Fastest Completions Summary Thread

This thread is to document the fastest completions* for Classic WoW content (mainly common farms in dungeon/raid instances which do not necessarily mean "full clears"). Most of it will likely be for 5boxers but will include 10boxes and higher if there is interest.

Please post submissions to the end of this thread and please denote with each submission:

• Category: Submission should denote if it is for "Team Only Buffs" or "Free-For-All" category and
• Consumables: Submissions should list consumables leveraged.

Strat Live from servitor entrance, including Canonmaster, excluding Timmy:

23:55 PaMMMP : Group buffs only; No consumables; from Fuii;

Scholo Full runs:

32:28 PaMMMP - Group buffs only; No Kirtonos/Jandice; from Fuii;

Scholo Dark Rune runs:

7:22min PaMMMPr - tribute buffs; from Fuii;

DM:E runs:

12:41min PaMMMPr - group buffs only - bigger pulls, no Lethtendris; from Fuii;

DM:N runs:

12:53min WHMLP - group buffs only - full tribute (bypass many mobs); from Dilb;
22:18min PaMMMPr - group buffs only - full tribute (killing more mob packs); from Fuii;

Other run Categories?

(Looking for recommendations on categories).

===============================================
This thread is to document the fastest completions* for Classic WoW content (mainly dungeon/raid instances). Most of it will likely be for 5boxers but will include 10boxes and higher if there is interest.

Please post submissions to the end of this thread.

Please post any thoughts on rules or parameters to the thread. Initial thoughts discussed on the ISboxer Discord were that folk should denote with each submission:

• Category: Submission should denote if it is for "Team Only Buffs" or "Free-For-All" category and
• Consumables: Submissions should list consumables leveraged.

Note that you aren't limited to your own submissions. If you find a well documented run on youtube and can review it to determine if outside buffs &/or consumables are leveraged then we will include those (though they may be marked as tentative or unverified).

Thanks for any/all who participate (this hopefully will be fun) ;-)

*Note: Not everything will be full clears.... Partial content that is typically farmed (like Rune farming completions and/or DME farms etc will be included) if people submit. Content run commonly will be given higher priority but niche and/or uncommon farms may be included also (may be put toward the bottom of the list).

Also Reserved (end of reservations).

Guess will make the start. :)

Lovely! Thanks for starting it off Fuii.
I'm looking forward to a diverse list.

Is this thread for end-level dungeons with all-60s primarily, or is also a level-appropriate Scalert Monastery Cathedral run applicable etc. ?
I mean, for reference/comparison between teams if nothing else?

It was envisioned for at cap end game farming runs by completed groups (5box, 10box, etc). For major farming areas the goal was to see which team compositions were the fastest overall and to have benchmarks for other team compositions (like 4MP vs Tank3MP vs 5S vs 4W+healer, etc).

My gut is that it would make more sense to have a different thread for leveling to cap... That being said for lower level dungeons the better metric may be XP/hour than completion times.

With that in mind I went ahead and started the following thread:

https://www.dual-boxing.com/threads/...summary-thread

Likely there are multiple examples buried in these forums and youtube etc. I don't have time to go find them all but if people post them to the end of that thread (if prior to cap) and to this thread (for cap) I will do my utmost to keep both summaries at the tops of the threads up-to-date and organized. If/when I have time I will also search for some things to add but right now I don't.

Fastest strat live I've done is 19 min as 4x frost mage, 1x priest. Though I did not do this alone. Some one else was playing the priest. Biggest time save was him looting while I was drinking. We did all bosses (Hearthsinger Forresten, The Unforgiven, Timmy, Cannon Master, Galford, Balnazzar). No consumes.

When I do it solo as 4 or 5 mages it usually takes me about 30 min, and I skip Balnazzar. Note sure what my fastest is solo.

DM:E: 12:41min PaMMMPr - group buffs only - bigger pulls, no Lethtendris

Scholo Dark Rune-run: 7:22min PaMMMPr - tribute buffs

DM:N 22:18min PaMMMPr - group buffs only - full tribute

Scholo full run: 32:28min PaMMMPr - group buffs only - no Kirtonos/Jandice

Fuii- when you do ground AOE spells and your bring up the 4 little windows, how are you doing that???

I'm calling it temp vfx, which I just added recently and still experiement with it; looking for scenarios where it's beneficial.

Basically those are just normal VFX windows, which are created for specific actions, last a few seconds (2s for flamestrike) and then are getting destroyed again.

ISBoxer has a similar feature built into the "Send Next Click"-action, though that's not that great if all mages are using it at the same time (flickering/overlapping).
There's actually a second temp vfx visible in the video; the priests cast bar that's fading in/out while tossing out group heal/dedicated tank heal:

same here, if i swap to one of the warriors while shaman is drinking his lvl 45 crap water i can barely make it below 20 minutes ...it really saves 2-3 minutes when not looting on the shaman :) also have low hp warriors eat the random food you get while shaman is drinking

oh and if your get to do the t0,5 boss there aswell...kill the shield guy first

That is one thing Warrior tanks have over Paladin tanks though both my Paladin and Fuii's Paladin (I believe after watching his videos) both drink less often and drink for less time than the rest of the team when they do drink so they are still decent options for master looter for a ranged caster team. On a related note, for those that haven't done it yet, I highly recommend you implement the fast looting tips that are linked on the 'Info' tab of the 'Classic WoW Planning' spreadsheet... It can allow you to loot even hundreds of mobs very quickly (in my case I just spin my mousewheel and just mouse over targets and it grabs everything really fast).

That is very cool!

Thanks to Wep and his Wep-A-Mole examples I found you can do something similar with TellMeWhen (TMW). I use it to track when my Priest is casting non-instant heals/shields and also to track when my Warlocks are casting/channeling. I like the way it visually "tells me when" my Warlocks are kicked or otherwise interrupted when HellFiring and the following is an example:

https://i.gyazo.com/5cbd7172c1a9d86b...2b882d6fb1.png

https://i.gyazo.com/5cbd7172c1a9d86b...2b882d6fb1.png

That was in my early testing and I have it a little snazzier now from a sizing/spacing perspective but it gives the general idea. I did find that from my foreground client TMW cannot detect when Rain of Fire is being cast/channeled by clients in the background though that is the only spell so far I have found that problem on (it does track it OK on the actual client in the background and I was actually thinking of doing a temp VFX for that but decided it wasn't worth it for me).

Fuii's solution may be better for some scenarios but at least this gives non-ISboxer multi-boxers a way to achieve similar capability (and even for ISboxer users it may be a decent option for those that would prefer to do it in an addon instead of ISboxer.

I have it on the priest, and the first mage. Apparently they increased the drop rate of it.. but I got them both before that! :(
