LFR experiences?

I did some solo-box LFR.. but I was doing 5 of them at once. on all 5 of my mages (they are in full pvp gear and no gems / enchants, so i was worried about the ability to kill any bosses with all 5 in the group (I since had no problem with the first 2)

It was pretty awesome. I got to play in 5 different raids at once, and just mash my arcane blast button non-stop for 3 windows, and some minor running in a circles for the other 2 (4th boss).

I won a set of shoulders and a head on my first run with them. then I got some bracers and a wand in the second run (a bit more split up)

LFR is.. awesome if you want PvE gear. I don't, but its fun :)

Pretty impressive! Why didn't you try them in just one raid? Also how did you get your hit high enough in pvp gear? I plan on running all my shaman and tank through that once a week. It's amazing how fast you gear up just running the new party instances. My tank went from 352 to 372 in 4 instance runs.

I did 3 of 4 with 4 of my 5 shammies. Sad thing was even boxing I wasn't the bottom of the 17 available DPSers. I need to gear my last toon. I did manage to get tier legs for one toon and a belt. The belt will replace a PVP one and the legs replaced a 312/318 quest green... ugggh. The moving ice wall caught my entire team on the 4th boss. Luckily I can queue again tomorrow after work.

I need to get a two step macro to work. So this week will be spent working on optimizing my set up to be able to do better DPS.

Yeah, I might do some of the new instances on some of my toons, so i can make a 5 man DPS ranged team that can LFR and always roll need on stuff :)

I didn't do my 5 toons at once for the first raid I went on, since I didn't know what to do, or expect. After the first few fights on my first mage, though it was so easy I just queued the others up. My thoughts were at the time, that each mage would get a chance to roll on the gear they needed if it dropped, but having them in the same raid is better odds, I think. I may do that next time. And then you can switch gear around your toons much easier, to either pimp one out, or spread it evenly.

Also, I was not hit capped. My DPS was lame. it's LFR they don't say anything. One of my toons was stuck outside for one fight, and I still didn't hear anything about my DPS... lol and I still got my achieve for it :)

Boxers could setup a pretty nifty system that gives guaranteed no competition for loot. Currently the rule is that you are only entitled to roll on loot on you first kill. Now this system recquires a full p remade, who each have an alt. It takes about 4 hours and some careful planning.

Run 1: you take a hunter, a priest and a dk main, all the rests are alts. This run only the hunter, dk & priest role on tokens, they are 3 different tokens, so no competition.

Run 2, you take out 3 alts, and bring in 3 new mains for this run ... lets say a shaman, pally & rogue who again share 3 different tokens, only those 3 can roll for tokens and any items they want, rest passes (tthe rest ain't even allowed for loot since they've killed the boss before)..

Run 3, swap 3 alts for 3 new mains, again 3 different tokens, ...

rinse and repeat, takes you about 8-9 runs, and if you have a decent group you can easily clear the first 4 bosses in half an hour.

If you do it with people you don't really know, you can just ask 10k deposit per player. Everyone who stays till the end of the raid gets his gold back, if the player leaves early, his deposit gets divided among the players who sat out the entire raid.

Zenga, sounds good... but why are people going to your raid, if they have to give YOU money, you take loot and all they get back is their money back? What am I missing?

I think i will just join /LFR with my 5 shamans, and then leave the group if there are too many people who can roll on my stuff :) That way I get the loot almost guaranteed, and i can spread it however I want on my toons.

Same for my melee toons, i will just bring 4x DK in, and make sure there aren't too many plate users in the raid :)

It takes 8 runs of 3 people who are entitled for loot (3 different tier tokens can drop). The money (deposit) is just a means to prevent strangers to fuck off as soon as they have their loot, and make em stay till the end (Obviously if you can get boxers to fill whole raid you don't need strangers.). If you think about it, it's less painful than take queuing up alone and get into a retarded group + you know you won't have competition for loot tokens for your 'main'. Worked well tonight and all signed up for next week again for my run.

Huge warning about LFR:
When you win a item the game takes a little bit to send it to your character, sometimes upwards of 20-30 secs. I lost a shoulder token because I won and ported out ten seconds later thinking I had it in my bags :(

Put in a ticket, make sure you mention the time the raid was, they'll go back verify and send you the item. Had a similar thing happen in a really bad HoT run where I won and item and wanted to gtfo the instance.

I had no problem boxing all 4 bosses.
Looking forward to when they open up the other 4 for LFR.
