How many?

[Lyonheart]

Ok, I just made a post a bit ago about how i switched to horde side in WoW, due to being bored. I could not stay logged in, even on horde side! I am done with wow for now. Maybe Ill try it again in the future, not sure. Right now I know a few things: I always liked EQ2...but not having friends there made it feel lonely. I have recently tried Conan again ( fun but not boxer friendly ) And LotR..So what I do know is its EQ2 if I'm going to MMO 8)

So I will be starting a new team on Nek( have one on BB server ) .. so I can be on the current "MB server" I hope you guys over there have room for another 8) So my question is.. Six accounts seemed a bit overwhelming for me when i tried it last few months. I'm thinking, will 4 be enough to do most group content? I can always mentor down and level two more later if I feel the need, right? I say 4 because I can box them on two PCs ( 4 screens ) and have more eye candy turned on. I like seeing all the screens in full view. If i decide later on to go with 6, Ill do two more on my laptop ( or buy a 3d PC )

So with 4 accounts, I will be playing an SK tank. not sure what the other 3 will be yet, Ill read the info here and figure it out. I'm just wanting to know if 4 is enough to clear most dungeons ( minus 2,3 ups of course )

Sounds good. I like the idea of 4 to start. Just not sure what combo yet. SK for tank for sure and I want casters for dps I think. So healer/bard/mage type

I 4-box with Guardian, Templar, Warlock and Illusionist.

I read a post here mentioning not to take a bard for a 4-man group, as they benefit larger groups more. A 4-man group is just the trinity 3-man group of Tank, Healer and DPS with 1 extra to help out in taking on either larger pulls or speeding up boss kills.

A DPS/CC class would fill this roll.

But for the 4th pick, you really can't go wrong, as long as it can DPS.

I'm playing 4 as well, Guardian / Warden / Wizard / Illusionist

btw Lokked, how do you like Templar and Warlock?

[Lokked]

I don't have much of a reference. Guardian (at my level) has difficulty maintaining AE threat. I only have 1 AE taunt and 1 AE attack. On large pulls, the Warlock almost always pulls agro with his AEs.

The guardian never goes below max health, considering he doesn't take much damage and the Templar's Reactive Heal covers what he takes.

Still too early in the game for me to make a judgement, I guess.

On large pulls, the Warlock almost always pulls agro with his AEs.My Warlock has only pulled aggro once from my SK, and that mob got one hit in before I Harm Touched him to death. :evil:
But, I also have a seperate key for AoE's, so I know to start building up extra aggro on the tank before I use that.

I do a 6 box.



Guardian for tanking

Conjurer with wariorpet for offtank

Templar for healing umph

Warden for more healing and utility

Wizard for BOOM

Illusionist for uitility



lvl 49 now and rising fast. DPS is peachy and finaly i get to see all the instances :). I use the innerspace/keyclone combi for easy playin

[Frosty]

I use the innerspace/keyclone combi...
Not that I don't like Keyclone, it is an awesome program (and I have a paid copy of it :thumbup: ), but I don't think you need to run both of them if you are running innerspace.
Seems like you are using up extra processes/resources? If you have a beefy system, it probably isn't noticable though.

BUT, I could just be assuming you are only on one pc from your post too. :P
