5class boxing

[Oldin]

I have now managed to start the group and gotten up to level 10. Doing all the class quests for the different classes will be backbreaking, but the feeling of accomplishment when all the classes have finished the level's quests is awesome. Here is a short video of when I first came to Crossroads with the group.

Noticed that I will probably have to update my processor from the 3500+ single core

Sounds like a headache waiting to happen

The feeling of sorrow when all the classes have finished leveling and you try to PvP is overwhelming.

There is plenty of pve content after lvl 70 and I can always solo pvp then.

Ugh setting up the binds for that @ 70 makes my head hurt.

If you don't already have a plan, I'd suggest going with a "button1=boltlike spell, button2=dot, button3=channel" approach. I used to have most of my characters set up like that so when i switched around it would be similar enough lol.

[Oldin]

I will most likely set up single button dps cycles in castsequences for each dps character and I'll be spamming this button while the paladin has a button to press in holy shield every once in a while together with consecration to hold aggro. Then only thing I will need to micromanage is the healing, and the CC, and the counterspelling, and the totems, and the numerous other things that can go wrong inside a dungeon.

Having a shaman, Castsequence macros for your totems are your friends! lol

making sure you have resets in those totem macros also avoids many more headaches

The girls are now level 14 after a night out in Tranquilien. If you looked at the original video, you might have noticed they were all of different races, which adds uniqueness to the group. I am going to ignore the druid quest for cure poison now since I cannot wait to get into an instance. Still going to have the Pally tank and the Druid heal. While the other's nuke as much as possible. RFC Tonight will be the first real challenge to the girls.

While killing, there wouldn't seem to be a reason to move the dps or healer as long as aggro is kept steadily at the tank while killing, so going to use focus on the mage for sheeping target while killing, and refocusing for the follow later. Probably going to focus for offtanking with voidy too.

I Will be sure to post some movies or pictures of the progress in here or another thread.

btw, if you are using keyclone, you will benefit greatly by using keymaps

make a grid, classes across the top, hotstrings down the left.. keys in the middle

then make the keymaps and load them onto the appropriate clones.

this way, you'd have keys per clone as it would normally be.. unlikely trying to shoehorn 5 classes of keys into 1 keyboard
