Totally new to dual boxing (via dual screen or alt tabbing) and I've been thinking about doing my first big push on Fresh Wrath server.

My main focus is to get to level cap as quickly as possible so I can start farming gold to take advantage of the super cheap AH prices that are prevalent on fresh servers. I'm not to concerned about either character being my Main character. I will level that one later and fund it with my initial leveled duo. I know leveling solo would probably be faster, but I'm thinking that duoing two characters to max level will be able to start doing dailies and amassing gold substantially quicker along the way by quest rewards than leveling two individually

I know that gold will be at a premium early on bc there's essentially zero raw gold on the server day one. I want to be able to pretty much invest every extra copper in the AH and buy as many ores and herbs as i can at rock bottom prices and sell for a profit later on, but at the same time be able to level 2 classes as quickly and efficiently as possible.

I know mages and hunters level really quickly.
That being said: mages tend to have quite a bit of downtime in order to eat and drink. HOWEVER, their food and water are essentially free and later on they can port to knock down on travel time over long distances. And Hunters, although there's not a ton of downtime. Im afraid Ammo will eat into my goal of spending every little bit of extra gold i have in AH.

Druid is another class I'm considering. they level rather efficiently but they start out so slow and I'm afraid ill get bogged down with the millions UPON MILLIONS of people in the starter zones.

I guess, Long story short, What class combo do you guys recommend that is a good combo that will both level quickly and efficiently in the open world but at the same time will save me as much gold as possible either by not needing to buy as much food/water/ammo or having a leveling kit that requires me to purchase as little skills as necessary to get to cap. Dungeons really aren't a leveling option for me b/c when I play, I need to get up and down periodically to tend to other things.

I am also wondering if I should forego picking up any gathering professions during my journey to save that much more time leveling. I don't know how much time would be added by capping mining/herb or the added 3 seconds or so to each skin would add to my leveling time vs. the initial profit skinning would provide by having extra things to vendor.

So far Im thinking one of the following five Combos, but open to anything really

Hunter/Hunter: Duo pets, Ranged, Fast leveling: But ammo and pet training may be costly and if i decide to do try to do a dungeon or two, not being a healer or tank will make it difficult to find a group

Hunter/Druid: Benefits of a healer class, efficient levelers, druid will be a great farmer later on. I dont know which one I would pilot or if i would go dps or Resto on the druid.

Warlock/Druid: go resto on the Druid and leave on auto follow and just moonfire/wrath mobs and rejuvinate/heal the warlock so they can lifetap constantly keeping their mana up between pulls. zero downtime but I'm afraid "just" being resto would slow the leveling process down quite a bit.

Mage/X: pretty much just for free food and water and ports. some ideas are paladin/mage for aoe tanking and blizzards. or mage/ranged for good dps without having to alt/tab a ton

Druid/Druid: either both feral or feral/caster. good for stealthing past mobs, taking turns healing each other, as well as a good comp to get into a dungeon or two because the option is there to heal, tank, or both at the same time.


Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated!
