Hi all, as i'm new to boxing I would like to make couple of questions about heroic instances.

Is it possible to farm any Badges from heroic instance with only triple boxing and if you think that could be done what class compination you would prefer?

I'm getting my third account tomorrow and i'm going to start 3 new characters, not sure yet which ones to choose.

Thinking of 3 draenei shamans or draenei priest and 2 shamans, liked 5 shaman doing heroic sethekk halls video a lot with elementals tanking.

I'm pretty sure i can reach revered with triple-boxing by only grinding trash mobs in instances, hard part is to find easy enough bosses and way to kill them. So any help here would be nice before i start leveling.

Hopefully after 3-4 months of leveling you will hear more from me.

Only way you'll be able to farm heroics is to have a full group of five. As for class combination, Paladin/Warrior + Mage + 2 Warlocks + Priest should be fairly solid. Possibly swapping out the warlocks for Shammies if you feel the need. Kiting Heroics is probably the most haphazard way of doing it, as with some mobs you need a lot of space, and if you run into a patrol, you dead. Elementals weren't really the best tanks for bosses, Paladin/Bear Form/Warrior are the only real options.

Well only option for me atm is to triple box so i prolly just have to get a friend to tank for me :) But as i have seen Hunter to solo Mennu in heroic slave pens i guess everything is possible, not easy by any means.

Hunter can solo many things but it is very limited.

You really need good balanced group with tank, healer and cc to be able to actually _farm_ heroics, I'm not talking about getting 2 badges per day through some freaky way.

Took him what? 2+ hours to kill one boss? Eh! :D

The time investment of trying to triplebox for heoric badges is pretty high. Since you can only do a particular instance once every 24 hours, it's not a farmable source to find a particular dungeon that this would work in.

I would suggest finding the 2 remaining classes that will compliment your tripleboxing setup and just clear all the heorics :)
