Thanks for posting the video's by the way.
I love to see boxers in action.
The quality was good, which is a huge bonus.

I thought you were trying as dot spec. I don't see a point in destro when they are basically shaman without totems.
Couple things, ya I was affliction - and on paper I still feel affliction has a stronger potential eventually. Destro is very similar to elemental except with a few really nice tricks: mass CC, not worrying about absorb/resist effects, and setting up portals 30 yards away to create a perfect kill shot on a spinning warrior. Also nether protection is a godsend against cleave comps. Overall it might be similar to elemental, but it actually feels very new and refreshing playing these guys in either spec. Lots of crap to watch with all the pet CC and fears to handle.
Totems? Ya you're absolutely right. I would never run destro without totems, but I'm running with the top pvp resto shaman on our server, and his single tremor is catching a lot of fears (surprisingly). Heroism also makes for some nasty destro dmg.
The real problem is spellpower. Until my gear gets better and I break ~2500 spellpower my dots are just barely healable by better teams. I'm at ~2050 right now and it just lacks the punch to create big healing pressure on the other team. I suppose it's very comparable to a single player warlock with 2000 spellpower, affliction is not really an option because their DOTs are so weak, so most locks go destro to rely on burst instead. But really well geared warlocks with 2700+ spellpower are starting to run affliction more these days, and if you've been hit by one... they hurt bad. I'm hoping the same will be true of my team. Hit 1800, get weapons and gear up for a month or so - then go affliction and melt people.

Guess I have played for so long that I know if I see a warrior I can expect pummel. I know to expect stealth, and if I see a missing gladius member. Its just a wild guess that its a stealth class. I guess my "awareness" is fine.
In retrospect I guess I should have just said thanks for the videos and nothing else. I guess....

I've found playing with the sound on is distracting -- I use the sound alerts from from spell alerts to alert me to resses, paladin bubble and grounding totems.

The only request I would add to this, is a download option.
I have every Aelli video I could find, along with 30 or so other multiboxing video's.
It's nice to have the video on your hard drive, so you can pause or whatever.
In general a downloaded movie is higher quality then youtube too.
Also, I am looking for one of the add ons you were using that let you know when spells,totems were ready. Or a list of your add ons.
Thanks!
Have to have the sound on! I normally kill the music since it gets repeatable after a while so no changes, I play my soundtracks normally so its a lot of music with just instruments going. Nice to see more videos, really enjoy the videos you guys get going, and the better the quality the more enjoyable they are.
