PvE Progress

I just got into multi-boxing recently (specifically 2-boxing) after clicking a link to these forums from another forums where I was reading about leveling and twinking.

My characters are Avrana and Avranu both female undead warlocks.
One is specced demonology and uses the voidwalker to tank and the other is specced affliction and uses an imp for some more dps and the stam buff.

Instances so far:

WC - only partial clear at lvl 22

That's the fraps I have of it. While the actual vid is quickly put together, it still shows how I did it.

A minor update, still running library and getting better at it. but had a few bad runs with archmage Doan. It seems I was lucky my first time and resisted the fire nova. because the next time I was in there I remember to run but wasnt far enough away and I think it also crit because it 1 shot 3 of my characters, including my main. What I ended up doing was mouse moving one of the characters aroudn kitting him with frost shock (lol) inbetween getting silenced. When I figured I could live through this I ankh'ed on my main and dropped a fire totem then healed myself and continued kiting with the alt (cause he had high agro at this point) So I basically dealt the last 1k hp he had with 2 fire totems and a frost shock lol, but didnt wipe though, muahaha.

A similar thing happened the 3rd time but only 2 chars died and it wasnt my main so it was easier to finish off. The 4th time I sucesfuly dodged it on all chars but one but I survived it. What I did this time was actually use my main as a 'tank' because that is how ive been gearing him as i move along because having one char that can take a few hits is becoming more important (so he has like 500 more armor and 500 more hp but 600less mp than the minions do) so what I did was I left my alts in the doorway (since range is good from there) dropped all my buffing totems then mouseclicked a LB to start the fight on my main then ran up to him and earthsocked to spike threat. Then I proceeded to burn him down teh usualy way keeping his nasty arcane explosion away and when he stopped to nova i hit Q to sidestep all my alts out of the doorway (LOS) and ran my main in that direction. I ate 700dmg on my main but that was easily fixed by 5x healing waves since i made it to my alts. I did have some issues getting them back in los dut that was because I panicked and hit the key to turn them so 1 got stuck on the wall and I had to tweak the others to make them face the right way. I also was able to keep the aoe silence of my guys most of the time. allowing for a much faster and cleaner kill. Just need to polish off my strat and he will become ezmode like every other boss before him :)

I was working on frapsing this but it was the one where i total wiped and i forgot to do it after that lol. So next time ill get it for sure.
*edit* it was late and I didnt think it would be so wall-o-textish, and fixed some typos.

Ow, that hurt to read.

But as for doan what I found worked very well was to have my 4 clones stand just outside the door. I would move in to the center of the room and lightning bolt -> frost shock, then start in with the rest of my group.

When he goes immune I run out and use my spread out macro to get my clones out of line of sight. After the fire nova I use my "/follow" macro to pull my guys back in line of sight and finish him off.

must have hurt too much to read at all then because that is what I said :)

I guess it was a bit too much text. ill fix it in the morning lol.

*edit* and the problem was one guy was stuck behind the wall in the hallway, so only way the /follow would work is if I dragged Doan into my group, which defeats the prupose of tanking him away from them :)

Level 52 - Sunken Temple

All the trash mobs were low leveled. Able to go in and just AOE a group of mobs at a time.

Surprise by the 2 dragons circling the center that appear after you kill one of the boss because I didn't know that little info.

The Egg of Hakar quest was interesting. Ran OOM, wiped, then killed the mini-boss. In hindsight, I probably should've just froze all extra mobs instead of AOEing until I took out the 4 flames, then AOE them at once.

"Shade of Eranikus" sucks. I wiped about 6 times, gave up, swapped one of the mages for a 64 warlock, kill him. Looted the quest item. Cleared again the next night, tried the suggestions found here:

I still wiped, got annoyed and was tired, so I swapped out a different mage for my 64 warlock, killed then looted.

So at 52, all the trash is easy, the mini-bosses are easy, Avatar of Hakkar (egg quest) would've been easy if I conserved my mana during the activation. Shade of Eranikus... sucks. I either need more skills or levels with my current group.

Sunken Temple was not kind to my group of 5 shaman, lol.

With my 4 hunters (2 beast, 2 marks):
Scarlet Monastery:Graveyard clear @ lvl31
Scarlet Monastery:Library easy clear @lvl31-32

Can't quest too easily in STV due to bored lvl 70's.

5 shamans:
RFC: full clear at lvl 14, first runs where difficult, after that it was easy
WC: full clear at 20, too easy thanks to healing stream totems
SFK: full clear at 21, only arugal was a little difficult
BFD: full clear at 23, again very easy, but i really hate this instance

Finished Mara today. Wiped on my first attempt at the princess, as I forgot to use shadow protection and fear ward. The second attempt went off without a hitch. All of the other bosses were easy. I had more troubles with bad pulls than with the bosses, as I had never run Maraudon before. I'll be running Sunken Temple next; I've run it before, but only with a group of 70s helping me, so I wasn't paying much attention.

Characters: 1 holy priest, 4 demo locks
Level: 45 at start, dinged 47 on my Princess run

SM:Armory cleared all the way to Herod with 0 wipes and only 2 bad pulls which resulted in a few pet deaths.

Needless to say Herod absolutely pwned our faces @lvl 33. I think I'll wait a couple more levels to try him again.

Did a little SM:Cathedral, but got suddenly bored and logged out.
