Best Dual combination!

[Yani]

After siome heavy thought, i have decided im going to Dual Box.

The reason for this, is i have always wanted a warrior and a mage, so i thought "well, a tank and a ranged DPS, use the tank as my main and il have no problems with facing and range. Brilliant!!"

However, i have also thought about doing a 3 man box. The cons are, that if i get a healer, that will need to be my main, and then controlling the warrior would be very hard.

So, my questions are...

Do you think a maghe and a warrior would make a good team?

Or should i make 2 mages for AOE capabilities...

Or should i do a 3v3 team, possibly with a shaman?

Thanks.

warrior and mage is like... the worst combo ever

you cant do anything solo because you got no heal and you cant pvp because with warrior and mage running behind it will be pain

Also if you get a healer you dont have to use it as main. Fix some smart keybindings and macros and it will work almost as good as it would be your main :P

I thought it would be quite good, as the main problem i had with mages was people running into melee combat with you. And with a warrior tanking, it would be much easier.

So what woulkd you suggest?

Warrior + Shaman?

If people are going to run into combat, they are going to run into combat with your mage, not with the 10+K HP Warrior. If you only want to use this for PvP then there are a fairly large variety of classes you could combine, however for synergy its probably best to use two of the same class. For instance:

2x Shadow Priests - Decent DPS, Healing and Some Crowd control capabilities.

2x Warlocks - High DPS, Decent survivability, Pets, Crowd control.

2x Mages - High DPS, Excellent Crowd control, able to burn people down from range very effectively.

For the most part, people tend to avoid using melee classes in PvP Multiboxing, simply because of the extra hassle this causes. However with some thought and decent planning theres no reason why you couldn't use two Rogues to gank people (Total stunlock = win).

It all boils down to what you want to do and what classes you are comfortable with. Try out some characters on the PTR's to see what works, from that you should be able to settle on an effective dual-boxing combo.

Hey everyone,

I'm new to to dual boxing and all, but I find it quite interesting, and I'm thinking of starting too.
I will be running two toons at once (can't afford more monthly costs).

I was thinking of rolling horde, with an Orc warrior, and Bloodelf paladin combination.

I have already tested with dual mages till up to level 8, and dual locks till 6. It's quite easy when you get the hang of it, but I don't really find those classes interesting to play.
I have always wanted an orc warrior (Warlord's shoulders *drool*), and a bloodelf paladin to back him up (looking cool and all) would be amazing.

I have just ordered a new pc, and I think I will be starting when it arrives. Just have to get another copy of wow, and I'll be good to go!

I'll be writing specs and configs later on.

regards,

Keasu

The trouble is they are both melee classes and follow doesn't quite cut it for staying in range on both.

What do you intend to use it for? PvP or PvE?

[Keasu]

The paladin will mainly be for support/ healing and such. So the melee range won't be such a problem.

Well, in the end I would be using them for PvP reasons I guess, but I will be seeing that when I get there. It's mainly just to enjoy myself

I already brought the paladin to Durotar just now, I will be starting the duo tomorrow for a couple of hours if I got some free ones

Rithius and Ogar on Al'Akir if you are wondering

if i were going to dual box with a pve focus id run a prot pally and a healer (prob a shadow priest) dual box with a pvp focus would be 2 mages or 2 locks prob 2 locks

1. Mage + Warrior = horrible

2. two mages = 2 sheep = 2 pyros = 2 instant pyros = BAM

3. 2vs2 arena gives you nearly no points, 3vs3 is excellent.

War and sham are very fun.

This is what started me 5 boxing. I used to love Enhancement shaman until the 41 talent patch made them gimp. So I started playing a warrior. At level 55 I decided hey how about I have my Shaman respect resto and follow him around with earth shield.

My shaman only 63, in tow I was able to pull damn near the entire first field in EPL. It was a blast to bust out with Whirlwind with a nice big slow 2 hander, arms spec. I enjoyed it so much I caught my warrior up to my shaman and duo’ed the par together running around. I did this for a couple levels. WF totem is awesome, well was. At times I could kill an even con Hell boar in like 2 seconds or instant with a WF proc from the totem. It’s recently been nerfed. Haven’t tried it since. Just remember anything with the word “Shaman” on it will be nerfed to uselessness, and anything with “warlock” gets buffs out the kazoo.

Don't have to agree with me, i'm just going by track record
