Enjoy the high-def video!

The hunters are 41, BM spec, and have 3 dps/pvp pets (wolf, fox, dog)  and 3 tank pets (bears).   We tore through this place pretty hard core.  The only big difficulty was on those undead mobs who, upon death, get back up and start walking towards you and then explode.  All in all, the instance was a breeze.  Enjoy the 1080/720/480 video!

Anyway, we obliterated this instance and had fun with our pets tanking some pretty high DPS mobs for the first time. Midway through the video you will see us tanking 2x of those rock giants, not to mention killing Rotgrip, all by ourselves.

Have fun watching this HD 1080/720 video!

One of the keys to doing this instances, for us, was to group up large numbers of elites, then spam multishot several times, and feign death if we ever had aggro.    This video is in full HD including 720p and 1080p.

I’ve learned that multiboxing with Multishot is intensely awesome.   Take a look at the HD video here:

Part 1 of 4x DK 1x Pally WOTLK Nexus (Normal)

Here is Part 2:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsZr-RTFMXA

So I decided to see how far my Wrath-equipped, level 80 team could make it in Blackrock Caverns. I had started leveling in Mount Hyjal and ran across the NPC that grants entrance to the instance. I hopped into the teleporter and found myself in Blackrock Caverns.

Per Janus, below is a general breakdown of the encounters and my team composition. It is not the cleanest execution, as I was shooting this “as is”, with no to little preparation, and all these encounters were completely new to me

Team composition:
- Janus : protection pally
- Adonis: elemental shammy
- Bellenus: moonkin
- Aurora: Arcane mage
- Cymara: Holy priest

Team level: 80 (dinged 81 after completing this dungeon ! YAY! )
Gear: Full Wrath heroic dungeon gear
MBoxing software: PWNboxer

Strategy:
1- First Boss:
Make sure as you’re preparing to do the encounter, to clear all the mobs close to the boss, as once pulled, he “shouts out” to the closest adds and pulls them to the fight (as I discovered the hard way, like you can see in the movie)
It’s a simple tank and spank otherwise with a few twists:
- He does a quake, that erupts under your party’s feet, when you see the ground moving, it’s your queue to move your team out of harm’s way, otherwise big damage to everyone
- He pulls all the toons into chains of woe. When that happens, focus fire on the chains, then get out of his way, as he does some sort of cleave that deals major damage
- Rinse and repeat

2- Second Boss:
This is the most technically challenging in this dungeon, in my opinion. She has two adds, that once she is engaged, are targeted by “evolution beams”. Your job is to break the beam by moving your toons into its path, but there is a timer (around 20 sec), after which your toon will evolve into a dragonkin and wreak havoc to the party. This requires some micromanaging as you will need to grab a beam with your tank, and then one after the other, put your slaves into the path of the other. This way, only one dragonkin can evolve at a time and you can bring him down, then let the other one evolve and bring him down next. After both are down, focus fire on the boss and GG

3- Third Boss:
Interesting mechanic. You need to “heat him up” in the middle beam, otherwise he is invincible and does not take damage! As he does (he changes his color) he starts doing major AOE damage to the team. Mass heal and then get him out of the beam. I did 4-5 stacks and my healer was managing fine. Once the debuff expire, reposition him back into the beam and repeat. Make sure to stand inside as when the debuff expires lava surges from the mesh on the ground (see movie)

4- Fourth boss:
Tank and spank. It punts random team members. I had no clue it did that (LOL! as you can see 2 of my toons died in this fight, and my IWT was broken, forgot to rebind it ).
Two interesting things: first you don’t need to kill this boss to complete the dungeon in random LFD (power leveling FTW with 100k xp and justice points). Second if you kill the baby that is behind it, it turns REALLY mad and one-shoots your tank. So don’t kill her fourth baby !

5- Fifth boss:
Tank and spank. Reminds me of the arcane boss in the Nexus, as he “transfers his powers to one of his shadows” just switch targets and beware of the aggro wipe (also discovered this the hard way, as you can see)

That’s it !

A quote on his strategy for multiboxing ICC Marrowgar:

All dps and healers gets behind marrowgar and dps/heal like they should.. If they are too far back they get hit by the fire on the ground, so just a little closer than that. Once a while Marrowgar will target a random raid memeber and cast a bonespike on him. When he did this I target that bone spike with a macro and kill it.

After a while he starts to whirlwind on random raid members, meanwhile he also cast this fire things on the ground (in this video i tried to avoid the fire, but we found it easier to just stand still and just heal through it. I use my 3 shamans to chain heal when this happens and my druid healing the way he should). After the whirlwind its back to start with the bone spikes again..

We have managed to get all 5 bosses down, all the way to Rotface… Rotface is a pain to get but soooooon we will get him down (i hope).

For now i only have Lord Marrowgar frapped, so enjoy this video. More will come soon once i frapped it

Ahune The Frost Lord as you will all know is summoned in Slave Pens during the Midsummer Fire Festival.

Initially this boss took me four attempts to figure it out but after that normally I do it first attempt daily for the two emblems of frost and hoping to get the Ice Chip – Item – World of Warcraft for my Palidin… It can get a bit hectic on this fight the way I do it but thankfully I got a good tank some awesome dps and a really good Priest healer.

Firstly I set up my group near where the boss spawns seperated enough so that when the boss casts the frost spikes it will only hit one of them.

I make sure I got frost totem up and frost resistance up on my palidin and go activate it.

As the boss spawns I normally turn my dps on him and wait for the first large stone add to pop kinda pointless due to Ahune’s Shield – Spell – World of Warcraft but oh well lol.

I then soon as the large stone Elemental pops concentrate all on that untill its down then run round trying to gather all the small adds untill Ahune turns into the Frozen core which can be damaged normaly.

At this point i run round gathering all my other characters to bring em into range and pop all my cooldowns in order to try beat the boss respawn and ignoring all the small adds hoping that consecration will grab them all lol!

Massive self healing through multiboxing the Divine Storm Skill:

On paper it would seem that it is quite possible to run instances, even heroics, without having to heal the tank of the group (bosses not counted) simply by having 4x Retribution Paladins using the Divine Storm skill.   When fully glyphed, this skill will heal your party members for 40% of the damage done.  Multiple this by 4 and you can get some really intense healing.  For example, if you watch this video below closely, you will see 1 “volley” of Divine Storm is healing my tank for sometimes in excess of 3000.

Here is the first of hopefully man videos showing the potential power of multiboxing Paladins with a Death Knight tank.

All 5x Hunters. No healers. Comments list any issues I had in the run. Will hopefully get ST up this weekend.

5x BM. Builds are similar but not identical. I found talents I normally wouldn’t take or find useful solo are worthwhile for 5x hunter (like the improved heal and any party booster talent). I toyed with the idea of mixing BM and Marks but it would just reduce efficiency too much IMO.

Take a look at the multiboxing Deadmines video:

Solomani said, “One thing to note I haven’t bought *anything* with these guys. All their kit are from drops or quests. That’s another part of my personal challenge – to resist pimping them out. The only thing I buy is food for the pets, repairs, ammo and the mounts.”

Here is a video of Wailing Caverns being multiboxed by 5 Hunters.

This time he is Multiboxing Noth the Plaguebringer which allows him to accomplish the weekly raid boss quest. So he gave it a shot with his team, and guess what?  Naxx on farm?  10 man Naxx is Plaguebringer VS a 5 man team.  Enjoy!

The goal of this team is to do absolutely insane AOE damage in instance pulls while staying relatively unscathed.  Individually, a Priest using Holy Nova to DPS in an instanced would typically be laughed at while the other players click confirmation on the group kick option.  However, when four Priests are multiboxed together with a Protection Paladin, the end result is nothing less than amazing.

Below is a video of the carnaged wrecked in the first Burning Crusade instance:  Ramparts

Here is the general strategy and a 35 minute video:

• Firstly, I am using the Pwnboxer multiboxing software heavily in the area of Dockable Clickmapping, which are the buttons located on the actual game screen.  The Dockable Clickmapping is basically a virtual programmable keyboard and is an absolute godsend to multiboxing.
• Before each pull I will Power Word: Shield my Paladin, and with 1 button stack up 4 Renews.
• I then will aggro as many mobs as possible, often 15-20 elites of the same level.  While aggroing I will press my Pain Suppression button, which I can cast 4 times due to round-robin macros, which cause the Paladin to take 40% less damage.
• Once I have a gigantic array of mobs together, I simply roll my face over the num9 key.
• The Numpad Nine Key:   This button is broadcasted in the Pwnboxer dual-box software across all 5 guys.  On my 4x Priests, this will spam Holy Nova over and over again, healing the entire party for a massive amount of health, while doing a combined insane damage to all mobs, often in excess of 8k DPS.   On my 1x Prot Pally, the 9 button is for a castsequence macro to do the following:  Consecration, Hammer of Righteousness, Holy Shield, and Avenger’s Shield.

This takes place on the Blackrock-US server, in the guild <BUT MOM IM MULTIBOXING>.

• Tim:  2x Priests – Holy Spec
• Rob:  3x Hunters – BM Spec (Pet spec’d for tanking)

The general strategy was to run in, raise hell with aggro, and have the pets tank everything while the Hunters DPS’d with multishot a bunch.  At the same time, the Priests would go nuts casting Holy Nova, both for DPS and for healing.

Check out the video below of the actual live run without any edits.  Sit back, grab some popcorn, and let the full screen madness ensue!

Tim – 2x Priests, currently both Holy spec

Rob – 3x Hunters, currently both BM spec

The reasoning behind the team composition is that the BM pets should easily be able to tank with the hunters contributing the bulk of the groups DPS, while at the same time healing the pets through pet and hunter talents.  The dual priests will float around spamming Holy Nova, contributing nicely to group DPS while at the same time keeping huge heals up on the entire group including the pets.

Below is a video of doing Stockades with this team make up.  Enjoy!

• 1x Druid Tank
• 3x Elemental Shaman
• 1x Restoration Shaman

Halls of Reflection (HoR) is essentially a single room with multiple waves of mobs before fighting 2 bosses, and ends with a run from the Lich King himself.

The fight starts out with Lady Sylvanas and yourselves in the very room with the Lich King’s sword, Frostmourne.  Uther the Lightbringer appears to still be bound to the sword and he warns Sylvanas to quickly exit before the Lich King comes.  There appears to be some foreshadowing when Uther mentions that there must always be a Lich King, and that the current Lich King is actually helping the people of world.  “Without the control of the Lich King, the scourge of the world would overrun…”

Multiple waves of elites will come at your team at once which, if killed quickly enough, will offer you about 5 seconds to drink between fights to regain mana.  My strategy was to put all my guys in the original tunnel that you came in from and simply tank and spank the waves of elites.  Be careful to always have aggro on all the mobs or they will punk you caster/healers.

Boss Falric

The fight against the dead captain is mostly about quick dispelling of magic debuffs. Impending Despair will stun its target after 3 seconds if not removed, and Quivering Strike will frequently drop the tank’s dodge by 20%. In addition, Defiling Horror will send the entire party fleeing in horror for 4 seconds, while taking damage, and Falric’s Hopelessness aura will reduce all players’ damage and healing done by 20% (Heroic: 25%), stacking up to 3 times.

Tank and spank for the most part with careful attention to regrouping after his Horror/Fear.

Boss Marwyn

As Falric is more of a warrior-type of boss, Marwyn is similar to a death knight. He uses Obliterate frequently, and focuses on corruption attacks. He will occasionally spawn Well of Corruption underneath a player, which causes Corrupted Flesh, inflicting a Corrupted Touch DoT on its target. He will also cast a dangerous debuff called Shared Suffering which deals damage to a single player, though if dispelled the damage will be dealt to all players.

Again, tank and spank, and you really don’t need to put much effort into his DoT.

After the fight

Basically just follow the tunnel down to where Sylvanas is getting pwned by the Lich King.  It is amazing that she actually got him down as far as she did.  From here, you need to talk to her then run as fast as you can away from the former Arthas until a wall of ice will appear.  Immediately turn around and then dish out some pwn to the mobs that the LK summons.  Rinse and repeat until the 4th and final wall.  From there, blow all your cooldowns once the multiple fat men appear, otherwise you may have trouble.  From there simply run away and watch the forthcoming short cinematic.

Below is an entire, unedited video of the run.
