Thanks for the tips, I managed to pick up the CE for about $5 earlier today.

WoW dual boxing on the other hand, total pain in the ass.

This must be the joke, right?

For nothing more than PLing, try out PL Assist v1.26 - Windower.

i dont see how FFXI would be harder to dual box than WoW. WoW is in constant state of motion while FFXI you stand on the left or right feet for 15-20minutes.

most people must understand this. For dual boxing to be at its best, its better to play a tanking or melee job, and dual box a mage to cure yourself.

I dunno if anyone is good at nuking and kiting 2 BLM, but i certainly dont like it even after duakl boxing for 2 years. its tiring and very inefficient compared to dual boxing a nin + whm.

I believe the main purpose of dual boxing is to keep yourself(if your a tank) buffed, cured, so other ls member can focus on others making their job easier, and thus enhance the efficiency. It is not about coming 2 DRKs making full damage, having your fingers tied in macros, or even playing 2 BLM(fafnir etc where no running is required is ok tho) nuking KB, and kite diff directions.

I dunno if you guys get what i mean. but thats how i think about dual box.

I have friends who dual box PLD + WHM really well, and some that dual box rdm + whm and totally sucked at it. they dont even know curing who, with which cures LOL they are better off playing the RDM only or WHM only. dual boxing rdm and whm is really /huh

I've dual boxed mage+mage, mage+melee, melee+cor, tank+tank, tank+mage, 3boxed RDM BLM BLM in dyna a few times, never really thought of any combination as noticably harder than the others >_>

dualboxing two plds is the worst never again, it worked, but christ, just..no

Why? In WoW you have to hit a button every 1.5-2 seconds...in FFXI, a decent # of jobs have 10 second lulls, and the ones that do are the ones people will/are complaining about (ranger).
