A method to the madness
Hey, Methodical...
Ah, yes, it was your hunters I came upon in Bree one evening. I gave you the names of my mains and added you to my friend's list.
How are you fairing with doing Skirmishes with your guys? I had only got my three RKs up to max level and tried several Skirms with them. It seems that the tiered difficulty increase is substantial and I have yet to overcome this aspect. I used to love doing Strike Against Danenglor with my solo hunter as it was very quick (especially if you skip the encounters and counter-attacks).
However, I have been getting my hide handed to me when attempting this same Skirm as a three-man with my RKs (each with a Protector). The fact that the end boss now spawns waves of fire grim makes it an impossibility for me to focus on the boss. If I turn to the adds, the boss chews me up. I can only imagine what the increased difficulty is like for a six-man Skirm.
I actually started three F2P accounts and have purchased three Moria boxes for the free month and RK/Warden unlock. I'm hoping that the focus fire of six toons will more than compensate for the increased difficulty of a six-man Skirm. Though...that's what I hoped when going three-box.
I hope that a different group makeup will fair better results. I imagine that six Wardens could tear stuff up.
Let me ask this: Has any multi-boxer here done three- / six-man content using nothing but LMs? I would think that, specifically in Skirms, this would be a formidable force. With pets and soldiers, you could walk into a six-man Skirm with 18 toons under your control. The same would be for Captains but I just cannot see anyone running around with six of them as there would be a lot of wasted non-overlapping/complimentary skills.
With the coming changes to LMs for the November update (whenever that may be), it looks like they will become even more powerful (I've already got my six LMs to level 10 and the power they wield is ridiculous as is). The stacking of Burning Embers will be nice (though I've yet to encounter a mob that needed more than the initial hit from six of those to take it out)--especially with the fire debuff LMs can apply.
I also think that RKs, with a little rotation change, are actual becoming more powerful ( thanks for fixing Fall to Our Wrath Turbine!).
I'm sure that I will someday switch to a mixed group setup but I'd like to get all of the same-class groups to max level first so that I am completely playing each independently.
Happy hunting!
