How do you deal with all the hatred towards multiboxers?

40+ boxxers

Post-Wrath, spells would do full value hitting 10 targets or less and, when hitting more than 10, the total value of the damage done would be divided by the number of targets. In vanilla area damage caps were hard values so mass boxing will be less effective due to being much more susceptible to AE burst.

For example, the area damage cap on rank 10 arcane explosion is 37500 divided between targets hit (937 damage per character in a stack of 40.) Effectively, it just does full damage regardless of the number of targets because you're not going to hit for 900+ with arcane explosion.

So a 5 boxer could potentially wipe a 40 boxer if you can get a good initiation. One character to AE stun with a grenade then 4 x GSC and a CoC shatter is like 4500+ AE damage in 1-2 GCD's.

not to derail this thread, but do we know for certain that instants like arcane blast/coc/fireblast will get the shatter crit buff when they hit simultanously from multiple mages?

EDIT: Just remembered that even if you wiped but didn't release and watched your DOTs wipe the 10th of 10 Shaman you will could still have 10 to face when you come back due only 1 of those shaman self-rezing and then rezing the rest... It takes only 20 seconds to get 4 of them up and only 30 seconds to get 8 of them back up... They are worse than cockroaches!

and on top of that you farm 10x rebirth totem to have 30 min cd (specced) which is 1 ankh/3 minutes with 10 shamans

Spell batching works in our advantage as a boxer since our casts are all within milliseconds of each other. Spells are almost guaranteed to be processed in the same batch even if the first spell that hits technically broke the nova they will all shatter.
