Since doing this post I have managed to drag the ‘frozen horde’ boss to the ‘annoying mage’ boss along with a few groups.

And lived of course… You get no braggin rights if you wipe.

Chain pulling is often a lot easier and can be faster. I have a post on chain pulls, comparing them to multi pull, coming up soon.
I also found doing multi pulls that while many sets of groups are faster to do together there are a lot of groups where it is far more time and effort to try to round them up at the same time. These days I have switched from pulling several ‘just because I can’ to pulling enough to make things actually faster. Well… most of the time.

One time some DPS said ‘pull all three’ on heroic paletress. Multipule mind-controls later we were very dead. Some pulls just DON’T work as multi pulls

We used to always go the other way back when Wrath first came out. Actually … the whole time I played Horde we went counterclockwise. It wasn’t until I switched to Alliance that people started going left first.

I have a long way to go to get up to these kinds of pulls. I got ‘adventurous’ last night though and pulled all three trash groups before Paletress in ToC (regular, not Heroic .. not quite up to handling three Priestesses mind controlling the party lawl). By the third time through, I found that chain pulling by attacking one group, killing the priestess, then dragging the rest to the next priestess, was much more organized than trying to grab all three groups together. But if you want chaos … all three is the way to go. Having an ele shaman there to thunderstorm them as soon as you get them grouped up gets bonus points for insanity. xD

I’ve always wanted to go the other way… maybe I’ll make us go that way next time.

Bwahahaha. As someone who once healed a tank that felt he had to pull things and clear the whole instance (which was Kara, back in the day) in about as much time as it took me to read this post, I can very much relate to the healer’s thoughts.

On an adjacent note, I think At and I are about the only two people in existence who usually prefer to go the opposite direction in Nexus. PUGs always freak out. “y u goin rong way?” Like there’s a wrong way in square-ish shaped instance.
