10 box raiding

[Theradin]

Either this week or next, once I actually have time to run them, I'll post a full 10 man ToC clear ( having Jaraxxus as the raid weekly gave me the drive to learn the raid, I only recently completed it ) along with the rest of the Ulduar encounters that I've completed. Some of the fights below were won some time ago, but I'd never bothered to record them. VoA fights won't be posted for some time as I rarely get the chance to run VoA alone.

I like the onyxia kill, looks very clean (only watched onyxia and marrowgar^^).

[Theradin]

I wish it felt as clean as it looks. There are a few skeletons around the area from a previous attempt. On the attempt I posted, I'd forgotten tanking buffs and only noticed just as the group was about to pull threat. > >

[MiRai]

Nice work man. Glad to see you're back and taking down content. I've been looking forward to more of your stuff since you 10 boxed Naxxramas. I will say though...I'm a little disappointed there is no music; I liked some of your past choices for tracks. :)

[Batato]

Amazing work,!!! some question i did malygos once some time ago and i dont remenber that last part, but I would like to try again.... on the flying phase, what is your rotation? and I really want to see the TOC10 movies :P

Keep the good work!!!!

Thanks everybody!

Here are the macros for phase 3 Maly. On most characers I use:

/follow whoever
/target Malygos
/castsequence reset=target Flame Spike, Flame Spike, Engulf in Flames, Revivify

And then on 2 characters I have:

/follow whoever
/target [target=vehicle]
/castsequence reset=target Revivify, Revivify, Revivify, Revivify, Revivify, Life Burst

As long as you have a couple of minutes for phase 3, that's all that's needed. If you find yourself losing drakes in this stage, add more of the latter macro.

[TheFailTrain]

Theradin you are Awesome. Thanks for posting more videos. Your Naxx ones inspired me to start 10 boxing.

[Mercurio]

Theradin,

Great work. I've done a few things as a 10-boxer, but you have excelled far beyond what I've had patience for.

Really looking forward to the 10-man ToC videos.

BTW, I've been told that you don't need melee DPS for Lady Deathwhisper in ICC10. If you can get the adherants down within the first 8 seconds after they spawn they will never get the chance to be empowered. It has been done.

The other question I'd have for you on the Lady fight - I certainly understand not 10-boxing with a mix of melee in your crew, but no hunters? Hunters do a very nice job on adherants.

Keep it up!

[Ogloo]

Dang when i watch videos like this.. it always gets me soo inspired.. (wish someone could pay for my accounts :(

*** hint hint.

Lol----

But seriously, you are very organized when i get home im going spring cleaning on my wow interface.

No hunters because mostly I've been too lazy level up something new and I really enjoy the synergy of caster groups. That said, I do now have a level 80 hunter that I've been gearing up, though I'm finding it a bit too nuanced for multiboxing.

I decided to give Deathwhisper a serious attempt without physical DPS earlier today and managed to pass phase 1 without the physical DPS. Although I couldn't kill the adherents ( when 2 spawn ) in under 8 seconds, using stuns and healing through the D&D ( D&D has a tendency to appear when I need to be killing adherents ) ended up working. I hope to have the kill when next I make more attempts.

Sweet! Good to see you've been busy since your old videos of 10 boxing naxx and flame leviathan! Looking forward to seeing the ToC videos!

On Lord Marrowgar, it looks like you just stand still and heal through the flames a lot of the time, but it's hard to see in the video just what kinds of heals you are putting out to get through it, especially the 4x flames during bone storm. Care to explain?

Interesting. I have hunters in half my groups and they do great DPS and provide a few other benefits like misdirect. I run all mine Survival so they give replinishment as well (though your frost mage covers that for your 10-man team). For an example of how I've specced mine, see Arghon on Magtheridon-US.

Also, the /click is most complex for my survival hunters, but it works very well once set up. I'm out of town currently, but would be glad to send you my long /click I use for them once I get back to my computer if you are interested.

BTW, what server do you play on?

On the individual strands of ice in phase 1, I try to dodge them as much as I can. Occasionally bone spike or a tank heal forces me to eat some ( or all ) of the damage.

On phase 2, you're correct, I just stand there and eat everything, though I do adjust the raid's position a bit to make certain they're properly lined up for the next phase 1. ( Strafing and killing bone spikes tends to scatter the party. )

As for how I eat everything in phase 2: FR gear ( enough to bring all of my characters up to around 250 ) and holy nova spam combined with all of the various buffs from spells/talents, though no flasks. Gear scores on the characters in that video ranged from 4600 ( the priests ) to about 5050 ( the tanks ).

I play on Madoran.

I appreciate the offer of the macro and I'd be interested in seeing it, though I plan on retiring my hunter. What I dislike about my hunter is that it appears to require proactive threat management ( though multiple misdirects might cure that ), there's a minimum range for bow fire, and any pet I've picked really likes to die. ( Putting the pet on passive doesn't seem viable, since pets contribute so much damage ) Then, too, I'm missing some key physical DPS debuffs like sunder.

They are fun to solo play, though!

[Prega]

congratz!
watched some videos, really impressive. great

[MiRai]

I play on Madoran.
You're kidding?! A bunch of us left Madoran [Alliance] and headed over to Kil'jaeden to hang with a bunch of other boxers. Can't believe I missed a 10 boxer walking around.

I knew there were a number of boxers around on Madoran, but I hadn't realized they'd left. I'm kind of sorry to hear that. The last time I ran into a non-guilded boxer was while leveling, shortly after WotLK came out, in the Howling Fjord. I keep mostly to my guild and you'll almost never catch my ten box team out and about out of a raid unless at a summoning stone, mostly because I don't care for the attention ten boxing attracts.
