10 box raiding

[Mercurio]

Theradin,

Great work. I've done a few things as a 10-boxer, but you have excelled far beyond what I've had patience for.

Really looking forward to the 10-man ToC videos.

BTW, I've been told that you don't need melee DPS for Lady Deathwhisper in ICC10. If you can get the adherants down within the first 8 seconds after they spawn they will never get the chance to be empowered. It has been done.

The other question I'd have for you on the Lady fight - I certainly understand not 10-boxing with a mix of melee in your crew, but no hunters? Hunters do a very nice job on adherants.

Keep it up!

No hunters because mostly I've been too lazy level up something new and I really enjoy the synergy of caster groups. That said, I do now have a level 80 hunter that I've been gearing up, though I'm finding it a bit too nuanced for multiboxing.

I decided to give Deathwhisper a serious attempt without physical DPS earlier today and managed to pass phase 1 without the physical DPS. Although I couldn't kill the adherents ( when 2 spawn ) in under 8 seconds, using stuns and healing through the D&D ( D&D has a tendency to appear when I need to be killing adherents ) ended up working. I hope to have the kill when next I make more attempts.

Interesting. I have hunters in half my groups and they do great DPS and provide a few other benefits like misdirect. I run all mine Survival so they give replinishment as well (though your frost mage covers that for your 10-man team). For an example of how I've specced mine, see Arghon on Magtheridon-US.

Also, the /click is most complex for my survival hunters, but it works very well once set up. I'm out of town currently, but would be glad to send you my long /click I use for them once I get back to my computer if you are interested.

BTW, what server do you play on?

I play on Madoran.

I appreciate the offer of the macro and I'd be interested in seeing it, though I plan on retiring my hunter. What I dislike about my hunter is that it appears to require proactive threat management ( though multiple misdirects might cure that ), there's a minimum range for bow fire, and any pet I've picked really likes to die. ( Putting the pet on passive doesn't seem viable, since pets contribute so much damage ) Then, too, I'm missing some key physical DPS debuffs like sunder.

They are fun to solo play, though!

You're kidding?! A bunch of us left Madoran [Alliance] and headed over to Kil'jaeden to hang with a bunch of other boxers. Can't believe I missed a 10 boxer walking around.

I knew there were a number of boxers around on Madoran, but I hadn't realized they'd left. I'm kind of sorry to hear that. The last time I ran into a non-guilded boxer was while leveling, shortly after WotLK came out, in the Howling Fjord. I keep mostly to my guild and you'll almost never catch my ten box team out and about out of a raid unless at a summoning stone, mostly because I don't care for the attention ten boxing attracts.
