Snitch!

j/k :)

Suvega, the man who brought us quite a nice DKP system a while back, appears to be running out of challenges, so he and his girlfriend decided to see if they could multibox their way through Karazhan.

What, do I have no name now?

Sexist pigs...




...I'm kidding.

I didn't get any credit either.

Any chance someone could quote the article to this thread? Being on a gov computer in the middle east means pretty much everything is blocked.

Two players with five characters each, that is! Suvega, the man who brought us quite a nice DKP system ('http://www.wowinsider.com/2007/10/04/suvegas-dkp/') a while back, appears to be running out of challenges, so he and his girlfriend decided to see if they could multibox their way through Karazhan. So far, they've beaten Attumen, Moroes, the Maiden, and the Wizard of Oz Opera event, which is pretty darn impressive if you ask me. Check out a trailer above (or in higher quality at Stage6 ('http://www.stage6.com/user/Vyndree/video/2185799/Karazhan-Intro')), follow their progress on their blog ('http://v-boxing.net/blog/vboxing.php/vblog-pve/raids/karazhan/'), or check this thread ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=1455') for pictures of their hardware setups (drool-worthy, if you ask me). Their class breakdown: Suvega controlled a Holy priest, a Prot warrior, and three Fire/Arc mages, while Vyndree helmed a Resto shaman, a Prot pally, and three Elemental shamans. What do you all think of this accomplishment?

Nice articel ! Just awesome

loadsss of respect!

[neux]

Nice article ! Just awesome.

loadsss of respect!I'll second that XD

[Quix]

Im speechless. I know guilds that still can't do it with 10 live players. Great work!

Im speechless. I know guilds that still can't do it with 10 live players. Great work!When your able to rely on just 1 other person not to fuckup its not too much of a drama lol all the pressures on the other persons shoulders.
I give cudos for taking 2 healers, might get difficult come aran/prince

[Oldin]

Well, they do have 2 holy priests and a resto shammy. So should be plenty healing. Aran is not going to get any spells off with 4 shamans rotating earth shocks every 2 seconds :P so it's just gonna end up in whether or not you can avoid blizzard well enough.

Come to think of it without any melee dps this group is going to really struggle in the trash after curator :P

Don't remind me.

It's about time to level up all that healer/caster gear with WINDFURY TOTEM!!!

[Ellay]

Just wanted to add my grats to the post :) pushing dual-boxing into a much more accepted and mainstream audience.

[Monkofdoom]

Really good job guys ^^ Let's continue to get multibox respect o/

[bbj]

ok here is one bit we learnt eary on.

Aran likes the middle of the room. He stays there unless you interrupt his arcane missile. You can interrupt the rest, but if you interrupt that one he starts running around and melees the guy that his AM intially targetted. His melee is almost useless, but it pulls him out of position and that can be a pain.

Short - dont interrupt his arcane missile, make sure his health stays below his mana ( % wise ) and its an easy fight. Locks dot this guy to death fast


Apart from all that - Gratz on 2manning KZ. I wanna see u do prince now. We do him with just 1 melee. the rest are ranged. even the Feral Druid ( me ) dons healing gear for this fight

[caldvn]

Prince is easier compared to other fights. All ranged to the side and dps away.

Thats because you locked him out of all 3 of his magic schools, fire, frost and arcane. He can't cast.

A much better reason not to interrupt his arcane missile is because the mana is already spent when he starts casting. Aran is a race between his HP and Mana. If his Mana goes lower than his HP he sheeps everyone and heals. When he starts casting Fireballs and Frostbolts the mana isn't spent until he finishes casting so interrupting those keeps him from using mana. With the arcane missiles the mana is already spent so let him cast away for 3 or so seconds because he won't be doing any Fireballs or Frostbolts in that time and it gives your spell interrupt cooldowns time to reset.

Right and wrong...
Right: He starts melee when all 3 schools are locked. HP vs MP. Mana spent on Frost/Fire = when spell flies/cast. Arcane = Already spent.
Wrong: If his mana hits 20% or below, he sheeps the raid, drinks, then does an 8k partially-resistable 8k AOE POM-Pyroblast to the entire raid; he does not heal.

Key is to kick/silence Fire/Frost; Fireball does 5-6k, Frostbolt does 3-4k dmg, and Arcane missles does 1-1.5k per bolt and are alot easier to resist with the Violet Eye Arcane/sta trinket, plus since the dmg comes in smaller bursts it's easier to heal through than a big honking 5k hit all at once lol

[yarr]

very nice job guys!

Maybe one day i will be good enough for my own wowinsider article ^_^

:rolleyes:

so far the highest instance ive multiboxed was underbog lol! (and that was 3 70's!)

[Marathon]

[Vyndree]

Apparently it's Hungarian (thanks wilbur!)... this is all I could get out of a sh*tty online translator.
