Grobbulus down! 2x5 box + more!

[DLoweinc]

Grats on your naxx progression! grob is one of the harder fights in naxx because to run someone out, then back in as you have to run someone back out really slows the DPS down.

I've taken my 5boxing group and done everything but KT. KT is totally possible but a bunk 2nd healer wiped us a few times and discouraged the rest of the people helping.

I 5boxed my mixed group (Prot paladin, Disc priest, arcane mage, elemental shaman, moonkin) and had the help of a druid tank and a holy pali to seven man every boss up to gluth.

For Gluth I went in next day with my 5 plus a resto shaman, 2nd moonkin, holy pali, and another prot pali. so 9 people total including my 5. We did Gluth, thaddius, and Sapphiron.

Thaddius you can just cast slow fall on everyone or levitate if you have it. Spread your guys out so they won't hit each other with opposing debuffs. The enrage timer was a joke even without the buff, but that was becasue my group does really good dps, all of them above 3k, mage and shaman sometimes above 4k.

Just remember that the tank switch on stalagg and the other guy before Thaddius may mean you need to change your targetting to explicit for that fight.

i usually assist my prot pali and attack that target but i had to change it to /tar thaddius /tar stalagg which worked fine.

For sapphiron i had the resist sets crafted to ease healing on my guys. Getting behind an ice block wasn't difficult if you group up your guys, there is plenty of time. avoiding the blizzard is tough and really slows down DPS.

KT was not bad at all, it wasn't me "the 5boxer" that caused those wipes. just spread out for phase 2 and know that you will need to either switch windows quickly or be able to individually strafe a guy out of the void zone. Other than that it is essentially a tank and spank.

I also did vault of archavon and OS with my 5 and the feral druid/holy pali, was very easy.

Myself, and another boxer tried it last night, we got Noth down 9 manning it (I had pugged one of my mages earlier in the week and she was saved) and we also did first boss in spider wing with the help of another solo to make it an even 10. Both of us haven't done much in the way of boxed raid healing. Our tanks were fine and our dps was quite good actually, but all of our wipes were healing related. I need to work on my priest being able to heal multiple tanks easily. Im guessing i could use target for one tank and focus for the other? Or maybe Focus on the off tank while the other heal goes to the targettarget?

We might attempt some more tonight, 2 manning the Heigan dance maybe?

i need to make a macro that sequentially goes through each player and decurses, with 3 mages i could have one mage start with the tanks, one with the healers and one randomly doing it. not efficient, but easy to just mash a key....

I think we ended up just eating the curses that i couldnt get off. I tried to click as fast as i could, but i know i missed a few. WTB Decurse totem

tank healing is a bit easier than raid decursing.

For raid healing, I just have two different keys (and macros) that are assigned to each tank and I change them for different tanks. For example, I have F11 and my main tank healing key on my priest. A normal press is greater heal, an ALT F11 press is power word: shield, ctrl F11 is a renew, and Shift is pain suppression.

I use F11, F10, F9, F8, and F7 to heal my "party". I rearrange them on my healers cast bar in the order that they appear on my "main's" screen and until the new jamba version comes out which will allow groups to be in the same order all the time, I just change it every time I login or the group order changes.

The pros to working in this way is that I can easily heal my whole team by using the unit frames on my main's screen and through modifier keys I can have 4 spells (or even more if I wanted). The cons are that I cannot heal the other group at all really.

To heal the second tank I have a macro setup to the F5 key which heals either the main tank or Offtank. F6 is my AOE heal key (prayer of healing).

I have no idea how to work in decursing unless I "play" the window of my decurser (either mage or druid) which leaves me no idea how I am going to dps and also tank. I think I need three of four arms to accomplish all this or a reworking of my entire system. Or can you have a conditional macro that says

/cast [target=raid1] decurse
/cast [target=raid2] decurse
/cast [target=raid3]decurse

etc etc?

I doubt that this is possible currently, but until then I end up playing my decurser's window to accomplish this, which ends up slowing down DPS moderately and makes me unable to (or poorly) tank at the same time.

Grats!

I Wish there was another 5 boxer on Lightninghoof.

I'm working on it but my computer can't handle all 5 anymore. I need to upgrade so I'm down to two-boxing.

Source code

/cast [target=raid1] decurse
/cast [target=raid2] decurse
/cast [target=raid3]decurse


etc etc?

this is off the top of my head... so may not work:

Noth's cure you can just heal thru it pretty much on 10 man, specially if you have shadow resist aura up. After it explodes jus CoH + healing stream totems + chain heal =)

How about raid decursing?

How about:

/targetraid
/cast Remove Curse

That should cycle through nearby raid members.

I think if you constantly change targets (spam), the server will eventually disconnect you. At least, that's been my experience.

Interesting - this has never happened to me, and that's more or less how I (sloppily) do raid healing on my druid when I'm multiboxing.

I'm surprised by this as well, although I've not tried it to prove otherwise. People don't usually disconnect while tab targeting and I wouldn't think this would be any different? I just recall this macro from when Blizzard first removed the old functionality from Decursive and people (solo players, not multiboxers) were looking for alternative ways to spam decurse. "/targetraid" to cycle through one way and "/targetraid 1" to reverse the direction. For myself, though, I've always just manually decursed, even while multiboxing. It's just less complicated to simply click the people who need to be fixed up, and a whole lot more efficient. I'd hate to have to potentially spam 25 times to remove a curse from one guy! lol
