Ugh.

Your children.

I will bear them.

I GOT AHUNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Couldn'a done it with you matey. Thanks so much for the tips. I practically leapt outta my chair when he died (on the THIRD Phase 2.... lol).

It was ugly, I was mashin' keys I was runnin' like a chook with my heat cut off - but I don't care coz

I GOT AHUNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS: Sorry Kate for hijacking this thread a bit, but...

I GOT AHUNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YAY!!! Stellar work - I hope to do the same once I get some time. Yesterday evening I wound up not being in the proper frame of mind for multiboxing, so I ran more PUGs (which, it turns out, have gotten SOOOOO MUCH BETTER since I'm playing as a tank, have instant queues, and if people start acting like assholes I can kick them quickly) and got my fortified clutch.

I'm gonna do what I can on Ahune and some bosses that drop things I really want, mainly because I just want to practice so I'm ready for future dungeons, but I'm not going to worry *too* much about gearing up since Cata's beta started. I figure I'll get myself the cloth chest & shoulders for my alts and their leveling.

Kate,

I am far from the best multi-boxer on the site, but I can assure you... it WILL get better with gear and practice. One thing I have noticed, different heroics seem to lend themselves to different playstyles. There are some heroics others say are faceroll that I just CANNOT get thru, then there are others I find extremely easy that others have a hard time with. Stick with it, and it will come.

As I said, I am by no means an expert, but if you have any questions, feel free to fire me a message and I'll be glad to help however I can.


@Oz : Congrats !!! I tried Ugh's strat yesterday on Ahune, and even though it got me a LOT farther than my previous attempts, I have yet to down that big Icy bugger. Great Work.

Yep I agree and not only different playstyles but different group compositions make things easy or hard. Of course gear too- team composition means quite a bit. Like Ugh did Ahune practically naked and I think that proved a point.

Ahune was very hard for me at first... Was thinking this is going to really suck if I can't get this done since it was the last thing to get my violet proto. After 3 hours of practice the first day I now one shot it every day now. Practice practice practice!

Another thing too is don't feel rushed. Once you kill the big frost elemental the beginning of each wave you have all the time in the world. The little adds don't hit hard enough to be that big of a problem. When the Frozen Core pops go all out DPS and you'll get it over halfway most likely. Then back off when he's about to resurface and handle the next wave taking as much time as yo need. By the time the second core pops you should be able to dps it the rest of the way.

Main thing is killing the big elemental guys at the beginning of the waves. Then it's relax and handle the adds.

Thanks - I'll keep that in mind as I get my alternate teammates geared up. I'm thinking I might swap out 2 of the rets (or 3) for a shaman & priest, and if I take out 3 ret, a druid.

i've found that the ahune encounter went much easier for me by using seal of wisdom, moving around a little bit, and casting only divine storm, and consecrate to take out the little waves of adds and for the hailstone big add what i ended up doing was blowing divine shield(the half dmg bubble) and divine sacrifice on my prot pally, then burning it down.

Lol albeit my pallys are more geared than the average it seems, but i've gotten to the point now that i TRY to get hit by the spikes as this way i can farm snowballs (you get pockets full of snow for getting hit by the spikes lol)

i agree with the "dont feel rushed" portion that was stated earlier, the only thing you NEED to do is to kill the hailstone quick and use your defensive cooldowns to survive him, then its all a matter of dancing in consecrate, divine storming, and managing your mana and casting heals whenever you proc an instant heal

@kate, you should totally get yourself the ilvl 245 crafted bracers for your tank! they only cost 8 titansteel bars 20 saronite bars and 4 crusader orbs, and you can save up for all that easily or use a few badges to get them (the orbs). The rest of the mats can be gathered super cheap to make the titansteel

good luck with it all =D

Well, if its your first group of toons to multibox, melees are very hard to start with

I myself did a pally team first as well, they were fun to level, but at heroics it became hard for a very long time.. until they got decent gear. After that, it was pure fun. Also when you know how to handle all the bosses. Melee multiboxing groups play completely different to tank + ranged. You need completely different tactics. You need to handle interact with target (and it's bugs), and you need to handle aoe situations. As like Utgarde, where you need to get your pallies away from the dark warcry of the last boss).

I for example added a button, which sets follow to the healer. So, if a crisis situation is coming up, i hit that button, and all of my melee pallies run to the healer to safety.

Another way is to add a key to let every melee run to a direction, or even bind keys to the damage dealers only for movement.

My Pallies are done currently. Got all the equip available thru heroics. I dont raid, so doin heroics will set an end to any evolution of my teams :-)

If a team or char is done, i start a new single char or a new team. Currently i am leveling a team made out of 4 Warriors and a druid. Much fun as well. And charge is nice to prevent the interact-with-target problems

To not get burned out, i switch between boxin and single char playing.
