[Link updated!] Beeq - 5 mages vs. 15 Cataclysm dungeon bosses

[Toned]

I have stepped in to a Heroic and its just more healing intense then anything else bosses dont change that much and give it a few month the Heroics will be nerfed like they did in WotLK I say WotLK was harder then cata anyday

WOTLK heroics were 5 boxable day 1

I agree. I was doing heroics immediately. I am getting my ass kicked now in cata.

despite the dissing, I'm quite happy to take down bosses in 81-84 instances without any healing or proper tanking.

moved to heroics now for trash farming, bop sharding, tiger skinning and so on. The Lost City of the Tol'Vir trash around 2 bosses are quite easy to burst with proper cc, last run earned the team around 10k gold and some rep required for head and shoulder stuff.

In theory it could be possible to ping pong the threat, and whichever mage has it, pops up mirror images so the team can dps all out "without threat". Certainly in current gear there is and will be mana issues, and the images, when popped x5 at once, are up only for 30 seconds, so the bosses better be dead in 30 seconds without rotating the images.

That is quite easily in non-heroics, as you can see, though I can nuke heroic bosses only to 50% when the 30 seconds is gone, there's no way to finish them at the moment.

Perfect Mirror Image rotation would hold the boss 150 seconds, but I think that'd be impossible to handle when the threats changes between mages.

So no orbs for me, however I'm happy with the team and what it can achieve.

I wasn't trying to diss you. I was just stating the facts that you were out gearing / out leveling the content in the videos. Either way cloth tanks with no healers is pretty cool. People were under the impression that they were going to faceroll through cata dungeons. Was the only reason I pointed out that you were 85 in lower dungeons.

Though, actually I boxed BrC at 81, and Vortex Pinnacle at 84 if that counts. Adding the fact that I leveled from 84 to 85 in VP

Stacking Arcane Power buffs gives big crits but they will OOM fast.

great video, it's great to see people doing things that weren't laid out and preplanned by blizzard. the fact that some jealous RPnerd rated this thread 1 star is quite hilarious. hope to see more... more trash clearing too, thats just as fun to see when it's being done by a nontraditional group.

So I remembered right and found the screenshots from first kills, isn't too pretty though

Thanks for your kind words This video has been posted to these forums already but guess I could throw the link again, here you'll see how I tank non-sheepable trash packs in The Vortex Pinnacle with Ring of Frost rotation

ah yeah, ring of frost is a hell of a tool for trash. still takes a lot of coordination, especially with all the knockbacks.

you going to do any arenas this season?
