Hi Simpletom,
I filmed a quick video, although sloppy of Heroic Slave Pens using 3 Hunters a Priest and the Pally tank.
Slave Pens Heroic - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSYFd2aeIhk Pally, 3 Hunters, Priest.
Since the announcement, I have not used any software or hardware assistance. Only a couple of mods and manually do everything (as you can see in the video) one screen and one action at a time. I leveled every team in instances, except for the bis quests for gear. Playing this way with no software reminds me of before ISBoxer became popular and doing heroics like this back in 2008.
I did this fast, as I have a meeting to get to. As you can, I made some big mistakes. I left the mote collecting goggles on the pally and hunter, as well as a riding crop, so his dps is not as good as it should be. I also forgot to get the 110 nature buff at the end from the guy in the cage. I let him out, just forgot to get it! Shows you can do it without it, however it is easier with it.
For the second boss that you asked about, I did not use drums in case you do not have a leather worker.
Some easy simple tips.
- Heal yourself along with your healer to get the debuff off.
- Make a Divine Shield macro to quickly activate and turn it off. That will wipe the debuff too.
- If you haven't done it. Change the mouse over activation setting in the registry. You can get it to activate a window almost instantly from the default 1/2 second. Makes rolling over them much easier.
The team has a couple pieces of badge gear. The rest is BIS blues. Hunters have 4 piece Beast Lord, trinket from Arctraz, Kurenai rep quiver, neck from Botanica and they all have the Wrathtide Bow from Steam Vaults Heroic.
Wait until you try the second boss in Steam Vaults with no software to strafe everyone. Manually moving each character out of her storm is a nightmare. Other two bosses are fairly easy.
Anyway, keep trying. Hunters are great in SP because they can ignore the Defender shields, you have 3 stuns for the soothsayers and enchanters and do some pretty decent dps.
I can burst above 1K on the Hunters. With drums and heroism, a little higher of course. Shaman group does consistent 1.6K to 2K, Mages are about 1.2K to 1.4K dps. Hunters are the lowest. They are fun though and get the job done. Still working on a decent macro for them to max their dps and get closer to the other teams.
I also don't have all my macros setup yet. I hate clicking spells, had to here since I don't have eveyrthing created yet. I'm trying to not use anything that might seem like streamlining.
I have all heroics down at this point and am running different teams. Starting to do Kara, which isn’t too bad so far!
Have fun and let me know if you need help with any other instances.
Everything is of course much harder than before. That said, it is really fun when you get Heroics down with different teams. Also, knowing the multibox population is near zero on most servers is pretty cool too. You are doing something unique that not many people are doing anymore.
Good luck and have fun.
