I just looked at your gear and it's true. Only a few pieces are BoP from raids. Theres lots of BoE raid epics and heroics gear. It looks like it's about as geared as you can get without doing raids.
Nice job. My mixed group dps has a hard time breaking 2k dps so I doubt I would be able to get past the gargoyles. You made those boss fights seem really simple though.
On Loatheb did you put something in your macros to target the spores or did you handle it some other way?

This is truly amazing and is something ive been thinking of trying for a while now. I just assumed that 2 tanks would be needed for most stuff in there so I was in the process of leveling a second team to 10 box with. I might take a break from that though and see if I can 5 box anything there.
I have a mage at 60 but I wasnt planning on adding him to the group. Do you think there may be some way to get around the lack of replenishment? Im thinking, flasks, pots. I have a boomkin in my group so innervate is also there although its not gonna restore my whole groups mana.
The other option would be some kind of dodgy dual spec for my pala tank so he can get replenishment. Maybe Ill have a play with the talent calc and see what I can do there
Thanks for inspiring me to try this
P.s. Awesome music choices also! Deadmau5 - I remember, and Cannon Rock
This is really quite inspiring.
A definitely a know your enemy video: perfect pulls, movement / placement, and pace.
While the guy isn't in raid gear, he is obviously doing everything by the numbers. When to blow heroism, pets, etc and had no shortage of the right knowledge, even if his toons were semi virgins to the place ... its either [Safety Dance] or wipe.
The fumble with the healer was the best part, I am glad you left it in.
awesome i really liked it. one thing im thinking is he picked plague cause none of the bosses enrage. those fights seemed like they took quite a while. proper respect to smartjelly. i wouldnt have thought it doable

Nice 5 manning a 10man raidI just got my guys to 80 now thinking of how to get them geared.
Thanks for your feedback
I've been finding it hard to get my mage and druid to match the dps of the shaman, which is a shame as they can both bring some really nice (de)buffs to the party.>My mixed group dps has a hard time breaking 2k dps so I doubt I would be able to get past the gargoyles.
The totems took care of those; that was my 1st attempt on Loatheb so I had nothing prepared other than reading up on wowwiki. It took me 40 minutes to get passed the trash before him, so I was very relieved.>On Loatheb did you put something in your macros to target the spores or did you handle it some other way?
A few weeks ago I tried this with 4 shaman and almost (15%) got him (once), but I had to tank the adds close to the team so the AoE damage would trigger water shield. This time, I put thunderstorm on my dps macro for its mana regen and glyphed to stop the knowback, and with a pot/flask maybe it's doable.>Do you think there may be some way to get around the lack of replenishment?
That does sound dodgy, gonna give it a try though>The other option would be some kind of dodgy dual spec for my pala tank so he can get replenishment.
In some of my longer fights with Noth, I found that he started to spend less time on the floor and adds spawned faster. It may have been my imagination, or a bug; be sure he's fully reset before releasing. I hear Loatheb enrages after 5 min (but doens't seem likely looking at the timings)?>none of the bosses enrage.
Noth took 13 minutes, danced for 11, and Loatheb was 10 on the dot.
For those looking for an upgrade path without raiding (like myself), I hope this offers something to try out before 3.2 comes to the rescue

Impressive!
Ok scratch the 10man multiboxing plan. Back to 5 man
Questions:
1) Do you think a DK tank can do this too?
2) Do you have 4 ele or 3ele and resto for this run?

That was rather impressive, love the video and good job on 5 boxing what some 10 individual players still cant do lol.
I must admit that he did have the whole damn place down like he did it every day but he got the achievement for doing it on the video, man how many times did you die? Was it a perfect run?
Daggerspine Alliance: Phoebus(Tank), Soozanuna(Heals/Tailor), Angakak (Enchanter), Wakantanaka(Herb/Alch), Znakharka, Jonhyone(JC), Marious(Other Tank/BS), Magnux(Enchanter), Coyolxhauqui(LW)
Nice! You really did make it look easy. Although, I doubt I'd last beyond the first trash pull..
I'd previously broken about 3 sets of gear tring to get Noth down before I gave up and geared my mage; he then went down 1st time.>Was it a perfect run?
Another set of gear on the Heigan to find the winning formula, although I already knew the dance. Finally, the trash room between Heigan & Loatheb broke another set but he went down 1st time.
The whole run took about 3 hours!
Now that I've look over the available loot, it seems like more trouble than it's worth. Although it still good fun to try>For those looking for an upgrade path...
