My goal since rerolling on Magtheridon Horde in September last year was to be able to solo Naxx. In the past few weeks that has become a reality thanks to some nice strategies posted on these forums by Bigfish and others and many hours of trial and error. I designed my RAF toons so that I could have 5 balanced teams at 80 one day that could each do heroics and that I might eventually be able to do 10-man Naxx twice a week (two different teams).Originally Posted by 'puppychow',index.php?page=Thread&postID=194766#po st194766
I have 10 accounts right now, 4 teams at 80 and my last team at 67. I might be able to do two teams of Naxx 10 now, but it sure would be convenient to have another 5 toons at 80 to be able to mix and match a bit to help out with different fights. For example, I run Noth, Heigan, and Loatheb with only one tank, two healers, and seven DPS since only one tank is needed for those fights. With four total tanks among my 20 level 80s, I couldn't do this with two sets of 10 ATM. With another team at 80 I definitely could.
Fortunately, since my best team of 10 can do at least some of Naxx consistently, I have started putting in some of my less geared 10 into certain fights where gear they need may drop - much easier to gear up my second 10 this way. It is fun to be able to optimize drops so fewer drops are wasted. This same philosophy also allows me to get some guildies in for certain fights where they might get some gear (which I did this last week).
I guess at some point if I got my other team up to 80 I could split them all out onto 25 accounts and try soloing 25 Naxx, but that seems quite expensive ($150/mo I am very comfortable with, but $375/mo?), I'm not sure if I could actually have success (the fights in Naxx 25 seem to be much more complex), and overall the gain seems to be pretty marginal. As for Ulduar, I'd definitely be interested in trying it out, but I hear the first boss may be unboxable.
Overall, just happy to have hit my long term goal of soloing some of Naxx. My next short term goal is to simply expand the number of bosses I can get down.
