Hello!

[Las Vegas]

Hey people,

Just wanted to register and say hi to you all. I haven't multiboxed yet, but I'm gonna try it out tonight. Already got keyclone, and got 2 monitors. So I'm gonna start tonight . I was wondering, I read alot of multiboxing stories about 2, 3 or 4 of the same classes. Is multiboxing also possible with different classes? Let's say for example a priest and a warlock?

I'm a bit confused about how that goes with keyclone and all. Since they ofcourse both have seperate spells. I'm asking this because leveling 2 of the same chars sounds like a lame thing to me. What's the use of 2 of the same classes really? Hope someone can answer my question .

Greetings!

Multi-class setups are possible. you just have to arrange yuor macros/keybinding to make them work for the group. Multi-class takes more coordination and understanding of each class abilities.

Same class setups allow for easier to configure macros.

I have a 5 shaman team and I enjoy the versatility of the group in the sense that I can rez team members, self rez(wipe protection), dps, heal, half-ass tank/melee. I already had a lvl 70 elemental shaman on Lightbringer and enjoyed it more than any of my other 70's. So I wanted to play a class that was fun for me.

I'm sure you can have fun no matter what the setup is. Just try to steer clear of a full melee group to start out with. Try some casters that compliment eachother or just go all one class.

Howdy Vegas and welcome to the forums!

well... as you increase the number of class types, the complexity in controlling them effectively increases. it's not impossible, it's just tougher. (melee is possible, and helps you understand how to maneuver your characters better.. i rolled 5x warriors and 5x rogues.. its possible, but you can forget pvp)

as for why would anyone roll 5 of the same class... more power! (/tim taylor)

seriously, 5 mages casting 5 fireballs followed by a fireblast is pretty tough to endure...

Well how nice all those reactions . I just started out 2 mages. But I do have some problems. First, I'm using 2 monitors on 1 PC. 1 19'' LCD, and 1 17'' CRT. Now, I use ultramon to control both screens. But opening one WoW left, and one right doesn't seem to work at all. Running Windows XP btw. Both screens keep opening on my mainscreen, the LCD. Anyone know if I can fix this?

Anyhow, both chars show up in game. But heres my next problem. I can't seem to let my ''alt'' follow my main char. When I target a mob by using tab, my main targets a mob and my alt targets another mob close to my main targeted mob. So my main shoots another mob as my alt. It's really strange. What can I do to let my alt target the same mob as my main?

Thanks in advance .

EDIT: Screen problem fixed. I just minimized my WoW windows now, so I can see my taskbar. Now it works . Just need a solution for the other problem tho.

Hey Vegas, good to have you!

I just recently started to multi-box a pally, priest, and 3 mages. It is a total blast! I'm sure you will enjoy lvl your toons. What you might want to do for your 'alt' to follow you main is set up a macro to focus on your main and then follow him/her.

Example:
/focus #mainname#
/follow focus

I use this macro on all my 'alts' to set the focus on my pally and just bind it to F11 whenever I first form a group. You have to be in a group though for you to be able to set your focus. Once my focus is set I have another macro:

/follow focus

I bind this one to the key 'shift+space' whenever I need my alts to follow my main again.

On the targeting issue, you can create various macros to assist you main's target. It just all depends on what you use. I use something like this:

/cast [target=focustarget] Fireball

This way my alts are targeting the target of my focus (my main) and will always be on the same target. Hope this helps out Vegas and happy hunting!
