4 Boxing and story line

[Apatheist]

I agree with Merc. That's how I had my DK's set up, too.

SWTOR is not as easy to box as WoW was. It's not difficult by any means (though the setup is much more complicated). However, it doesn't have the ease of access that WoW has. IWT, addons like Jamba that automate quest dialogs, flight paths, etc. The SWTOR client is much less responsive than the WoW client, which makes click healing and target swapping (focus, target of target, etc) much more difficult. Lack of WoWs complex macro system is an obvious hinderance.

The thing SWTOR really has going for it is how low the player skill cap is. The game is much, much simpler to play well on a class level than WoW is. You have significantly fewer abilities to utilize, less complicated abilities, fewer cooldowns, vastly simpler rotations. An easier game means there's less difference between a boxed character and one that's being individually micromanaged.

I suppose it evens out. The game is easier but the client limitations make it less convenient.
