Yeah - I think if you're coming to the forum to ask if you should dualbox, it's a pretty good sign you shouldn't dualbox.

What a silly and untrue observation to make

I think most people should learn how to play each role independently first. Get the basics down before even considering it.

Then make good macros.

There is no doubt that there are good dual boxers. But even then, you can clearly distinguish that they are dual boxing - the reaction speed and awareness is severely reduced from anyone that is decent on one character. Yes, it can let you do things because you have 2 chars to work with, but you will always be better off having 2 real players instead of 1 really good dualboxer playing 2 characters given equal skill.

Dualboxing will often push out a real player from your party when you would have been better off with them. Given the server growth, there is no reason to play 2 characters. You will find the members you need.


Agreed. There are enough people on this server now that we should be moving toward parties full of players, not just characters. Just because you're allowed to do something on this server doesn't mean you have to.

I started a few weeks ago, leveled a Taru (Sveni) with the mage jobs and noticed a lot of dualboxers, so decided to try it myself. It’s the best. I would never try to play them both in a single party, but Sveni tags along when I join exp parties with my Mithra (Mocha). Sveni was super useful in dunes, after dunes I’ve been focusing on my main except in emergencies, like sleeping adds and killing them later, or healing when tank is in red and healer is low on mp, but that doesn’t happen nearly as often once you get out of dunes. Ah, dunes, /sigh.

Also, I’m not very far into the missions, but having to do them over again is such a pain. I agree with the idea that if you’re gonna dualbox you should start early, see if you like it or not, and keep your characters on the same page so you don’t have to play catch-up.
