:cool:Freehold ... Council of captains was annoying.
:cool:Shrine of the Storm... (last boss is interesting, you get split into different phases based on role) Tank+Healer in 1 phase Dps in another.
:cool:Tol Dagor
:cool:Waycrest Manor

I've been able to down everything on normal with Pal / Disc Priest / 3x Hunter.


Heroics are next...After the gear grind.

Toned,

Did you do these at level? or did you do them after you hit 120?

Toned,

I did a mix of them as I was leveling and 120 (remember dungeons scale now).

Heroic has been MUCH harder, but I've got about half of them down, but there are a couple bosses that are just a solid blocker with this makeup until I get more gear.

I'm in the middle of leveling up my other 4 paladins to zerg down with 5x prot pal.

My favorite multibox tanks: Paladin
Disc Heals... Cons movement heavy fights are rough on disc priests, but the extra dps is nice. You can always swap to holy on movement heavy fights.

So far I'm thinking Monk might be the best multi-box healer... Druids if you play from the healer perspective aren't bad.

I basically have every tank/healer
Then 3x sham 3x hunt 3 mixed melee 3 mixed casters that I can fill in to make groups
Then the old and trusty 5x prot pal and 5x blood dks.

Last boss in Heroic Shrine of the Storm is super rough in a trinity setup.

I gave monk a long hard try awhile back, but i didnt ever get the /follow to work properly, as the "channeling" ruined it. Even after i switched talent. I experimented with adding custom steps in isboxer under the follow keybind for the monk spesifikally, but it still could break /follow and/or had to spam the followbutton too much to my liking..

If you have any new insight that solves this small, but annoying problem, i might give monk(s) another go.

Nice dungeon runs there btw :)

I go for more of the melee / fistweave version, and extend the heal of time effects as much as possible.
I also have follow bound to F and I am mashing it a lot, regardless of my group lmao.

If i recall, the main issue was that if i spammed the follow button, the monk did stop channeling and started to follow, but if i spammed the followbutton while it was following, it stopped following. So i had to babysit that character a lot, in case it stopped following. It became annoying over time. But i havent played the mistweaver in a awhile.

If blizzard just changed it so that the monk could directly start to follow, while it stood there channeling..everything about the monk would be very nice.

At the end of legion you could do soothing mist while moving, and it was glorious :P

Now what I am doing with my monk.
Driving from monk + 4 Blood DK

Chi Wave
Chi Torpedo
Spirit of the Crane
Tiger Tail Sweep
Diffuse Magic
Refreshing Jade Wind
Rising mist

Might have to swap Refreshing Jade Wind for the crane cooldown once my legendary that procs the crane doesn't work.

I haven’t done any dungeons yet :(

what’s the shortest dungeon you boxed in bfa ?

Whats the easiest dungeon you boxed in bfa?

The shortest is probably Freehold. You can skip a really good chunk of the trash, the area itself is not large and you can be mounted for the entire dungeon.

The easiest to box is Waycrest Manor, though its going to depend on your set up. There's not really much in there to cause you a problem (assuming you can function while mobile for Soulbound Goliath)

i was able to do most of the "easy" labeled dungeons from RedSorc's brain dump. using 5 x Druid Tanks. Some of them were rough because of mechanics that literally punished melee., I was able to Regen/SotF through most of the mechanics but at the end of some of them i usually only had 1 or 2 dudes standing and this is ilvl 290 average.

When i originaly tried a trinity setup within the 5 druids i had major issues, but i believe that was more due to setup/reaction speed/macros not being right more them the class being the issue. Even after having some recent success with the druid group, im still working through my group comp to find somethign that suits me better. Im currently enjoying healing on a monk right now, my DKs are super fun tanks as well. So i want to give them a try as well.

I was running Brewmaster + 4DK & Brewmaster + 5 Pal to farm BOEs in Vul Dun, Brew monks are definitely fun.

In the 5x druid setup Tank/Heal/boomx3 should work fine for any normal dungeon, or go healer + 4 bears if you need the durability.
