I was thinking of dual boxing a couple of necromancers for the dps possibilities with one tank and one healer merc. I was wondering if anyone here had tried it and if it was viable, or if I would be better off boxing a necro and tank class with 2 healers or maybe healer/wiz.
dual boxing necros can be an excellent combo for XP. You will need to use the correct dots and learn to work your alliance spell correctly without going oom. I do not know how a tank/clr merc would work in RoS, but in EoK the combo would be fine.
I've never been beyond HoT so that should be fine ^^ lol I just figured it would be an insane combo for dps. I'm not quite sure what you mean by alliance spell?
Nec/nec is viable in EoK, but your merc healer/tank will struggle to manage mobs in RoS. A nec/war will outclass a nec/nec combo in almost all situations. Nec/pal is an interesting combo since you can turn mobs undead and use paladin abilities against them.

All classes received a spell or ability in EoK (level 101-ish??) with "Alliance" in the name. These allow multiple chars of the same class to build up combos that eventually unleash a boatload of damage (in the case of DPS classes).
Thanks for the replies everyone, the necro/pally thing sounds cool in theory but warrior sounds easiest overall. I'm running a one screen set up so easier would be better in the long run. I assume the use of 3rd party software for boxing is still heavily frowned on?
