It will get choppy when all of them are in Sanctum or another heavily populated area though.
I know it is bad but I am kind of vain I want to see Ultra graphics on my main window. When I can get a 6 core CPU (Bulldozer looks good on paper) I will be open to some more chars. If I can't do the dungeons at the moment then so be it.

You want at least 8 in pally to get the self heal. I go to 10 for the extra taunt.

You need to spam Call to Entrench every time it's available. Sergeant's Order actually pulls things to you -- like the Marauder pull from Warhammer -- which makes it a great tool for pulling. I will ussually SO a mob, hit another with Pin Target, and if need be, use Cracking Skulls or Shield Throw to aggro any mobs that don't want to follow my plan
Cool, I had something quite similar mapped out but haven't gotten in game to try it out yet. I notice you have put points in to the 1% gain branches, I mostly avoid them as see 5 points a bit of a waste for 5% of anything. 2% or higher I will put points in to like the armour branches. Do you think the 1% dodge, block etc are worth it?

Also played around with the cleric and will go a mix of Warden/Sentinel/Purifier.

The Rogue will go heavy Marksman to try and up the DPS.

That is good to know. I have my main char as the collector (mining butchering and foraging) and another char as outfitter/armorsmith/weaponsmith who is in the middle of the copper/cotton stage. It was taking a while to level him up and I notice the stuff getting cheaper on the auction house. Crafting isn't really my thing so will give it a miss for now and keep the materials for later.
