5 Boxing Warlock vs Nalak Patch 5.4

[Xeneres]

This is a video of me killing Nalak in patch 5.4 while being phased over to the Magtheridon Server so that I can be alone with the boss. (I'm on Illidan so its almost impossible to kill a world boss alone)

Enjoy!


From My Video Description:

I take down Nalak with my 5 destruction warlocks. I have ~540 item level on all 5 along with 5 legendary cloaks.

I used glyph of eternal resolve, siphon life and demon training. My talents were Soul Leech, Mortal Coil, Soul Link, Unbound Will, Supremacy, and KJC.

My buffs were warlock self buffs, Blessing of the Animus (15% damage), Overgrown Lilypad (Symbiosis: Rejuvenation) and Crystal of Insanity (+500 stats)

Fight lasted 9 minutes and 53 seconds.

The hardest part was to get a kill of this boss without anyone helping. I'm on Illidan...So after killing him a few times with 2-10 people "helping," once they saw that I could sustain it. Finally, I asked another multiboxer to phase me over to a lower population realm. Thanks Pozy.

Nalak isn't a difficult boss, but with only 5 targets/party members you get hit with all the mechanics 100% of the time. My warlocks were each at 21-23 K Healing/Absorbs per second

I could only get around 50% of my characters DPS output due to using voidwalkers and spending most of my attention on embers and healing along with pet management and positioning. Nalak is able to kill a voidwalker in 2-3 hits if the rejuvenation and shadow bulwark were not up. Nalaks model is so large(long) that it was difficult to keep the voidwalkers close enough to be healed. I found that using interact with target and the forward key was the best way to keep my warlocks close enough to heal the voidwalkers and each other. The arc nova wasn't that big of a deal provided I was around 55% hp, so it wouldn't kill me.

That is pretty awesome and inspiring.

And no I won't make any fun comments about a clown that 30-boxes galeon.

[rfarris]

THIS is the most powerful Wow player ever!

Good job, very nice.

[MiRai]

Very nice.

[Khatovar]

Nicely done.

[ebony]

very nice every time i see warlocks makes me cry a little inside after i quit playing mine.

[Fat Tire]

Well played

[luxlunae]

Thank you for including all of the talents items and buffs you had. Great work!

[Tsumi]

Very nice job!

[Mokoi]

Nice! How did you gear your locks? I have 10 locks and I always liked them, but never geared them because they were impossible in PvP, and very hard to do any PvE without a lot of gear. Did you gear them individually to a certain point?

[ebony]

the timeless gear would make it very easy to gear locks up and locks be very easy to do a lot the stuff i find hard with melee groups there. as they have great tanks


i seen a few lockboxers in LFR as well they do nice dps.

[Mokoi]

ok cool but question, whats timeless gear?

[luxlunae]

Timeless gear are the armor tokens that fall like rain all over the timeless isle.

[Asterix]

Oh, hello <player> nice to meet you and welcome to the timeless isle, here have an armor token.
OMG, did you see the glittering sand over there? look at it, here have another armor token.
Go and talk to the guy over there to get another armor token.
Oh wait, have you seen this rare spawn? lets kill it first for another token.
whoah have you seen this little trasure chest? omg, there was a token in there.
btw. you should kill some mobs for some coins, oh you lucky bastard, look, another token
why don't you just kill 20 of these elite creatures for today with a chance that they drop another token?
omg. look. a blazing treasure chest, whoah, two tokens and an item to upgrade a token.
oh sorry... looks like your bag is full of tokens.

[luxlunae]

I just keep one "heirloom" bank alt toon and he has all of my heirlooms in his bags and all of my timeless tokens in his bank.

[Multibocks]

Its just 496 ilvl junk. The eternities to upgrade them are actually much rarer and more difficult to get on the character you want, now that you can't trade them. Honestly if your teams isn't above 496 ilvl by this time in the expansion then you haven't been playing or even trying.

[rfarris]

Honestly if your teams isn't above 496 ilvl by this time in the expansion then you haven't been playing or even trying.
Or they're alts that are just now getting to 90. These are *great* for that. You can jump from iLvl 437 to iLvl 485 or so on your entire team in a few hours. When you find a chest -- and there are a *lot* of them -- all members of your team will be able to loot them.

[Xeneres]

Nice! How did you gear your locks? I have 10 locks and I always liked them, but never geared them because they were impossible in PvP, and very hard to do any PvE without a lot of gear. Did you gear them individually to a certain point?

I started gearing these warlocks shortly before 5.2. I got to about half Malevolent and then bought the pve darkmoon trinkets and worked my way through lfr with all 5 a few weeks after 5.2 while also capping my conquest for the tyrannical gear.

During 5.2 I was capping my valor each week to buy the shado-pan assault 522 gear and to upgrade the gear nalak or LFR gave that week. I generally did the 5 man group quests on isle of thunder for the 150 valor and the 5.3 barrens stuff that got replaced by the timeless isle for 200 valor. The rest of it was capped via heroic scenarios which gave 130 or 150 valor if you got the bonus timer.

While doing that I also started the legendary quest and once I got mostly LFR geared I used my tyrannical weapons and full pve gear for world pvp since its so superior. My grievous weapons gives me about 20% pvp power. The 522 pvp weapon dominates my 548 upgraded flex and even probably normal and heroic weapons as I only lose about 5-10% of my pve stats but gain more damage overall vs players due to the large quantity of pvp power .

I've stopped doing lfr in favor of multiboxing a 12-25 player flex raids for the 548 item level gear. LFR has lost what little remains of its quality since flex was introduced and seems to be plagued with noobs and people just wanting a carry to gear while dying on the fight on purpose to afk to loot. The semi-casual players that carried the under-geared or bad players in lfr seem to have migrated to flex.

It was rough at first I'll admit I did low dps due to the pvp trinkets and difficulty of reaching the hit cap. But after a few weeks I had nearly full pve gear and I started dominating the meters in lfr. Today I can do around 50-60% of the raids total damage with 5 of the 17 damage dealers in LFR. In flex raids that I pug on Illidan I generally top those fights doing around 150-230k dps on each warlock depending on the fight. The players in lfr are obviously under-geared and often not very good at their classes so its pretty easy to carry and top meters in lfr.

In flex raid I generally require 525+ ilevel so my 540 gear + legendary cloak generally trumps solo players despite the fact that I'm boxing and cant play them optimally.

It used to be a hard road to get initial gear to queue for LFR. Now with the timeless isle you can just farm rares and get a full set of 496 gear. You can upgrade the tokens with burdens of eternity to get a piece of random gear for your class that's 535. Its great if you get burdens of eternity but don't base your gear on getting all 535 gear via burdens of eternity. I consider that a waste as this gear is very poorly itemized and has less gem slots than the lfr gear, despite being the higher item level and worse its random so you can get secondary stats that are of lower value to you.

Congrats, you did good! hope to see some more video's. =)

Oooh-la-la

Just x5 against a World Boss!!!!! Holy Warlocks! Wow, I'm super blown away.

5 characters ONLY!!! Freaking unbelievable against a W-O-R-L-D Badass B-O-S-S.

Watched the vid, do not know how you play with all the mod clutter stuff on the screen, but thats your style, you killing Nalak with just 5 toons is totally Truely Amazing though.

have you got the Nalak mount yet ? I farm that bastard boss and other world ones for mounts and still after all this time, No joy :(

Congratulations on your remarkable Kill, that's total skill right there!!

[Kruschpakx4]

Awesome job for sure, enjoyed it as much as aelli vs vashj in tbc :)

[Kicksome]

That is insane. If I didn't see it on Youtube, I wouldn't have believed it. Those locks are cool under pressure.

I guess I won't post me killing some elite guy that had like 25 mil hitpoints while I had to reincarnate a few times.

[ebony]

i got my locks out from the dead as well killing all the rares atm solo on the new island so much easyer then a melee group.

[Multibocks]

The isle is so anti-melee its terrible. I go there with my ele sham/lock team and blow shit up. My monks/rets/enh? Yeah at least one dies on every rare, so stupid. Don't even get me started on Cinder.

[Shania]

yeah lol my poor rogue tags with my hunter/shammy/mage and DK tank and rogue I just leave in caster range doing nothing, and other times i kick it out and bring in the spriest instead.
great fun isle though!
