boxing just 4, pugging the 5th, my experiences

[ghonosyph]

I'll chime in on this, and also give you a couple pointers!

I run Feral druid + 3 dps dk's as my main boxing team, and i generally find time throughout the week to pug ten mans with all of them AND raid 3 days a week on my main dk in 25 mans. I LOVE my tank/3 dps team. Its fun to show off for your healers, and i've even become famous in a couple guilds cross server! i've had the pleasure of meeting several healers from some good guilds and tehy all know about "that cool dk multiboxer from azgalor server lol! i dont care who you are FAME IS FUN!! lol

Plus it lets me be JUST A LIL BIT anti social while not having to deal with 4 other dickbags 1(the healer) is enough! lol Of course you get a random healer every now and then that hasn't seen anything like this before, or one that thinks you're "botting" and they just leave, I usually just lol and continue killing trash solo till another healer arrives.

I've had a blast so far with the random dungeon thing. The only problem i've seen/had has been that whenever i load into an instance it takes an abnormally LONG LONG time for all my toons to load! As such i've had healers standing there bitching and whining "lets go, hurry HURRY!" then leave. Oh well lol i get another healer almost instantly anyway once i'm loaded in. It seems once i've gotten my team into an instance, that after that run and any others, that the load time increases, not sure why but i would love to figure it out.
I also turn off pass on loot unless i'm in fos or pos heroics. I may be kind and gentle when it comes to random trash, but if i got the chance to horde a battered hilt drop, /BACKOFF /e says "THATS MINE BEEEOTTCCHH!!!" lol of course there is a SMALL chance 1 in 5 that the healer gets it, but i'll definitely stack the odds in my favor lol. If he gets mad, he can leave and i can replace him with another healer in seconds anyway lol


On to the pointers, When in oculus, to mount on all your drakes at once, just set up and use a spread out macro. YOU CANNOT STAND IN ONE BIG PILE!!!! lol if you stand in one big pile some of your team hops on the others mount and then you're left without mounting, but if you spread out, either in a line, or a Plus formation where the drakes dont all land in teh same spot, you'll have no problems !

You said something to the affect of needing a master focus key, If you use a focus as lead setup you'll already have these lol you can also use a macro for /follow party1 /assist party1 (this will assist and follow the leader of the group, which generally is going to be you!"
