More strategy involved and different techniques in handling open spaces to tight confines, and ambushes when you're controlling two accounts at once. Ive tried a number of pairings that lend itself to this play style with great success (e.g. Defender/Mastermind, Scrapper/Controller). Boy, those high-damage sniper attacks in general are great for this playstyle set up the shot and switch to your other character fast to handle the after affects. Few questions to ponder as I explore this more: 1) I have never played an Arachnos Soldier character ever what would be a good suggested pairing when playing two accounts at once? 2) What archetype / power set offers the best damage buffs, bar none. Id like to create a killing machine with a buff-bot that does little more. 3) Last off, if youve never tried it, Dual-Accounting is great fun if you like to solo. Ive set up my own supergroup now with all my alts and already have a transporter with beacons and an inspiration rack where I like to store medium and large inspies for final battles. I have a lot of alts in a world of demon-slayers I'm playing in the style of Buffy / Winchester Brothers as part of the Super Group-- The V Helsing Group. Ive never had given this a shot without Dual-Accounting it. Again, thanks for all of your help in the last post. Im having a blast and look forward to a week off with some major COH time. s |
1) another soldier or a kin.
2) Kin/Sonic Defender
3) *points at signature* I already dual box... when I bother logging in.

I should mention setting up a solo/personal supergroup isn't solely for dualboxers. A lot of people do this to store their goods so that nobody else can take them, or simply for more storage space. It's sort of the CoX version of account storage prior to emails being able to store stuff and sent to yourself, but even so, the personal SGs win out due to being able to hold much more, barring certain things like recipes or influence. Emails even make it easier since you can send stuff to a character who's in the personal SG so they can store it (remember, you don't have to have every single character on your account in one SG, CoX doesn't limit you to joining one 'guild' per account). While dualboxing makes it easier to invite your own alts into your personal SG, people would also ask friends to help them invite other alts into their SG. :3

Hello all…
Thanks all for the great suggestions in my first post on Playing Two Accounts at Once.

I’ve learned a lot. Hands down, this community is fantastic in sharing knowledge and promoting fun exploration of the game. I’ve come to enjoy the game much more, and feel less grind and more strategy in playing two characters at once. More strategy involved and different techniques in handling open spaces to tight confines, and ambushes when you're controlling two accounts at once.
I’ve tried a number of pairings that lend itself to this play style with great success (e.g. Defender/Mastermind, Scrapper/Controller). Boy, those high-damage sniper attacks in general are great for this playstyle… set up the shot and switch to your other character fast to handle the after affects.
Few questions to ponder as I explore this more:
1) I have never played an Arachnos Soldier character ever… what would be a good suggested pairing when playing two accounts at once?
2) What archetype / power set offers the best damage buffs, bar none. I’d like to create a killing machine with a buff-bot that does little more.
3) Last off, if you’ve never tried it, Dual-Accounting is great fun if you like to solo. I’ve set up my own supergroup now with all my alts and already have a transporter with beacons and an inspiration rack where I like to store medium and large inspies for final battles. I have a lot of alts in a world of demon-slayers I'm playing in the style of Buffy / Winchester Brothers as part of the Super Group-- The V Helsing Group. I’ve never had given this a shot without Dual-Accounting it.
Again, thanks for all of your help in the last post. I’m having a blast and look forward to a week off with some major COH time.
