Request - Boxing ToV raids to finish RZ Earring

[eqsubi15]

Anyone have tips on boxing ToV raids with today's level of gear with say 2-3 groups? Been wanting to try and finish the RZ earring. So far, only have Griklor down.

I want to do the same thing. Luckily I already have ToFS done which I hear is the hardest one to box.

What tools did you use for griklor?

I'm using cwtn plugins. manually control the tank and everyone else in chase mode. I just have everyone keep ahead of Griklor so I don't have to try and single out whoever he calls.

I don't see how anyone boxes ToFS. We have tried it with 4-6 boxing a group each and it's always pure chaos with the ice.

Here is a Lua script for Griklor if it helps. Will do the follow Grik thing and then return to the raid MA.

[CODE lang="Lua" title="Griklor"]local mq = require('mq')
local os = require('os')
mq.cmd('/plugin mq2boxr load')


local function runToGrik(line, name)
if name ~= mq.TLO.Me.Name() then
return
end

local startTime = os.time()
mq.cmd('/boxr Pause')
while os.time() - startTime <= 11 do
mq.cmd('/nav spawn griklor')
if mq.TLO.Spawn('griklor').Distance() > 20 and not mq.TLO.Nav.Active() then
mq.cmd('/nav spawn griklor')
end
mq.delay(100)
end
mq.cmd('/nav spawn pc ='..mq.TLO.Raid.MainAssist.Name())
mq.cmd('/boxr Unpause')
end

mq.event('pointed', "Griklor the Restless roars and points at #1#.", runToGrik)


local function mainLoop()
while true do
mq.doevents('pointed')
mq.delay(50)
end
end

mainLoop()[/CODE]

Easiest way for that raid is just drive with your MT and stay in front of him. He will drop everytime.

I’ve beaten them all solo minus the TOFS. What event are you having trouble with?

How many groups did you use?

 

[Trapper]

we did
Griklor, Servant of sleeper, Restless assault, Animated Derakor and Restless Avatar of war
a couple expansions back with 36, so Imagine you could probably do at least those now with even less. we didn't ever try doing ToFs because of the count's you need in each location.

I roll with 54 toons.

Haven't attempted any of the others just yet. Wanted to try and get some tips and boxing strats on those events before I made my go at them.

We done Derakor a couple months ago with 20ish with no scripts or anything. Just had to make sure one group breaks off and kills the crystals and be sure everyone called out with the curse gets cured. We ignored any other mechanics. We tried Avatar after but that one is a lot tougher if you don't have a script to do at least some of the mechanics like duck, run away, remove weapons,etc. The knockback was terrible too. It would fling toons up in the stands and they would get stuck and you would have to manually run them back or at least partially until the mesh kicked back in.

Restless Assault and Sleeper are on the easier side and can be done with 24 or less now, maybe 18 or less. Velks I haven't tried since 120 around ToL era but I think we done it with 30 then so I'm guessing it could be done with far fewer at 125. I'd recommend trying Derakor or Restless Assault as first targets after Griklor. Those 2 seemed to be the easiest for us to box and with fewer numbers.

 

[Hylander]

griklor and servant of the sleeper are doable with 2 groups.
the others not possible, i got close with Derakor the Vindicator, but maybe 3 groups its possible. the combination of wolves, crystals, and giant adds is too overwhelming for just 2 tanks

TOFS2 and 3 are cake, but Ice Rink is boxable (two of us did it , me boxing 12 and him boxing 42), but lots of pets help, mage and necro pets are really helpful

Oh man, and here I'am trying to complete my 3'rd group.. And 2nd time I try to complete that 3rd groups Warrior but they keep on banning my new born warriors, as soon they are done with the levels and AA's.. so annoying.

Why does every... single... thread... have to turn in to a ban discussion? Invariably, if the subject is brought up, that is what the thread becomes.

You're right, I did not thought of it.
