It's been a while... Quad Putracide any one?

[Nejcha]

Like i said, easy raid i don't want to be carried, i want to complete them first myself. Even if that means i'm going a bit slower.

The main thing i'll have to learn is that i don't have to take care of/be responsible for the whole raid group, while i have to do that in hc's.

You have the right attitude for it for sure!

One of the main things is that you are 40%, 50%, 75%, 90%, even 100% of the raid. You (unless you're that 100%) have other people depending on you. Running at ten times the willpower and focus the rest of the people in the raid have and not making excuses for you self while raiding is key. I was in a run the other night with my shamans and I was proud of my dps, and one of the tanks on vent goes "we kinda expect you to do that, it isn't so amazing when we run with you so much." After posting on here I realize my raiders are fairly desensitized to the my mutliboxing antics. Give some folks a few months of raiding with you and the'll forget you have a harder job then them : P

Nejcha, that was very enjoyable thanks for posting it. I have not played for over a month and looking at this makes me itch to go back to it....

I have to /bow to you. I have done the gearups, hdung farming, but I haven't done little to anything associated with raiding on the teams I have cause the monogamers don't take multis seriously. My hats off to you again for getting pugs to go with you, im still all "stuck up" with pugs i guess. learn from the pros i suppose

[DrChaos]

Nejcha, forgive me if im wrong but in your post you said, "shakes her cane".... are you a boxing female? if so, can I have YOUR babies?

A female, wow gamer, multiboxer, AND is polite..

[Nejcha]

AND is polite..

Thats untrue you take that back!

the more I watch this video and others the more I want to start boxing in my raids so I'm considering putting my low lv teams on hold and assembling the random 70s and 80s I already have into a mixed pve team. My priest and pally are already well geared and ready to go and I could have a lock, hunter, and shaman to 80 in a week or two if I worked at it.

The only drawback is I like to lv a full team from scratch so as they lv I can find the best way to play them together, but if I Frankenstein a team together that’s already 70+ I have a ton my abilities to string together as instead of working with them one or two at a time.

Sitting here bored on duty thinking of all the possible combinations and trying to come up with the best answer is probably 60% of the fun for me.

Just wanted to post a reply I had to a PM I got from Nejcha (by the way, her PM was great and just sought clarification on my earlier post):

Nejcha,

Wow, I very much appreciate the thoughtful PM.

I definitely don't deserve the "Mr." in "Mr. Mecurio" (though it is kind of cute now) and I'm not sure I deserve you sending me a PM to address my questions/issues. But thanks anyway.

So... here's where I am:
My original thought when I read your post was that you got a TON of very well-deserved praise for you accomplishments and that from my experiences I just wanted to present a bit of critique, or the downside (if small) of what you were doing. That's why I wrote the post as I did - a confusing "bit of praise - lots of critique - bit of praise" post.

I figured that after running ICC10 in PuGs over 40 times in a month that I knew how it should be done and what raid leaders expected. With that as background I thought there are some constraints you put on the raid that I wanted to discuss.

What you are helping me to figure out is that though I DO very much know what PuG raid leaders expect, I may NOT know how it should be done. I assumed that in 40 runs if there were alternate viable ways to do things that some of the 360 people (40 runs * 9 other people per) would have suggested them. With that big a sample size, I thought I could reasonably assume I knew all the ins and outs, so could speak with authority.

So here are some amazing facts you are helping me to learn that I wouldn't have believed a week ago based on my prior experiences in ICC:

• The first five bosses in ICC can be solo-healed
• You can bring in four DPS toons that all do 7K+ DPS
• You can bring in random people in a PuG who can perform to a very high level even with an "odd" composition
• You don't need even a single physical damage DPS in ICC (BTW, I still don't understand how this is possible with the Reanimated Adherants in Lady, but I have been convinced that I ought to believe you until proven otherwise )

One week ago these were all completely out-of-the-box for me and had never been even mentioned by any of the other 360 people I've raided with.

So admittedly, I was ignorant earlier and I appologize if my original post came off as crass. If I had known any or all of these things beforehand my post would have been different.

Of course, I would still caution most boxers reading about your exploits that you are very unique in skill and experience and we all have quite a ways to go before we can think about replicating your accomplishments, but you have definitely opened our eyes to what is possible in our little hobby.

Thank you.

Thats untrue you take that back!

ROFL. only if i must....

Very very impressive and the fact you do this with a regular group of semi-organized pugs is incredible. I thought some of Niley's achievments where impressive but yours show sheer perserverence and determination.

I will actually have to login to my Youtube Account and subscribe to your movies. I would love to know more about your hardware setup/software setup.

I love hardware boxing also, I still have a mountian of ps2 cables and mice that all link into the same dongles and all my vetra kvm/switch stuff in my garage. Sadly the amount of heat generated and the space 5 computers/monitors/mounts took up as well as having two young children that love to find cables was just to much so I now use a single machine and software box. I do miss 'grabbing a mouse' and just controlling one character though, nothing can really beat that.

Got Putricide to phase 3 last night with me on 4 shams:P Hoping to down him Sunday ^^

Going with the beginning of Nejcha's thread if you want to raid as a multi-boxer you have to take the initiative. I made a 10man guild that = Me x4 + my g/f + a coworker + 4 WoW friends .

There is another guild that we run 25mans with that wouldn't let me multi-box. Last week on rotface after a wipe a few dps left and the raid leader was going to call it. I was like uh no more lawls! We downed it with me 3 boxing, so now I think they're down for letting me box 25mans too

I rotated 2 of my shams in 25man gotta get the other 2 in to balance out the Gear, but currently I have 2 Shams at 5500GS and the other 2 Between mid 5300-low 5400
