How's Everyone Progressing so Far and What's Your Group Comp?

Has the nerf to raids getting too much XP in Raids been implemented on Live yet?

My understanding was that they announced a hotfix to reduce the XP in raids about 21 hours ago but I don't know if the fix went in immediately (or if there was a delay). The announcement was here:

Did you ever get the benefits of the 10 man raid XP before the hotfix and did you notice the difference after?

More discussion on the XP before/after and timing should be here:

The hotfix was applied there and done live without a restart being required.

Void is there a multiboxing guild on Sulfuras?

Not specifically for multiboxing but i did run into another 5 boxer and we joined the same guild.

I'm only lvl 17 atm but id be willing to help out any other MBers to start up and we could make a new guild.

Nice reading! Im starting this comp myself as a first time multiboxer. Are you driving from the tank?

Do you have any tips for this setup? Best keybinds, macros, rotations etc?

I drive from the healer. Just feels more comfortable that way to me personally.

As for rotation i have a simple castsequence to charge then rend. One warrior casts Thunder clap while the others cast Heroic strike. Once i hit 18 and get rank 2 of thunder clap i may switch them all to use it. That is basically it for warriors.

Shaman is click healing with healbot addon. throw down totems and play green bar wack a mole with healing wave.

With Merc being much higher level it would be interesting to hear his AOE madness.

I am curious, how do you think a hunter would be in this group comp?

Ah OK. I wasn't sure if the clients had to get a fix at all and if not restarting the clients could prolong it.

I am still curious if was able to experience it both ways and if he noticed the change.

I have been leveling a Warrior, 3x Mages and a Priest. I am considering switching the 3 mages for 2 warriors and a paladin and/or 1war, 1 rogue 1 paladin.

I really like having the endless supply of potions too, but not sure if i should further mesh things by leaving 1 mage in the mix. I was curious if anyone had experience with rogues in a group comp for classic so far?

I'm setup to drive from both perspectives. In general I prefer the tank POV, but there are times where there is just too much shit going on as a healer to really effectively heal/play the healer well and in those cases I drive with the healer.

Basically, if the content is "easy" you get far more mileage out of the warrior. If its "hard" you might need to focus on doing well with the healer.

Couple pointers, I recommend you setup your basic attack button to be JUST an assist/IWT with a /startattack macro. So like, in my case, use this as "1", my DPS rotation is then shift+1. The reason imo is this is the most comfortable way to spam to switch targets, WITHOUT blowing all your rage when you want to save it for stuff like sweeping strikes.

I'd also get a weak aura setup, and create rage counters for all your warriors so you can see quickly and efficiently what everyones rage is at. Basically what I do is, charge in, pop sweeping strikes, stance swap to zerker, and whirlwind. Before I got WW though, you had to be more more conscious of your rotation because you could easily blow your rage and never get SS up.

Your healer needs an IWT also, that is the face/step back IWT, IMHO. This means that when you enter combat, they stop moving away from the group, which is a big help for mobs that kick healers. I use this all in conjunction with the EMA mod with strobing set on, but set to pause in combat. Also, get your priest a wand ASAP, and give them a wand attack macro that looks like this. /castsequence [exists] !shoot,!shoot
That macro will keep them shooting. Just be-careful, wands are crazy good single target DPS early and you can and will pull agro early on with it

Enter dungeon -> kill -> reset -> repeat. In my personal opinion any minute spent outside a dungeon is wasted. I do zero quests and I vendor everything. In the time that I walk to the AH and back I can do 2 dungeon runs and make more gold and XP.

I like your approach :-) How do you expect to fare at max level dungeons? Do you think 4 mages + priest will be viable from a pre-raid BIS farming perspective?

It depends on the boss, but I will get someone to tank for me once in a while if needed. One good friend plays a druid and the other plays a warrior.

I haven't been very impressed with locks so far.. no aoe yet but did clear the trash np all the way to the first boss in RFC.. but the first boss ate my voidwalkers for breakfast - this was at level 15.

Have swapped to an Undead team of Warrior tank, Priest healer, x2 Mages and a Warlock.. killing things far faster now.

Big thumbs up to Dalo - that clique heal vid was awesome.. can heal from the main now
