Yesterday I logged into my BT-geared mage to do some dailies for a change from the non-stop 5-boxing I've been doing the past few weeks. I'm doing SS dailies and thinking, wtf, why does it take so long to kill things? I mean, 3 frostbolts if nothing crits, that's over 7s per kill! If I get a resist then it'll take even longer -- lame.
I could still do 10mans or 25mans with just 1, because it's more about the people then
you can play WoW with just 1 toon? what a bizarre concept 8| /boggle
I'd never level a solo toon any more, and probably not duos. Heck, when my tank for my 5 man group got behind due to boosting, I used him to boost 3 warlocks and another paladin, to boost my tank... I know, confusing. But i've become such an altaholic, I'm already planning boosting at least 4-5 more configurations of alts (4x mages, 5x hunters, 5x shaman, 3x paladin, 3x rogue, 3x druid, etc etc) Right now my main goal is to boost my tertiary paladin to use him to boost my secondary paladin. After I finally got my first 70, I was like "I wonder what x class is like" but I just couldn't bring myself to level anything past 12. The thought of doing it all over again kept me from actually doing it. Playing 5 adds a challenge, some excitement, and such utility, that it makes the leveling part actually fun, even multiple times (I must have ran deadmines like 4 times with my group, and like 40 times with my 70 as a booster) and only after the 30th odd run did I get bored, then I moved to SFK :) Solo is definately the new gimp.
Solo play at 70? Maybe when I want to "think small" I did a bit of kara with a random pug, (just did trash, as 3 people never showed up, and people were leaving faster than replacements were arriving, oh how I wished I had 4 more 70s to fill in the blanks...) and I was bored to tears. It was a huge load off though, and I was able to surf the web much easier than when doing 5. When I don't want to do 5, I will probably 2-3-4 box different combos to level them up, etc.
If a druggie has been addicted too crack for a few years, and tries some 5x consintrated stuff, you think he will want too go back...
I still solo play quite often (by which I mean a minority of my team, but often once or twice in a week). Really depends on the class, though, some are fun to play solo as there's a lot of complexity to playing them really well -- lots of tricks that are hard to exploit in multiboxing. Other classes make me want to poke my eyes out.
Yes, Multiboxing is just a 'hobby inside a hobby'. Arena is the only thing that interests me solo mind you - although I don't mind healing a group, 5 mans and such. (Multi box raiding amirite? imrite)
SOLO IS THE NEW GIMP! :P
The only time I would solo would be to play a class that doesn't multibox well...like a rogue for example.
Cheers,
Stealthy
Yes.Quote:
Would any of you be able to do "normal" play again?
I play solo characters several times a week for raiding / non-attention-grabbing relaxation.
