Going back to MB after an expensive hobby

[Diwa]

Out of curiosity, "Going back to multiboxing, after an expensive hobby"...
What was your hobby?

I left multiboxing for a reason of not spending $75/month anymore, only to end up with a hobby that will cost me more lol. I did Wedding videography for a year and the cameras, lenses, equipments, marketing were expensive not to mention weekends are very tiring not even close to what I'm getting on my day job. So I sold all of my stuff for now and rather enjoy my weekend. A new camera is soon to come out called Canon c300 and its $20K. I rather escape the hobby before temptation hits me lol


On Topic:
Thanks for the inputs.
So it seems that . 3 Sorcs + 1 PT is like the 4shamans+ Paladin of WoW.
How's the healing of 3 Sorcs on a DPS talent tree?

Heh, I shiver to think how much modding my car would cost me if I were to drop multiboxing as my main hobby.

Coming back to boxing since quitting WoW last year; I stopped (4) boxing just after Cataclysm release, dropping my accounts down to (2), and then eventually a single hard core raiding account. Initially started running (4) accounts so that my son and I could run heroics at our leisure without waiting forever to get groups; once the LFG system was implemented our reason became more of an obsession rather than a need.

Picked up the game around Christmas and we both enjoyed leveling up a tank and healer combo; as of late he has drifted back to WoW and his friends leaving me with a second account that has been begging to be used. I had to start a new log in name here as I cannot for the life of me remember which of the various incantations of user names I used back when we first started boxing. Looking forward to dual-boxing a new set of characters, but would like to find other likeminded folks who play regularly. Living in California seems to create difficulties with lots of guilds who end up starting raids while I am driving home from work.
Since I do not plan on running more than (2) accounts; doubtful my current system would be able to run (4) without some serious upgrading, would I be better served with dedicated DPS classes, say Merc/Soc , or run with a Tank/Heal combo. Played solo Jugg and really like the class, but lack of ranged support makes me wonder about the viability of boxing; could pair with a Marauder, but don’t relish the idea of doing the class quest twice on every planet.

You have two options (if you are interested in staying with the boxing community.) in game.
Option one: East coast server guild Revenant, which is a non-boxer led guild, but has several multiboxers from D-B.com in the same guild - Empire
Option two: West coast server guild Legion of Doom, which has multiboxers only - Empire
There is a Jedi guild on East coast server, but its rarely occupied enough.
Both are good guilds. Both have good people who can help do stuff.

As for group combos. Well, thats where it gets more into your own play style and opinion. Some people (like me), like to play multi class right out of the gate... whereas some still, prefer to level up 4 of the same class at a time, then pick and choose their groups at higher levels.

IMO - The Jugg or Merc and a Sorc is a fantastic combination.

Thanks for the fast reply; was looking at the possibility of LoD being a West Coast based operation. Generally past history has taught me that East Cost guilds don’t run when I am online since most of us have jobs that require sleep.

As to the combo Juggy and Sorc my question would be regarding Force Jump and how /follow works; many times I am running and click and jump to begin my attack. Will my Sorc continue to run towards my target, or will it get dumped and loose range? The Powertech/Sorc seemed well matched as they both start out ranged, with the PT being able to close the gap when needed.

Pyro-box, I love you for allowing me to use you right now...

MOSG2!!!! MANIFESTO....NAIO!!

Yes, sir. You can definitely operate a Jug and Sorc. Thats my fav combo, which im taking my time with right now. I have cashed in every "favor" from Mosg2, as he and I have perfected the combo setup. From personal experience, I am able to force leap, and maintain melee range with the Jugg, meanwhile the Sorc stays out of melee range if I want it to. If a target becomes out of range, a single button click while spamming, and the Sorc is right in the fight again. Not to mention the Sorc spam rotation is flawless. I wont tell Mosg2 "thanks" because it'll go straight to his head for helpin me figure out a better more efficient way of doing what I was already using from Mercbeasts Framework setup.

Needless to say, that combo (and im a bit biased), is a great combo.

[Pyro_box]

Then Juggs and Sorc it will be; this was the combination that my son and I were running and I truly love the synergy of the classes; glad to know that I will be able to run the boxed pair, albeit not as smoothly.
When I get home tonight I will begin again anew on the Rakata server and begin my hunt for members of LoD. It will be interesting to see how much harder SWTOR will be as Jamba spoiled me for a good long time in WoW.

Thanks again
