Well, finally here's a video of my team. Basically, boss kills in non-heroic instances such as SH, SV, Mech, Bot and SL are shown. Good for rep/shard/gold grinding. Enjoy!

Nice vid, seems you are progressing well.

Makes we want to be an all nuke team more and more. With a tank and healer the mobs go down so much slower.... 80% off 2nd boss in SLabs before the first MC? That's imba, I'm lucky if I get him to 45% and I have slightly better gear...

Out of interest, are there mob packs or instances you have particular difficulties with using this setup, particularly if elementals are on cooldown?

Nice work. Though since you seem to have a good setup for it, would you mind posting your spread out macros/settings?

Actually that second boss in SLabs was down to 8% before the first MC. I'll upload the file on filefront so you can download and watch it in better resolution. Earth elementals were on cooldown, so I figured I'd give the fire elementals a shot - which surely wasn't the best idea. Nuking my own team was not part of the plan. Next time I'll use earth elementals and totems of wrath.

I can't think of any trash pack that I would need elementals for. In Magister's terrace you do want elementals for every boss fight, though (by far the toughest instance, imho). So, if you're comfortable rotating/mixing fire and earth that leaves you with 10 minutes in between bosses cooldown wise. In steamvault, I use earth for the first, fire for the second and earth for the final boss again. As you see in the video, for some bosses you don't even have to bother, just nuke them down.

Generally, the spread out/formation macros are addressed in the respective forum subsection. Anyway, I control all characters in their window by WASD. For spread out, I use the arrow keys as follows:
left arrow (diamond):
toon1 moves left
toon2 moves right
toon3 moves forward
toon4 moves backward
main does nothing
down arrow:
toon1 moves left
toon2 moves right
right arrow:
toon3 moves left
toon4 moves right

That's it. Press the down and right arrow keys at the same time and release one earlier than the other - there's your line. You can simultaneously press S with your main character to move back a bit and fit in, if you like.

Ah, yeah I know the spread out thread very well, but you had lined them up so perfectly that I had to find out if you did it any differently than I do. Because of lag or something, at least one of my characters always gets further away than the others when I spread to a line :S
