Melee-Cleave Boxing End Game Dungeons

[Purpleflavor]

I think Tauren have a melee range advantage too.

I wanted to go undead but they cant be shaman and i like my teams to all be the same race. Went orc for stun resist and dps racial.

@Quiding - do you still play your 4 warri + sham team? Is it faster/safer than a 4 mage + priest (or tank, 3 mage, heal) team regarding endgame farming?

What team did you enjoy most?

I rarely touch the warrior team, simply because the mage+priest team is faster and feels better in strath living.
I assume that's what you mean by endgame, because MC I'm not multiboxing, if I was I would assume mage+priest would also be easier.

Hows the gear compared to each other? I mean, warriors scale like crazy if they get some gear. Not saying that mages doesnt, but warriors are on a different planet compared.
And how much faster are we talking? Is the difference big enough that it would be worth to level up a new team and gear them up?

Cheers

I'll try to time a run.
But yeah my warriors are pretty well geared and it took a long time, mages also have most of their farming gear now after maybe 2 weeks of farming gear?
Been lucky with drops on mages, only really missing 4 Reeds and a few cloaks.

EDIT: 25 minutes on mages+priest with 2deaths and a few mistakes, old warrior video is 32min with Cannon Master, not spending time on him anymore though.
I still think mages+priest is fastest, is it worth rerolling Warrior team -> Mages... most likely not if strath living is your goal.

Would anyone be willing to help me setup my ISboxer to work with 4 warriors and 1 Hpriest? Could use someone who knows what they are doing...

Also, is it smarter to main healer and have your warrior on the 2,3,4,5 accounts and click to move?

Willing to pay! @quiding?

4 warriors and 1 Hpriest?

I don't know if you've already rolled/leveled this comp but I would probably avoid pairing Priest with Warriors if at all possible, which I can go into more detail on if you would like. If you're Alliance and don't have access to Shaman I would be thinking about swapping to a MMMMP comp. If you're set on a melee team then maybe 1 or 2 Paladins? There's discussion of that comp in this thread.

is it smarter to main healer and have your warrior on the 2,3,4,5 accounts and click to move?

Almost certainly with a melee team with four identical melee. You don't have to figure out a method to heal from a different client, you can just use a standard Clique setup. Also it saves a lot of hassle with things like dropping off the healer to drink while engaging with the Warriors.

Thank you so much for timing a run! Really appreciate it! Figure im just gonna stick with my warrior+shaman team then as my main character is a warrior that I raid with and therefore will be getting pretty insane gear on compared to some prebis mages.
And yes, strat live will be the go-to as orbs are always going to be needed. That and jump runs for crystals, especially now that bwl is so close. Prices for both crystals and bars will probably skyrocket (if they havent already) in price due to people needing em to get their TF's.

Also, have you stopped recording videos for youtube? Thought about streaming? Or maybe you're already streaming? Always enjoyed watching your videos. The first one I saw of you doing a BRD run on your old team is the reason I started boxing again myself.

And for @Calon, follow what @Helljumper01 said. Its a much better option than a priest if you want to go with a melee team as alliance.
For setups etc I recommend you watch all the tutorials by MiRai to get an understanding of how everything works. That way you can modify it to your own liking and change things around without having to find someone to help you each time you want to change a keybind.

Thank you guys! Both of your responses have been super helpful. I’ll have to look into the clique option.

I was watching Quidings video and loved how he was just playing his shaman basically and either had click to move and all warriors assisting his shamans or something else. It looked very smooth and I would like to replicate something like that.

Even if I was just rocking 4 warriors to help healer friends farm gear I could have all warriors assist the warrior I pick and act as such so I don’t have to worry about heals as much.

any recommendations in setting up ISBoxer to fit all of my current keybinds in now?

[nodoze]

Calon, Note that I don't think click-to-move is used by most people that much.

I believe the default keybind to enable follow for your team is Alt-F and most of the time you are moving on one character and following on the others and then when you want to engage the Warriors can charge in and then Interact-With-Target (IWT) or if charge is down (or you are in combat) I think when you press to attack a mob at distance the IWT coding moves the Warrior(s) to melee range to allow them to get the attack off so you don't really need to click to move.

There are multiple ways to approach it and it is good to practice driving from multiple characters just to give you different points of view and to determine what you like best (and to give redundancy if the character you are driving from dies in combat).

For me running 3Warriors+2Paladins no matter what character I was on I had to remotely get heals from at least one of my healers. I setup my VFX regions to actually appear on all 5 clients when they were in the ForeGround which included having a VFX to both healer's VuhDo party bars (though when on a healer I only had one sourced in from the other healer).

In the end I actually preferred driving from one Warrior and having the others, including both of my healers assist in attacking mobs and then I would heal from either healer from that Warrior (to max Mp5 I tended to use one healer until he was at 50% mana and then switch to the other unless the incoming damage was such that I needed both healers which was the case sometimes).

In the end driving & healing from the healer with the Warriors on auto-follow and then sending the warriors in to start engagements (either via charge or IWT running instead of click-to-move) is likely the best way to play as you have full command of you healer though to me it kinda felt like I was watching someone else do all the work that way... I liked it more when I drove from a Warrior as it felt like I was actually fighting the mob(s) in question but, especially when you have only 1 healer (and that healer stays out of melee range), it likely is smartest to drive from the healer.

[Calon]

Is IWT coding built into boxer or a macro I need to make?

sorry for all the dumb questions, very new to this and really want it to work.

Edit: I answered my own question. Looks like Interact with Target and click to move allows better movement as a warrior.

I guess a macro would be for all the warriors to assist the main one and then interact with that target etc.


Do we have any good macros set up already for warrior cleave?
