Considering a setup where I run 3 instances. I really like the idea of having a BO barb follow me around game to game and having the ayers 3 on my solo mf runs. A few basic questions:

1) is this kosher? Am I breaking blizzard rules by doing this?
2) what are the best support builds for 3 man team? BO Barb + merc enchant sorc?
3 I assume these guys just chill in town and buff you pregame. Are there any other elements to this?
4) whats optimal here at ladder start? Run 1 instance as sorc and grush your followers later?

Any other basics appreciated!

blizzard allows it, otherwise 95% of “hardcore” players would be banned

1) Not if done right
2) Sure. A few ways of doing it. definitely some sorc and bo barb
3) Horking, auras
4) Yes.

1. Grey area. Terms of Use has some really manipulative language and they could suddenly say multi boxing falls under being bannable, but they never will because that locks them out of getting the many customers who buy accounts/keys (especially 'hardcore' players)

2. Depends what your main character is you're mfing with... But bo barb is always BIS.

3. Nope you basically described it. Sometimes people will go the extra mile and use their bo barb to hork corpses of heralds for extra sunder drop chances though. Some use paladins to follow them with auras. Difficult to do it playing solo without scripts though.

4. That idk, I always start as a sorc for ladder because Blizzard sorc is extremely strong even in all basic shit and cheap runewords. Really easy to use it to gear up early on.

Pretty sure it's tos and blizzard only allows it in wow.

point it out to us, dont be pretty sure.

quote it from tos

hacks; i.e. accessing or modifying the software of the Platform in any manner not expressly authorized by Blizzard; and/or
any code and/or software, not expressly authorized by Blizzard, that can be used in connection with the Platform and/or any component or feature thereof which changes and/or facilitates the gameplay or other functionality;

Process explorer is not blizzard approved. they probably don't care until they do its a grey area but blizzard is well known for saying nothing then just banning everyone. everyone just assumes because they haven't been banned that its fine.
this is the quote people use to justify its allowed in d2r

Ladder start, make a rusher, 48 bumpers, and maybe find a jah

That says nothing about multiple legitimate games, and PE is a windows 10 tool, and Battlenet literally states windows 10 as a requirement. In fact I believe enterprise installs of windows 10 has it without even downloading it.
Would be like blizzard saying “we don’t support .bat files” or powershell🤦‍♂️😂

people have already been banned running powershell scripts. just because something is made by MS doesnt allow you to modify how the game runs. i dont think anyones gonna get banned for running multiple games anytime soon but it should be stated to do so at your own risk
