forgive me for being dumb, but i havent been able to get mount following to work, can someone post a walkthru!? =)

You can't follow the player when in a vehicle. i.e. /follow Playername

Delete me

However, /follow party1 works just fine. It's the same thing I use when making a GY run too (since i use a nodead qualifier in my follow macro so if my main dies I can switch to the next in line)

Actually this is wrong, you can do /follow PlayerName. I know this because this is how my guild does Malygos. All you have to do is type it out, and you're set. Now how you'd do the cast rotation for Oculus, well I'm not sure about that one.

All heroics cleared with my dk/4 shamans. So, if anyone says something isn't boxable - they're wrong. Now to finish off these 11 achievements for Glory of the Hero.

Boxable with 4 shamans and a DK. Some encounters are more difficult with a more diverse set up.

ss2 cleared all the heroics first among multiboxers afaik, he even did oculus pre 3.08 and the /vehicle follow fix, which is crazy! But only 3-4 of you guys have done Oculus even since the patch (solo player), so awesome job!

Would love to hear the rotations you use for bronze drakes, I tried a few time this weekend and just wiped. For those who are trying, you need to turn off possession bars if you use something like Bartender/Macaroon, since you can't change abilities on possess bars, and write macros instead like these:

follow:
/follow <nameofmainplayer>

attack1:
/assist <nameofmainplayer>
/cast Shock Lance

attack2:
/assist youknow
/cast Temporal Rift

(last one only available after boss3 is dead)
attack3:
/assist youknow
/cast Stop Time

Drop these macros in various slots, I think you need to set it up so you can rotate Temporal Rift around and Stop Time so that only 1 person is casting it at a time, while the others are casting Shock Lance. But I never managed to get him below 80% after 3 tries and just kinda gave up since had to run to a friends birthday party. BTW the other bosses are cake, for boss #2 just have your group stack together on the outer edge somewhere, pull the boss, lust, burn him, he will die insanely quick and you may just have to strafe a little left/right once to avoid the beam fires. Most groups try the "run to center" strat and rotate but the edge strat is much, much simpler.

I would also love to hear any tricks to the Brann event in HoS, I did a few weeks ago and every time I got to the phase where the "mega laser" would start frying people I'd pretty much lose guys quickly and wipe - didn't matter if I spread out of grouped up. Are there spots where you can avoid the mega laser?

Boxable with 4 shamans and a DK. Some encounters are more difficult with a more diverse set up.

But not impossible.

[Bigfish]

But not impossible.

Depends. Some encounters *cough* Oculus*cough* really punish some set ups *hackcough*melee*hack*.

Not that any encounter is necesarily impossible, but 4 shamans and a tank doesn't cover every possible boxing configuration.

Thats not what the discussion is about anyway, its about the fact that all heroics are boxable - whether or not they're boxable with a mixed group is irrelevant. Its not our fault some people are masochists that wanted to be punished by running 5 different classes

[Bigfish]

10 classes, thank you.

Anyway, its not exactly helpful when people show up looking for pointers if there is a presupposition that anyone who boxes needs to do so with 4 shamans or you're SOL for getting help. It particularly doesn't help if someone shows up and says 'I can't clear so-and-so' and people start lording that all heroics have been cleared by a boxer.

Don't get me wrong, its great that someone has demonstrated the possibility, but it doesn't mean it can be done by everyone, everywhere, with the same tactics.

[Hachoo]

Thats true, but again thats not the point of this thread. The point is that all heroics are boxable with 5 characters. Nowhere was it said that it was boxable with every combination of classes

[Kaynin]

And even then I'd say it's boxable for any 5 man set up that has a set up that can work in heroics as 5 individial chars as well.

It might require a bit more planning, a few more macro's, a more diverse UI, multiple profiles potentially and more time required to put into achieving heroics. But not impossible!

boxing 10 different classes is a whole feat in its own. Respect for giving that a go. I'd love to try it out myself if it wasn't for the fact that I'm a terrible leveler and already lack time as it is to play on my quad-box. Just never think something is impossible to do. Because I don't think that ever really will. Hard and time consuming, I can imagine tho. :P

Either way, 75% of how effective a multiboxer can be, regardless of which classes he boxes, is all about proper setting up and macro's, in my opinion. I think you can agree on that as a 10-boxer.
