hello i am new to multiboxing but i am an experienced DDO player XD. i have done multiboxing with another game b4 "darkages"
was its name, it was a little confusing for that game we used the porygon app and dawalker it worked well but there isn't much to that game tho lol. i took a break from DDO and when i returned i decided to try to multibox it. after trying many different clients i settled in ISboxer, it has more features and better integration with the game, so on to my experiences.
i have 5 accounts first but i only play 2 at a time, my system is pretty gimp so i don't push it much harder than that.
there are many things i multibox for they are as follows.
1. collectible farming: more toons more chances to get the "good ones". i usually log 2 toons and farm a quest stupid.
2. vending: i usually log 2 toons and sell via the trade channel goods that i have farmed.
4. banking: 1 account is solely for storage and banking. use the multiboxing to exchange goods between my other accounts.
5. guild renown: 2 toons and executed the same as collectible farming. there are only 6 players in our guild "the hand of zeb"
6. questing: lol so this is the meat of it, i have set teams i run depending on what my guildies are doing, i have a tank named pretty hate machine, who i will either run with a TWF DPS build drow thief, the tank intims to grab aggro the thief diplos to dump aggro, and then back stab away, or i will run my warforged cleric hakked then my guildies bring DPS and we are set
. or i will run my 2 sorc team the sisters as the hand refers to them are a DPS engine, also this team uses most of the isboxer features available to DDO players, the broadcasting engine is handy then, i have set their action bars up identically
so when one casts the other casts, the tricky thing is in targeting, so you can broadcast mouse look across the system but it can get offset a lil so you have to watch it, but when the target is locked and both sorcs fire upon it, it is well worth it.
so i love boxing and the most success i have found is if you run 2 casters, take up a position, and have a rouge pull the mobs to that location, while the tank takes the aggro (intims while rouge diplos) that gives you time to lock targets and bring the rain. works great we have killed many dungeosn with the stratagy.
also working on full crowd control team with my tank and lvl 10 bard... these are the things that keep the game interesting. there are many reasons to multibox. And yes it is more challenging to multibox DDO in comparison to other games, but it is worth it, at least 1 multiboxer thinks so.
