Someone in the comments saying they got a ban for hardware boxing.
Yeah I saw that and it was concerning to hear that the reason reportedly given was that even while hardware boxing "it breaks the ToS by controlling more than 1 character at a time"... I politely asked for screenshots of the correspondence from Blizz and more details on the actual physical setup from the person. There could be more to the story and even if there were not the ban may be overturn-able...Quote:

Yeah I was noticing that also. Seems like folk just doing things on Retail like the "2x4 farming" with even just supposedly MS Windows and mouse-over-focus with no 3rd party software getting at least long suspensions if not outright bans. Hard to really know what is going on but these are scary times...Quote:

Waiting on my last few components to show up this week, and I'll be back doing mythic+ and early dungeon guides like I usually do at an expansion launch.
Good thing though is that leveling is very quick now.Quote:

excited to see your results Toned! We definitely need more pushing the content.
Retail is much better though most of my focus is/was Classic and all my Classic teams are kinda screwed right now. If I resubscribe and start 5boxing again I may just leave my Classic accounts alone for awhile as leveling there is a PiTA relatively...Quote:

I've been boxing mythic+ consistently with these groups [pre-software ban / shadowlands]Quote:

My current debate is Divine Toll on prot paladins is just so damn good.
Do I start with 5x Prot or Hunter Trinity or Druids or all 3 OMFG... also DKs unless they are broken are gonna prob sit on the sideline like my mixed melee group / mixed caster group ... until I get hardware boxing down to the muscle memory that software boxing is.
I was glad I played my Prot paladin solo to 60, while waiting on hardware and figuring stuff out... now the boxes can skip campaign etc... gonna be so nice.
So I've tried the following comps:
5x Druids
Prot Pal/ 4x Ele Shaman
Prot Pal/ 4x Enhancement Shaman
Prot Pal/3x Hunter/Resto Shaman
x5 Prot Paladin
Out of that group, 5x Druid and the Trinity comp are viable for now in my testing and both have their strengths and weaknesses.
Melee teams, even all tanks run into issues with there being so many more mechanics now.
I plan to make a further update once I flesh them out/test them more. The biggest problem I'm running into is trying to pick the right covenant for a mixed team as it seems very beneficial to have them all the same, but some of their abilities are terrible for multiboxing.
Yea it's annoying... I've just gone with making them all the same covenant for obvious time sink reasons... but on the abilities it's hit and miss on the various classes.Quote:

If I start 5boxing ShadowLands I am thinking I will start with my initial team being 5 Druids just for overall simplicity/flexibility and because they are decent Hybrids and are the only class with 4 specializations covering all 3 roles.
My 5 kids all have Night Elf Hunters for collecting pets so maybe I will mix in their hunters for a trinity comp from time to time.
Is the Guardian Druid a decent Tank for use with 3 Hunters + Resto Druid or should I prioritize leveling a different tank (and if so which one(s))? To me the Monk's Stagger mechanic seems to fit best the Druid HoTs but suspect the higher damage from Captain America style Prot Paladin may be better for clearing dungeons.
Guardian Druid is "Ok". It just works really well with the synergy.
I've had the most success so far with a Full 5 Druids because I'm able to burst down mechanics, their sustained doesn't feel great though so I'm not sure how this transitions, but I've done my first full clear Mythic using this method.
All 8 new Shadowlands dungeons have been completed on Mythic Difficulty with ilvl being much lower than the drops in the zone. Simple awesome, what a great expansion so far. So pumped. They all feel mostly doable. There is no Siege of Boralus for us this time around so far.
Awesome! As i play through the game solo.l i really miss boxing it. I might step up to hardware boxing in the near future.Quote:

Actually yes. I've done all 4 of the current wings on layer 3 with Druids.
Here's a video of one :)
