This is not a guide to multibox, this is a guide to running a season 2 team of WDs - 2x, 3x, or 4x it doesn't matter.

Managing Your Team - General rules is to keep it simple:

Roll boots to 10,11, or 12% movement speed
Use the same weapon speed or be prepared for consistent movement inconsistencies when fighting and moving
Watch out for set bonus and affixes that will alter your attack speed and movement
Round robin keys will be your friend if you want to use Big Bad Voodoo and cycle it per elite pack. I have 1 with it on key 3 but not in round robin so when I hit the gargantuan I have BBV pop it is awesome
If one of your guys is dying a lot there's a chance his HP and resists are too low

Paragon Priorities

Core

Movement Speed
Maximum Resource
Primary Stat
Vitality

Offense

Critical Hit Damage
Cooldown Reduction
Critical Hit Chance
Attack Speed

Defense

Resist All
Armor
Life
Life Regeneration

Utility

Area Damage
Life on Hit
Resource Cost Reduction
Gold Find

Core points follow the standard priorities of stats. Movement speed is the most important for a multibox and you must manage this to a perfect % across your team.

Offense stats follow CHD <> CDR depending on your gear, Crit chance or attack speed if have a 1:10 CHC to CHD ratio

Defensive stats starting out have no big effect, the best I find is AR > Armor > Life

Utility for this build you only need to max out Area damage for splash dmg. You don't many resources with this build but as you gear gets better and you finish sets you will want to go RCR if your dumping resources to quick with other skills.

Build Guide

Play Strategy

Do bounties from lvl 1 - 70 on expert, you can do torment around 61 when the stats jump. Around 65 scale back down if you find it to hard by 69 you will be back down to expert. You should have around 70-100 stones for rifts after you hit 70 and some bloodshards to spend. Helms are so good for WDs so try your luck for a leorics or better.
Craft the highest rare gear you can starting with a 2H weapon, these around around 3200 - 3500 dps
Start running rifts and get gear once you hit time when 99% of your rares are not upgrades start auto salvaging them just do it one char at a time. A trifecta still can be awesome despite its pixel color.
Socket your first good 2H weapon and socket full int / topaz gems in armor unless you have toughness issues

More to come..
