<DIV>My guild is very small and we're usually only enough online to make 1 group. We also have constant lack of healers because that class' playstyle isn't very attractive to most of our players. So when one of my friends quit the game and gave me his account, I decided to make a healer that I'll 2box.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I would like a nice buffer that doesn't require too much attention other than the clicking a heal hotkey and maybe a debuff now and then. Which would suit me well? I'm thinking templar or fury. But our regular healer is a fury, and I've heard that two of the same class doesn't complement each other well in a group or small raid.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I'm a level 60 SK and my goal is to take down some of the easier epics when grouped with the guild and some heroic named when I solo/duo.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Anyone got any experience with that sort? Any tips?</DIV>

I would go for an inquisitor or a defiler for the debuffs.. though I'd wait for the more experienced shadowknights to give their opinions as well (: <div></div>

I had a guildie who 2boxed a inquis/SK. too bad i can't remember the reasons he told me why. It seemed to work well for him atleast. <div></div>
I've got a lvl 31 Inquisitor that I've 2boxed with a Beserker and I did quite well with that combo. The single/group reactive heals make it easier to concentrate on tanking. Just get the timing down (because the reactives take a long time to cast) and you'll be all set. Besides... nothing compliments a Shadow Knight better than an evil priest/priestess... :smileyhappy:
I'd say Defiler because it's also a disease based class and should help to maximize the dps of your duo.<div></div>

<DIV>Absolutely Inquisitor. Since you will be two boxing and not fully focusing on either character you will benefit a lot from the Inquisitor ability "Zealotry" at level 50. It's a quick casting low power channel which grants intelligence and a large attack haste to the party, and you could toggle it when not needing to heal, allowing you to maximize your play focus and party contribution.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Also to my understanding wards prevent our damage shield from activating, which makes it more difficult to hold hate, reducing defiler usefulness.</DIV>

while wards may decrease our DS effectivness can they disease debuff? Is so how much and would that be worth the DS decrease? <div></div>

I play a SK/Mystic duo... There are probably better combos, but I do okay. <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> I mainly wanted to comment that mobs hit for 0 when you have a ward on, so DS and reactive lifetaps, etc still proc when a ward is up. <div></div>

Fury/SK combo is pretty nice, duo'd with one plenty of times, they give awsome INT buffs, one is group and one is single target, they can buff you up about 150 INT perminantly. Also bloodlust (i think its called) gives you a nice amount of STR/AGI and a proc to increase Attack Speed and DPS up to 50%. i've never duel boxed characters tho so i dunno the ease of duel boxing a fury as compaired to a cleric class. honestly i think duel boxing is very homorific and only lonely boring queers do it <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />It's pretty homorific when out of nowhere a chanter mezzes the mob you were about to pull and waits there for a few minutes with the mob mezzed then you realize the person was getting there second boxed character there to actually kill the mob, so i started running around in circles and oops i trained them <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> and now the person said he wishes for me to get hit by a automobile or something/Its pretty [Removed for Content] when one person can duel box and kill/farm take a camp for themselves when it takes multiple real people to do that. i mean get a life/realjob! maybe make some friends in the game and farm with them instead how its supposed to be done.I really hope you all scream at me for saying all this i wanna hear it all.<div></div>
