Blog Azeroth Shared Topic #1

Over in the wonderful world of Blog Azeroth there is a new community event. The idea was put forward for all the Bloggers to post a shared topic.

Q: What do you enjoy about the class you play the most?

As you probably know, my preferred class is the Druid. I have never really considered why I enjoy the Druid so much. I have played almost every other class to a point and just have not had the enjoyment necessary for continuing the level grind.

I guess I like the true hybrid style of the Druid. I like the self sufficiency of the class as well.

We honestly do get the best of both worlds. I think unless you play a hunter or a warlock, you can get any style of play from a Druid Spec that is close to any other Pure Class. Look at what a Druid can be, Rogue, Holy Priest, Prot Warrior, Arms Warrior and the Mage (in Plate). With such a diversity it is almost impossible not to find a style of play that suits you.

Personally I enjoy all the aspects of the Druid Class. Feral is by far my favorite with Resto as a close 2nd.

But wait, there’s more….

I had a great time last night Multi-Boxing my 3 new Shammies. They are all sitting at level 11. Playing three of the same class (and Spec) is so much easier than playing mixed class/spec. I still don’t know if I will keep playing them but they have me for now.

On a similar note, a guildy pointed out what he thought was another multi-boxer. There were three druids all of the same level range called Snap, Crackle and Pop. They were in a guild called “Cereal Killers”. I was so excited to see another Multi Boxer in Medivh that I struck up a conversation. His initial reply…… “What’s a Multi Boxer?”. Oh well, turns out to be a Husband/Wife/Friend group.

Last but not least.

I would like to welcome a new Blogger. V Boxing has a great Multi Box set-up and some great Video’s of her Adventures.

Check it out.

OK, I lied.

Over at http://www.dual-boxing.com/ I stumbled on some new Multi-Boxing Software. Octopus is a neat piece of software that shares the Keyboard and Mouse over multiple instances of WoW. It’s similar to Keyclone but oh so much better(and free). At first it was rather difficult to configure. The Step by Step guide wasn’t very clear. After about an hour of messing about I finally got it working.

This software is truly amazing. Aside from the usual features, you can actually move your mouse from one instance of WoW to another, even if they are on different machines.

Let me illustrate this. In my setup I have two PC’s. The Slave PC runs two small windowed versions of WoW. One in the top right and one in the bottom right. I have this showing on my Left 19’ monitor. On my right 22’ monitor I have my Master PC which has one Full Screened instance of WoW. If I move my mouse left from the 22’ it appears on the 19’.

Why is this so good?

Well the bane of the multi-boxer is Collection Quests. It can be a pain to switch around and loot items. Now it’s just a breeze.

I think that’s all for know.
