Icecrown Citadel 25 trash 5-boxed

[Maxion]

Just wanted to see if I could do it, and my tank was saved to 10 man so I couldn't farm that at the time. :)

Basically the same pull strategies as in 10 man, so this video is a bit shorter than the 10 man one, just showing it is possible.
Even killed one of the big skeletons from a trap, man they hit hard in 25 man.

Some questions and comments:

First I love your UI, very clean. Is it shared somewhere or could you?

Question: Is there a benefit to farming the 25man trash over the 10? (IE are there BOP epic drops or something, more rep, or was it just a "wow I can't believe I could actually do it" thing? I'm curious because I'd like to start farming ICC rep with my guys and would love to know any differences between 10/25man).

Your mage is frost for: replenishment/mana conservation? Are you using a click macro (if so would you mind sharing it. I know they "pretty much" just spam frostbolt, but it would help me out). What kind of DPS is your mage doing?

Thanks for posting the video! :)

Nice man. And then to imagine that 25 man raids still manage to whipe there.

My mage is frost to make my team never run out of mana yes, and very easy rotation with my spec for her (spam frostbolt).
Not using click macros on this team, and I think the macros in the post linked in my signature are enough up to date to where you can see what they are still using.

No, you don't get more rep in 25 man than 10 man other than there being more trash, but they take so much longer to kill that if you want you are best off farming the 10 man trash.
I hear the BoEs have a higher drop rate in 25 man, but to me that is not really worth the extra time and effort.
Yes, it was mostly to see if I could do it, but also kind of as a reply to some rogue that posted a comment on my 10 man video about how he is able to farm the first two mobs in 25 man for rep by himself (must take forever), and how it somehow was better than my rep farming in 10 man.

That music has to go!
Sorry about the music, I was on skype with someone while recording the video, so I had to replace the sound with music, just mute it if you don't like it. :)
Did spend several hours trying to find a song in my library that would fit relatively well to my video though.


Thank you for the comments and feedback so far everyone, much appreciated! :)

Thanks, I modified my frost mage /click (which is really simple) and he's doing decent dps. he's 28/0/43 and it seems to be working well.

Surprisingly one problem is he pulls aggro early because he doesn't have any aggro reduction talents. I think I need to somehow up the threat on my paladin.
