How big of a team to just enjoy content

[Boxor]

Hello,

I'm looking for someone that can provide me with some LOTRO advice. I originally starting playing LOTRO with some friends, but they gave up after a while for whatever reasons. I leveled a guardian to level 37 and really enjoyed the game. The game is just beautiful beyond words and so big. I've never played any other game like it before.

So I'm going to go back and play it with a multiboxing team to see all the great content. I'm not interested in PvP. I might try some instances or skirmishes, but I primarily just want to enjoy the content and the epic storyline.

Six accounts means quite a dollar investment in that I'll probably go ahead and buy the Isengard expansion in order to go all the way to 75 as well as to get the many lower level expansion packs available. Six accounts also means doing a whole lot of boring collection quests along the way which really can drag down the enjoyment of the game.

I'm also not real sure on healing in this game. I've five boxed WoW with no problems using many addons with no problems. I've multiboxed Rift using a mage healer with no problems; but the bard class in LOTRO looks like it could be difficult to manage after tinkering with it last night. The same applies to the rune keeper class after a short time trying it.

So my questions are, do I need six accounts to enjoy the epic storyline? I remember several times in zones that had areas with elites and group quests that required several people to complete like the taking of weathertop for example. And for those with healing experience, what would be a recommendation for a healing class to handle the same content?

I would really appreciate comments and recommendations.

you can get all the expansion packs with out spending money you just have to build up enough points to buy them.

It's been a couple of years since I tried it, but I really loved the RK class personally, and they do decent healing and decent dps. For a group of six you could have two of them and mostly it would be like having two damage dealers.
