    Default Cata, Any 5-boxers (or other) on the PTR?

    Any multiboxers out there running dungeons on the PTR?
    A couple of my guildies reckon the new 5man dungeons will be impossible to multibox and I'm very keen to prove them wrong.
    I never multiboxed (or solo boxed) any of the BC heroic dungeons, and only 5 boxed the bc normal dungeons during wotlk, so I am curious as to how hard the Cata dungeons will be to multibox. Is it just standing back, assigning cc targets, then pulling? Over just running in and aoeing everything. Is it possible to brute force through it or are there mechanics to prevent that?
    Sorry, I don't want to check for vids just yet. I haven't decided if I want to run those dungeons with no prior knowledge or to research them first. No prior knowledge is more fun (at least until you've wiped 10 times) but researching would probably get me to 85 faster.
    Thanks for your time

    Depending on your group composition and your reaction time it is still doable. The days of single class teams blowing through heroics are over though till there is a severe outgearing

    Maybe, repentence doesn't just work on humanoids anymore... according to the new wowtal talents.

    SS DE. It may not be tank n spanks, but im sure they will be boxable, we just have to think outside of the box(es) lol. It would be interesting to hear first hand tho, but I doubt anyone has 5 beta accts just yet.

    Hrm, we did the first two dungeons with no cc. Just focus firing the right (and wrong targets). I wouldnt say it's not possible.

    People did shattered halls without CC, we can to just wait.

    If we could box ICC 5 mans with all the gimmicks then I have hope we'll be able to do Cataclysm dungeons.

    I've already began examining the videos of the dungeons with the videos out there. Lots and lots of gimmicks... But with proper macros many of the fights look doable from the very limited information available.

    We'll get it done somehow... Might not be a bad idea to level a few different classes to mix into your group.

    I'm finishing up leveling my old mage and have a priest I've been working on as well. My main team is a paladin tank + 4 druids. Have a rogue @ 80 also and plan to toss in my mage/rogue and priest (if needed) depending on the scenario.

    Going to be a feeling out process for us all to see what teams are working best.

    Most of the videos I watched they were nothing special. Stand here, dont stand in that, etc. A few bosses looked hard and then I realized that if I moved my casters as one unit it would be pretty easy(which is what I normally do.) It just looks like shit hits really hard so you cant afford for anyone but the tank to be hit. Granted everyone in the video is wearing quested stuff, so lets wait until we have crafted blues(or new season pvp gear for survival) before saying the world is ending.
