Got any advice for other shamboxers? I could barely do BF/Ramparts at 62 w/ 5 shamans and you managed to 4 man it at 61!Quote:

Just updating my current progress. My 5-class boxing group has cleared:
RFC lvl 15
WC lvl 18
SFK lvl 21
BFD lvl 23
RFK lvl 25
GNO lvl 27
Next target scarlet monastery.
Full clear ZF at 44. Full clear Maraudon at 46.
Haven't gotten a chance to play that much lately :(
Nothing too spectacular but i took my Priest / Lock / Lock tri box team into Deadmines last night at lv 17 (dinged 18 inside) - cleared up to and including the first boss with no wipes.
Unfortunately I forgot about the 2 elites that spawn and come up behind you after killing the ogre boss and whilst sitting around tweaking some macros I got jumped and wiped - it was about 1 am at this point so i spirit rezd and logged - will try to get a bit further tonight but VC seems out of the question with just 3 toons (damn my pc!)
Level 63 - Paladin Tank, Shaman Heal, 3x Mages DPS
Hellfire Rampart
Trash mobs were easy, even when there was a group of 4-5 because of my 3 mages == 3 sheeps :thumbsup:
First Boss - Watchkeeper Gargolmar
Sheeped both of his adds, tank and spanked the boss until dead. Then took out one of the add with the other sheeped, then took out the last add.
It's funny to hear the boss yelling "Heal me" and nothing happenening.
2nd Boss - Omor the Unscarred
Would have been easy... but didn't know about the curse AOE aura so I wiped once. Read about it, spaced everyone out from each other and brought him down.
3rd Boss - Vazruden and Nazan
Wiped about 4 or 5 times. Finally figured it out. Full DPS on the rider while keeping an eye out on where the fireballs are and moving the team if needed. Once the dragon landed, had my Paladin tank the dragon while the DPS continues whacking on the rider until dead. DPS down the dragon while moving my tank around to avoid the fireballs and keeping the flames away from my team. Finally dead as red.
Dragonblight Alliance:
32 Dranei Shaman - Scherman (Resto spec)
4x 32 Dranei Hunters - Scherbek, Scherbin, Scherbag, Scherbog (Beast spec)
So far I've been able to clear:
WC, DM, Stocks, RFK, SM:GY, SM:Lib
Plan is to swap in a feral druid toon for one of the hunters around 40. Also have a buddy that is 4 boxing (5 with wife playing tank) on the same server. Hope is to try Kara at some point.
Cheers!

Awesome. Do you have any other screenshots?
Just UB on my Fembots thread, I wanna start fraps'n bosses but haven't really did anything like that before so I'll have to look into tutorials.
Are you running a 5 shamans team?Quote:

Just started a new trio that I eventually will use for 3v3 arenas.
Shaman (Resto) - Phuuk
Warlock (Demo) - Phuuc
Warlock (Demo) - Phuuq
Current Level: 23
Edit: I am finding so far that 3 chars with 2 pets can function in a 5 man setting rather well. With my setup, I have 1 healer, 2 DPS, and 2 tanks. The VW's have just as much health and armor as a true tank. I know this changes at higher levels, but is working great for now.
Instances
RFC - cleared at 15, no wipes. VW's tank, shaman heals, warlocks dot + drain
WC - cleared at 22, no wipes. Took a long time though, almost 2 hours.
You know people are gonna report the hell out of your names in addition to the multiboxing right? lolQuote:

The c and k might but the q? I doubt it ;p Fuh Q is a fairly common respell of it nowadays lol
Druid, Mage, Lock, Hunter, and Priest.
5boxing I've cleared:
Ramparts, Blood Furnace, Slave Pens, Underbog, Mana Tombs and Auchinai Crypts.
Tonight my goal is Sethekk Halls, then Old Hillsbrad and Black Morass.
Druid and Mage are 70. Druid in kara/SSC gear. Mage in hyjal/BT gear. The other three are only 69, in a mix of greens and blues. Gearing up pretty quick, however.
(and I don't even mind when every boss drops unusable plate, cause those shards sell pretty damn well)
Got up to 11 tonight after finishing my bear form and fire totem quests, so I thought I'd give RFC a shot. Destroyed the first two worm mobs no problem. Went to pull the 3rd mob which is a level 15 earth elemental and I see "Immune" flash across all 5 screens. Uh oh! Ran out with only one death and then regrouped. Got Flame Shock onto the bar for the Shaman (hadn't seen a need for it up till now) and gave it another shot. Spamming moonfire and FS, some heals between cooldowns and 4 Searing Totems blasting away I barely managed to kill it.
Running a 4 toon team atm which is pushing my Pentium 4 to the limits, so I have been going into instances slightly higher than I would normally.
I rolled the mage a couple of weeks later than the rest when i upgraded my Ram , so he has been playing catchup.
So far my Priest / Lock /Lock /Mage team has cleared:
Deadmines - lvs 25, 25, 25, 22
SFK - lvs 26,26,26,23 - this was SOOO easy, the mobs were grey in the first half of the instance - I have since read that SFK was 'retuned' for 18-21 a couple of patches back - dammit if I had known that I would have gone earlier to farm all those blue cloth pieces - as it was I did it once and left in search of XP.
Stockades - 27,27,27,25 - I hit respawns halfway through due to my 'slow and steady approach' - If any of the bosses in here actually dropped loot on a regular basis I would be farming this place , but 1 run and zero blues makes this a one stop only kind of place.
Not sure whether to go for RFK, with it being in the middle of Horde central , will check out the caster drops on wowhead. SM is looming now , I will be hitting the graveyard at 30 i think.
(mage up to lv 28 now, catching up fast , I am doing all collection quests on him only to try to close the XP gap)
Hey there,
i am playing a blood Elf team (Pala,Hunter,Warlock,Mage and Priest) and i cleared Scarlet Monastery tonight. All chars are lvl 36. Whiped 2 times before killing Whitemane and her Boss. I really enjoyed Scarlet Monastery since first entering Graveyard at 31. I started multiboxing 1 month ago and it lead me back to wow after 1 year of absence due to massive boredom and lack of goals besiceds extensive raiding which i hate.
Its so much fun to play an instance with a good tactic on your own :D rather than rushing trough it with an overpowered bunch of (imcompetent) strangers. :wacko:
I would not like to have 2 or more of the same class so i will try the hard way of multiboxing. is anyone here playing 4 or 5 different classes and already doing outland instances ?
have fun
Steppenwolf 8) Kult der Verdammten - EU
Hey
44 Pally
43 Priest
43 Mage
43 Mage
38 mage
finished SM at 41, did RFD at 42 but it was really boring and I've now moved onto Uldaman and cleared twice, no wipes. I've got to say that when I was a single boxer I hated Uldaman, but as a multiboxer it's my favourite instance so far as there's so many nice drops for the whole team. I'll do a few more runs as my lowbie mage isn't high enough for the discs quest yet but I'm getting nice xp and drops.
My multiclass team (Prot Pally, Holy Priest, Elemental Shaman, Fire Mage, Moonkin Druid) has cleared all non-heroic dungeons and all outside quests in Outland. I've "soloed" Galv and Drek'thar in AV as well.
Completed SFK at 24. Now to start farming SFK and WC until I hit about 28. I'm also thinking about adding a 4th character as 3-boxing the instances takes a long time to insure no wipes.Quote:

Wow, time flies!!! I've been meaning to post my progress, but before I knew it I hit 40 with my 5man (er person) team.
Quested until 25 before I read about boosting, then used my 70 holy pally to take us through Stocks and then SM. Started to do ZF, but seems like it's taking too long. Will see if questing is faster at this point. If only I had a 70 mage!
Currently 53 on my 4x huntards. Last instance I ran was a Princess Maraudon run. I tried out Sunken Temple and Blackrock Depths. Both turned out to be immensely boring but pretty easy. So since about lvl 47 I have been questing ALOT. It's actually really fun and about as fast as instance grinding. I think the only reason I'm actually enjoying the questing is two things:
1. Questhelper!!!!! (best addon in the world)
2. The zones are fun. I love Searing Gorge, Burning Steppes, EPL, WPL, Winterspring, Felwood, Un'goro crater.
ding lvl 47 4x hunters
ding lvl 51 1x priest 4x locks
ding lvl 62 4x shammies
Venture Co. / Horde FTW!
I've now cleared every TBC 5 man instance. Currently working on the heroics. I have heroic Ramparts, BF, and SP done. Working on H underbog currently. Running a similar group makeup to skarlot. 1 war, 1 lock, 1 priest, 2 mages. I use 1 desktop, 1 notebook, just 2 screens. 3 casters on notebook, lock and war on desktop with keyclone.
Thext
First post for me in this Thread.
I lvled to 19 on Blood Mist Ilse and then headed to DM and have been in instaces ever since. My general plan of attack is make sure I get all quests for the instance and run it until done. This has meant doing some running around and some painful quests at time, but mostly ok. I have also run instances multiple times until read to progress to the next instance.
So far it has gone like this.
DM- 19
SFK- 22
BFD - 24
RFK - 25
Stocks - 26
Gnomer - 27
SMGY - 30
SMLIB - 32
SMARM - 36
SM CATH - 37
ULDA - 39
.......
Not sure if I will keep doing instances now or head off and clear some quests.
I'll run Ulda a few more times and then decide.
updates for me, been doing other things recently.
dinged 44 just a bit ago. instance updates are:
armory full clear on first try at 36.5 (some where 36 others 37)
cathedral full clear at 38 with a couple wipes. mostly caused by those damn scarlet wizards.
one shotted uldaman(including archeades) at 40 but didnt really like the instance so only ran once
mara orange side... eww was able to do it at 42 but it was painful with resists and such. and @43 i still was not able to kill noxxion. he spawns just too many adds for me to deal with and I usually wipe at around 20% after the 3-4th spawn.
mara purple side... full clear @42. was even easier than orange side IMO. Celebras is just laughable. did wipe some usually do to the stealthed mobs arriving at worst possible times. I still have some deaths but usually its just because i go fast, if I slow down so I can use my cooldowns every pull It would be easy mode but take a lot longer. (cooldowns being bloodfury and omgyes elemental mastery)
mara inner... still working on this. As of 43 I was not able to even kill those hydras reliably. They hit way too hard, too much hp and resists were horrid (they are 46-47 after all). Princess will be interesting. I actually was not aware she was immune to nature (mentioned above) so my strat wil be intersting for this. It is no big deal though because I plan to be here for atleast a little while to gear up my guys, lots of excellent caster stuff in here which should really help my damage output (plus i still need 2-3 levels to even equip any of it) After this I may dable in ZF but the savage set in BRD has caught my eye so i think that will be my next target. Not to mention the cloth drops from humanoid mobs will be handy later for tailoring alts and first aid.
PS - Im having a BLAST. and vyndree/suvegga you guys are awsome.
*update* pushing thru inner mara, lvl 44 with the resist rate and new rank of lightning bolt made the hydras easy mode. These elemental patrols really piss me off. all immune to nature and spawn lots of adds when they die. my melee is ok but they have some prety hefty defense. But what is making me hate this place are these damn demietradon packs.. the 3's were bad but these 4 and 5 pulls are pretty much a garaunteed wipe. they always get to my party and then just chain silence everyone. All I can really do is pop cooldowns and kill one or two in the group then ankh and repeat and it really annoys me..maybe just farm outer and move on as much as I want those daggers off princess... :(
1) Ragefire chasm.
pain in the ass instance, its so long to walk between bosses. its quite easy however and doing quite well with not much wipes. if I was more careful I could get it done without wipes. average time is about an hour for 2 bosses, (I took a break from killing 2 came back later killed another 2).
after getting concecrate its way easier holding aggro on mobs.
2) 1x pally (tank) 1x lock 2x mages - all lev 20
I think maybe I shoulda replaced one of the mages with a shammy but I think it might get abit complicated, I haven't levelled or played a shaman before so I don't know how complicated it could get.
Update from me.
Went into ZF at lvl 42. Luckily for me I dinged 43 at the start of the instance.
This has been the most challenging instance for me yet. The blood drinkers, and witch doctors require some thought for positioning every fight (god I hate using my brain) and the Hunters were just painful. I learnt to take the hunters down real fast, as if they Hex my pally who is my leader, the shammies just run around in circles following the frog, whilst I quickly remember what keybind I have to hit to change leader. If it was 1 or 2 hunters this is no problem, because you can just burn them down from distance and leave the aggro with the Shammies. The problem is when its 1 or 2 hunters with supporting witch doctor and blood drinker. This requires the pally to pick up aggro on the dr and drinker whilst burning down the hunters. Now for whatever reason, maybe its how the mechanics work, when ever in this situation, without fail my pally would get hexed. I guess its the hunters job to take down the one with the most aggro. I could get myself out of this situation, but it was annoying and usually resulted in one of shammies getting killed :(
I ended up clearing the instance at lvl 43. No good drops. Plan on running 2-3 more times before some easy quests around Tanaris and then off to Mara.
Im currently lvl 46.
Well, I've actually never posted here with what I've done so far.
My team (see my sig) was a collection of a mid 60's Priest I had sitting around (she was one of my 1st chars created at launch and I feel like I actually play the healer role very well), and a low 60's Hunter that I had recently level due to never having played one yet. The Huntard was poorly geared and truth be told I was not very good at playing him. I was everything wrong with the average Hunter player rofl. No shot rotation to speak of, just pet + pewpew, loot and carry on.
I decided to roll up a Pally tank and 2 Mages and get to questing, with a wee bit of boosting thrown in early on.
Sooooo... my peeps are now:
61 Paladin
61 Mage
61 Mage
64 Hunter
68 Priest
I went to Hellfire at 57 with them, and I basically did all of 57-58 in a big fat AoE grinding explosion. It was very fast and very profitable. Then at 58 I started questing Hellfire, finished all of it, then went into Zangarmarsh.
My team is sitting at 61.75... and completely out of Outlands quests lol. It sucks. So I figured I would take them into Ramparts and grind it out.
Ugh. What a relity check. Being that I quested almost exclusively I hadn't really tested my setup in a dungeon in a long while. I got spanked a bunch of times, my setup, strategies and macros need some help. Multi mob pulls, healing, wipe recovery etc etc all a big mess. I spanked Gargolmar twice, and gave up for now.
So, back to Azeroth to do Strath/Scholo quests and basically re-learn my team for dungeon running. The instances so far are way easier and the quest exp should easily get me to 62. At 62 I can hand in all those Fertile Spores I looted and get my Pally his Sporeggar shield, the Ench recipes, etc etc. Not to mention a whack of new quests open up at 62.
I think with some more practice and a little bit more exp/gear I should be a lot more comfortable in Outlands dungeons.
31 Hunter x4
31 Shaman
Working toward 4 x Shadowmeld + Prowl = PvP hilarity.
VC 19-21
BFD 22-24
RFK 25-28
SMGY 29-31
Instances have been really easy so far, except for latency issues which sometimes screws up my targeting and sends my pets to the wrong mobs if I try to go too quickly. I hit a wall of boredom in SMGY, so went to Desolace to do a little questing to break up the monotony. I am seeing Centaur Ears in my sleep now. Anyway, I'll hit the Library at 32 or 33 and continue the instance grind. It has been a lot of fun so far, and I can't forsee too many places in instances before outlands where I will have a problem.
Cleared heroic underbog( this instance is surprisingly easy, good starting point for anyone else looking to get into heroics along with SP ). Also cleared H Mech, H Botanica, and H Durnholde(this one has become much easier post 2.4-no lookouts now). I'm going to be working on H Magisters next I believe, seems to be the least difficult one left to do the more I think about it.
hunter22 druid20 mage20
fun combo
my brother is duoing pally/rogue
we group up every couple days for instances. I would five box with his guys, but I don't like meleeing much in pve.
My updates:
All BC non-heroics full cleared
Heroic Slave Pens, Mechanar, Durnholde (2/3, got called into a BT raid on my main so never got back to Epoch) have been downed.
Kara w/ PUGS - Up to Curator
Well, not sure if anyone reads these, but I thought it would be nice at least for myself to look back on. Got my new class combo of druid and 4 shammies through Gnomer. Started at lvl 25, dinged on Electrocutioner 6000. That was my most challenging run todate.
Have also cleared Deadmines (18 ), WC(20), and SFK(22) :thumbsup:
** adding **
RFK at 26/27. Cakewalk. Even the mind control boss wasn't bad.
** adding**
RFD (35?), all SM's clear. Don't remember the exact lvls. Will be trying Mauradon soon.
Shamans are currently 49, I have cleared WC RFC, RFK, SM Cath and Lib and ZF. Gona work on mara tomorrow.
I run with my 4 elemental shaman, and a friend who is leveling a prot pally (hes about my level for most of the instances.)
I have also found my way over here. First post :) .
I did RFC at 14 with just a few problems the first round. Later on I farmed it with no problems.
Secondly I did WC at 18, fully cleared all the way up to the big Elemental boss. He just hits to hard :) .
Will try SFK at 22.
Gear: Nothing special, just rewards and some blue drops.
I decided to take a break from gear farming to try a new challenge; completed Heroic Shattered Halls! The bosses (especially Kargath) took a few tries to get down, but it was a lot of fun! Alas, no Bladefist dropped; that would have been a great weapon for my Ironforge set.
I've been updating my progress post on page 3 of this thread. I'm almost done with the normals, and working my way through heroics.
