    Default yes, worth it

    - although I have 5 accounts, I have more experience in duos than 5 boxing due to the fact that a few months ago, I knew only voice commander. This is suitable for 2 accounts but no more. Now with keyclone or other similar software, its easy to 5 multibox. Never say thanks enough to those guys,

    - with 2 guys compared to 3 or more, you don't have any group xp bonus but if you have just 2 computers like me, no need to play on windowed mode, you have your 2 guys, full screen definition, easy for collection quests, ready to jump to the second keyboard if need be (for rare spells 1 hour cooldown or whatever) so it has its advantages,

    - You have many possible combos, even the 2 palas mentionned earlier : one retrib and one healer. Almost any combos is possible (do some research on those forums) except maybe 2 pure melees together like 2 rogues or 2 wawas and even those are playable. Ive tried almost everything and for duos, I prefer to play different classes, except for mages. My 4 favorite combos are (combat rogue, balance druid), (affli lock, disc priest), (feral druid, healadin), (frost mage, fire mage). Im trying soon a (beast hunter, elem shaman). The tremor, mana and agi totem are too good to pass by,

    - Also, duos is a good alternative to 5 multiboxing : I have a 5 guys team (druid, pala, 3 mages) for instances but dislike questing with them (2 reasons : collection quests and too many people around me). On the other end, staying all the time in instances is quite boring for me. So, I split them up in 2 teams for questing and level them separately, putting them together from time to time for instances.

    Here is my two - bits. I 2 boxed for about 6 months. Was it fun yes ! Was it worth it to me ? Yes ! But a little heads up ... 3 and 4 boxing so much more fun. So if you can pull it off think of getting a 3rd account.
    Same for me. I started by two-boxing about a year ago, and it's MUCH easier for boosting when you already have one higher level toon. You can boost yourself through instances. It's especially fun to play the paladin/mage and shaman/mage combos. AoE with healing and buffs.
    I played a paladin/mage for a couple months, then dropped the idea and picked up 3 more battlechests in January.. and 5-boxing is even that much more fun.
    In short, having two accounts allows you to do so much that you wouldn't be able to do before.. so yes, it's worth it. I wanted to run instances without help though, so that's why I went to 5. Just cleared ZF at lvl 44, and it wasn't difficult at all. After a couple more runs/levels, I'm off to Mara for the Thrash Blade.
    Ex-WoW 5-boxer.
    Currently playing:
    Akama [Empire of Orlando]
    Zandantilus - 85 Shaman, Teebow - 85 Paladin, Kodex - 85 Rogue.

    Definitely going to 4-box Diablo 3 after testing the beta for how well this would work.
