Want to try dualboxing

[Rufio]

Hi there, i'm new here.
I read about multiboxing and it looks like a challenge. I'd like to try it with a trial acocunt tonite and i was wondering what the best combo is to start with.
I see a lot of shaman combo's but i'd like to try shaman / warlock combo. Is this possible? Or should i take identical classes to avoid the hassle?
Has anyone experience with shaman/warlock, shaman/shaman or warlock/warlock, and what is the funnest to play?
Thank you!

same class combos are the easiest to get to grips with at least at the start. However, pretty much any combo can work so it's all down to what you do.

For example i did warlock/pally for a while and mainly had my pally healing so you could have the shaman take that role. or you could have them as two dps casters or.... as you can see there are so many options the only major advice for a starter is avoiding 2 melee chars as that gets awkward

As for funnest? try it and see

Thanks for the quick reply
I think i'll go for 2 x warlock, with tanking pets i believe they can make a good team.
And soulstone eachother to avoid corpse runs

What would be the best spec for 2 x warlock? Affliction i guess?

One Demo and one Affliction?

I have started a Mage/Warlock Compo (for testing issuies) and the mobs died so fast...
With the first demon you will get more dps, too.

So I think it isn't so important what tree you skill - Affliction causes some Aggro, so maybe the Walker is not able to bind the mob..

I've been Dual-Boxing since WoW was released and I can tell you that if you are just doing 2, and if it is your first time...have a healer on the second box. I would say Priest or Druid for your second account and Lock on the first. If you spec your priest shadow, they can rock pretty good, even without Shadow Form. I also like these classes because they can assist and DoT whatever you are DoTing, whether it be SWP or Moonfire. Hope this helps!

I've been dual-boxing a Ret Pally and Feral Druid. 67 on both now. Its been a blast. Pretty much anything works once you figure it out.

I've been 2-boxing since WoW was released and have tried numerous combos. My favorite PvE pairing is Hunter/Priest, but many other combos are equally effective. Others I like are Pally/Mage, Warlock/Priest, Rogue/Druid and Warrior/Shaman.

You have tons of character slots for a reason. Use them, and figure out your favorite pair for yourself. Everyone's advice is nice, but you really should experiment and find out what YOU like best. After all, you're the one playing them.

I went for lock/spriest combo, main lock. Still figuring out how to use macro's etc. (what lock spell to combine with what priest spell, and the buffing/healing) but i guess i will learn as i level.
If anyone with this combo feels like sharing some macro's or idea's please let me know

Before you get too used to the current setup, I'd consider changing your main. The Priest can be a useful healer, even shadow specced, and it's going to be easier to do that if it's your primary character.

With their omni-directional DoTs, locks lend themselves very well to being Drones. With the Priest as your main, you can use something like Clique when you do need to heal, instead of taking up valuable macro slots

For buffing, you really can't do any better than SmartBuff. If you grab that, you'll also get "SmartDebuff" with it, which lets you dispel magic / cure disease with your Priest with a click of the mouse. More macro slots / key combos saved.

It won't matter for quest grinding, but if you ever team up with others for an instance, being able to at least off-heal effectively will be a big bonus.
