Accomplishments using ISBoxer with LOTRO
My current team consists of 5 level 65 RKs that I am running along with an in-game friend who plays a guardian. To date we have been able to complete the following instances:
Angmar:
CD / URU / BG all done at level, so in the level range of 48 through 53 while mobs conned blue (1 or 2 levels below our team) to orange (1 or 2 levels above our team)
Moria:
Skumfil - hard mode
Fil Gashan - hard mode
The Forges - hard mode
16th Hall - hard mode
The Grand Stairs - hard mode
Halls of Crafting
Mirkwood:
SG - All but final boss (still working on getting this one down). This is considered by many to be the hardest 6 man instance in the game and the final boss the hardest boss fight for a 6 man fellowship.
Skirmishes:
We have all skirmis unlocked except the last one which is unlocked by completing the latest book, and we are able to complete all at level on tier 1 (except survive the barrow downs - see note below)
Note: The skirmish "Survive the Barrow Downs" is an hour long challenge that gets progressively harder throughout the hour. The goal is to survive. If you kill mobs, they will respawn although there is a mob count cap that controls the total mobs you have at any given time. This cap increases as you get further along in the instance. To date, I have only seen this instance completed (survive full hour) on one of the current LOTRO servers. The current time record for Brandywine (the most busy of the LOTRO servers) was 26 minutes last I checked. Our record for this instance at level on tier 1 is 53 minutes and change (which eclipsed the previous server record of 25 minutes). So, we failed just a little less than 7 minutes from completing it on our best effort to date. We have completed all the deeds for a 6 man fellow in this instance (all except surviving the full hour that is) which includes going 30 minutes without participating in a CJ, going 30 minutes without killing a Lieutenant, along with various survival deeds. We are still working to perfect our strategy to get to the 60 minute mark...
Our most recent challenge is Helegrod as a 6 man fellowship. Helegrod is a 24 man Raid instance that is rather challenging to attempt at level (which is 50 with mobs that range as high as 53). Of course our team being at level 65 does have certain advantages in terms of morale and focused DPS, but again this is designed for a 24 man Raid and 2 real players controlling just 6 characters in game still makes for a interesting fight. Just last night we developed a strategy that allowed us to get past the 4th boss (the giants, the spiders, the drakes and the optional cold bear as the first 4 bosses) prior to gaunt man that summons Thorog (the final boss). The gaunt man was an easy tank and spank, but Thorog will be a bit of a challenge since he has a number of things that he can do which can potentially wipe even a full 24 man Raid. We are still hopeful that we can find a workable strategy to get us through Thorog, but even if we are not successful, to have been able to even get to him has been rather satisfying as an accomplishment.
All made possible by Innerspace and ISBoxer. What an indispensable tool for the multi-boxer...
So, give it a shot.... You may be surprised what you can actually accomplish...
Cheers,
