Sam DeathWalker 5.4 28 Box SOLO of Galleon

I guess you have to ask yourself this. What's more impressive, 5 locks killing a world boss in 10 minutes, or 28 killing it in 5.

Sam DeathWalker isn't saying he's the most impressive though - well, I'm pretty sure he's said that at some point, but I digress.

They are actually both pretty impressive. I think it's a whole different level of amazing - what those 5 locks did though. They give hope to those of us who are unwilling or unable to box a larger group. He, gives hope to the common 5 boxer.

Sam DeathWalker on the other hand, is just taking a different approach with a larger group. I applaud him for posting videos, and keeping things interesting.

I do think a skilled 5 boxer could wipe out a 25-40 man boxer without question. I know I've been wiped by 1 guy on my 5 guys plenty of times. Just takes a wrong keypress, or bad timing, or technical issue and you're done for. I doubt it could happen every time, but if the boxer waited for the right time - every time, it could be ugly.

DPS specs have a priority order for optimal performance, developed and tested by the smartest fucks in WoW. Claiming otherwise is like saying the moon doesn't exist.

That is very true. I am coming to agree with you that my dps is lacking (50,000 dps), even though I had close to 100percent uptime on pyroblast and mage bomb. Still I got the job done, if I optimize for Nalak then I am less effective in pvp or for other encounters. But l will agree my dps is poor. But again because no one uploads to world of logs I have nothing to compare to as far as other boxers go, of course a single boxer is going to have more dps then I will (still they should not have 5 or 10 times more though).

Still if you are using fall through cast sequence macros that’s questionable.

Maybe I will do a macro to maximize dps on a target dummy just to show that longer step ones are superior.

there are plenty of classes/specs who can perform on par if not better with your mages

But I have a real tank, real healers and real dps, not 2^nd best or 3^rd best.

time devoted does not equal skill in my book, to get 540 ilevel you have to do harder content than you have to do for ilevel 510

---

So any high end raider is more skillful then you are?

So you invented multiboxing? -_-

---

Well people did have two computers and move from keyboard to keyboard to have two characters in the game under their control but I was the first to hook two computers to one keyboard so in a way ya I did invent multiboxing with one keyboard.

So because people haven't recorded anything or recorded logs, you just assume they are talking out of their asses? Well not everyone feels the need to get confirmation from the community and need to see proof to be credible.

My apologies if I am skeptical of claims without any proof at all to back them up.

A timely topic: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/10262756764 I am pulling 50K on my mages, not as bad as I thought. They are talking 100k in timeless, I'm doing about 1/2 and that's with moving HIT to CRIT so my gear is good for pve and pvp.

I was pulling 45k dps, in LFR, by spamming wrath on my ret pally in 515 gear... People in timeless gear should be pulling at least 75-80k dps.

---

Sounds about right.

On nalak, you were pulling 49k on 1 mage, and 35 to 43k on the majority of your dps. And that is damage that people were doing 2 years ago without any problem, 100 ilvls lower. It's absolutely crap and horrendous damage. Really, you can try to justify your damage with links to whatever post, but the reality is that if you execute a basic rotation, that you 'd pull way more, at least double, in ilvl 510.

There are multiple reasons, but the main reason is that I believe that you don't have a basic understanding of the classes that you play.

Your paladin tank for example is not using crusader strike (single target) nor hammer of the righteous (aoe). Not on your nalak log and not on your galleon log. While you use the glyph for it on your tank. Crusarder strike and HoftR are main abilities for survivability, since they generate 1 holy power every 4.5s (minus haste), which in turn keeps up shield of the righteous, which is 40% dmg mitigation. That is the reason why prot paladins stack haste, since that increases holy power generation, and thus the uptime of shield of the righteous. You have basically no haste and you don't use a basic ability.

Your mages use nether tempest, while the highest dmg is currently living bomb. The % that individual abilities do compared to your total damage are totally out of line of what they are supposed to be. And you still use arcane explosion on a single target boss like nalak.

And I can go on and on and on ...

So yeah, you might do 'epic preparation', but my guess is that you prepared (see the d) based on wotlk guides.

Does anyone else smell that? This thread is well beyond its expiration date.

I would say there is enough evidence on the table at the present time to show that Sam is not the most powerful multiboxer as he claims to be. While it's nice that he's finally trying to actually do something with his 28-man team this expansion, it could really be shared without all the arrogance and inaccurate self-praise.

Sorry Sam, maybe next expansion!

PS - I'm withdrawing my proposal - NO DEAL!
