are no accidents (and even with a few), we just plain do not die. I'll let you know how it goes later on . It is kind of tricky, but even against the advice here I wanted to use this combination. I know both classes well, so that probably makes a difference, too. I know that a MM Hunter can just about solo instances, and a Prot Paladin can survive a serious beating without too much attention and can throw in a heal or two when needed - that's why I picked these two classes because I am curious to see if we can solo instances. I may try Wailing Caverns today with these guys, but it has been very easy to do the BE area since I've already done it with both these classes a few times and know what level I need to be and the enemies we will face.

EDIT: Oh wait, the Hunter has actually died twice. It was when we were just starting out. We did the quest where you retrieve the Arcanist's journal from under the bridge. I forgot the Hunter while the pally turned the quest in, and she drowned because I forgot to make her follow out of the water lol. That was actually kind of funny, and I was glad no one was around to see me stupidly drowning my poor character.

And in response to my earlier post, the explanation was helpful, and it was easier to use a caster and a melee, but that really wasn't what I wanted to do . I tried pal/war on Alliance side, which I am not as familiar with (okay, I wasn't familiar with it at all lol) and it worked out, but I really wanted a Prot Paladin and MM Hunter. I use AutoHotKey on one box, and it requires a lot of attention, but now that I've gotten used to the need to manage two different sets of attacks it is a good pairing. The synergy between a defensive buffer and two DPS (cat + MM) is strong - mostly the cat tanks with me throwing judgements and heals, while the hunter absolutely destroys the targets from afar. With Righteous Fury active, either the cat or me always has aggro so the Hunter is free to wail on the enemy. If things get out of control, a quick cast of righteous defense, and the enemies go right back to hitting the paladin while the cat and hunter mop up
