Started dualboxing rogues

[d0z3rr]

So I had two rogues, a 60 and a 63. Transferred the 63 from a pvp server to a carebear server so I could play them with my friends 69 huntard.

Got them setup and spec'd them the same spec - subtelty for daggers and heavy ambush/backstab crits. This makes them alot easier to multibox of course, and just synergises really frickin well.

Things would die insanely fast, these two rogues crit as much as my 70 hunter in greens/blues. I'm surprised TWO rogues slaughtered stuff so fast. I hadn't really played rogues since my MC days (back when lobotomizer was AWESOME). So basically I shadowstep them both at the same time and it's instant death. But, if I stagger their dps, I can have the mob bounce back and forth and just constantly backstab mobs, it's hilarious. Sometimes backstabs go off so fast because I'm just mashing the backstab button - the mob will turn one way and my other rogue will backstab, then instantly he'll turn back to my main rogue because I just backstabbed. It's hard to explain, but you would know what I'm talking about it if you experienced yourself. The fact that I'm even writing a thread about it should show you how cool it is.

Anyways, I blew through Hellfire and Zang in just four hours with some help from my 69 hunter friend.

Of course pvp will be different, by the time I shadowstep/ambush/backstab with two rogues I'll be aoe feared and/or snared/cc'd, so I'm not getting too excited. I don't think it'll totally dominate in AV, but it will be awesome stealthing into towers and capping them easily.

So yeah, 5 rogues sounds pretty cool for pvp, but could also be a huge headache.

But it's a nice break from the hideous AV grind on my 4 hunters, and while waiting for me pve team to get rest.

what about how close you gotta be to your target how do you get that to work? due ot the fact thats why we box casters instead

Have one do cheap shot and the other ambush. That should give you enough time to take down a clothe. Or one can go in cheap shot, right before i goes off have the other go cheap shot, when the second cheap shot wears off you should have 5 combo on the first rogue to do kidney shot, when that wears off the 2 rogue should have 5 for there kidney shot. Now if that person should be dead before you get to the second kidney. Talk about lock down. If they are not dead do vanish on the 1 first rogue and do cheap shot and then vanish on second rogue and cheap shot, then repeat.

with shadowstep that doesn't matter, but since i'm only two boxing it's easy enough to move my mouse over to the other window and move the rogue closer if he's out of range.

Stop pugging AV for the love of god!!!!

I manage to log on when there's a void of no pre-made AV's going on. Even if there is they only have 2 spots left.

Well, start by getting 1 - 2 of your chars in the premade. At least 2 -3 people leave after each game (10-15 min) at the most your other cows will be sitting out for maybe 2 AV's? Not too bad of a price to pay for fast honor.

A lot of the premade leaders are used to dealing with Azq and I, so they are multiboxer friendly. ^^

Why Shadowstep+ambush both?
You can just have the other cheapshot + hemo* + kidneyshot for some stunlocking goodness while the other backstab away.

I think it would be fun to run 2 rogues, and if more stealthers are needed, I'd use druids to heals and buffs.

Hmm, maybe 1 rogue (tank) + 4 druid stealth nukers.
