The Violet Hold

[Fuzzyboy]

I finally got around to trying off Violet Hold. It's a Black Morass style encounter which I think is fun although the xp is pretty sucky. Anyway, the mini-bosses I tried was pretty much dps fights, except the water boss which I had to pull to the entrance (so the water elementals can be killed at the stairs) - but I didn't get to fraps that encounter unfortunately. The end boss is fairly straight forward except the summon-ability, which is annoying, but not to an extreme degree - just back out and heal after it happens.

Thanks for your videos, Fuzzyboy. They are a good source of inspiration!

Great video once again fuzzy! I was laughing hard when I saw how you managed to kill the shadow elemental where me and a real group (PUG) wiped because we didn't know about the volley-adds and our dps sucked like hell and you just .. killed him with 2 or 3 max of those volley-adds. :D

Keep it up!

Haha, thanks I guess :-D

The good thing about multiboxing is the focus fire. Even though perfect castsequences aren't possible, 1-target-damage is our primary strength and we always do well on dps-type encounters. I still don't know how I'm going to do herald on heroic though - he's giving me nightmares. I'll bet that's his intention - the sneaky bastard.

I guess it's not possible to simply ignore your group members who are attacking you because they do shitloads of damage, huh?

[Fuzzyboy]

I don't know yet, since I haven't done it. I do know that they have 12k health on heroic (4k on normal). I assume they do more damage as well. While phased out like this you can't use /follow so you'd need to turn and target each clone individually. I guess it's somehow possible, but I don't know just how.

Ask ss2, its included in his Heroics completed pictures ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=16700') and hes running your exact setup.

I saw where you asked ss2 but I didn't realize you were asking in general, I thought you were asking specifically about Heroic. Create a separate macro:

/startattack
/cast or /castsequence (you know the drill here)

The /startattack is the equivalent of a tab kind of and they will start firing away. You may want to back them up first or may even have to get them facing the correct direction but at least then they are all contributing instead of justing standing there waiting on the one toon. Obviously you would combine this with ss2's suggestion of LoS the spell that causes the clones in the first place. I didn't know you could do that myself and with the above macro I haven't had too many problems so with the combination, this should get pretty easy.

I'll have to test it and see If I can make it work. And thanks for your suggestion :-)
