Tanaan Jungle

If I wanted my own group just for farming there, would a 3 man team be enough or would I be better of with 5?

I haven't been there yet and am thinking of just farming some achievments/shards now and would rather not have a 5 man grp as I don't mind skipping 5 man current dungeons.

I will be making this team human for the rep bonus.

The only thing I can think of that you'd need five for is a few of the demons that appear banished until you interrupt all five beams pointed at them, but there are a bunch with two or three beams as well, you really don't need those.

I'm not boxing there yet myself as I always like to experience new content solo/together first, but I haven't come across anything that me and my significant other can't tackle together (hunter and warrior combo) that doesn't actually require a large(r) group anyhow such as Kazzak or the Savage Whale Shark. So I'd say you'll be perfectly fine with three, particularly if they're hunters (which I suspect they might be). :)

Was thinking of putting a Lock or Disco Priest with the Hunters to mix it up a bit.

Sounds like a solid plan, I don't see any reason why that wouldn't work like a charm. Having one or more pets tank at range is a big plus and means most mechanics won't bother you much.

Only real thing that comes to mind atm is to be aware of what the green fel sludge does that you can find around the Throne of Kil'Jaeden: for every second you spend in there, characters (and pets) get a stacking debuff that makes you do 10% more damage, but also take 10% more damage (per stack), and 10 stacks will kill immediately. If your pets end up in there a few times, they'll become rather fragile - just something to be aware of.

[Andreauk]

Ah thanks for that will keep it in mind :)

Was just thinking though pets take something like 90% reduced aoe dmg so won't the debuff work a bit differently?

You may very well be right, I haven't done the math. I've simply noticed that when my pet has multiple stacks on it, it has a little more trouble tanking the elites in the area and I end up spamming Mend Pet a bit more than I otherwise would in order to keep it alive.

I tried to roll with 3 but ended up leading from a healer monk with x3 Hunters and a Shadowpriest.. having a lot of fun.. I had a healer monk a while back they are good fun.

[MultiBear]

Oh, that sounds like a potentially fun team indeed! :D

I've yet to box with a Mistweaver myself, though I do quite like playing them. I've PvP'd with one a lot during MoP, a habit I'm trying to get back into atm.

As for multiboxing, this evening I pushed four more hunters through the Iron Docks intro myself, and I've been playing around Tanaan with those - together with the aforementioned warrior (though she's on her paladin for this). Been a lot of fun, and particularly lovely to get some 650 and 675 pieces for all of them, as they were only levelled fairly recently.

So nice to have someone to play with.. my other half quit wow and now plays ps4.. he also hates me boxing.. he doesn't approve of the playstyle

Really? Oh gosh, I'm genuinely sorry to hear that. :(

I'm the only one of us boxing, but it's been a very positive experience in our case (as well as for a good friend of ours). We're all long-time players and have had pretty much enough of guild drama, emoraging kiddies and others who'll happily treat people like dirt just because they can hide behind the pixels on their screen. And so most of the time we play together, or with the three of us. And with me multiboxing, that's opened up a lot of content that we'd otherwise need to find groups for. It's also made multiboxing easier for me as I almost always have one or two slaves in my team that can think for themselves, though don't tell them I called them that. ;)

[Andreauk]

The same sort of reasons I play.. have played since bc.

I hated people making me feel miserable.. why should I log off feeling grumpy when I can do most of the things I want to by myself. I just don't have the patience with it all like I used to... must be getting older lol

I had some 21 year old telling me I'm a saddo tonight having no life.. haven't heard that one for a while. I told them to enjoy their dungeon queues.

I have been enjoying 5boxing Tan Jung. If for no other reason than the fact that you have to clear so many bonus objectives, i plow through them. I am considering bringing two mages to the team. Every time I upgrade my mages gear a bit, his dps goes up, noticeably so. But my shamans DPS stay the same it seems. Also, unless your raid geared, soloing the ToJ area would be a pita without a group.

[Syferr]

So how you all go with the 4 Hellbane rares ?

I had 3 teams of 5 killing em for the first week and made gold cap from it, (people really didnt want to grind that rep lol) . Now time to buy some of the more expensive TCG mounts i guess.

Im running around there with 5 but 3 should be plenty too

Yep the rep tokens were going for 40k each when it dropped , down to 5- 10k now sadly.

Same, I love x5 Boxing, and my hunters mow all rares down + its x5 chance for Medallions, off each of the 4 bosses. For me atm, since they are high in gold value I am selling them, made 180k tonight, from selling them. I go in with a few sets of toons though.

It has been fun to go outside and do something, but sadly for me, the jungle is becoming stale too fast now :(

Not sure what 3 man is like, mine are x5 and one is x4 so my partner can join in with me...

[Lyonheart]

I can never find the 4 rares alive..how often do they spawn?

[Syferr]

The spawn in different phases but most of the time people will yell out when they pop. Even if you cant see them just get the person that called it to invite you then make a raid and pass assist so you can phase all your toons to that phase.

I think they spawn in each phase on an hourly basis.

I realized i could use the group finder/custom group to find groups almost instantly! got all 4 dead in about 30 minutes! Only got one medallion though..and one mount.

Age might be a factor. :) Though I've also found that getting used to some zero-drama company, greatly diminished my willingness to put up with any kind of crap from mouth breathers and/or people trying to compensate for personal insecurities by verbally abusing others over the Internet.

To be honest, I thought I'd get more crap from people when I started multiboxing, but reactions have by far and wide been positive. Though it might help that I'm usually happy to goof about a bit, even it's just making all my characters wave at them. In the last six months I've only had one person make a remark in /say about how multiboxers apparently ruin the game. I didn't ask for details, I just gave him a hug. :cool:

As for hunting those four in Tanaan, that's indeed a good way to go about it. Though I've yet to see a mount or a medallion myself unfortunately, sofar it's been nothing but oil. *grumbles* Good luck though! :D

I'm getting called a bot a lot with this team; another asked how I could waste so much money on it.. I said don't worry about me - I can afford it.

[luxlunae]

That's too bad, the last time I did a lot of open world stuff with a full team was timeless isle and I got zero harassment for it.

I'm still considering activating a third box to make tanaan go faster, my major hesitation is that I don't want to take the time to level anything from 90-100 right now. For me the more I play the less I'm willing to sink time into anything I don't want to do.

[luxlunae]

Boo. the WOD price went back up to $50

Tonight a random stranger took another S.E.L.F.I.E. with my team, and come to think of it, that's what's been happening most since 6.1 actually. :o

Haha that's awesome!

I'm in Tanaan now & I'm glad of my healer - being fresh 100 was a little rough till I got some drops.. and I'm even more glad my team are ranged. Got some good upgrades that have saved me from having to quest through Nagrand :)

Got my trading post to 3 and now have 30% extra rep with my team being all Human.

No comments about my boxing, just people asking to join my grp.. but rep can't be farmed in a raid anymore can it?
