View Full Version : 6-boxing Naxxramas?

I have six WoW accounts (and I'm not planning to buying any more (knock on wood, knock on wood)). I have been clearing heroics for drops and badges and I have never had any intentions to try anything else, but now a new idea popped up in my head: Would it be possible for me to run Naxx-10 with six chars?

My chars are mostly epic geared now with a couple of occasional blues here and there. I have never run Naxx before, not even solo, so I don't know how hard it is or if the fights are multiboxing-unfriendly.

Any thoughts? Should I try it or will it just be suicide?

I believe there's a video of a multiboxer clearing a wing of Naxx with 5 players (and only 5). I haven't watched the video, but the comments describe it as amazing as you would expect when a solo player can successfuly clear 10 man content.

it may be possible but any bosses with enrage timers may be a bit of a stumbling block. the 5 boxer only did the plague wing none of those enrage.

Still pretty damn amazing in my book.

yeah if you read my comment in that thread you can see im stoked on it too. i was saying it that way to show that that may be the only wing that's possible with 1 tank 1 healer and 3 dps :)

You should run Naxx in a pug with 1 character to learn it. It will be much easier on your repair bill when you try doing it yourself. Sometimes boss fights are hard to understand even after watching videos.

another thing i was going to mention is that its not like wow has persistent death... just go give it a shot :) but yeah get in a pug or 2, watch some videos (i suggest the tankspot ones theyre very well done), and run some more heroics for the new badges and get some nice gear that way then go wtfpwn some naxx. theres a lot of restrictions with only 1 tank and 1 or 2 healers but you should still be able to find something fun to do in there.

To run naxx with less than 10 people, you basically have to either overgear it, or at least be decked out in full heroic gear. The bosses hit harder, and there's a lot more going on elsewhere. There are a few fights that normally require an off tank, and an off healer, and very often an additional raid healer.

I echo the previous responses. Pug it once to learn the fights, then try it with your 6. If you have enough DPS you should be fine. Nearly every naxx pug I went with there was usually 1 or 2 clueless people, that did barely 1k dps and we still made it. If you have a team full of 3k DPS toons, you have a shot.

And if 6 boxing it doesn't cut it, make a friend or two and try 8 manning it, or get 4 friends and 10 man it. I've found that in raids, if I limit myself to 2 roles, I do much better.

On the other hand - you can easily 6 box Flame Leviathon in 10-man and probably 25-man. The record for a 25-man FL kill is 4 seperate people I think, so 6 controlled by one person would be pushing it. But we've had guild clears with 10 people and its pretty easy then.
