Multiboxing old raids

[Acidburning]

As a 5-boxer lvl 85, would you say doing 10-man Lich-raids are easier than 25-man BC-raids?

Just tried Sunwell plateau and really got my butts kicked at two first bosses.
Also had some troubles in Black temple and gave up at those quad-bosses, The Illidari Council.

BT Illidari Council, just stay on Lady. Burn her down until they BOP her, keep burning, once the BOP is gone, get some interrupts towards the end, keep burning, /loot

No, imo, Lich 10 man is harder than BC 25 man.

Sunwell, first boss. Have tank pull dragon and just stand there meleeing. Then I wait with my shammies for first portal, wen it spawns I alt tab and get all 4 shams down there. I dps the shadow guy to 0, the shammies com eback up top, then kill the dragon. Easy as that.

Second boss just dps and burn. Heal the tank after every meteor strike. If start taking heaps of dmg, bubble (my tank is a pally) to reset the debuff, taunt, and continue dpsing.

BT - Illidari counci. Pop hero, pop elementals, burn th epally til all dead, thats it. Don't need to move from aoe or anything.

As a 10-boxer, I haven't had any trouble soloing any of the following:
(and I run most of them multiple times each week since I have four 10-box teams):

Classic
Molten Core
Blackwing Lair
Runis of Ahn'Qiraj

Burning Crusade
Karazhan
Gruul's Lair
Magtheridon's Lair
The Eye
Serpentshire Cavern (though help of Lay Vashj is helpful)
Mount Hyjal
Black Temple
Sunwell

Wrath
Naxx25 (except for KT - only attempted him solo once)
Eye of Eternity10
Ulduar10 + all hard modes (except Yogg - he requires a bit of help from friendly guildies)
ICC10 (except Lich King)

Cataclysm
BWD - just Omnitron Defense, since it drops some druid shoulders for one of my xmog sets

Transmogrification is a boxer's dream.

Sorry for sounding stupid now, but you mean there is a portal at first boss so I can choose which chars to kill that demon with?
When I played I just noticed some of my chars suddenly were at another place and assumed it was random.
I gave up and after 3rd attempt and managed to get past the dragon.

At boss #2 my slaves died. Is there some kind of aoe damage to watch out for?

The ifrst char that goes down is chosen at random, but where he gets sent down, a portal opens up, and you can alt tab and go right click with any char to go down and help. You only get a short time to do this in though. But 4 dpsers down inside should be able to kill the demon no worries.

2nd boss does 2 things you should worry about, A fire dot and a meteor slash (p much exactly the same as BH first boss). The fire dot spreads so you have to spread your team, and the slash is a frontal cleave. Don't get your dpsers hit by the cleave and the dot shouldnt worry you at all.

Also, note that you can skip the first boss in Sunwell. Either hug the shrubs and go around never aggroing him or just keep running forward and he'll eventually disappear.

Hi all!

New multiboxer here wondering if anyone has a decent strategy for Lady Vashj for a mixed team?

This week i've cleared Tempest Keep, Black Temple, Mount Hyjal, Sunwell Plateau. I just can't down the Lady!

Prot Pally | Fire mage | Arcane Mage | Demo Lock | Holy Priest

skeezy,

For Dreamwalker, I just set up

/tar Val
/castsequence healabunch, healabunch more (I set up macros to get Riptide, Renew, Serenity, etc to roll well if the button gets spammed)

macros for 3 of my toons.

I use the other seven to kill stuff. I just mash the heal button and ignore the portals untill the encounter ends.

One minor thing that helps - spread your three healers slightly and take them off follow so they don't all get hit if the mob with AOE knockup gets his spell off - reduces incoming damage a bit.

Hello,

Thanks for all the tips. I'm currently testing some of them in old raids. Have downed OS3D with help from my GF who heals on her priest. I play a Blood DK with 4 ele shammies. One is in healer gear when soloing dungeons.

We tried Kael'Thas yesterday but kept wiping during Mind Control in phase 4. I just can't figure out what to do. All toons except maybe one dps and my tank gets MC'ed and I cant break it. We tried equipping the Infinity Blade on one Shammie and on the priest but those two both got MC'ed every time. When the MC runs out all toons get MC'ed again, which inevitably leads to tank death as there is no healing. Shammie totems + Blood DK healing apparently isn't enough, or maybe I'm doing something wrong.

How do you get around it? I didn't think about popping Army of Dead, maybe that will soak up some of the MC, and then I can break the rest with the Infinity blade. 30 seconds of DPS should take her to phase 5 which should be fairly easy.

Thanks in advance.

Ixe
