From one to three to five... what next?

[Ashley]

Just officially joined the 10 boxing family tonight, guild names to prove it :>

Rolled 10 hunters for primarily world pvp, maybe some PVE trash grinding if at all possible.

Looks like that's gonna be a lot of fun for world pvp! Best of luck!

I find the ability to summon pretty critical, if your rafing guys its very handy to have a few warlocks sprinkled around. Sadly the level is higher now for ritual of summoning. If you don't have a mage that can be a big boost.

While you may have the rig to handle playing with ten guys, and the world is full of portals and you can guild summon. The task of doing dailies, swapping guys, farming netherdrakes or whatever is made easier with these classes.

Ouch! That would hurt massivly!

[remanz]

so tempting ~~


5 box is getting old. Time to cut that cable bill and put the money at where it counts. Looking forward to seeing your progress.

I amma trying to hammering out some upgrades to my machine to test drive the 10 boxing.

[ZooljinX]

God damnit everytime i see anything about 10boxing i get so tempted!

That looks like great fun, hope it will turn out good for you :)

[Emo?]

Wow, well hope we can get some fun action going with that team :D

I highly suggest checking out http://wow-petopia.com/ to optimize your pet's buff/debuffs to get the most out of them. I did with just the 3 I boxed and was alot of help having mixed pets and specs. Running Hunter now is alot better than pre Cata for so many reasons. One team I'd love to 10 box is a hunting party like this as well. Tossing in a healer of some sort might be of use for better survivability as well, maybe a Druid or two for the AoE heals and ability to stealth once your team gains Camouflage. Another thing that helped me level my team up through dungeons was having 3 bears act as tanks with Growl on at all times and a Disc Priest driving them all. With the multiple Growls on, they bounced threat around and on mobs/bosses or whatever took more than a few shots to down to allow me to basically use Mend Pet, Holy Shield, and Renew for healing them. Allowed them to share the damage instead of it all being focused on one single target, also allowing me better heal them with HoTs and not go OOM too often. Even in dungeons, I hardly ever had any downtime between fights due to mana. Below is a copy of my Macro.lua file for my main hunter, alot of which will work for multiboxing them as well since I always keep that in mind when making my macros now. Make sure to glyph for Misdirection as soon as you're high enough to get that, it's by far my favorite glyph above all others. Just wish that MD was a much lower skill tho. Would make leveling up new Hunters much more bearable.

You can change any of the [@mouseover] macros to target or focustarget instead for the slaves. Hope this helps you out.

[Ashley]

Hey dude!

Cheers for all the macros, will start putting them in :D

Heres a pic of me today, just dinged lvl 46 and upgraded my weapons from a level 2 wooden shortbow to some mithril compact guns :S Not the best but can't wait till level 60 for the pvp epics!

C R A Z Y :D Tobad AV weekend just ended, but maby if your fast enought you will ding 85 perfect for the next one :D

[Ashley]

AV Weekend still exists until midnight Tuesday ;-)

But yeah, just need them to get to the stage where the gear will be decent enough to farm honor...

I did WSG but failed epically:

I'm curious, as I am considering doing 10-boxing myself.

How do you efficiently level the teams?

Do you do 5 at a time? Or is there a way to level all 10 at once?

I imagine the most efficient way (without RaF) would be to level each team separately based on rested XP.

[Ashley]

I set up 5 new accounts and RAF'd them.

I originally had 5 accounts (ABCDE) and set up 5 new ones (12345)

My RAF went like this

A->1
B->2
C->3
D->4
E->5

And when it comes to leveling I have them grouped up in their RAF groups, but because my RAFs are in pairs, they go like this:

Group 1:
A1B2

Group 2:
C3D4

Group 5:
E5

This means I have to do every quest three times, but because I have RAF and 300% experience bonus, it means I have the capability of skipping some quests such as collection ones without having to grind mobs to make up the exp difference.

1-15 was done questing
15-21 was done in deadmines
21-40 was done in scarlet monastery
40-46 was done questing
46-69 will probably be done in AV lol

[Emo?]

Well that looked kinda terrible, but i gues u will get better and tweak within time :)

Good luck!

[nodoze]

Wow. Thanks for the video. You did OK considering you had many slots with no gear and what gear you had was pretty sub-standard.

Not sure why your group lagged so far behind your main. You may want to make your typical lead a survival hunter if he is going to be out there so much.

I would definately take your pets off Prowl. If they could dash to their prey and intimidate and such it would have been much more crazy for them...

Thanks again. I look forward to seeing another video when you are a little more geared.

[Ashley]

I did AV yesterday, and I must say...

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

Seriously, if you enjoy PVP on a large scale, 10 box some hunters, or worst case, 8 with two resto druids or something..

Bearing in mind, I still have awful gear, I'm level 47, and rogues are OP and will one shot me, and this is also the first time I've ever played hunter so still learning the mechanics....

Mounting into a group of horde, targeting someone who has a fair amount of people around him (8 yard radius), 10 x Multishot (can sometimes get 3 multishots off per char if they crit)...... OWNED.

Destroyed everything, even full heirloom paladins. All because multishot doesn't obey the AOE cap, so it'll hit anyone and everyone in an 8yd radius for 99% weapon damage. Basically 20-30 normal white damage shots, per target in less than a second.

Can not wait for 60....

[remanz]

well. you got 10 toons focus firing. Stuff will go down. They should implement 10 v 10 arena. Then boxing pvp would have new hope.
