First MultiBox Instance Run

[jrkilroy]

I took my 5 box team (Pally, Shammy, Mage 3x) into Ragefire Chasm for the first time over the weekend and it was SWEET!

I kind of sandbagged it; I waited until I was level 18 (I wanted the pally taunt) but I only had one death and cleared the entire instance. Each of my toons made about 2 levels and change. I haven't had that much fun in WoW in quite a while!

The next day I tried Wailing Caverns. Not quite the same success, I had to skip the last boss because I wiped and the first area in the instance had respawned (I had forgotten how loooooong the early instances were).

What I learned:
1.) Take the time to build/test a crowd control macro (check the wiki) before running an instance.
2.) When multiboxing, you aren't going to use as many keys as you do when playing solo: Tank button, DPS Button, Crowd Control button, Healing.
3.) Lag is the party killer. Lag is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my lag. I will permit to pass over me and through me...
4.) Wailing Caverns taught me that Blizzard really has come a long way in instance building. My fond memories of 4+ hour non-raid dungeon runs are mostly nostalgia.

All in all, a good time was had!

grats!
btw, even if you have your full group make sure you use the Random LFG instance and take advantage of the bag of spoils ;-)

One of the nicest feelings I remember. The continued realization that you can play without dealing with other people.

Congratulations!

The first time my group hit WC, I remember being completely horrified - every team I'd ever been on through there failed horribly in the past, and it had been at least a year since I was in there - but once you pull it off it's great!
