Team Beeq - 5 mages vs TBoT10 trash

[beeq]

Today I started to try if I can down 5man heroic bosses, so far Corborus and Slabhide downed in Stonecore heroic, also Augh with his crocomate went down quite easily in The lost city of Tol'vir.

dps @ Slabhide 114200.2 dps. fight took 36 seconds

high priestress azil, the last boss in stonecore hc gave her life away very fast, there were no rockthrowing phase

Glubtok in DM died while casting flame wall, so 4x ready for raiding -achievement for the slaves
Helix Gearbreaker downed as well :P

.. so died Foe Reaper..

Pulled with Arcane Blast, had broadcasting on, walked backwards while putting images out. then spellstole shield , time warp, talented mana gem and nuked all out. Used Ice Block -macro at first (and last) paralyze, spellstole shield again and nuked him down.

How are you clearing the trash in Bot before the Phase Twisters ? I tried it with my mage and was torn apart.

Im referring to the 3 large packs of nasty mobs before you can get too phase twisters.

I think you didn't watch the video? If you did, I'm sorry since it's speeded up a lot.

Shortly about the pulls:

First pack

pre-focus and sheep three mobs on the right. Left mob can't be sheeped so after three sheeps, tag an aggro with Arcane Barrage x5 on left mob with all your toons. Then walk backwards (with broadcasting) while put your mirror images to hold the threat while bursting that mob down.

When the first mob is dead, resheep and take distance to the mobs and start nuking the melee or healer one.
You need to have rotations on spells such as Frost Nova, Cone of Cold (optional: talented for 4sec freeze) and Counterspell. Also Improved Polymorph is very awesome talent when doing this!

Have broadcasting on, so when you walk backwards with your main toon, the others will do that as well. And then just dps that melee or healer (interrupt heals and the stun spell), and before they walk to your team, freeze them, and shoot Arcane Blast+Arcane Barrage, then walk backwards again, another freeze and rinse repeat..

Remember to resheep between each kill. Then you should have crossfire mob left, wait for your mirror images cd and when it's ready, have distance to crossfire mob and shoot her with Arcane Blast+Arcane Barrage and then start walking backwards while put your mirror images for taking all the arrows, then just burst the bugger down.

Second pack (the faster one)

Wait for your Mirror Images cd while on your slave toons pre-focusing all mobs on that pack except the middle one (which can't be rooted). Check the video where you should stand on pull, also make sure you don't pull 2 packs. Cast Presence of Mind on all your toons for instant sheeping, but click it away from your main toon, since your main isn't sheeping anything.

When you're ready, cooldowns are gone etc, wait in that spot and shoot Arcane Barrage to that non-focused mob (the middle one) and they all start to run towards your team. Don't panic, just walk backwards again, wait till the whole pack have reached the stairs (or bottom of the stairs) and hit your sheep button to sheep those 4 mobs at once instantly (PoM).

One mob is still running at you so keep on walking backwards while put your mirror images out, they will hold the threat again and you can dps that bugger down (remember to use broadcasting to move all your toons at the same time, and walk away from that twirling thing on the ground, that hurts.)

When you have killed that "middle mob", go resheep and start killing the rest of the pack (except crossfire ones). When you have just crossfire (or 2) left as sheeps, wait for your mirror images cd and keep them sheeped.

When all cooldowns are gone again, and if you have two crossfire mobs sheeped, then shoot the first one with Arcane Blast and immediately second one with Arcane Barrage, both sheeps will break, and you start walking backwards again with broadcasting and put the mirror images out again, so they will take the damage from the arrows and stuff, then just burst them down one by one.

Third pack

If you managed to kill Second pack, this one won't be any harder, just repeat everything as with Second pack.

Hope this helped, I've been thinking to create another video, just my computer performance isn't suitable for running fraps with 5 clients, gonna figure that out later.

Thank You kindly for your detailed reply, yes I watched the video but forgot about it as I was mostly watching the 2nd Video on page 3 lol

My issue is sheeping, re-sheeping, only way I know at this point how too, is I manually target a mob on each toon, then I hit my number pad 1 and it sheeps them all, so if I had too re-sheep 2-4 mobs in a hurry im screwed as I would have too flick each window to do so lol

You cannot 'target skull' but you can have each character pre-focus one mob (with a multiplexer you can have the main target, then slave. Then they just /cast [@focus, nodead, harm] hex or whatever you want.

/assist #master#
/focus /script SetRaidTarget(“focus”,8)

0 = no icon
1 = Yellow 4-point Star
2 = Orange Circle
3 = Purple Diamond
4 = Green Triangle
5 = White Crescent Moon
6 = Blue Square
7 = Red “X” Cross
8 = White Skull

I dont understand this, what is a mutliplexer ?

How are you sheeping your mobs so fast ?

Also how geared ilvl and hit rating were your mages when you first started Bot trash farming ?

For crowd controlling I have these macros.

For focusing:

Main mage (Shift+F1) (this is binded only to main window)
#showtooltip polymorph
/clearfocus [target=focus,dead]
/focus [target=focus,noexists]
/script SetRaidTarget("focus", 1)

Slave mage 1 (Shift+F2) (this is binded only to slave 1 window)
/assist Beeq
#showtooltip polymorph
/clearfocus [target=focus,dead]
/focus [target=focus,noexists]
/script SetRaidTarget("focus", 2)

Slave mage 2 (Shift+F3) (this is binded only to slave 2 window)
/assist Beeq
#showtooltip polymorph
/clearfocus [target=focus,dead]
/focus [target=focus,noexists]
/script SetRaidTarget("focus", 3)

Slave mage 3 (Shift+F4) (this is binded only to slave 3 window)
/assist Beeq
#showtooltip polymorph
/clearfocus [target=focus,dead]
/focus [target=focus,noexists]
/script SetRaidTarget("focus", 4)

Slave mage 4 (Shift+F5) (this is binded only to slave 4 window)
/assist Beeq
#showtooltip polymorph
/clearfocus [target=focus,dead]
/focus [target=focus,noexists]
/script SetRaidTarget("focus", 5)

For sheeping:

Sheep (L) (this is FTL DPS key, binded to all windows)
/cast [target=focus]Polymorph
/stopmacro [nogroup]

For clearing focus frames:

Clearfocus (O) (this is FTL DPS key, binded to all windows)
/clearfocus

How it works?
Main mage selects any mob.
key push: Shift+F1 (The mob is now focused by main mage, and the mob have mark Star above)

Main mage selects any other mob.
key push: Shift+F2 (Slave mage 1 assists Main mage. The mob is now focused by Slave mage 1, and the mob have mark Circle above)

and so on..

when you have 5 marks on mobs, you can simply press your sheep macro (I have it on 'L'-key) and all focused mobs will turn into fluffy sheeps. Now when you nuke any target, the focused mobs will stay in focus, and pressing sheep-key will resheep them.



And something to show off from today's Stonecore heroic run, Ozruk didn't agree to die today.
