25 nax shinnagins! (Cleared)

You can spread your 5 toons all around the platform so they are near nobody else (in fact one each can stay on the "jump" platform and still reach Thaddius with LB/LVB). Remember, the charge has a 10 yard radius or so, and you only damage someone else if you have a different charge than someone else who is within 10 yards of you.

The only problem with this strat is that you are now down 2-3 charges each side, which means your other DPS has to perform that much better to avoid enrage. If everyone else in your raid is geared decently (no greens, mostly epics) and nobody else dies, you will make it. If however you have other people who cannot run in time and die, or if your overall raid DPS is on the lower side, you will not make the enrage timer. Its kind of a double whammy too since ele shaman DPS is on the lower end to start with.

btw dunno if its a fps bug or whatnot, and I've always wanted to test it after Thaddius died (but forget each week, lol) -- but one time I just "ran" off the platform with my Tauren and made the jump. I think its Taurens only, if someone wants to test that after a Thaddius death see if running off without jumping lets you land on the platform.

Running off the platform is good to know. I'd hate to try it and miss lol. If anyone knows for sure if you can just run off that would make things easier.

You definitely have to do this with a good guild. Once everyone is geared up it won't matter too much, but could you imagine doing this in a pug? "Hey everyone, I am going to spread out and not move during polarity shifts. Just stay away from me, and I know we are just missing the enrage timer, but do more dps ok?" :P

Great job on doing this with 5 characters. That's a big accomplishment to get him down in a 25 man before the 5 min enrage timer without the damage buffs. Awesome.

Didn't he do this by himself with 25 toons? If so, then he doens't need a good guild :P

I actually posted how I did Thadeus over in the pve section. I bounced two shamans back and forth with charges. As I said. And I don't use a guild... I run a sorta pug every week. The people I get are how ever good considering we're doing it with out two shamans charges, they plant a nuke while the others run.

"Hey everyone, I am going to spread out and not move during polarity shifts. Just stay away from me, and I know we are just missing the enrage timer, but do more dps ok?"

It's more like "Ok, so see the star and the x, don't go near them or we wipe kapiesh? "

I think I might warm up my old friend fraps, and make a fun little video of multiboxing naxx this week.

/envious of your gear


however my shaman are sitting on the shelf for a bit while I play with a DK group. I burnt myself out running 4 heroics + and WG a few times a day. The thought of going to another heroic is nauseous, lol.

Your original post makes it look like you ran 25 man Naxx with all 4 characters and contributed fully like a solo character. For this boss it would mean running them around the boss when you get the debuff and doing max dps, which isn't possible with four chracters. Can you fraps the next run of all the bosses? I'd really like to see it.

There are some great posts, screenshots and videos of people doing PvP solo(them and their characters), heroics and other events by themselves. For me, I'm not sure letting two of your four characters stand there while you sort of play the other two counts as multiboxing while the pug does the hard work.

The achievement is great, but it doesn't seem like you are multiboxing at this point. More like running them through for gear and to get the achievement. Still nice, but not the same as soloing hard content with them. For new people they are going to be awfully disappointed when they try to 4 or 5 box Naxx 25 and realize you can't do it and contribute equally with all 5 characters.

There is nothing wrong with this at all, just different than getting a high rating in PvP solo or doing UP Skadi event solo on heroic with regular non-25 man gear.

So there is one fight in all of naxx in where I don't contribute as much as a non multibox player. You're going to denigrate my achievement. Yes two of my shamans do no contribute charges, but they OFTEN manage to still out dps people. Pulling off the highest dps in my raid is always a help. Pulling 1-4 on patchwerk isn't something to go "oh she's just draggin' those shamans alllllong."

Globblious, I never have dropped some one with a disease, always keep them in the right spots, never stop dps while I run, two or even three away from the raid.

KT, Never once have I died from void zones, all of my shamans do separate hexing, and I off heal my self and others in ice blocks.

Saph, I off heal and get behind the ice blocks just like every other hybrid dps should.

The "safty dance" 3-4 shamans live with out the safe spot.

I could go over each fight but it's safe to say thaddius isn't the example of the usefulness of a multiboxer. Having one person who plays better then some moron you pug out, even if they control 1/5th of the raid will always be better then said moron pugger. Hell one person can whipe thaddius, I'm making sure four people won't.

So I've done the UP event, I geared up in heroics pulling 30 badges a night on some nights. and UP was one of them, it's a silly easy fight. Now I haven't managed to get Gundrak yet, I'm sure I will, I'd love to have some Frozen waist title action.

I contribute better then most of my raid, ask any of my group. Most will say "The N's make us look bad, she can do better then us most of the time... on four."

So just cause I'm not 25 boxing naxx dosn't make it less of an achievement. I four boxed it, my raid wouldn't change my clones out for any one else, because they know I rock, I rock hard. And I never slack, and thats more then you can say about most people who are rolling around sucking up gear in naxx. Hell I don't even roll on gear I use badges to buy it all, our resto shaman loves me.

but not the same as soloing hard content with them

I four box raided in BC too. Through sunwell infact, pre-nerf. Nothing in wotlk has compared to some of the fights in BC.


I'm N, I four box raid. Deal with it.

I retired Z/Siqenna sadly. I see you moved off Smolder-tron as well. Go go space goats?

I'm glad to see you remembered you fourth string "I'm bored lets arena" healer from Season 2. You did get me addiction to shaman boxing ever since that first match! Now I can't stop.

Saw your front page, grats on your naxx! I'm back off to the beach, hanging in Hawai for no real reason right now.
