WotLK Heroic 5-boxing Videos (Now with Ratings)

[Hachoo]

Perhaps this thread can get stickied. There are quite a lot of threads in the movie forum that have movies that involve strategies for running various instances with various group compositions. I have a running thread in the forum with all of my own Heroic Videos run with DK + 4 Shaman. Since a lot of people don't know the movie forum exists or possibly don't realize there are helpful/strategic videos in there, I thought having a thread in the PvE forum linking to "strategy" videos would be a good idea. Below is the list of videos:

Edit: I have added ratings for my specific group makeup on the difficulty of each dungeon. If anyone else that has contributed videos wants to provide difficulty ratings for their own makeup, please post here or send me a PM and I will add them. Ratings should be on a scale of 3-9 with 9 being the hardest. I consider the lowest score to be a 3 just because 1-2 IMO would be non-heroic instances. I also don't think any heroics deserve a 10 - 10 would mean nearly impossible, and I think the hardest event is just "really hard"

I encourage anyone else who has made videos that will be helpful to people trying out instances to post in this thread and also I can compile a list into this first post and organize it by Instance and Group composition.

Hopefully others think this is a good idea. I think everyone can agree that actually seeing someone run an instance can sometimes help more than reading a strategy about it.

[Hachoo]

No one? Anyone else that is making videos want to give me some links to add to the above Instance entries? I still think it would be a good idea to have a list of videos people can download to view instance/boss runs for various group compositions.

I'm at work at the moment, but will be happy to add my videos later. Saving this space for that :-)

Big thx for your work,

maybe i'll get ahn'kahet down now =)

my team is half epic geared now and i play tankadin, ele, ele, resto, boomkin and i even have a hard time getting past 1 boss =/
this instance pisses me off =/

[Hachoo]

Once you get the hang of the first few bosses they're pretty easy - the last boss is sort of a PITA but not too bad after you get used to him - just tedious. IMO the most painful part of the instance is the trash near the 3rd boss through the last boss - some mobs are immune to fire, some immune to nature, and some cast an aoe that can kill your whole team in a few seconds - its really bad, i have yet to complete the instance without wiping on trash at least once.

Thanks for this Hachoo. These videos helped me get thru Gundrak & DTK. Gonna try the others soon when I get tired of PVP'ing.

[Fortis]

Thanks a lot for posting the Vids!
They helped me very much in my first heroic runs.

the CoS Video is awesome dude.

1) Whats the addon with the grey box (slave communication ?)

2) you hardly loot. Is that normal or just to speed up the run.

In general ? I realized that looting costs lots of time. Is there a way to loot quicker ?

[Hachoo]

I loot in all dungeons except during the 5 times I was trying to get my bronze drakes in CoS - I can definitely finish CoS now timed with looting but I wanted to show the fastest way to get it done (which involves ignoring loot which does eat up a couple minutes of time).

The box in the lower right that shows my slaves is the addon Multiboxer v2 which hasn't been updated in about a year Its amazing it still works. I keep meaning to upgrade to Jamba but I'm lazy as long as this addon keeps working.

If anyone else has made any videos they want me to include in the main post please let me know, I'd like to get an archive going of as many dungeons and group compositions as possible.

[Bloodcloud]

Multiboxer V2: Does it work in conjunction with Jamba ? I like the message per slave. -> will post a question about this in another forum.

About your totems. Are you dropping the same totems with all your shammies or are they mixed ? (just watched part of the HUK Bosses vid)
