If you want to save yourself some time downloading, just download the latest full patch to 2.4. There are only a couple small updates after that.
So last night I finally logged in with all my guys. ALL the addons were out of date; most of my old macros worked \o/ however!
So I’m refining my macros and making changes first before I really do anything. I got lazy towards the end and didn’t make the appropriate macros that I needed long ago, thanks to the macro part of the forum I’m receiving help with that.
With my last 15mins I decided I’d just in to Hell Fire and try the instance. 2nd pull my Priest died, simply because I didn’t heal, at all lol. Wasn’t even watching the health bar! Clearly I need to learn to play again but I found my corpse run funny none the less since I forgot to Soul Stone as well.
I reached the first boss, downed it, sharded its mail blue drop and I thought hell yeah I’m on my way! Then the Technicians came and I started kiting those guys, getting better with the heals now, then I had to call it a night.
I need work but I’ll get there.
Now for the story last night getting my machines up and running. So I was waiting on the CPU cooler fans. They arrive I come home all excited to get these things ready. Crack open the first case and begin. Now the new CPU cooler fans I got couldn’t be just some easy snap in to place deal, these required me to take the mother board out to main it, and it used some really odd bracket retention setup to hold the CPU down. An hour and a half later after my hands are all cut up, that CPU thermal grease all over me, one shirt ruined I set the PC upright.
I turn the PC on, a few beeps and no display. I think WTF did I break it? So I’m fooling around with it and then I watch the brand new CPU cooler fan brackets come right off and have the thing land on my desk making a big mess. GRR!
So I took that damn piece of crap out of my case, loaded up the old CPU cooler fan with thermal grease and put it back on. The fan seemed to be ok; I didn’t understand how it wasn’t doing its job. I fire up the PC and the same thing happens, nothing.
Then I notice the video card fan isn’t moving. Hmmm. I reseat it, still nothing. So I had an extra one lying around. I put it in there and the machine boots right up. Also note it didn’t over heat. So that got me thinking, all this time is it a video card over heating problem?
So I crack open the two other machine giving me trouble, Video card fans don’t work. I let them run awhile till the machines locked up. The cards were so hot it blistered my finger from just gently touching them. As luck would have it, I have 2 more of these video cards. I have PC that’s defective but runs SLI in it. Take the cards out of it and place them in the machines. Button up all the cases and fire everything up.
They ran for 2 hours none stop, not a single issue.
So now I need to return those CPU cooler fans, I’m out $50 because I can’t return the one I tried to replace, but the others are unopened so score.
Today I’m going to research the hell outta macros and addons and see what I can do. I have my mains UI close to what it used to look like before now, which is a plus. Only now I’m adding a lot more macros, I need to figure out Focus and make a lot of Pet CC ones.
One of the cool changes I made already is Howl Of terror, I placed each one on a arrow key, I have 4 separate ones, plus Priest fear. That’s going to be nice.
I am enjoying this on going saga and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
Lol, I agree. You have a good writing style Bradster and it is cool to see how you are progessing in restarting your WoW multi-boxing adventures. Good luck and have fun! As for me, I'm a multi-boxing newbie but I have my 1x pally and 4x shaman team up to level 32 now at least. :)Quote:

XD thanks
Wohoo!
Hi Brad, I had made a post a few days ago, but for some reason, it hasn't shown up in this thread. Could be caused by the error IE gave me after hitting Submit :p
I'm really glad that you've returned as you seemed to be the only warlock boxer to release vids!
I have a couple requests, if possible:
I wish to see you sneak up on an opposition killing a mob, and spam Seed of Corruption of the mob, so that the opposition kills himself from procing SoC off the mob (don't know if this is going to actually work, but it would be funny, as the guy would not know what's going on).
I also wish to see some massive Seed spam in groups of allies, and I can think of no better place then defending Galv in AV.
Welcome back Brad!

That's ok I went to add to this thread and for the life of me, I couldn't find it. I figured it got deleted some how.
Let me update you guys on what’s going on.
I got most of my macros all setup, there’s a few I’d like to add but nothing critical. First thing I did when I came back was do Ramparts. Then Blood furnace. I completed both. I came back at level 65, I’m now level 69. As you can see I’ve been working hard with a recharged set of batteries.
I’ve tried and completed the following instances so far.
Ramps
BF
Underbog
Slave Pens
Mana Tombs
Note I’m not 70 or geared yet. I recorded both Ramps and BF, the BF just needs compressed, the Ramps one needs music added, rendered then compressed.
I plan to record each PVE instance, as I had to developed tactics to beat some of the bosses with no tank. The hardest boss for me was the 1st one in Underbog. Took about 7 wipes before I learned it.
PVP wise, I’ve collected a few decent fights, 7 (mostly 70s) vs. me and such. But not nearly enough to make a video out of, that will take time.
Gold wise I’m doing well, I can afford 4 flying mounts, working on the last bit for the 5th in time for 70. Then I have to finish off tailoring to make some blue gear as a base to start with. Also then to bring my enchanting up a bit as I’ve been running into problems with skill level on disenchanting some of the boss drops.
I do want to share something that I didn’t know since I’ve been gone. That is when you die in the sky your corpse now falls to the ground. I didn’t know about this. So there I was grinding some orcs, and I see this level 70 gnome (I HATE gnomes!) I ran up to stomp him and he jumped on his Drake. I dotted him up with all the insta cast ones and watch him fly straight up in the air. At this point to see him I have the camera angle straight up in the sky as I watch his health tick… tick…tick.. I see the HK pop up on my screen, but then I see something. I’m looking hard and I see this object moving in the sky, here I thought it was a graphic bug. But as I continued to watch it, it got closer and closer, and bigger. Then I see some red, and realize its text. Then it lands right by my feet, picture perfect right in front of my army. The object flying in the sky was the Gnomes corpse descending.
After I realized what just happened I busted out laughing. That was the most epic gank EVER. I’m so sad I didn’t record it.
The 7 Vs me deal happened around The Ring of Blood. I was killing the ogres there for a quest, and 2 groups showed up to do it, saw me there AOEing down a ton of them and jumped me. I came back rested to full decided not to pursue them I’m still learning how to play again and working out kinks with my setup. They come back and gank after a large pull. So I come back this time, rest to full and wait. 2mins later they had to clear some ogres to get to me (I was no longer pulling them at this point). I rushed them, took all 7 out, they started to rez again, killed the priest again lol.
Later that day I said HEY let me solo Durn for the quest. Shortly after the pull I realized, well I’m not going to down this guy yet, then a group jumped me. I’d rez and come back and take a few with me. But being camped by a group with fully hp/mp and buffs is a bit tough with half hp/mp, no pets or buffs. After I did 4 corpse runs taking at least 3 with me with half stats (lawl) I decided to watch a movie and come back later.
Also messing around I made 5 Shaman alts, leveled them to 16 in one sitting. Decided I’m going to stick with the locks for a while, grind out some honor gear, some gold perhaps epic flying mounts we’ll see. To do the Shamans right I’d need to change some key bindings and basically redesign my whole UI to something different. I don’t want that to affect my mains now, so perhaps in the future I’ll mess with them a bit more, at the very least take advantage of full rested XP.
I’ve been taking screen shots with the intention of placing them here, but I always forget, or don’t have time before work.
Definitely make the push to 70 and unlock the daily quests, if you decide to level up a 2nd group (and you likely will eventually !) then you have that income to make all the expenses just disappear. Need a tradeskill to 375? 5 epic ground mounts or 5 normal flyers? Crafted epics for more pewpew? Run dailies for a day or 2 and poof you have the gold for what you need :)
And yes it is a lot of fun to find someone fighting a mob(s), dropping multiple SoC's on them and waiting for fireworks. A friend and I run duo warlocks for fun, we always hit the popular grinding spots and see how many kills we can get. We hit a Prot Pally killing the demon hunter supplicants with 6 seeds before... he never knew what hit him. :D
