just thought id share my contribution to the boxing phenom. id feel like a failure as a boxer without some hate mail.
PS, for those of you wondering about the legality of boxing in WAR.. its fine. ive been petitioned a dozen times already and spoken with 4 different CSR's, who all said its perfectly fine after i responded on each toon to prove i wasnt botting.
There is a post there that says you are leveling your characters to sell. This is the thing I hate most people asking me in WoW if I'm leveling my characters to sell. It would fell like cutting off one of my arms and selling it to me.
Are you seriously try to PvP in endgame with 3 BW? If the opposite team is organized well (focus (aoe) fire) do you have any chance to survive long enough? On random PvP encounters it might be well of course.
I am asking cause I thought about trying with 2 BWs.
Sorcerers are going to enjoy nuking those BWs with their spell that does AoE around the target. Hope you have good spread out macros.Quote:

Yes, I think so too. Thats why I made 2 different characters (tank + dd) just for leveling and having oppurtunities on lvl 40 when I play them solo probably.
3 bright wizards and a rune priest. my runepriests name is slightly different from the three BW's, so the poster obviously wasnt aware he was part of the setup.. despite the fact that hes always with them and theyre clearly /following the runepriest. not the brightest kid. i can easily keep up with damage unless i cop an assist train or some pretty heavy focus fire.. but anyone dies in that case. 3 instacast AoE roots must get frustrating for melee trains trying to take me down. when i get my runepriests AoE snare/knockback in a couple levels it will be even nicer.
and yes. ive been doing quite well in scenarios , sieges and world PvP. the problem with your scenario of sorceress AoEing me is that 1: they have to come within range of my bright wizards to do that.. and 2: AoE range is 20 yards shorter than DoT/Nuke range. melees are a much bigger problem than casters. sorcerers/witch elves and even healers die in one set of dots (unless they have a morale heal up).
Congrats on pissing off the Great Unwashed. May you succeed beyond your wildest dreams...no better revenge than success. ;)
thanks :)
will post some scenario videos soon. i have some great footage on my HDD but been having too much fun killing to put something together.
I am curious to know how you run up the sieges? Some castles a really difficult to run up with the long follow distance :-) Moving the alts individually? If there are players defending the castle you might lose some seconds, arent you?
What do you do if eg in the lava scenario (tier 3) your runepriest gets kicked in the lava? How to get your guys together again if the fight moves on to another place?
Well at least knockbacks doesnt break follow and facing is no issue.
Are you boxing with 3 computers or are you running 2 accounts (at least) on one computer? If you are running 2 accounts on one computer, what are you using for key passing? If it is HKN, can you post your script?
this is where AoE's become useful. you dont have to run up the ramp, you only have to position yourself at the base, in the corner, and target people that move within your field of view at the top of the ramp (which they always do).Quote:

ill post videos at some point. you will see how i set things up and deal with positioning.
im using HKN on multiple PC's. unfortunately i havent found a software solution that allows you to broadcast to clients on one PC without pulling the window into focus. i tried running two accounts on my notebook and its just not playable having to wait 2 seconds every time you hit a key for the windows to switch.Quote:

keyclone tells me support for WAR is on his list of things-to-do, though.. but its not a high priority since he hasnt seen much demand. so, if anyone is interested in WAR keyclone support, let him know :) the more people that want it the higher priority it will get, i assume.
With 4 ranged classes you of course wont die that often (unless you are being overrun and all die). But what do you do when it happens that only 1 or 2 of your character dies? Eg I could play quite good with tank and the dd parked a little bit behind, especially because of the guard buff. But if only one dies things get complicated: to fight on one screen and to run back to the fight on the other screen.
if one of my BW's dies its quite easy to aoe root, back up a bit and rez him. rez casts surprisingly fast.
if the runepriest dies, i pretty much just suicide bomb the BW's and take out as many squishies as i can before they die. i often fill the extra 2 spots in my group with some guildmates (archmage and shadow warrior) and its amazing how survivable the group can be. weve had big PvP fights where ive ressurrected and healed up characters in the group 4-5 times during combat, and kept them fighting. in a couple of levels my runepriest gets an AoE knockback that, with tactic, adds a 10 second 40% snare. that spell will be absolute gold combined with 3 roots. melees wont even touch me. casters die so fast to my focus fire that theyre really not much of a threat (though this may change at higher level, fighting organised guilds that know how to /assist train).. but everyone dies to the assist train.
the only time i really die in scenarios is when the second group im working with sucks and i get steam rolled by 10 people.
Ahahahahahaha!Quote:
It's annoying!
These multiboxers are just farming as they are always 'crap' at the pvp (well in WOW anyways).
