Hello!
Here's a new boxer also! I started boxing couple of weeks ago. First idea was to use couple of my higher level characters to boost lower levels but I have given up on that. Instead I started with 5 paladins and doing the normal 4 retribution, 1 protection route.
In the distant future when I'm 80 there is also lvl80 DK and Warrior waiting so I can get those geared also.
I chose the long route without RAF (it ended a while ago and I couldn't start boxing earlier due to some real-life issues). At the moment my protection paladin is at lbl46, 2x retribution are lvl45 and final two retribution paladins are at lvl38.
Lessons learned so far...
If going via RAF make sure they last equal times and do chain them. I could say this is now learned the hard way :)
AoE is killer for melee teams. The pulsing slimes in Maraudon are not in my list of favorite mobs
Playing without all the skills is boring. Autoattack, judge, consecration gets a bit old. I can't wait for additional skills to spam
I'm not using traditional ISboxer, or others since I'm running mac. I use Plexer by Owensd and I would like to thank him for the great software (And yes - network support would be excellent).
Make sure you have enough memory and CPU power. I'm boxing with 27" iMac and memory is must for multiboxer. Also you may have to tune down the effects while boxing in order to keep up nice FPS.
I also leveled group of four mages to lvl12. I already have fifth mage on lvl74. When my paladins are ready I'm sure I'll have great time blowing stuff up with 3-5x mage-group :)
