Awesome video! I watched it through a couple times and learned a few things. Thanks! Would you consider a DK to be a superior tank over a prot pally when 5boxing with 4 other shaman? It seems like your DK was able to hold aggro on the mobs quite well!

I definitely consider a DK far superior to a paladin when boxing with 4 shamans. Besides the +13% damage modifier, the DK actually does quite a bit more damage (both single and multi target) than a paladin IMO. Bladed armor helps a ton with this, I have 2800 ap in tanking gear with a tanking spec and my DK can routinely pull 1500-1600 DPS on trash without hardly trying (If I actually dumped RP more, used death coil, etc, I would get up to 2000 maybe).

I just like boxing with a DK more, and I think a DK is way more fun when single boxing as well, so if I ever stop multiboxing I can make my DK my main and not regret it (can't stand playing a paladin as a main).

Really enjoyed the video, Hachoo.

Quick question: can you list the addons you're using in the video? There are a couple that look like they'd be very helpful.

Thanks!

Sure, off the top of my head, the addons that matter are: ctmod, XPerl, Multiboxer v2, carbonite (the minimap on the right), deadly boss mods (gives various warnings during boss fights etc), and titan panel (the bar at the top that lists gold, bags, xp, framerate, etc). I also have atlas and atlas loot installed but hardly ever use them.

I'm also using Auctioneer, and some other ones that aren't really visible in the video. Xperl does just about everything you would see visibly on the screen (my unit frame, the party frame, the mini-threat meter, etc). ctmod I just use for the buff organization on the upper right and the action bars (I've used it for my action bars for >3 years).

On my slaves I only have ctmod and multiboxer v2 installed, nothing else. I try to avoid using too many mods because I personally don't really like being bound to an addon.

Thanks for the addon info. Is your buff timer mod part of the ctmod? I've been using sbf, and I like the one you are using much better.

Anyway, again, nice video--I'm reactivating my team now, since I already have an 80 DK and a set of shammies sitting at 61. I stopped playing them a good while ago, so I'll be working on getting the rust off. Seeing your team in action has me looking forward to getting back into it. :)

Yes the buff mod is part of ctmod :) I didn't like it at first but now that I'm used to it I like it.

I really enjoyed the video the quality is great.
It also inspires me to get my team leveled so I can also try some of this content. You make it look so simple if only that were true.

This was pretty cool to watch, thanks for this!
