Hey guys,

I wanted to see from all the 10 boxers out there on what content you've been able to box with your toons so I can see what truly is possible.

My toon setup is
1 Prot Paladin
1 Druid Bear (boomkin if OT not needed)
3 Resto/Ele Shamans
1 Holy Priest
1 Mage
3 Warlocks

All toons are level 73-74
I took a year break due to work obligations but now I'm back boxing again. So far Ive been able to box

Karazhan
Zul'Aman
Molten Core

I haven't tried any more of the older dungeons as of yet. I attempted Gronn's Lair which is a 25 man raid but at 73-74 even the trash takes way too long to die, it just isn't possible at this point.

Also, does anyone know how to do the Netherspite encounter with 10 toons in Kara. I can block the red beam with my tank and the green beam with a healer but blocking the blue beam and managing stacks while trying to output high dps seems impossible.

I'm using ISboxer at the moment.

I've cleared the spider and plague wings of naxx in level appropriate gear, and got down 2 drakes in OS. That's 2 of the actual mini bosses, not searth 2d. As far as i'm concerned, it's all about macro play, key bindings, and getting really good at reading cues. I'm going to maintain that everything should be doable, the only question is how much time and effort you are willing to put in, because 10-boxing a raid isn't just following a strategy, you usually have to come up with your own, and I am yet unsure how I would handle certain fights like rotface where you need to keep on top of moving 1 character always, a random other character, avoiding spew, cleansing, and anything I may have forgotten. Not saying it is impossible, just really effort intense.

I would ignore the blue beam entirely in Kara.
Most people just had two toons to dance into/out of the red beam, and someone to plug the green beam, when boxing it.

Really, you can very easily 5-box Kara at 80th.
So at 85th, it won't be that hard to 5/10 box.
I wouldn't really try to level up there.

Your best bet is grinding 5 to 85 and then running heroics...Lvl the other 5 to 85 and grind heroics... when you have 10 geared toons go after raids.

Another option is only play Group A when they have rested. Then swap to Group B and repeat so you lvl 2 groups to 85 at once.

I just level all of my toons at once :) cataclysm quests really are a cakewalk compared to wrath.

You level all 10 of your toons at once? I tried doing that, but i don't get quest updates if it's a raid, i guess i could do 2 seperate groups.

You cannot advance a quest, unless it is a raid quest, while within a raid group.
So you would want to do two separate groups, but together.

Or straight grind, which would be horribly boring.

I have separate keys to tag with each group, then 1 key to burn mobs down. They go down quite fast :)

Some quests also give credit just for being near or on a threat list. That was a nice find.
