    I'd be cautious about using others as an example of what you could do.

    Multiboxing has a very specific requirement in the retail game. It's not Classic and so you need highly mobile specs with great utility that benefits multiboxing. That essentially limits your combos to specific things. Not my idea of fun.

    Dual boxing would be my advice to anyone playing Shadowlands, so you'll get your MB itch in the world content and be able to drop one for the harder stuff when the time comes without feeling bad about your investment. Also 2 in PvP is a lot easier to manage than 3.

    Hey MadMilitia,

    I don't necessarily believe that. I would also be carful about the wording because you very well may turn off new people to multiboxing with blanket statements like that.

    Yes it's not classic/vanilla, but there is a whole lot you can accomplish multiboxing 2/3/4/5 accounts.
    I think it really depends what you want to accomplish.

    Do you want to push the hardest mythic+ content - yes you will probably need a very highly specialized group and have your settings, muscle memory, instance knowledge etc... all squared away.

    Do you want to run arenas, world questing, dailies, auction house, farming, transmog hunting, mount hunting, world pvp etc... These all can be done with different amounts of clients and different types of groups.

    You can create the most mixed matched group and with relative ease clear all 5 man instances, maybe even mythic 0-2 or more. I think one of the only requirements needed for multiboxing aside from all the hardware/financial stuff is just having an open mind. Being able to approach problems and try to figure out how to solve them. I think for a lot of us that's where the "fun" happens.

    I'll also just add that every time I hear someone saying something is not going to be possible or too hard to do multiboxing wise in an expansion I pretty much just laugh now, because every single time someone figures it out and shows us all the way to do it.

    This is solid advice.
