Hi all.
After I lost the interest in WoW where I was multiboxing for some time now, I saw that EQ2 went into F2P, so I dusted off my old EQ accounts. I currently have a midlevel Fury and Coercer, both on the same account, though I haven't been in a lot of places yet. I love to take my time and to enjoy leveling up.
So now that I am back in the game, I would love to start boxing again. I am thinking on combinations and possibilities. Since I am running a single machine, I doubt I can get more than 3 instances to run at once. I will try for four, but I seriously doubt it. That brings me to my class setup. I mentioned my Fury and Coercer, so it would be great to have one of those included. What I was thinking so far is as follows, please criticise and improve, I have been away a long long time from EQ2. Also, if possible, I like to stay on the evil side of things. So unless it was changed, Paladins, Troubadours, Monks are out of the scope, iirc.
Guardian, Coercer, Inquisitor (add Brigand/Swashbuckler if my machine can handle four instances):
The holy triangle from EQ1 more or less. Will this work? Can I run dungeons with this while leveling up? Is the dps enough? Should I swap the Guardian for a more offensive oriented tank maybe? Do these classes require a lot of micromanaging, or are they "easy" to box?
As I said, I am not looking at endgame or high level content for now. But I would love to explore the existing dungeons "on the way". Am I safe with that setup? Any major problems I am overlooking?
Regarding my machine setup, how do you run multiple instances of EQ2? Do you use the same directory to start all, or do you have multiple installations to run from?
Thanks a lot,
vorticone
