This one is 40 meg at 1.4Mbps. With music!

Is there anyway to make it look better? My first video was 25 meg at 869 bps, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqUC2PjhGlE
and I think the quality is pretty much the same.
Any advice on getting a higher quality video online is much appreciated.
This post is inspiring.
The bar is raised once again.
Major props to you Nixi.

Thanks so much for all the positive comments and support guys!
Yesterday I went into Zul'Aman feeling good about buying my newb Paladin the badge tanking pants. I still had her spec'd holy for the trash, and my shamans were still in a 40/21 PVP build. I just wanted to get a feel for the trash mobs before I went off respecing. The Zul'Aman trash is significantly harder than Karazhan, but I managed to just use one tank holding everything clear up to the bear boss. There is a 4 pull right before him, two guys on the bears and two axe throwers. It was too much trying to tank all 4, so after a few wipes I tried to sheep one. In Zul'Aman sheep doesn't hold very long at all, and since I didn't feel like micromanaging sheep I just took my mage outta DPS duty and had her do straight sheeps on one of the axe throwers. It worked. So with my paladin holding agro on 3 mobs and my mage sheeping one I cleared to the first boss.
I respec'd my paladin for the boss. I forgot you can't summon people inside zul'aman so my whole raid went frolicking to the meeting stone. It's kind of fun having a whole raid behind you. I ran into some Alliance on the steps and wasted them. haha. When I summoned my litle pally back i was ready. Basically this guy was ALOT harder than I thought he would be. I didn't have my guys spread out far enough on the first try so when he'd do his random charge he'd hit like 3 and send them flying. The dmg was too much for one healer and the positioning mini-game was just getting too tiring. I tried him repeatedly until the trash respawned. I never really did much dmg to him. My newb paladin would just get owned too fast. I think she's just sitting at 11k hp unbuffed.
I think this guy is doable, just need to gear up more.
First of all, big congratz on getting as far as you have in Kara. Especially with the level of gear some of your toons have.
Going to have issues in ZA with your current tank/healer setup. I'm sure you have some pretty insane DPS, but most of those encounters require 2 healers, and 2 tanks...
Sure got me thinking about what type of setup I would use for 10-boxing. Would need some more PCs though, current setup can't handle it :(
Edit - Was thinking about trying this a while back, and this post reminded me. Most weeks I do Kara on at least some of my toons, but not this week! I'm a bit better geared then you average Kara group, so was able to 5-man Attumen, give me a mount!

Would love to see a really long video of you doing Kara :thumbsup:
bear bitch hits hard idd, specially in his bear fase, 11k hp is low even for a pally, when you get that up with some t4 and badge loot you would be ready to hit it for sure!
I would try the Eagle boss first. When/if you are able to start doing timed runs for bear mounts, you'll want to do Eagle -> Bear -> Dragonhawk -> Lynx anyway.
Eagle boss is more of a DPS race; Bear boss is a tank check. I've had the nost luck with me (paladin tank) tanking bear boss in normal form and Druid tank taking bear phase.
If your DPS is your strength, try Eagle boss.
Gratz again on this feat!
GZ :)
Omg hacks.
I might end up going with 10 acnts as well.. GAH !! why did i ever come to this site!?!?!?
Anyways. I have 9 70s now..( on 7 acnts..yes..all mine! )I would add another tank. I have 4 shaman..one paly..two hunters..one mage and one priest. Should i level my 36 warrior.. or my druid? i like the idea of the druid for the added buffage.
The Power of 10! ( coming soon )

Yeah I about fell over when I woke up this morning to read the forums. The video also skyrocketed from 1000 to almost 90,000 views too.Quote:

Can't wait to give kara another shot and record all the boss kills. Hopefully I can find time before the weekend. :)

Suvega and I can clear Kara except for Netherspite/Nightbane, but the things holding us back at this point is our tanks' gear. DPS can gear up from arenas/bgs, but you can't say the same for tanks. They literally have to raid/badge grind the whole way up.
Tank gear is always the bottleneck for raid progression. Netherspite was a gear check. Prince was a gear check. Bear boss is a gear check.
S2 Gavel > Continuum Blade.
If you got your shamans their weapon and shield, you can get your pally the gavel.
Im still wearing the blue Righteous Shoulders on my pally tank. When the shoulder drop off Netherspite 2 weeks ago, some 8 year old warrior (literal noob) rolled need on it. I forgot to set it back to masterloot, so an 8 year old pwned me. :(
Grats on the 10-man, very inspiring.
I think the reason Attumen can't be 5-man by Pally + 4Shamans is there needs to be a decurse in the encounter.
I agree with the rarity of the tanking shoulders for pally :(
2x Blessing of Protection should help buy you time.Quote:
The opera event was big bad wolf. I was dreading that but it was easier than Romulo and Jullianne. I just used Ellays advice and killed him with brute force. The first attempt was pretty ugly, my warlocks pulled agro. My 2nd try was better, I got him down to 1% before finally wiping. The 3rd try I waited for all cooldowns to come back and just went all out DPS. When he turned a toon to little red i just let him kill the guy and kept chugging spells. The fear sucked, but i had grounding totems down. I still had to reface toons though.
/cast [target=targettarget,help] Blessing of Protection. :)
Holy nuts, nice job clearing to the bear boss. I had to re-gem and re-enchant my Paladin from avoidance to Stamina/Armor for ZA.Quote:

The 2 bears next to each other gives each other buffs, or a debuff on the tank, so they are fought apart.
Sheep is still good to control the adds. /cast [target=focus] Polymorph spammed every few cycles should to it.
The bear boss is just positioning and landing taunt. With 2 paladins, the "gamble" part is landing the taunt which is based on "melee to hit" 5.
Amplify magic on everyone helps too.
I've been tracking this post since it first showed up and like many of you, it really has me thinking. First, big congrats Nixi, you are about to single-handedly increase Blizzard's subscribers by a million as a bunch of "me-too-ers" purchase five more (or nine more) accounts and attempt to duplicate your accomplishment.
The really tempting thing for me is that I'm just so well set up to do this. I have 13 level 70s on my accounts, almost all of them are in Kara gear or better (mainly due to months of arena losses and the freepurple gear), and have another 5 at level 62.5. Surely with 18 70s I could come up with any class combo that would possibly be needed to do 10-mans.
I really should hold off till I see how many 10-mans will be in WotLK.... shouldn't I?

According to [url='http://www.wowwiki.com/World_of_Warcraft:_Wrath_of_the_Lich_King']WoWWiki[/url] there are currently 6
- The Nexus
- Gundrak
- Chamber of the Aspects
- Ulduar
- Icecrown Citadel
- Naxxramas
Should be enough content there for someone to 10-box to make it worthwhile
Very nice indeed /jealous
I'm looking forward to do Kara myself :D (five-boxing + a tank/healer group perhaps)
Same. The good kind of jealous mind you :PQuote:
/jealous
Impressive piece of work. Coming up with a whole 10-person-raid, so many different classes and the skill to controll all of them to clear Karazhan is top-notch. I would love to see a high quality video on vimeo soon. :thumbsup:
Hey Nixi,
Great job! I never did any dual-boxing myself, but it sounds really awesome.
Some things that might help you perhaps:
Spec your second paladin into (improved) Sanctity Aura for a HUGE threat boost for your tank (you'll have to put them in the same group though). You said a few times that threat was an issue for your warlock, so this could help you a lot. A possible talent build would be:
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=sZV0tIx0dMgoxVfx0bcz
But there's a lot of room for change. I don't think you really need Precision on your offtank (although for the bear boss in ZA it's a great asset). Furthermore, I don't know if you use judgements, but the Improved Seal of the Crusader will add a lot of damage for all your casters as well.
Good luck and keep us posted!
Did I mention earlier in the post I'm lazy? Lol if i didn't i'll have to make a point to say it. The first night i wiped over and over at curator it's because i was too lazy to port my shamans back to respec. Distributing all 41 talent points 4 times wasn't something I felt like doing that late at night. Then on my first several attempts at Romulo and Jul I never bothered to change my earthshock macro until i wiped like 6+ times.Quote:
S2 Gavel > Continuum Blade.
I'm kind of focusing on two tasks right now and they are taking lots of time away from each other. My 10 man raid and my 4 sm Arena team. Lately I've just been spending most of my grinding hours on the shamans getting honor and equipment. THey went from less than 400 spell dmg a couple weeks ago to 700+. When I have downtime at the office I can manage to sneak in some game time, but I can only open 4 accounts. I feel like I should maximize my free time by playing all 4 accounts and just using the shamans. The past weeknd I was like, "i NEED to get the s2 mace for my paladins, so i just took 6 toons into the battlerounds. I got ALOT of hate for hogging that much man-power on the team and we lost quite a bit. My shamans were sturdier, and they killed alot, but what was killing us was my mobility with that many guys. I know, i should just take the two pallys and find a big ass warrior to heal.
I'm too lazy to decurse when I 10 man it. :PQuote:
I think the reason Attumen can't be 5-man by Pally + 4Shamans is there needs to be a decurse in the encounter.
I actually use BOP quite a lot when I 5 man. I have a slightly more robust macro that includes a mouseover and there was a post on these forums awhile back about adding [target=targettarget,help,raid] in there so that you won't BOP yourself. Even with that in there for some strange reason I still BOP myself just as much as the guys that need it. When I 5 box I only use a small percentage of each classes utility, when I 10 box I use even less. A lot of the reason is limited key space. I did buy an x-keys, and I spent 3-4 hours trying to set up a configuration, but the next time I fired up the raid group I scrapped it after feeling really strange using it. I haven't given myself a chance to get used to it. But when I was setting it up I was like, "okay, gonna use everything everyone has got!" and I -easily- ran outta button space.Quote:

This sounds like some really good advice. Tbh I don't know how to solo any of my characters with the exception of my Shaman and Warrior. The warrior isn't even on the Multi-boxing radar anymore once I leveled my first paladin up to replace her. 10 toons is just too much to care about and I just get too lazy to do the micromanaging each one requires. I mean, I can't tell you much about half the talent trees that my guys can spec into. Plus just keeping the mana-potion injectors, mad alch potions (all consumables) is a task in and of itself. Not to mention the transmutes, cloth, etc. *dizzy*Quote:

Lately to cool the threat of my lead lock I just keep her imp out instead of sac'ing it and i'm hitting the soulshatter more liberally (as opposed to staring at omen I'll just mash it when i feel she's getting hot.) .It's worked out pretty well.
I didn't even scratch the bear boss. I just found it so difficult to pull him. When i was playing the encounter over in my head I was like "damn this should be easy. it's just tank and spank". But from the get-go he's hitting my tanks so damn hard and when he charges I have to play the 'spin the pally around game'. I have another plan to take him out, i'm gonna try it after I do Kara and post videos for those bosses, so I don't think i'll get another chance to do him for a few days.
Again I really appreciate all the congratulations and positive comments. :)
why don't you take your 10 to wsg and just sit there. when they kill you don't rez at the healer just run away from the rez (so they can't camp you) no one will report you afk and the battle will only be like 5 mins long. Would that work?Quote:

Another reason I haven't done much 5+ in the Bg's is because my internet connection seems to get unstable running that many toons. Battlegrounds in particular are prone to my guys disconnecting. I'm thinking about getting another phone line so I can have two adsl lines, but I'm not sure if that's really the source of the problem. I have a small suspicion it's my network and they way they are hooked up to the internet.
I had also thought about trying to hold the other teams flag and try to 'one shot' their guys as they try to steal it.
That was actually one of the things in my mind pushing me towards getting a few more accounts and 10-boxing. In WSG I would obviously fail in, but it would be a quick 10 marks. Right now with my 5-man team it is a fail too, but it fails 5 "real-life" players too so I don't feel comfortable doing it. Oh, and I wouldn't just sit there, as that is against the Blizzard TOS, but even with me trying with a 10-man tank moving around as one it wouldn't take long to lose the BG.Quote:

AV wouldn't be bad at all if I make sure my 10 guys were all in groups supposed to rush the RH. I could probably solo Drek with a 10-man set-up once the towers were capped.
Think I'd still have to 5-man EOTS and AB though, 10-manning would be an insta-lose for too many other folks - I'd feel bad.
Getting 5 X the honor when 5 boxing has made the BGs doable for me now - I never really could stand to do them single-boxing (way, way too little gain for the time invested), but I kind of drool at getting 10 X the benefit at once, at least in two of the BGs.
