Actually the people that simul play two characters in our guild do so quite
effectively. Like I mentioned before though, 2 are warrior/cleric combos
which might make it a little easier? Another is druid/cleric and a fourth
does monk/chanter (I think that's gotta be tough). Thats all I can think of
right now. I think after a while you just get used to it but I trust any of
those players enough to enjoy being in their groups :)
