hi all!
Ive been alt-tab boxing for a year before getting into MQ here a few months ago. I was a 20yr absent player just checking it out for old times sake, and really enjoyed the quality of life fixes (mercs and all). Started the second account shammy about a month in, and had a blast running though the old zones (and checking out the content i couldnt get to back in the old days). Added the third bard account not long after that, because bard, and then started my mage account and then the druid to port everyone around come a year out.
Loading up everything by hand and running around is a real pita, and of course very underperforming (though find for grinding and lower level zones). Often i would just load up a couple of toons to run around and do hunters and such. It wasnt planned but i ended up with a 120 ranger (enjoyed playing it so much), and grouped with my mage it was a kick ass combo. The pulling, CC, dps, tankage worked great together and the mage pet takes so little damage that the combo can heal decently enough even. On bosses needed to pop the healer merc though.
Well, now that im using CTWN plugins and other automation loading and moving is not a issue anymore =).
But I just had an item to grind out where a full crew would be overkill (green cons). And since a public zone i wanted to bring the small team as possible. I ended up trying my paladin and mage (no merc) and they kicked ass. Not something thats going to work at higher levels, but was a fun grind session watching them tear through everything. the mage puts out killer dps on greens and paladin more than able to tank large packs of greens.
Do other folks run just a couple of your toons sometimes? Have a favorite duo?
Happy MQing all, and thanks to the devs and folks here who have given eq extra life!
