Are you 80 yet? I am curious how the heroics are going! I have noticed now that my tank overgears heroics that I could definitely function without a healer on trash, but I dont know about bosses. So post a movie already! I'm lookin at you Fury and Zerocool!
edit: needs more !
hahah, sorry, I have been lacking with my leveling (all our 79) and are on their way to 80, I will Hopefully have all my videos up and running and new ones along with them. Last one I can record before I start hitting is Halls of Lighting (still kicking myself because I didn't have Fraps on when I cleared it)...
Been talking to Fury, and he is already hitting the Heroics side and last he said is that it was difficult this far (doesn't mean it's not doable, I think it just takes a little adjusting).
So those videos will be coming soonish... lol
My dk teams is 80 but I haven't really given any thought to PVE with them. They wreck stuff in WG and I've wiped and camped city raids with them.Quote:

I think if you took 5 of my "main" tank you could easily do some bosses in heroics. That frost guy in Drak is super easy if you time your heals right. Looking forward to some videos!Quote:

Forums are slow, I is bored. Furystrike, please advise.
Mine are 71 right now, likely to hit 72 tonight. Be a week or two before I get to heroics as I'll need to churn out a blacksmith and some ore to gear out. I'm really looking forward to seeing what I can add to this DK niche. I've done the solo thing on my belf DK so I'm pretty familiar with self healing and the class, I just need to see what transfers to 5 and multiboxing.
Do you gear and spec like a tank or dps? My instinct tells me to go the tank route on all 5 so that I can bounce aggro, but I wonder how the dps scales versus the mitigation. I.e. are you better doing way more damage and taking more or doing less damage and therefore healing but taking less. When I was soloing with my DK fights where all about endurance. Depending on the fight my dps might be as low as 900, but I could generate enough self healing to never go down. I also did this without blood aura, so I'm looking forward to the stacking aspect of that to make things even better.
Multibocks, if you can't tell, I'm bored at work as well.

bosses in heroics hit very very hard, its very tough to keep all the DKs alive without some really good tanking gear only healing themselves every 30seconds. IMO 4 DKs and a healer would be fine.
Lol, yes, go the tank route. Having one DPS is a bad thing because that person is going to at some point take the aggro and get itself killed, also, for AOE bosses, if that person is DPS speced/geared, that person is going to take a lot of damage, and you are going to have to Burn CD's to keep that said toon alive rather than keeping the CD's for the whole group.
The hardest boss I have ever fought is the 3rd boss in Halls of Lightning. And it took everyone second of my attention to all my CD's while bouncing the aggro around as much as possible, while timing Tap, Shield, Vampiric, IBF and making sure that I don't get the OWE so random BS (boss turns into several lighting bawls, then chases you around and the dot the boss puts on you does not go off and throw you right into them right after you just used Tap to get the health back up.
I really don't see Heroics being as much as a problem as I thought. I've cleared all the Dungeons a few levels lower than the "advised" level, and didn't have a problem. I know I died a lot, but that was just do to me learning the area, and knowing when the boss was going to do something and me learning how to counter it and not die at the same time. My gear was never right for the dungeon, my specs were a mess and I still managed to clear them. All my macros have changed and made things easier on me, so it just take a lot of trial and error to get what you want. While I will still advise to max out defense as quickly as possible, you don't have to if you don't want too. Just have enough HP to take the beating you are about to receive, lol.
Do you plan on making a guide of some sort Zero? Like gear guide or an strat guide for the instances? Or is that on a need to know basis, of which, only you need to know. :)
It will be whatever anyone wants it to be. It's going to have everything I think it needs to help explain DK Boxing to others.Quote:

Specs, Strats, Gear, Setups (IE, Innerspace, Keyclone), A mix of Castsequences vs multiple buttons. Really, just a good run down on everything. Even thought about redoing videos and having a voice over with it to better explain and so forth. I know I sometimes give a little tid bit of info, but some times it helps when someone is giving you a video/text/speech explaining in detail what is going on and why.
Also, whatever tidbits anyone can give will make it better. I get random messages, tells, AIMS, email/whatever asking certain things, and while I have no problem in answering any question people ask me, it might just be easier to have a place where I can look and answer, or others can answer and we get more than one set of eyes looking at it.
Of course none of it will be Mine is better than His, or anything, I Don't need a flaming/epennis stroking fest. But I would like to have different views/videos to back it up to better show others rather than saying "One time, at band camp...." and everyone jumping on the bandwagon and getting disapointed like a fat kid who found out twinkies were getting nerfed.
