ICC Gunship 3rd Boss 10Box Single Player

[dragoneye]

Hi all,

Seems like I have no access to the strat /discussion forums so was wondering if anyone has successfully single-boxed the Gunship event (ICC 3rd boss).

I'm stuck on that as it's too hard to jump back and forth (maybe my reflexes are too slow) and looking for help / new strats / bugs or anything.

thanks!

dragoneye,

That one is kind of a bugger. I use ISBoxer which allows (among other things) very easy multi-mouse clicking.

My strat was to set up three toons that would grab rocket packs and have a button that had them activate them and all set their camera angles to a certain angle. I would then press the multi-click toggle, move the mouse to the top of the screen and click the mouse, then hit the multi-click toggle again to turn it off. The key is to set the camera angle for these three toons such that when they are standing on the edge of your ship, the top of the screen shows the edge of the enemy's ship so they jump properly. The three toons used here would be a tank and two of my best DPS. The DPS would have an auto-target of the enemy ice caster (I forget the exact name) and the tank would have an auto-target of the enemy boss on the other ship. Put the two DPS on follow of that tank and then run them up to the edge of your ship. When the ice mage dies, I just backed them off the enemy ship and they appear again on your ship - take them to the edge of yours again and wait until the next freeze, repeat.

Take two other DPS and place them in the cannons. Aim them at the rocket shooters on the other ship each cycle and put in a macro for them to fire regular shots X times before firing off the major shot (see how many X is for you before the cannons overheat).

The other toons would be lined up along the edge of your ship facing my ship and the other tank would stand where the invaders port in. Have any remaining DPS assist this tank.

Takes a bit of work but that's the basic strategy I used.

I only loaded two videos on youtube, but they can be found under "Mercboxer" and one of them shows Gunship.

Hope that helps! Good luck!

Excellent tip! Will try to use ISboxer and study your video strat! thanks!

No problem, dragoneye. Those few of us crazy enough to solo raid have to stick together ;)

It was Theradin (another solo raider here) that originally inspired me to start whacking ICC around. FYI, here's a nice post by him:

Heck, in Cata, you may be the one inspiring others with nice strats for solo raiding :p
