ok so I already posted the main of this post on eckythump's Best Duo post but I wanted to get a stricktly 2boxer pt of view...

Being able to play with Gamepads makes this game way easier to 2 box. For those that don't know 2-boxing is when 1 person controls 2 characters at the same time. as a Redmage, when I was near 20 I used to 2box my girlfriends almost 20 Blackmage with suprising success. The trick is macro's. I would main play the red and pull in the Peninsula near the Mhura zone. The black would sit and med while i went and pulled a dhamel, and as i came back into range i would hit 1 key that would make the blackmage stand, assist, and nuke the hell out of the dhamel, all the while I would tank and use cure2 as a Psudo-taunt. It's all about the hate managment. The AI reacts the same way every time and I could pretty much time it out to take Toughs and get 120-140exp apiece. while enthundered I was doing pretty good damage, but the Black was the killer. If the ***** hit the fan, I would hit the autofollow macro and zone into Mhura. In later levels my Red cannot do as much melee damage but with the right mob I am sure it would work, or I could switch to a palidin post 30. I considered, and still do, paying the extra buck to have my own character on her acct...lol In Everquest, I had 2 accts and 2boxed a Shaman, and a Necro with the necro's pet tanking. Wow what a combo... the necro is a nuker and the Shaman a buffer/healer. Makes me wonder if a Beastmaster and a Blk/Wht would be a great duo because the Bst can solo well into the later levels I am told and the Black/White has an amazing MP pool and cure 2 as well... Hmmmm ok all you beastmasters, team up with a Blk/Wht and tell us how the Duo is, ok?? Any other combos??

I've used a 28 white mage to bump up my Samurai class when I got it. Its easy once you get the hang of it, really....

WHITEMAGE:
/follow <t>
/ma Cure <t>
/ma "Cure II" <t>
/ma "Cure III" <t>

Their ya go. The real trick to it is letting the mage tank. A high 20's-30ish mage can tank up till Qufim. Was doing Dunes with white mage tanking. Just let the one you are PLing get hit a few, then a simple cure 2 will pull agro for a good long time at that level.

And groups in Qufim always love to have to have an outside healer too. So keep them going if ya can.
