Leveling in SWTOR

[nodoze]

My brother and I are both running Counselors and having to do many things twice and that is more than enough such that I don't think I would enjoy doing 4 over and over...

When he is not on I dual-box & I find 2 challenging enough. I am running a tank/healer (Vanguard/Scoundrel) combo so with my two companions in DPS mode I have a full party if no one in my guild is on. I am doing this combo for the following reasons:

1) Since they are differnet classes I don't have to watch the same thing over and over and
2) I read that without a real tank & a real healer you can't do much of the content
3) the two companions add decent DPS hopefully giving me a full party that can do much content...
4) Since my brother and I are running Jedi together, this gives me a seperate story line to enjoy...

4 sounds like a nightmare, 2 is actually not bad at all. There is so much damn walking in the class quests that doing things 4 times would drive me crazy.

You have 2 options during class quests. Although you kinda have to guess sometimes which is a combat or non-combat quest, or use a guide.
Non-combat portions - Turn key repeater on so both of your guys move at the same time and can go through the map and convos together, but in their separate instances.
Combat - Usually easier to do it twice (you can have your second guy assist your first in his class quest, might have to turn the option on in settings if you disabled it.)

Have you turned on "Allow Access to Same Class Story Area"? That might enable you to only have to the character story instances once.

Hope it helps!

It is a pain, yes... the only good thing is the xp everyone gets from the bonus quests often present on the fighting zones.

Hmmm.. I did not notice the xp from the bonus quests... interesting.
