Hello, new potential customer here. Let me give some background. I have been boxing 3-5 toons (and thinking of adding a 6th for full group) for many years and tried out some software from pcgametools last year but had too many issues getting it to work and recently found this website and been reading up on what ppl are accomplishing and it seems a bit more sophisticated, beneficial and geared more towards eq2 players so I'm thinking about giving it a try.
This software would also allow me to cut down to 3 computers (correct me if I'm wrong, here?) which would be awesome as I would need to buy a 5th and potential 6th computer in order to continue using the pcgametools software. My main computer is quite powerful (8 gigs of ram) so I'm confident it could handle 3 instances of eq2 and I have 2 other computers that are decent as well. The last computer kinda sucks and has lag issues but I could upgrade it. So ya, awesomeness if I can just have just the 4 computers running a full group of toons. Not to mention having 4 mice on the desk is quite enough.
Another thing I noticed is that this software can intelligently help with rogues' (and all the toons really) positioning to the mobs' rear, something I have had increasing difficulties with in my years of boxing. That is a BIG plus as far as I'm concerned. Group consists so far of zerk/monk, dirge, mystic, inquisitor, coercer.
Now to my question. I have had a berserker as a main since practically the launch and he's 90/300 with myth but I recently started a monk character on the same account due to the continual nerfs that zerkers have endured for many years. Seems any good abilities that zerkers get eventually get watered down over time, taken away or heavily nerfed, i.e. adrenaline.
I love my zerk but am really considering replacing him with the monk. Any opinions on this, taking into consideration the group makeup mentioned above? (which I can tweak as well if needed, coercer/inq only level 60'ish right now).
I also need a 6th, I would be glad to hear suggestions of what class would fit best into the group I have already or perhaps even broader group changes.
Other thoughts that have popped into my head include sending the monk off into his own account and using him as the 6th member of the boxxed team. That way I can still have the zerk MT (with the monk avoidance on him), a ready made off tank for situations that call for it, and I love the idea of group feign death (for those OH S---! times)
I would even consider betraying the zerk to guard in this situation (with the monk), since the zerk is designed to tank better taking hits. Since I plan to eventually take on harder and harder content it seems to me that avoiding getting hit would be smarter, right? Although I have to admit I would miss pulling entire roomfulls of mobs and laying waste to them all with my zerk. He's been a wonder at powerleveling all my other toons but that isn't going to get me where I want to go unfortunately.
Looking forward to hearing suggestions. Hopefully my rambling didn't put you all to sleep.
