Okay, not really how many do you need but rather how many is it reasonable to work with. My first character was a druid. Granted, not easy as a starting character but I think I have the hang of it now and I’m very happy with the druid. I’d been doing a lot of soloing and small pickup groups. In the pickup groups I’ve filled both tank and healing roles. Heck, I’ve even covered both. I’m now at lvl 43. My wife got into the game and she and I both started mages. We quested together and stuck together and lvl’d together up to lvl 17. While this was great fun, it didn’t leave my wife with a character with which she could lvl on her own when I wasn’t available. So she started up a second character, a hunter. She worked on the hunter for a while and then when I got on, I returned to my druid. Well several times I’ve heard her getting frustrated by some mob that is beating up on her in a cave so I came over with my druid and flattened the cave so that she could finish her quest. Ever since, I’ve been spending a lot of time assisting her buy either hanging around and keeping her alive or plain flattening the mob that are attacking her. Her hunter is now at lvl 18 and I’m not making any progress with my druid. I don’t mind too much because it’s fun to help out and see her lvl but I’m starting to wonder if I should start up another character and catch up to her so that we can quest together again. I figure I could work at a priest. I don’t know if I can catch her. Especially since a priest is so squishy.
So, do I
- Stick with the druid and wait until she has lvl’d up to my size.
- Get my mage out and convince her that we don’t need to keep the mages together anymore.
- Start a priest and race to catchup to her.
