ok so I'm completely hooked...
I bought my second account on this past Saturday and last night I found myself standing in line in Best Buy with a second Warchest in my hand to make my third account.

Ive been leveling a pair of Warlocks and that has been going great. I picked the class because Ive already got a 70 lock I have raided with so I felt I know the class pretty well and figured that would flatten the learning curve for multiboxing just enough that I wasn't going to drive myself crazy. So that brings me around to my question

Keeping in mind that this is my first set of toons is it more advisable to stay with 3 of the same class to begin with or should I put a priest/pally/druid/shaman in the group? I don't have the hardware to go to 5 so the likelihood that this will ever be anything but a BG-PvP group is minimal and while a healer would be good in BGs its not like Im going to ever try to solo an instance with these toons.

I guess what this question comes down to is this
Keep it simple or jump in the deep end of the pool?

Personally, given what you've said your goals are, I'd stick with 3 of the same. When I play BG, I don't even bother bringing a healer along :)

The only down-side with your choice as it stands is that when they hit 70, you'll have... four warlocks! Although I understand your reasoning, I'd be tempted to go with three priests, shammies or druids so you have at least a little variety.

Any of those can be either DPS or healer, and druids can also tank properly so you have a hugely flexible set of 70s when you're all done.

Having said that, I absolutely love 4 locks in world PvP - die, res, dot, die, watch enemy die, res, camp.... muahahahaha......

whatever you do... remember to 'recruit-a-friend' from your existing account to on your new accounts...

save yourself a month per account

after that... don't forget to post some pics of your crew as they grow up :D

I concur with the "stick with the same class" idea. You'll appreciate the synergy more at first and it does simplify things. Then, later, you can add another account for a tanky/healery type or even another lock. :)

Good luck with it all!

THREE ROGUES!!!!

...just kidding...

I would stick with the 3 warlocks. I think you will be surprised at what you can pull off with some creative use of a tanking pet and Health Funnel.

Yep, definitely go the 3 locks. 4 locks at 70 is pretty awesome in BG's....hello SoC spam! :)
