It's been a while... Quad Putracide any one?

[Nejcha]

I've been away from these forums for some time. But I thought I'd share some... eerr one of my adventures with you all.

I'm still out here multiboxing my raids.

This is four boxing Putracide... I have a ton more videos even all the way back from every damn heroic, my first nax 10(so so soooo long ago), quad boxing 4tower FL, 3 drake sarth 25... and quite a few of me and my 5 box warlock friend doing toc25 O.o I'm just a lazy video editor. I'm hoping to put a bunch more together of my 10s and 25's all the gigs of scrap video I have into a longer more in depth video of raiding all of wotlk with 4 shamans (no less). But for now I'm putting together fights from icc10&25.

Enjoy!

Very nice! That's probably a world first in the multiboxing world.

How did you do Rotface?

[Nejcha]

The first week it was out while he was spawning oozes out to hell, not so well. The second week nailed him my first try. Just like I did Yog and Kolo-big lazyer eyes and arms boss... and Beasts. PAY attention. I get a debuff I grab that mouse and hall ass to the kyte tank while spamming in my rotation and watching for sprays on my other screen. That and fester gut are what i'm making an intro for rrriiiiggghhht now.

Edit: Iike making intros....

Edit again! damn Video editor has me so distracted.... I prolly have quite a few world firsts if you look at the achievements... I don't raid while not multiboxed(4 at the least for all the ones I count as me doing it I've healed with some alts and dpsed plenty of things but those are "fun" or "for friends" my shamans are my serious thingy).

[Fursphere]

You said "grab a mouse" - you a hardware boxer?

[Nejcha]

You kids and your fancy software *shakes her cane*

I have bolth. With that said...

<3 hardware.

Whats the best advice you can give aspiring multiboxers that want to raid?

We have a TON of boxers in guild, and the most common thing I see is most refuse to do the "gear up" leg work of farming heroics, farming rep for shoulder enchants and properly doing the very basic min / maxing or even the basic learning which stats to prioritize. I've raided solo for years and I've boxed a few raids (nothing huge) and I've always taken raiding very seriously and when it came to gearing my boxing team, I geared them as best I could to be "raid ready". I wish more people would do the leg work instead of "I see X raiding Y instance, I can too without the work!"

[Nejcha]

Oh do I, Mr. Svpernova09. I've been multibox raiding since BC I use to be vocal about it till a couple years ago when I realized no one cares unless it's arena, and I was never so good as to be amazing at that. So I have been waiting for this moment for far to long.

I run my own raids. I have to, most serious raiders on my server still considers me a joke. So out side of my current 10, everything I do is basicly with a big pug of people willing to "waist" their time with my nonsense. Considering I have like 3 other people in my guild who raid... ya... I do it in a pug : P I suffered hard in togc with the easy epics of toc I couldn't hardly get any one to follow me into the depths of 25togc. My server doesn't spawn the most... intelligent raiders.

Now most of my pugs regulars will tell you one of many wonderful things about me. The one that keeps some folks actually thinking I'm worthwhile as a raider is. It's like raiding with 4 people who show up, flasked, potting every fight kicking butt on dps and not bitching. (not to mention I have lots of gems for people... bribes help)

If you can make that image for you and your other multiboxers... Well who woudn't want you... They'd be crazy... or just jerks.

So that with that little story, I'd say it's 80% attitude and 20% farming your ass off for gear.

Little rant aside... the whole thing about minmaxing and knowing your class kinda go hand and hand with attitude.

I don't let a non-boxer or boxer(I raid with a couple others from feathermoon) in my raid with out enchants, epic gems, and the ability to speak about the gear choices they have made with out saying the words "i level" 50 times.

I'd always be happy to talk less in a text sences since it's not my strong point. I'm good on vent people tell me.

I understand being a joke. I left Madoran to come to Kil'Jaeden so I wouldn't get laughed out of a raid instance. I raid solo on a "main" for the sheer pleasure of seeing content and working with a team. Everything I see in my solo raids also helps to translate to how to box it. It's nice to see someone doing this when the entire multiboxing world (outside of fotm arena) is pretty stagnant.

First two months on my server I couldn't be in a major town with at least 10 /spits. Now I get allot of cheers and a few playful jests... that took a well over a year of hard PR work on my part.

One of the things that helps is my utter refusal to single box anything. People want me they get the whole shaman deal or I walk.

Now does this effect my progression. Yes. I have to put up with dk's who do under 3k dps in t9.5 so I can carry half a 25 on my back through raids. But do I do it all eventually, that would also be a yes.

Thanks some one actually giving me props is very nice.

I've been hoping putting all my videos together would inspire some other folks for cata to take up the raiding banner.

[Nejcha]

Also... one of the things that helped is I haven't let people stop me from multiboxing. People clame "You can't multibox X or Y fight." or the dreaded on a new fight "I'd be easier with 3 other people in your clones place." Most of them I prove the first one wrong (4tower FL each shaman doing something different hell yes.) The other some one who raids with me often will say "Find 3 other players as good as her and we'll talk." (that makes me feel special)

The point is we can be effective raiders just like all of wow though only 8% of raiders are those special raiders so not every one's got their head on the right way to do it. Not saying I'm special, just saying the people who downed Lich King last week, they have a attitude that say I don't.

I've gotten some interviews from a few my raiders since nax... they some some real interesting things about raiding with multiboxers every week.
