    Default Will a 2-Man Paladin team be good enough to do instances with?

    In reading some of the other treands about the awesomeness of an all Paladin team, I was wondering how effective a 2-man Paladin team would be. RIght now I only have 2 accounts, but I MIGHT be willing to go up to 3 if it is worthwhile. One of my issues with multi-boxing is that I don't like the complexity of trying to control different class-types. I really have enjoyed doing duo's of the same class type though. So I'm wondering if a 2-man paladin duo (like a prot and retr) would be able to effectively handle instances the same way (or at least sufficiently enough) that the 3-man paladin team (prot, ret, ret) can. I'm mostly interested in PvE and I'd like to find a 2-man (or 3-man if I must) team of all the same class type that I will be able to do the 5-man instances with (as well as most other game content...within reason).



    Thoughts?

    I serously doubt you would be able to 2 man an instances at a level where you might gain any exp from it. My thoughts ...

    Low level instance - probably
    Same Level instance - Not possible for 2 Pallys knowing that you will have a Tank, Healer and DPS at the same time.
    @80 - Even with Ulduar Gears there is no way you can do 5mn instance with 2 Paladin

    If I have two accounts I would rather have a Pally + DPS but for questing and elite mobs only

    At the same time, if you can effectively control two toons...
    Let's say you cover the tanking and healing roles.

    DPS are a dime a dozen on most servers.
    Healers are way more rare then DPS.
    Tanks are usually more rare then healers.
    It's very easy to get DPS for just about anything.
    As you group a lot, you learn which DPS are good and which to avoid in the future.

    Control of the core of a group, and PUG the dps is an option.
    You'll certainly be able to do most non-instance content.
    Two pallies can BG/PvP fairly well too, if you want to gear that route.

    well im not really sure if u could 2 man instances.. but im not sure that is really what u meant.
    The only problem 2 boxing does not really increase productivity as much as 3+ does. As you may know multiboxing kinda does inhibit some ability to preform as you could with just playing 1 character, that is why more is better because of the increased dps. I think if u can go for 3. Make one a tank and the other dps. pick up a healer and a dps each time you run a instance to lvl.
