Do NOT be discouraged. Do NOT give up... Oh yes, it is hard. It is sometimes insane. You will Wipe. You will wipe in ways that would disband a normal PUG, but do NOT Give up. And don't do the same thing over and over expecting a different result. Try different things. Experiment. That's the glory of running your own 6-box, you can do whatever you want.

After 14 tries, I finally got the book burning end-mob in Crucible to 20% last night (i want that fabled shield!). I keep wiping cause he fires off an AOE that moves my toons, and i can't move'm back too the books fast enough. Each time I got closer, but ... after 3 aoes, my toons are just too scattered for me to handle it. I've got some more ideas to try and if i figure it out, i'll post it here.

For some fights, you'll even need to make a special macro key or two, to do the stuff you gotta do. Most things can be fixed with /follow, /stopfollow, and /autoattack 0. The rest, good luck!

But, there will be certain encounters you will not be able to box, especially in VP and any T4+ Raid stuff. But don't worry, if you ever get that powerfull, just run 1 toon at a time. Look at it this way, at least that's the only time you have to run 1 toon. Everyone else is stuck with 1 forever .

I cleared the first two Befallen dungeons wednesday night, then got the the electricity trap w/ boss in the 3rd dungeon and ... went out for a cigarette and a beer after that FAIL. That fight is Insane, but I think i know how to beat it. Time will tell.

And, to enforce what Noxxy said, don't walk into a TSO 'easy' dungeon decked out in Kunark Gear and expect to win it non-mentored. They're just too hard. Once you get into T1 w/ Epics, the easy ones will be managable. Once you get into T2 Armor, all bets are off.
