Boxers of Blackhand - Sound Off!

[zanthor]

So I ran acroos Dustinpalmer and his crew this morning, logged my allie alt in and said Hi! Anyhow, I'm curious about other boxers on Blackhand... sound off, who are you, what do you do, etc?

Who are you? - Team Doublemint 70th (Mage^2, Priest^2, Paladin), Sam I Am 70th (Shaman^5), Hexed (4 locks, 1 drood)

What do you do? - Software boxing, Keyclone is my main tool, I used to use a wide mix of tools for UI Mods but now it's Macaroon & Jamba. Focus is PVE but I've dabbled in PVP, I can see doing some serious PVP @ 80 when the field is leveled. I've used anywhere between three computers and just one, right now I box on a dual core phenom with 4gb ram and an 8800gt... runs smooth enough but if I get into PVP seriously I'll probably add at least two more systems since more than dual boxing on a machine leads to unacceptable latency at times.

Why do you do? - Raided 4 days a week for a long time, fell out of that slowly and discovered I despised PUGS and many of my guildmates schedules didn't match up, so I started multiboxing... Already had three accounts, so picking up the 4th and 5th (now 7 total thanks to RaF) was an easy transition.

Lets hear it!

I turned my sound off. Now what?

Well i posted this a while back on the screenshot topic. i need to update it with my lvl 70's and pvp/pve teams. my sig is all my 70's though

was fun to run into another boxer though, i was a little confused by the "Jenkins" on all your chars, i've been seeing tons of Jenkins since the patch, and it took me seeing multiple at the same time to figure out it was an achievement name lol

my 3 mage+boomkin+shaman is crazy aoe, but for pvp its useless unless i charge in on people not looking. 1 warrior or 1 ret pally can completely own me. that new 1.5 min cooldown warrior Whirlwind (blade storm or w/e) and the pally in a bubble aoeing = gg all 5 chars dead pretty much.

My team is on Blackhand as well.

Who are you? Well we don't have a formal name, but the guild calls us Team 5 box. (*wonders why he chose the pronoun "us" when he plays all the characters*) Currently, I have Maxel (70 Prot. Paladin), Lanon (70 Holy Priest), Grifften (70 Aff. Warlock), Levin (70 Arc. Mage), Levinor (70 Arc. Mage) (working on Talanon 66 Bal. Druid). I also have a set of 4 shaman alt's I've been working on who are collectively stuck at 25 outside SM. After boosting the mages, I'm having a hard time bringing myself back to SM to boost more levels.

I started off originally about 4 months after live release boxing the core 3; Paly, Priest, Lock. It was a ton of fun, but just couldn't get past the hump of a few instances. Especially, before the addition of Keyclone (God Bless you good sir). I then added the Mages on after TBC started and have never regretted the decision.

What do you do? I software box using Keyclone on 2 pc's. My focus is all PVE and very rarely if ever do I engage in PVP. Lately however, I've just been wasting time waiting for the xpac.

Why do you do? I find it much more relaxing to play my own team. I've been boxing various games starting with EQ back in oh what was it, 98? I loathed picking the "wrong" class mentality. You know, the one everyone plays that can rarely get groups. I like variation too much and with boxing, I'm completely able to do different, albeit often slower, things and enjoy the similarities as well as differences amongst the classes. I also dislike taking 20 minutes to get a group going and suddenly someone has to log because they forgot to do their homework. Further, I'm perfectly content with my own humiliation of failure and satisfaction of success and don't need the Xbox Live kiddies (no offense to the younger crowd) screaming at me for mistakes.

That's me in a nutshell. We should all rally and hit a few instances / raids together sometime. Could be good fun.

Hit me up on Maxel in game.
