A funny conversation while multiboxing in eots

[cepheus]

[opt]

im really sick of these idiots. They just dont get the hint, espessially in something like eots. They just follow u and watch, i tell them to go do something because u cant tie up too many people in the same area and they dont understand. I thought dealing with the community would get easier when you got to 70 but every fucking BG you have to justify yourself to some random, grr <vent> its soooo anoying. Once in a blue moon you get someone who understands boxing.

Almost exactly the reaction I get with my Priest/4 Warlock team as well.

Cepheus...HOW DID YOU FARM BADGES OF JUSTICE!

My god man. The cloak alone is 60 badges!

Glad you specced Demo after all this. That's what I'm running with my locks at the moment. I'd be interested to hear about your strats in WSG and AB. EOTS and AV are not bad as far as honor is concerned. But the other two BG's are just not worth it to me. Painful.

[Skuggomann]

Manaburner i helped him out :P (well only for 5 bages but still XD)

Well, I have usually cleared karazhan each week for some months now. So that gives me a fair share of badges got a bit over 100 atm, saving 150 for the mainhand when the new badge vendor spawns. I also do heroics together with a prot pally sometimes.

I was affliction before, but recently specced demo. Love the demospec for pvp Felguards can in most cases easly kill a player by them selves while I'm dotting and seeding around :P

As for my tactics:

AV: Usually defend. Starting out with aoe-frenzy at galvanger. Put down both frostwolf and horde battlestandard for some ekstra dmg and hp. Sometimes it fails, but often it works incredible well and I kill 10-15 allys by myself Remember to spam massdispel and PoM. After they give up galvanger I go and recap towers.

EotS: Here I usually start off by rushing magetower. Your best bet is to get all the way into the tower (use trinket if someone slows/traps you) Here you will even out the odds by forcing the opponets together and you can dot/fear them or seed if there are many. Still remember to spam masdispell/PoM if you hare getting zerged by many, its amazingly efficiant to keep you up. After they give up MT I usually rund around and cap bases as fast as I can. In most cases you will be able to cap bases faster than the enemy and it does not really matter if you leave them undefended.(allthough your team-mates might complain)

AB: I agree this isnt the ideal multibox BG. I usually avoid it, but if I do it, I focus on defending lm,bs and farm by standing in the crossroads inbetween them for fast responding. If everything else fails, just cap bases as fast you can. If you have a friend or two with you to help report and guide you it will hel ALOT.

WSG: This BG just suck. I never do it unless I need marks. If I do it it will be in a full guild-premade. Yet to figure out a good tactic. I think it usually will be best to stay and defend, so you have the graveyard nearby if one of your guys should die.



Skuggo: yea that was some run

Cepheus:

Thank you!

I really appreciate how you have outlined your tactics as they probably took you months to acquire. You have an uncanny ability to anticipate what the enemy will do before it even crosses his mind. Bravo.

For alliance, unfortunately, the battle standards do not stack. I can only drop the Stormpike one or the Alliance one, I can't have both. Believe me, I wish I could. Now that Horde cannot get to Balinda before I arrive, I usually end up hanging around outside and waiting until they engage then come in and start seed after trinketing/laying down battle standards. It's quite a sight.

I tried Kara yesterday and managed to get 15 badges. It was... interesting. It's funny how no one catches on that you are controlling more than one character and they wonder where the AOE came from when there's no mage around. I ended up just using imps because everyone complained that their stamina was too low and that I was drawing aggro too quickly. The paladin forgot to bless salv on my characters and the shaman put down windfury instead of tranquil air. Very frustrating. In the end I logged off cursing and hearthed after maiden went down. I gave all my soulstones to the paladin tank. He used them all.

[cepheus]

Ah, I dint catch that you were alliance. Sadly I have no experience fighting av from the Alliance side, so I cant help you much there. Not sure if defending ballinda works quite as well as defending galvanger, since galvanger gives you some better cover against melee attackers (thats usually your greatest problem), but it might work. Strange that ally battlestandards does not stack. I havent done any testing, but I see both my battlestandard buffs, so I assume the horde standards stack. One problem you might get in theese aoe-frenzys however is fear. As horde I have wotf,trinket and fearward+massdispel. But I think it would be a lot harder without wotf.

As for kara, I allways do this in guildruns with teamspeak, and usually with close friends that I play with a lot so they know exactly how my boxing works. To clear kara (with the exeption of netherspite) took me some time to figure out good tactics for everything. But now when I know how I'm going to do it, and I have made good macros specifically for karazan encounters, a run usually takes under 4 hours to complete even with breaks/slacking. Just say if you need some hints on any specific kara encounters, and I can probably help you out. Its also worth mentioning that I spec my priest shadow for karazhan since that gives the locks a fair increase in dps.

[marvein]

if only there was a typed command you could do like /spam <playername> make it really easy to reportx5

[Manaburner]

*smacks head*

I never thought of speccing my priest shadow!
Now that I think of it, since I have a dedicated group a shadow priest with 4 locks would be so synergistic that it would hurt. I do have 2 priests and the shadow priest is a dwarfie with 900+ damage so I can switch him out at will.

Thanks for the pointers Ceph. And yes, defending Balinda is quite easy and fun. I've had so many /tells from opposing horde logging in and making a level 1 alt congratulating me and cursing me at the same time.

A while ago I was regretting the priest+4locks party in favor of the shaman team. After wiping 6 waves of horde without drinking I gave up that regret real fast. There is no way I would have lasted that long with any other group.
