Update: How the 5x Boomkins are doing

[Evilseed]

What kind of build did you use 1-40? feral? or balance? Cuz Im sure this group shines at 40 with boomkin

This may be a surprise, but I actually did feral until I started rolling high XP instances (at lvl 51ish).

The reason is the fact that 5x ferals can kill 1 mob with their energy dump much faster than the cast time of any spell, as well as the run-up-to-mob difference. Feral never goes OOM and is very fluid. I had no problems at all with melee facing doing 5x feral.

if druids had a way to deal with fear i'd still be playing my 5 druids. i agree one of the best parts was dotting everything, insect swarm is a godly spell 5x. in higher end pvp you're going to have fear problems but everybody's got some weakness so who cares. i can't believe you got 60 in 22 hours yet are still only 75 =)

Well for druids its really hard for a fearing class to be able to get close to me to even get a fear off. If I ever am in that situation, what I usually do is hit a button dumping 5x instant HOTs on my main guy, then another putting to spread 5x hots on each guy to themselves. This makes any fearing really not do much harm. Also to remember that when the fear ends, I can toss some AMAZING HOT heals before my guys are even lined up back on follow due to HOTs being instance and not requiring any facing to cast.

Yea I laxed on the leveling because I'm almost done getting ready to make my neato program public

When are you going to be releasing this tool? I want to use Volley :whistling:

Since August he teased us with the phrase "soon". I finally got tired of lurking and just posted to ask about it again today. Being able to volley trash in instances will be a huge boost and possibly trivialize some of the trash/bosses I've been having some difficulty with. I am really looking forward to his solution. Wowhead has pretty much been my one stop site for WoW info until I started dual, then quad/quint boxing.

Haha yea I know. I'm slow sometimes

As far as soon.. soon now means something like a couple weeks, give or take. 8|

EDIT: To be honest, I've been having an absolute blast doing a lot of self tests which has been the root case for the delays. I ran Utgarde Keep last night on my 5x75 boomkins and I could AOE 2-3 pulls at once, every time, thanks to insta 5x hurricains. Truly magical. The last month I've been tweaking a few things due to how windows versions and all that works. PLUS, and this is key, I keep on dumbing down the program purposely. I now have a perfect version working that is super dumbed down. It is dumbed down on purpose to stop people from using it to bot or whatever. The more simple and straightfoward and "one switch throws 5 switches" it is, the better.

Anyway, its coming out soon. I even have a website built already. Have fun guessing the domain

Sounds good - could you explain a bit about the mechanics? :-)

What battlegroup are you in? I heard about a guy 5 boxing druids on Retaliation going stealth and then peekabooing in arenas with 15 trees and beginning the moonfire spam and doing pretty good. was that you?

Guilty as charged

BTW it is peekabooming not peekabooing

(brb nap time)

awesome, I'm in that battlegroup myself. You better hurry to 80 because arenas start on the 16th and I'd love to go up against some other multiboxers - though I suppose you would too considering your AoE capabilities.

If there is a way to target hurricane and trees I may roll a druid team. Likewise this would help my mages use some of their aoe abilities I never get to use. Until this ability is out I will not waste the time leveling up a new team from scratch.
