5+ Raiders, where are you?

[Altsoba]

It's been long since 5+ Boxing raiders have posted their advancement here.

I've been in a long pause and hoping to start raiding again soon, doing something between 3-10 boxing depending on availability of others to come.

I went as far as Naxx, Voa (2 bosses) and Sarth.

Ulduar Anyone?
Trial of the Crusader Anyone?
Onyxia Anyone?
Where are you now?

Let's revive this section please

Yeah, lots of guildies have had RL stuff so raiding has been sparse at best. I used my non raiding time to lvl up my shaman, and farmed a TON of heroics so my tank is nearly maxed on badge gear, just doing heroic daily for triumph badges.

I don't have much incentive to raid. The learning curve is too steep, and I get better loots grinding heroics. I might clear Naxx once I finish maxing out my badge gear, but personally, I never plan on pushing raid content again. Unless encounters become a lot more boxing friendly.

[Bigfish]

Unless you're 10 boxing, the learning curve isn't steep at all.

1) form raid
2) zone in, kill trash
3) goto wowwiki.com, read boss strat
4) ??
5) loot!

EDIT: I think 10 boxing is just getting all the damn macros and keybindings set... which you knew would be a pain going in.

Not just key bindings and macros, but individual macros for damn near every boss, with movement and clicking on some, and at the end of the day, not really enough epics to cover the man power cost of just running heroics, which at this point offers me better and faster loot. Might be worth the trouble if they reduced lockouts to a day instead of a week. The conclusion I arrived to was that it was just more productive to go it with 5.

But then, that's my experience from the perspective of one of every class in a 10-man raid. 2 Paladins and 8 Shamans would probably cruise along a lot easier, but my ultimate goal was to realize the potential of every class at the cap. I just do it in 2 groups of 5 instead of one of 10. Plus side is I can still field all 10 if the need strikes me.

One of my healers is a resto Druid. The healing is so disgustingly good, high HPS, low MPS, and AoE Hot that keeps everyone topped off damn near 100% of the time.

I am doing 10. Team 1 is 80, team 2 is 71 so I just raid Kara/ZA atm. My goal is obviously 80 content. Getting the software has been my biggest problem.

Ive been able to box through faction champions in 25, and my guild has allowed me to do up through Thorim and Hodir last night.
I doubt we will be short for mimiron and beyond so that wont happen for me I don't think.

[daviddoran]

if I were to 10 box, definately 2 pally tanks, 1 holy priest, 1 resto druid, 1 fire mage, 2 destro locks, and 2 ele shaman. Dual spec one pally tank holy, and the resto druid boomkin, for fights that only need one tank, maybe a few others for flexibility, i.e. make one sham dual spec resto/ele. I dont think i will though, for reasons posted earlier. You can easily laughably easily farm heroics, and get badge gear thats better than naxx 10 drops, by far. From what I've seen, most raid fights are much more movement and micro intensive than most heroic fights, lots of times where dps needs to either split to 2 targets, or burn down an add, then back to the boss, etc. Not worth it. Dual 5 boxing, however, IMO is the best of both worlds.
