Thread: 4 vs 2 box

    1. Worth it? I would say yes. It's more loot, its more challenging and to me, its more fun cause its harder. But, it's slower to begin with since it requires far more coordination and looting can take forever to the point of boredom. But once u gear decently all for chars, it's very rewarding.

    2. Hard to tell without knowing your specs, but most likely yes. Just make sure to check Low FX on all 4 chars. From my experience, GPU means pretty much nothing to Diablo. CPU is all that matters so forget about that 4x Titan X SLI and just get the best CPU there is and overclock it. That will give you FAR more performance than the best graphic card out there. Maybe it's my case, but I have an Intel 4770K + SSD + 32GB RAM + Geforce 780 Ti and I have never seen the game reach even 80% of GPU. It's all on the CPU and overclocking my 4770K from 3.5GHz to 4.2GHz was noticeable.

    3. 100% viable, u just need to pick the right combo. Sure u can use with straight keys but honestly, it's quite boring. I like boxing cause it's a LOT more complex and the real fun starts when you start working on class synergies, skill rotation, round robins, different keymaps, etc. That's the part I just can't get from playing multiplayer with friends. It gets boring cause the game is too easy. Sure I miss the human interaction and all, but I love puzzles and figuring something difficult and see it work in game. Multiclass is all about making sure: 1) U get real benefit from leveraging synergies (buffs, debuffs, etc.) 2) you dont have dsyncs (movement speed buffs, teleport skills, long attack animations, etc.), 3) Proper keymapping so u dont need 20 keys to control your party. For example I'm planning to test a 3x HotA Barbs + 1 zDPS monk team or 2x HoTa Barbs + Hammerdin Crusader + zDPS monk to try GR70+.

    You cant do split bounties. Even with 2x, it's less efficient than regular multiplayer. Still, once you do like ... I dunno 10 bounties? U don't really need to do them more unless you wanna cube every single item in the game every season. That's gonna take FOREVER. But if u just cube the less than 15 items u need for your class, there's no real need to do that many. Also, if u do them on T10, u should get what u need quite fast (RoRG, GoW, etc.).

    Bounties are not the problem ... farming Keywardens is. Hellfire amulets are a MUST for certain classes and those can take forever. Sure doing T10 can help cause u get more map drops and more organs as well, but still, be ready to invest a few hundred hours on just this. Still its very rewarding and fun in a way :P

    I would say go for it, but again, it will be slow at the beginning. Also controlling 4 accounts can have a steep learning curve. U need to learn more about round robins to fully use IsBoxer and leverage those class synergies.
