PvE Progress

[mmmbox]

Hi,

I recently started 5boxing (or rather I run 5 chars on one pc, 30" screen, vista64 quad core and radeon 4870x2 helps) I made a post in the newcomer section with some pre tbc updates.

I run 1 Paladin tank, x3 Beast Master Hunters, 1 Holy Priest, atm I use tenacity pets for extra hp armor

When I became 60 I hit outlands, I did allot of the quests 1st to become 61, this I recommend since there are allot of easy quests that give you good gear and xp, ofc I aint 5boxing to quest, but with the right addons(quest helper) and the fact that you run 5 chars you make hysterical amounts of xp fast doing kill x mob quest

so once my paladin hit 61 I went to Ramparts (2 hunters were still 60), my hunters are non twinked, the best weap I had was a blue gun from maraduron 35dps, the other 2 had lvl 30 green guns lol

I always drop ice trap should some add get lose or whatever as a precaution, also 3 tenacity pets helps with tanking should something happen to my paladin.

I burned right thro to the 1st boss, dps wasn't a problem neither was tanking, 1st boss was also easy, aoe tanking with paladin, burned the 2 priests down 1st and then I burned down him as well, easy as pie.

I use allot of LoS pulling with paladin to gather casters etc bunched up and then consecrate aoe tanking, I will have to fine tune this ones I hit Heroics where AoE tanking is a bit riskier with mobs doing way more dmg.

I have done these instances a gazillion times on heroic 2k+ badges farmed so all I know about these instances are from heroic mode ,I know the bosses have abilities on heroic that they don't have on normal, but its np being overly prepared

2nd boss (Demon boss), ofc the key to this boss is ranged dps and keep track of adds, again having a paladin makes it easy, some ppl have issues with manaburn but with new talents skill etc it shouldn't be a problem, use bow, seal of wisdom and you should be home safe, I consecrate to keep adds on me, and again I have tenacity pets, BEAR who swipe so they also help with adds.

Spread your chars out, don't let them stand to close to each other, I don't remember if this was only on heroic but he curses you and if you stand to close to a group mate they will prolly die , again hit attack and burn him and his adds down, I use a lot of multishot on this boss to kill adds.

Many ppl consider the dragon the "end boss" but the Demon boss is the actual end boss, you get achievement and he also drops primal nether(on heroic).

Ok so far all have been easy, this is mostly due to the fact that I don't have to move the other chars while fighting so how will Dragon boss work???

On dragon boss I had to prepare some, remember the event start once you attack the 2 mobs before the dragon but the boss wont actually come until you kill em, so take it easy don't waste to much mana or whatever and make shure all are full health before the last mob dies.

the rider comes charging in I grab aggro run into the "ring", I put all chars on follow while I do this just to bring them into the area so it gets easier to move them around once the dragon start spewing fire once inside I release them, burn down the rider asap, pop trinkets, cd's etc, I consider one of the key elements to this fight being to kill the rider asap so you don't have to worry about him once Naz descends. to avoid fire I use the strafe keys, I whiped 1st time because I didn't pay attention to fire bombs, 2nd time I almost whiped cause I was paying to much attention to moving forgetting to heal the tank lol.

Having a priest here is really helpful, 1st they have AoE-heal, also they have instant dps/aoe heal/nuke, so anyway 2nd try I got him down YaY

I did ramp twice to gear up, I was really lucky with drops getting 3 blue plate drops, imo gearing the tank is no1 prio, I also got some blue cloth which is also great since you want your priest to have good gear, once I got honored with "honor hold" I bought each hunter 2 1h swords with good stats.

Also doing the quest for ramp will get you good blue items as reward.

Ramp is fun and fast, its a good instance to gearup some, ofc i could have done it more then twice but i lvl fast and got the gear i wanted, I dont want to do instances when they are trivial, ramp gets trivial once you hit 62

My next post will cover my travels in "Blood Furnace"

First time writer here.

I have a mixed team that consist of a Prot pally, resto druid, destr warlock, marks hunter and fire mage. Were currently working on cen rep in zangermarsh. Ive done most instances, havent tired any heroics yet. I shouldnt have a problem once i finished my reps in outlands. Not planning on going to northrend till i finish outlands. So anyone on Trollbane say whats up to Steelslayer.

Finnaly doing outland instances:

Hellfire Ramparts : Cleared with 4 shamans, level 62. Last boss I wiped about 4-5 times trying to get him down, forgot grounding totems a few times. Fire resistance and some health potions helped to down him, almost wiped, had 2 guys standing when he went down.

Cleared: Slave Pens, Underbog and Blood Furnace with a tank assisting me.

hey Iceorbz - what was your gear like when u started running hellfire ramparts at 62? I'll be there soon (lvl 56 pally, priest, 3xmage) but my gear is weak, especially on my mages. Do i need to gear up in scholo/strat first?

Prot War, 3 Disc Priests, 1 Destro Warlock

Heroics Cleared: UK, Nexus, Drak Tharon, Halls of Lightning

Low DPS group but with very efficient healing (prayer of mending + spam shadow word death to get it bouncing), great for long fights bad for DPS races

[TheBigBB]

Cleared heroic Drak'Tharon today - my first heroic.

Drop me a line if anyone needs help with it! :-)

Must say that since I hit wotlk mBoxing have become a drug to me i follow wowwiki on lvl reqs for instances, primarily for tank and healer, dps is ok to slack some.

1 paladin 3 hunters 1 priest

UK at 70, whiped like crazy on Ingvar redid my entired setup, went from 10 buttons being pushed to 3... macros ftw.

Nexxus at 71, last boss was dishing out dmg on my tank like there was no end, healing was the challange here, keeping everyone alive, while jumping at the right moment (to lose the debuff).

AN at 72, 1st boss is easy its the 9 adds that whiped me before i got it right, big spider on 2nd try, end boss on 1st try.

I love hunters, you put a gun in their hand, ammo in their pocket and then they just tear anything, beastmaster is OP and imo no1 choice if you mbox them, the nerf inc changes nothing.
