Multiboxing has certainly gained a higher level of awareness with Ellay's successes in the arena...

That thread was a great read for bed

I think the biggest key is that people who haven't boxed think it's easy, and kind of slough off the difficult aspects, or they heighten the things that work well to far above the level of value that they have.

For instance, the fascination with synchronization of attacks and burst damage. It's there to a degree, but it isn't instanteous for a boxer either. It's not uncommon for me to be clearly connected to different server player process when running in a box, just by virtue of the failures that occur, so world processing of attacks synched on the client aren't necessarily processed at exactly the same time according to the world (assuming all traffic actually took the same route). Other things like inventory queries, on the other hand, seem to be bottlenecked. However, this advantage is hyped to the point of raw invincibility and cannot be matched by any human player. It's always some supposed advantage.

I wouldn't really knock the guy, though. I think he still clings to his core ideas, but yeah, he's been open to talking about actual solutions. I guess it's his first experience with this kind of thing.

I was pretty happy to see how fast people replied shooting down the "botting" and "cheating" accusations. It definitely seems the WoW community is becoming much more aware of the subject of multi-boxing.

Splitting[/url][/b]The most general way to stop a dedicated spike team is to force them to split between multiple objectives. Because spike teams are calibrated to deal just enough damage in a burst to kill their target, often a split spike cannot muster up the damage to score kills. When spikes do split, they often split all of the spikers onto one team and the healers onto another; this can be used to the advantage of the splitting team. Sending one or two team members off to another objective is often a hard situation for a spike build to keep control of.


Catching the spike 1/4 second healing skills such as Infuse Health can be used to "catch" spikes in progress. Removing the deep wound or predicting the target and applying damage-capping skills such as Protective Spirit and Spirit Bond also helps stop spikes from succeeding. Against ranger spikes or adrenaline spikes, skills that allow blocking such as Aegis and "Shields Up!" can also help significantly.


ShutdownSkills such as interrupts, knockdowns, Blackout, Diversion, or Guilt can be used to cut down part of the damage so the burst is insufficient to kill the target. Against ranger spikes or adrenaline spikes, blind or skills that cause the opponent to miss can be effective as well.

Suvega is probably thinking "I finally met "Miss Right"...I just didn't know her middle name is "Always". :P
