messy af windowed boxing team

[simpletom]

Wanted to give you guys an update on where I'm at so after a long ride through Azeroth I'm finally at Outlands, I made the decision to skip questing for now and try dungeons to 70, mostly to save on losing Reputation on quests and also give me a great way to make gold at 70. As mentioned before my realm is now nearly completely dead, there's not a single Horde guild doing any raiding, there's more bots than actual players. The bots are the ones actually keeping the AH alive. Occasionally they mess up or something and list 80 stacks of Knothide leather at 20s buyout, its kinda bizarre. I've joined the paladin into a guild I wasn't sure what the reaction to me boxing would be I was very discreet about it but it came down to people asking how on earth I could find groups for dungeons on our dead server. I've also joined into it with my 70 Druid and helping guilds where possible. Its a very and I mean VERY small community but at least its friendly.

Clearing SM with Paladin as Tank (having a level 58 Resto shaman helps, can't use ES till target is 40+ though)






I leveled 30-58 through questing and doing a dungeon run at least once for the quests, it kept me sane and wasn't too grindy and has been a lot of fun.

When questing I was just leaving the Shaman out of the party so that the xp wasn't nerfed too hard but could still be useful and get familiar with the set up. I started bringing the shaman back into the group around Ungoro level 53ish it just made sense to pick up the extra XP where possible, Shaman hit 61 as the others hit 58. Then I decided to have a go at Ramparts, my paladin found parts of BRD a challenge so I was pretty sure Ramparts would be impossible at fresh 58 so I decided to bench her in favor of the 70 Feral and ran Ramps,






there was still some learning curves, funny enough I've been reading some old posts from 2008 on here I'm not surprised by how many people struggled with Ramparts. I did BM solo on my druid to help out some guildies, I think given how fast that instance flows it will be very nearly impossible with my set up, will save it for 70. My goal is still to clear every dungeon with this team. I am really hoping that the hunters DPS really increases either when they hit 60 or when I get steady shot at 62 or this is going to be painful, as you can see the druid is basically carrying the group at the moment.

Will keep you updated more frequently as the challenge has started to ramp up (pun get it?)

Cheers

Got the pun and glad to see the team and grats on progress. Druid is easier to gear and can be a pretty simple brute force tank but I think your Paladin will be better pure tank at cap when you get toward BiS gear though the Druid may give the team more DPS with talents...

I do hope the 3 hunters as DPS work well at cap (looking forward to hearing once at 70 with 4 piece set/etc as some have reported lackluster from boxing classic TBC hunters).

I like that you have 3 Hybrid options between Paladin, Druid, & Shaman as that lets you contrast/compare multiple tanks and healers (and at least in theory some DPS options).

From your willingness to help folk run dungeons and what not I think someone like you would be a great team member for any guild.
