Decided to go back to naxx again to see what I could do now that my multiclass team has been lvl 80 for about 3 weeks.
First time I was there was a day after hitting 80, wearing blues, couldn't kill the first gargoyle.
This time I killed that, and a whole lot more.

Loatheb (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEVyJUseC9k&hd=1)

Patchwerk (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhQfrWdbm-I&hd=1) !

And a couple other new videos I just posted:

Please post comments here, on the videos, and my channel, if you feel like it :)

If you don't mind me asking, how is your tanking, dps and healing setup? Do you use a /click approach? Particularly interested in the healing side of things.

I assume that was an innervate towards the end of Patchwerk that kept your priest's mana up?

O o i got a question!
So im thinking about making a 5 druid team, but whats really holding me back is the fact of watching procs on the eclipse, I noticed u went back and forth, wrath, starfire, wrath starfire.. Im wondering how good is the dps compared to the DPS on if you did wrath untill proc, the starfire, then back to wrath after the proc ended?

Thanks so much, looks sic!

well i have 2 things:

1. interesting way to do heiogan, ie not moving i guess it makes sense since you have dedicated healer, very nice.

2. Your ui makes my eyes bleed, your addons take more than 50% of your screen x.x

Haha you were so close to wiping on Patchwerk. Did your healer use a mana pot or shadowfiend?

Patchwerk was a close call indeed. Grobbulus is going to be a movent-intensive fight though and thaddius is downright impossible since you have to get rid of the two adds before him. I might try this myself and clear plaguewing just for the hell of it.

Hehe yes, I made a ton of mistakes on Patchwerk, burned shadowfiend and innervate really early, innervate just barely came back up to save me at the end. Popped a mana pot on the priest when you see me open my bags.
Also I popped my divine protection and pain suppression too early, before his soft enrage, which I'm not sure if might have been a good thing after all due to my priest's mana issues at the time.
Watching my video I realized I should have dropped mana spring totem and strength of earth instead of tremor and cleansing (both useless that fight), but thats just something I'll do better next time. :)
I love how making videos of stuff allows for learning about mistakes like that. ^^

My druid's castsequence is horrible indeed, does decent dps still though, and I'm only still using that macro since it gives me more overall dps on trash instead of my other one that casts faerie fire, inseact swarm and moonfire first on every target and which also has a better rotation, I just have not been bothering to have different macros for trash and bosses, but I think I should take the time to switch her macro for bosses like this at least.

Not using /click for anything other than popping my cooldowns macros on my dps due to space limitations atm.

I will be posting a full writeup about my macros, keybindings and addons soon (gotta get through this week of college projects hell first).

I know my UI is kinda messy atm, due mostly to switching from one monitor to two, and not adjusting my UI to the bigger windows yet, will be doing that after christmas though, just not doing it sooner since i'll be playing on a single monitor again while I'm home for the holidays and copy my wow settings with me when I go there.

Nice work.

I have 5 boxed Sarth myself. It's not too bad. Although the drake that you have to go in the portal was already down from a failed group when i finished the rest.

Anyone know what happens if you have all your characters go into the portal?

Gratz, and thanks for the movies :) I'm looking forward to seeing your progress through naxx.

The boss (and add) despawn, and reset (just boss) after about a minute or so. Handly if you're gonna wipe. :)

How does your shaman maintain such high mana throughout those long fights? I run Pally, Priest, 3xShaman, and the shamans all have pretty similar gear to yours but they run low on mana by the end of the fights.

I had another blast at Patchwerk last night and got him to 100-150k each time, my dps just isn't quite there - really bloody frustrating! Managed Noth one shot thanks to your vid though, I'd not attempted him before. Thanks!

Hydrosphere is spec for replenishment, he has some specs that are keyed for boxing, but nothing odd.

I assume thunderstorm (which he is only minor glyphed for) on every cooldown which is a must.

Actually I did not cast thunderstorm that whole fight, the only reason I have the glyph to improve the mana from thuderstorm is so I can use it to help on aoe pulls without knocking everything away.

I think my casters just have a rather high mp5, plus the replensihment from the mage of course. But as mentioned earlier I forgot to stop mana spring totem and did not have blessing of wisdom on anyone, so yeah, I'm rather surprised by my characters mana sustainability actually.

My other shamans have really big mana issues, with mostly better gear than this team, but I think that's cause their stats are more pure dps, while my shaman in this team has some mp5 on gear, though i do prioritize dps stats.

On Heigan - if you get the disease debuff at the exact same time as the flame wave, I think you'll get one shot. Risky strat, but cool that it worked for you.

Pretty sure that happened several times in the fight, but I cleanse it before it can do much damage usually anyway, and have powerword shield on most of the time :)

Ya, its nasty. When you're transitioning between phase 2 back to phase 1, a bad application of the debuff can wipe out the entire raid.

lol - man, whenever you post, my first reaction is usually O.O! (what-the-@#$@) followed by =p (qq-you-suck) followed by >.< (qq-i-suck) and come around to =) (gratz). never cease to amaze me .. good job...

is it possible to 10man (2 5boxers) sarth? are there any current 10mans that can't be done by 2 5boxers?

First time ever i went to naxx10 whit my guild solo play that is, we failed 3 times on patch as the offtank died, and we had no melee dps so we gave it a try were i was solo in melee range and that worked for us back then. i had 27k hp buffed and we used 3 healers.

but if your tank is just decent geared you can do it with 1 healer today i think

Sarth is simple enough, i know of at least one boxer that has done him with 5 characters.
The real problem there is the drake that goes immune while the mob inside the portal is up, requiring a second tank/healer or so to go into the portal to kill it.
I have plans for 5-boxing it myself, but so far that is what is stopping me from clearing OS10 by myself.

I'll prolly do/try some more bosses in naxx10 this week, I have some plans for how I'll do them ^^

As you can see in my video I did it with one tank and one healer. :)
