Easiest Heroic Cata Dungeon to multibox

[Bollwerk]

Can anyone confirm if SFK and VP are still the easiest heroics? I'm wondering if any hotfixes or patches have made these harder, or others easier.

Yes, they are. I can confirm that. I had them on farm now for awhile, and really not much changed with content patch that made them impossible to complete.

Not to hijack this thread or anything, but I am now 4/9 in terms of heroics (VP, SFK, BRC. AND HOO) and with the new changes to the random heroics I really want to increase the number under my belt so that I am able to start getting those valors with my team.

So the question is: What next? Any of the other 5 (deadmines, grim batol, throne of tides, lost city, and stonecore) 5-manable and any farmable? My team ilevel is 350

I think if you just want to farm for the valor points Thone of Tides is pretty good too, you only need to do first and last boss to complete the daily there.

I've been able to get everything but Grim Batol (sigh!) and Stonecore on farm by about iLvl 346 - once you start pushing towards 350 things are a bit more forgiving.

From your list I'd suggest progressing through your remaining heroics in this order:
Lost City - first guy is all about dragging him around the room and keeping alts out of mines, I find its actually easier (and a lot slower) to do this with 3 toons rather than all 5. The remaining bosses are just varying levels of gear checks it seems.

Throne of Tides - Again, first boss is the one you'll likely spend the most time learning. Key for me was to get the adds sheeped ASAP in P2 transition and again, keep moving around the room due to water spouts.

Deadmines - I love this instance, but it took a good 2+ hours to get the reaper encounter figured out

stonecore
Grim Batol

Fuck Deadmines in the ass. Seriously could there be a more melee unfriendly fight than the second boss?

Thanks for the feedback!

The first boss in Lost City is driving me nuts. I have been sifting through these forums and the consensus is it is a matter of luck with no real strat to bring him down, and I can say I have not been lucky

The problem with some of these encounters is that we need to micromanage movement on the alts, which is really difficult. Does anyone have feedback on how to do this? I tried swapping screens, macroing movement with toggles, but they have proven not reliable.

Another pain is some of the fights require to actually do 2-3 things at the same time. The last boss in GB is the perfect example. In normal you have one add to worry about but on heroics you have two and the boss that keeps doing his own mechanics while you need to neutralize the adds. One thing I tried on normal was tank the boss with the healer focused on healing the tank and send my mage on to dps down the add assisted by the remaining 2 toons. Sometimes, it works and when it does it is beautiful but sometimes it doesn't....

Mind sharing how you box this? =)

Im getting ready for normal dungeon spamming, once some issues are sorted, really looking forward to taking on dungeon soloing with my team.
