Marus Seru would be a painless place to 2box at that level.

Other possibilities:
Runnyeye
Echo Caverns
Upper Guk (high exp modifier)

It's possible to 2 box any zone, providing your camping spot has no cross traffic (wanderers). Adds are what hurts a 2 boxer. Things can get out of hand very quickly when your playing 2 or 3 computers or you have to switch between windows to save a character. I have 2 and 3 boxed since day one. All you really need to do is find the right camping spot and any zone can be camped with ease. To find good camping spots I usually go into a zone and just watch the mobs wander around for 20 minutes or so. When I find an area that doesn't appear to mobs wandering thru it, I set up camp. Later, if mobs do indeed wander through my camp, I just look for another spot. As the groups who often camped with me would say "you always find the best camping spots".

Take a look at the red con (lvl 28 to 32) goblins and crazed goblins in Butcher Block. I was taking them at 24 with winjon and someone able to heal. My gear was comparable to a level 34 paladin at the time and I did have SCHW.
If your still running in newbie armor look at shadeweavers thicket. Lots of db mobs that are around the zone. Some undead and some mid 20s hoppers as well.

I would recommend switching your paly to cleric because you wont be able to 2 box with a paly ranger combo very well at high levels. The cleric can complete heal your Ranger and give him some nice hp buffs or even a shaman would be nice for stat bufs and slows.

would be better changing ur ranger to a cleric rather than ur pally for the obvious reason that pallys tank better, but hes right in that a pally/ranger 2 box combo wont work very well.

True dat paly can tank better, but Rangers can sow and track. Both invaluable skills IMO. They are great at keeping agro as well. You just have to work on getting AC up as high as possible. I've groups with Rangers in BoT who have tanked.

ok if ya want sow and track + heals use a druid instead of ranger but unless you have access to lots of plat or an uber guild you dont want to be using a ranger as a tank. although rangers with the right equipment can tank in SOME situations a pally is far preferable to a ranger as a tank.

well the thing is i have a level 50 druid and the ranger on the same account the pally is on a new account i started not to long ago and eventually i want to be able to play him with the druid

i am 2 boxing the ranger and the pally together until that point because they happen to be close in level

so another question i have is what do you all think would be a good toon to start so i can team it up with the ranger at some point?

I'd go with cleric for the hp/ac buffs. You can't really go wrong with shaman either as the slow spells will allow a ranger the ability to tank. Personally I think a great combo is Cleric/Beastlord. Here you have heals/slows/rez/pacify. The only thing you miss out on is track. From what I have seen beastlords between thier pet and themselves can tank pretty decently with thier pet taking some of the damage.

I would second the cleric as the backup, in addition to the best heals in the game, you will get superior armor and hp bufs than pally at the same level. I have 2 accounts and this is where the combos are now (main is 54 chanter).

45 clc & 46 Pally - HGs in Mt of Rathe.

18 clc & 19 War - Bandits in N Ro

18 pally & 20 Rg - Crocs & Orcs in Oasis (will soon be moving to Ogres in Timorous Deep).

Befallen might be an interesting place to try as well.

Agree that 2 box works ideal in traditional camping areas, but adds (especially wanderers) are the ban for this.
