I didn't want to derail Nighthawk38's thread, so wanted to share my Ramps victory as well.
I decided to run a Prot Paladin, 2x Ret Pal, 1x DK, and a 1x Resto Shammy team. Took quite awhile to setup with ISBoxer, but it's running fairly well now.
The last boss is a pain, but what a rush when you finally win!
Also a word of thanks to Uulaa for the excellent ISBoxer tutorial...great stuff!
Congrats!
Multiple melees is still annoying me :(. I can never get them to line up properly... That is, I get the tank in position, and the melees are all out of range. So I move the tank and the melees dance around and half are out of range. Grar!
this is what the new use of Click to move + Interact with target is used for :DQuote:

Congrats Acerak !!!
Now onward to new challenges and more victories. :)

It's definitely a pain, but as long as you don't have high latency , have "Click to Move" turned on and "Interact with Target" (IWT) keybound on all slaves it's workable.Quote:

I have IWT turned on for all slaves, but when click to move is disabled she won't go rushing in.
Uulaa's guide explains in more detail how to set this up with ISBoxer.
Thanks for all the kinds words! On to Blood Furnace :)
Click to move is still buggy - at least for me. I will hit it and my alts will just keep running, really annoying, happens about 30% of the time.
I have used my alts to pull 90% of the time. Mostly through staggered castsequences or just straight out abilities. Ex. Pally's Hand of Reckoning, use on alt first, then when mob gets in range of everyone, switch back over to tank/main/whoever. Hunter's arcane shot (quick, can use while moving and can use /cleartarget to get hunter to stop attacking). Lock's non-DPS curses (weakness, elements, etc). Basically, just use an ability on your alt, and the mob will stand on top of your main, and bam, everyone is in range, one melee attack and the alts won't move, and you can move your main all you want.
90% of the time, if the mob is moving, the alts will do a square-dance around the mob if you use IWT. If the mob is standing still, IWT works normally (alts walk up and bash faces in). So, maybe if you screw up and pull with your main, stand still and then push IWT and your alts will probably walk up normally to the mob instead of dancing with it.
another things that happen with interact with target that annoys me is sometimes my main also starts running around and when that happens, the camera gets screwed and I don't know how to reset it beside /console reloadui or sometimes right clicking on another mob (basically it makes the camera be on the side and when you hit "w" it doesn't go straight but makes the character turn (like go fwd from where the twisted camera angle is - it's hard to explain but if you had the problem you'll recognize it - if there is a way to fix that faster it'd be great to know ?)
I used the keybinds to set SHIFT-[ and SHIFT-] to set my 2 favorite camera views. Then I use the normal [ and ] to go to those views. It lets me make my main and my alts all look at what I want to look at. It seems kinda snazzy, and I like it. I also turn off every camera auto-moving option in the settings (except the underwater one). Hope that helps.

Tried IWT but it was too buggy too many runaways. Sandwich method still works. Run through the mob with your main and do a 180 to face the mob on your main. the altls should now be attacking from behind.;) it's not annoying when you get used to it.
==main==> <==mob== <==alts==
You just have to spam IWT button to make sure they dont run off. If you see one running off, hit the button again and they will turn around.
Can do! I have an 80 feral druid, who I may well add him in when I feel like it.Quote:

On another note, I've now fully cleared Ramps(x5), BF, Slave Pens and Underbog. After wiping numerous times inititally in Ramps, I haven't wiped again and as I geared up it became almost too easy..my current rule of thumb is to run the current "at level" instance and not overgear/overlevel.
The team is 69 now, so I'll be attempting TBC heroics once I finish Netherstorm and SMV group quests. My hunch is I'm in for a whole new game at that point :)
