Getting started with 2-boxing SWTOR

[Apps]

Thank you!

You're welcome.

I was thinking more like boxing a tank/healer with dps companions, or a Tank/tank with healer/healer companions. Make your Tank's dps tanks or something. The companion system if its robust enough to not have to 4 box stuff.

Depending on your current level of awesome... you can dual-box HEROIC+4 stuff. HEROIC+2 is easy and often soloable. RAID (Flashpoints) are NOT two man-able while attempting to use companions in the place of actual characters.

1. The healers are smart, just not predictive or focused. They wont stop an action to heal you at the moment you need.
2. DPS is no where near an actual player
3. Tanks do not have the gear or enough mitigation to be an effective tank... if you pull off it, its yours... they arent smart enough to save a taunt and pull it back.
4. Companion DPS constantly breaks CC's with AoE. They dont care.
5. Two maning a FP is doable, but only when you out level and out gear the FP significantly, while using companions.
6. Of course, companions cant join in the warzones.

I believe the companions are there to help the story along while doing the PVE stuff minus Raids.

So far, my favorite team is a Jugg and Sorc combo. They each have enough companions to allow me to inter change them and accomplish whatever I am up against at my level. The Jugg is Defense with dps gear. The Sorc is Madness with heal gear, and a few points into heal. When faced with some Republic scum, I am able to blow away my opponents in world PvP easily up to about 7 levels above me, and if I focus, and with all skills /attacks at my disposal... even up to 10 levels above.
