Multiboxing old raids

[valle2000]

I'm planning to 5-box old raids with my lvl 85 team, because I haven't done any raiding before so I'm curious to see them and secondly for farming nice gear for the upcoming 4.3 patch. :)

But I would please like to know which raids I can expect to finish and (if any) which to avoid as a multiboxer?
My main interest is classic lvl 60 and BC lvl 70 raids, but I guess some 10-man lvl 80 raids are doable as well or?
So far I've done Gruul, Maghteridon and Karazhan (but got stuck at the chess event).

[Mokoi]

stuck on chess? .. just pick some pieces and kill the other ones :P u can solo it.

get the king out and then get a healer on him. no prob :)

[daviddoran]

The trick to Chess is to enter and exit each of the units, then the computer takes over, then get into the healers/nukers and focus down the enemy.

Old school raids:

Molten Core: Easy
Blackwing Lair: Easy (hardest is razorgore and chromagus
AQ20: (now a 10 man) easy
AQ40: Medium - Hardest is last 2 fights. You can 5 man twins, there is a post on it somewhere where I have laid down a strat. That is if your 5 man team includes 1 tank and 4 casters. C'thun is a burn and an ability to alt tab to toons that have been put in the stomach.
Gruul, Mag, kara: Easy
SSC: medium. You are able to go straight to the end if you want. And you can move with the toxic cores now so just cruise around and win. Some bosses just read up on abilities, but can zerg most of them quite easily.
TK: Easy/medium - hardest is kael. Phase 1 easy, phase 2 easy, phase 3 easy, phase 4 you might get Mind controlled. i usually kill the 1 or 2 that do then ankh in phase 5.
Mount Hyjal: Medium - only thing that makes it medium is the last boss, rest is just trash wave after trash wave. Alt tab to alts that get blown in the air to activate the tears to slow your fall.
Black Temple: Easy - every fight is a zerg.
Sunwell: Easy - every fight is a zerg, just need a tank char.
Naxx 10: Easy, zerg each fight
Obsidium Sanctum: easy, just clear trash then zerg, can make it so you dont have to avoid anything.
Eye of eternity: Medium - pop hero and cds at 60% in phase one to take him right down low, phase 2 kill adds, phase 3 if you got him low enough is easy. Dont worry about avoiding power surges or healing, just zerg.
ToC10 N: Can zerg everythign, heroic is a bit harder.

They are basically everything that I can and have tried to 5 man. If you want any specific tips/strats for any of the bosses above, just let me know. I havent tried Ulduar10 or ICC 10 solo yet, but I'm sure a lot of bosses in each one are very doable whereas others are harder.

Nice breakdown.

Don't forget Onyxia though.
Mount dropped last week for me.
It's an awesome mount, probably way rarer than Ashes of Alar.
Gave the mount o my wife.............
*hides in a corner and cries*

[Bollwerk]

One note on Kael in TK25 - I found the fight easier when wearing PVP gear. But I have full 371 honor gear. None of my toons died during the MC phase with pvp gear on.

Disclaimer: I'm running 5 shamans, so this is my take on them without a tank. (I'm pretty much clearing them all for gold/old armor sets, weekly)

BWL- Razorgore is pretty easy. Just park a healer on the edge of orb platform and have him chain cast heals onto razorgore and get aggro on all the adds. They do really minimal damage.
AQ40- Twins are stupid easy now, you don't even need to split them if your dps is high enough. I don't run with a tank or need elementals. Viscidus I skip because I don't feel like spending 10 minutes whacking on his with frostbrand weapon.
TK- Kael becomes trival when you can burn him to 50% before the first mind control. Phase 3 is just a survival phase and it will all depend on your comp who to kill first. I usually do Astromancer -> Thaladred -> Sanguinar -> Engineer; whereas melee teams can pretty safely ignore Thaladred and can probably prioritize Sanguinar. You can also kill the melee on the far end of the room and after they rezz they have to run across the room to engage, which gives you enough time to kill Astromancer.
SSC- Vashj is the only hard encounter. Having to deal with the elementals along with the striders can be rough for melee teams; particularly with the PBAOE fear.
Hyjal- On the Archimonde fight there's an invisible wall on the (north, i think) side of the cliff face. If you position yourself there, you will never get knocked up. It's been there since BC.
Sunwell- Kalecgos is the only fight that requires strategy. I usually jump 2 extra into the first portal to bring Sathrovarr as low as possible. Wait for the debuff to expire and jump in 2 to finish him off, then it's bring Kalecgos down. Important part is not to kill Kalecgos until Sathrovarr is dead otherwise you end up with no way to get into the spirit realm.
Naxx- Thadius is the only fight that's even remotely rough on 10 man.
Ulduar - Actually, really fun. I made it up to Vezax the week before last, so it's doable on 10 man.
ICC - Did this this week with another boxer - haven't done it 5 manned yet since we're going for mount achieves.

[Ughmahedhurtz]

Some of your success will depend on your group composition. If you have lots of passive healing (e.g.: shammy totems or DK self-heals, etc.) most of these become stupidly easy. I did about half of the above at 80 in mid-level (245ish) badge gear on my 5-pally team pre-4.0. At 85, these should be pushovers with the possible exception of the mind-control encounters. And even those may be silly now with people having 5x the health we had in WotLK. (Skeram, for example).

[valle2000]

Thanks for all tips.
My favourite group (most fun to play) is 4 hunters + healer so I'll try these first. I can however replace one of the hunters with a DK-tank if needed.

[death]

Valkry, im curious to know how you handle Kael phase 5 and Kalecgos in Sunwell... im running 4 frost DK + Holy Paladin

[death]

running holy pally + 4 dk

wondering if black temple + sunwell is doable

[Bollwerk]

I don't see why not. Try them. What's the worst that can happen?

[Acidburning]

I do BT each week on my holy pally + 4DKs. Already got 1 glaive.

Sunwell, I can't solo the first boss. Gave up after about 6 attempts. Rolled in there last week in a pug, my team of 5 + 4 dps and 1 healer. We just mowed through the whole instance.

Tried BT last night on my Holy Pally 4 DKs, I got destroyed, it was rather rough. I'm in PvP blues. I think I need some more gear.

Acid, i got up to illidan, had trouble on phase 2 2nd elemental wasnt on the glaive so did mass aoe, , bought in a hunter to tank 2nd elemental on glave and went down easy, can you let me know how you do the positioning for it?

[dragoneye]

anyone able to clear ruby sanctum?

phase2 save every CD and Army. Focus 1 elemental. Pop both shields. Use fire aura on your pally, etc. Gots to stay out of the aoe.

I pop army right when Illidan throws the glaives down.

Hope it helps :]

[valkry]

Valkry, im curious to know how you handle Kael phase 5 and Kalecgos in Sunwell... im running 4 frost DK + Holy Paladin
Kael phase 5 - Im guessing you mean when he knocks you in the air? Have all shammies target him, interact with target and the swim to near his head. Lightning bolt away :P

Kalecgos in sunwell - leave tank up top, send shammies through the portal. Dont even need hero, just lightning bolt spam. Tank doesn't need heals or def cds, he just lives lol.

[Elgert]

I cannot understand how Lady Vashj can be considered medium difficulty :P Got my butt kicked hard there with my mixed team. The problem seems to be that the elementals with the thingies to turn off the pillars despawn before i can get to them :-/ and the AoE fear does not help either.

Maybe its my all slaves on follow tactics that suck. Any bright ideas?

Might be easier for me due to my team makeup. I just use ele totems in the middle for the adds, ghost wolf is great for getting to the toxic elemental. The aoe fearing striders can be slowed and killed quickly. And the core doesnt freeze you in place anymore.

I also have db timers for ssc fights to let me know when the toxic elemental, striders and elites all spawn etc. And even if I get to phase 3 with Vashj at 200% more dmg, she still barely hits my tank and she drops in a bit anyway.

[Acidburning]

I tried SSC again last week with my Pally & 4 DKS. I just couldn't get around enough. Maybe if I parked 1 in each corner. Lady V was taller than the ceiling lol.

Brought some pugs in, easy.

It's so nice you don't have to do the toss anymore.

[hendrata]

I'm trying to tribox SSC the other night with a blood DK, boomkin, and mage. My team is not very geared. Maybe average of 350-355 ish. There were a couple problems:

1. Hydross and Leotheras was easy. But the problem was my dps wasn't high at all. Around 6-7k per dps toon. I wonder if there is any good arrangement for mage (arcane / frost) and boomkin so that it's doing the right thing when eclipse hits etc just to maximize its dps.

2. Lurker below was rough, especially because mage and boomkin keeps getting knocked back for 60 yards. The problem was that I did park them in water, but they get knocked back by like 10 yards. The adds were eating them quickly too. In the end, I soloed the last 50% of the boss with my DK, which is doable, but it defeats the purpose of having 3 toons :P

3. Karathress was a PAIN. I was reading up on wowhead and it sounds like I need to kill Caribdis (healer) first. But the problem is my toons would be caught on tornade, and we couldn't pump out enough dps. Our interrupter keeps getting caught on the tornado too. I still haven't killed him :(

[Mosg2]

Probably the hardest non-WoTLK fight for me was Brutallus of all things. He just did so much damage I had to bring in Merc. When I tried Vashj you couldn't move with the cores--I might go back and finish it now that I know :)

I solo'd 10m Ulduar up to Vezax over the past two days. Once I learned the fights it was a cake walk. Vezax I think is just going to be an impossible fight for a melee team. Oh well.

Oh, and the first boss in Sunwell? Just portal all your DK's in the first chance you get. I was able to one shot him first time with no issues.

Ulduar - Actually, really fun. I made it up to Vezax the week before last, so it's doable on 10 man.

Has anyone tried Ulduar-10 with a classic tank/healer/3xDps group?

[Mercurio]

I've been boxing it three times every week. Have done all the hard modes except Yogg.

Yogg sucks really bad and I need to have guildies help me do it :(

Oh, and I ten box it. Some of the fights would be tough with only five (Hodir, Thorim) and many of the hard modes would be impossible with only five.

ok, sounds like it would not be worth the trouble for me, just to (maybe) get some stuff for transmog. I will just keep trying to get the last pieces of judgement for my pally tank. (blizz, pls make OLD raids daily in stead of weekly)

As a 5-boxer lvl 85, would you say doing 10-man Lich-raids are easier than 25-man BC-raids?

Just tried Sunwell plateau and really got my butts kicked at two first bosses. :)
Also had some troubles in Black temple and gave up at those quad-bosses, The Illidari Council.

BT Illidari Council, just stay on Lady. Burn her down until they BOP her, keep burning, once the BOP is gone, get some interrupts towards the end, keep burning, /loot

No, imo, Lich 10 man is harder than BC 25 man.

Sunwell, first boss. Have tank pull dragon and just stand there meleeing. Then I wait with my shammies for first portal, wen it spawns I alt tab and get all 4 shams down there. I dps the shadow guy to 0, the shammies com eback up top, then kill the dragon. Easy as that.

Second boss just dps and burn. Heal the tank after every meteor strike. If start taking heaps of dmg, bubble (my tank is a pally) to reset the debuff, taunt, and continue dpsing.

BT - Illidari counci. Pop hero, pop elementals, burn th epally til all dead, thats it. Don't need to move from aoe or anything.

[Mercurio]

As a 10-boxer, I haven't had any trouble soloing any of the following:
(and I run most of them multiple times each week since I have four 10-box teams):

Classic
Molten Core
Blackwing Lair
Runis of Ahn'Qiraj

Burning Crusade
Karazhan
Gruul's Lair
Magtheridon's Lair
The Eye
Serpentshire Cavern (though help of Lay Vashj is helpful)
Mount Hyjal
Black Temple
Sunwell

Wrath
Naxx25 (except for KT - only attempted him solo once)
Eye of Eternity10
Ulduar10 + all hard modes (except Yogg - he requires a bit of help from friendly guildies)
ICC10 (except Lich King)

Cataclysm
BWD - just Omnitron Defense, since it drops some druid shoulders for one of my xmog sets

Sorry for sounding stupid now, but you mean there is a portal at first boss so I can choose which chars to kill that demon with?
When I played I just noticed some of my chars suddenly were at another place and assumed it was random.
I gave up and after 3rd attempt and managed to get past the dragon.

At boss #2 my slaves died. Is there some kind of aoe damage to watch out for?

The ifrst char that goes down is chosen at random, but where he gets sent down, a portal opens up, and you can alt tab and go right click with any char to go down and help. You only get a short time to do this in though. But 4 dpsers down inside should be able to kill the demon no worries.

2nd boss does 2 things you should worry about, A fire dot and a meteor slash (p much exactly the same as BH first boss). The fire dot spreads so you have to spread your team, and the slash is a frontal cleave. Don't get your dpsers hit by the cleave and the dot shouldnt worry you at all.

[Mercurio]

Also, note that you can skip the first boss in Sunwell. Either hug the shrubs and go around never aggroing him or just keep running forward and he'll eventually disappear.

[CincoBoxero]

Hi all!

New multiboxer here wondering if anyone has a decent strategy for Lady Vashj for a mixed team?

This week i've cleared Tempest Keep, Black Temple, Mount Hyjal, Sunwell Plateau. I just can't down the Lady! :confused:

Prot Pally | Fire mage | Arcane Mage | Demo Lock | Holy Priest

[Mercurio]

skeezy,

For Dreamwalker, I just set up

/tar Val
/castsequence healabunch, healabunch more (I set up macros to get Riptide, Renew, Serenity, etc to roll well if the button gets spammed)

macros for 3 of my toons.

I use the other seven to kill stuff. I just mash the heal button and ignore the portals untill the encounter ends. :)

One minor thing that helps - spread your three healers slightly and take them off follow so they don't all get hit if the mob with AOE knockup gets his spell off - reduces incoming damage a bit.

[Ixe]

Hello,

Thanks for all the tips. I'm currently testing some of them in old raids. Have downed OS3D with help from my GF who heals on her priest. I play a Blood DK with 4 ele shammies. One is in healer gear when soloing dungeons.

We tried Kael'Thas yesterday but kept wiping during Mind Control in phase 4. I just can't figure out what to do. All toons except maybe one dps and my tank gets MC'ed and I cant break it. We tried equipping the Infinity Blade on one Shammie and on the priest but those two both got MC'ed every time. When the MC runs out all toons get MC'ed again, which inevitably leads to tank death as there is no healing. Shammie totems + Blood DK healing apparently isn't enough, or maybe I'm doing something wrong.

How do you get around it? I didn't think about popping Army of Dead, maybe that will soak up some of the MC, and then I can break the rest with the Infinity blade. 30 seconds of DPS should take her to phase 5 which should be fairly easy.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, pop army once you kill the 4. It helps with mind control. Everyone once in a while I still still wipe in there because a few get MC'd.

Also, when popping army, you may need to spam it a few times if you got silenced. Save all your cooldowns and burn them. I think once you get him past a certain point (50%?) it's much easier.

Also pop ALL elementals with your shammies. I run with a group of 6 and only 2 of my guys get MCd. I just kill them then anhk them

Quick question. :)
Is Naxxramas 10man doable with 4 hunters + priest, all lvl 85 with ilvl around 360?
Can bosses just be dps'ed down and aoe healed by priest, or must I read up on tactics? (Have never been in Naxxramas ).

[Mercurio]

You should be able to do most of Naxx with no problems. However, you will not be able to do Thaddius. You will probably have to have tank-capable pets for some of the bosses. Four horsemen will be interesting too, but if you split your team into four parts you might could do it. You'll have to burn Maex pretty fast to avid having everyone webbed. Yeah, as I think about it, there will probably be some significant challenges.

Let us know how it goes.

On Maexxna, he should be able to 'free' his webbed guys reasonably quickly though / before they all get webbed

He should be able to kill with only 1 getting webbed within that time

I did Naxx inc. Thaddius and the four Horsemen with Paladin + 4 Shaman.

As I attempted it without prior knowledge I did wipe first time on Thaddius - but after that I think burned down both the adds on one side whilst the tesla was active - can't remember my exact tactics but I think I remember healing through it.

Then I made the jump and finished the boss.

The four horsemen I can't remember my tactics! but I did it first time.

hmm... are you referring to Illidary Council? My bad for not stating clearly. I am trying to put more setback to the Blood Prince Council at ICC
