Multixboxing Heroics and Kara

[balrog78]

I know there are already some threads about this topic, but maybe you got more experience with the heroics now. What heroics do you think are the easiest one in terms of badges / hour? I am 3 boxing and my brother 2 boxing, we do Slave Pens in less then 75 minutes and the underbog in about 100 minutes. We tried Hellfire Ramparts but we just cant get the last boss down. And doing Hellfire Ramparts for only 2 badges takes too much time. We tried Botanica but the 3rd boss was really hard: do you think it is still good Badges/hour if just skipping the 3rd boss?
SV should be quite easy for us, since we are 3 + 2 boxing, what do you think?
How many toons can we bring to Kara without slowing down the raid too much? Doing Kara as single player only is rather boring Are there other raids where we could 2-box?

over the past few weeks ive just been filling in spots in kara, sometimes taking 2/3/4 characters each time, unfortunently my pve gear isnt the greatest and during long fights like prince im having to chug 3 pots on each character at least. But its really fun if you can get a group like 1 MT, 1 OT(fury warr/ret pal/feral druid with prot gear) 2 healers and 5 boxed dps and 1 other big dps puller like a lock or rouge. Well there the runs i enjoy moreso.
Unfortunently gearing ele shamans and a moonkin in kara doesnt work too well, tokens and the few items which are suited to your spec, but otherwise there just isnt alot there for my specs, so im mainly running for badges.
As for heroics, i still suck on them with my team, trying to run 5 dps in heroics is nowhere near as easy or as fun as ezmode instances.

5x shaman melt heroics if you know how to earthbind kite the big pulls... When I play just 4 and my g/f plays her mage it's even easier.

SV = 3 badges (40mins or so)
SP = 3 badges (30-45mins)
Ramparts= 3 badges (45min)
Blood Furnace = 3 badges (hour or so)
Sethekk halls = 2 badges (30-40mins)
Mana Tombs = 3 badges (45min)
Botanica = 5 badges (around an hour or so)
Mechanar=3 badges (4 if you do 2nd chick) about an hour or so
Shadow Labs=4 badges (1hr-1hr30min)

These are the ones I have on "farm" status. Others I've tried but haven't got them down to omg easymode badges.




*update slaughtered Mana Tombs today.
**update added in Blood Furnace and destroyed Ikiss.
***update added Shadow Labs and Mech.

I just did most of Kara last night with 4 of my guys - and the rest a normal group. From Shade to Prince - no problem downing any of the bosses.

I solo-tanked everything with my pally and dps'd with 3 shamans

It was nice because people had to leave so I just kept replacing them with my shamans.

I got pulled through Kara on my recently 70 pally in green level 60 prot gear specced as ret. Good times :thumbsup: (I picked up both t4 pieces as well as many other epics) ((There was also a trash mob that dropped two epics at once!!))

keep gearing it up so then we can rock a bit more than attumen next time:P

Toned knows his stuff but just wanted to add Mana Tombs Heroic is brain dead easy for 5 shamans (no kiting required). That's 4 easy badges in 45 min or so (yes 4 if you do the chain quest to open up the forth boss Yor).

Edit: Add first boss Mgt to that list, easy badge and epic (and a nice caster dagger that drops too - 15 min run or so).

I try to do kara every weekend.
I tend to go with a group of friends, who know what im doing, and actually expect me to fuck it up at some point
The group composition we used last week was: Group 1 pala tank, priest healer, pala healer, shadow priest, mage.
Group 2 : 4 shamans 1 boomkin.

We have done it with just a warrior tank too, in those cases my main OTs for a second or two, the DPS is usaully enough to take a mob down before it reaches us.
If the raid lets you pull, youll do much better, especially on the mobs before attunmen.

The SP in grp 1 increases spelldamage with 5%, the boomkin in my group increases my crit with 5%.
Last run with this setup gave me a DPS of 1350 with my main on Midnight.(other 3 was 1200-1280) With just 808 spelldmg, crit was around 46%.
Only thing thats a real bitch is the trash after curator.... Bloody magic immune fishies!

The real challenge in Karazhan is Shade of Aran, the movement involved...
Prince movement is easy enough. Fire elems on Illhoof makes him trivial.

The raid wont be slowed down except maybe on Shade of Aran and the trash after curator, its faster actually.

Updated my post for 22 badges in a day + 2 if you get a daily for one of these:

Ya MT is easymode, at the time of the post just never bothered with it.
