5 or 10 Man Botting - What do I Need?

[Ikyata]

Hi Everyone - fairly new here, but I've been lurking for a while. Recently I've become really interested in botting 5 man dungeon groups at max level (110 soon enough). Naturally, my next thought was about whether or not I could just have a 10 man team.

It looks like there isn't too too much support for 10 man raiding, but is it possible to the extent that its worth paying for another 5 accounts?

Even if it isn't, is it still worth having the accounts so I can switch accounts that are playing to make myself look more human?

What plugins/crs/botbases do people use for this kind of thing? I've seen a lot of lazyraider references, but its hard to find consistent opinions.

What are the typical ban-proofing (wrong term there, but you get the jist of it) measures that people running multiple accounts go through to not look like a multibotter on one IP address?

Also, how would it best be set up? I have the below specs on my desktop (built 2010) and laptop (bought 10m ago). I first started out thinking that I needed to upgrade my PC big time and not even use my laptop for this, but after reading about a few people multibotting on way less, I'm thinking the laptop might be useful for this.

I have a laptop and desktop, both of which have i7s with 2.6GHz not overclocked
The laptop has some internal dedicated gpu, which I assume is not great (its a surface book) whle the desktop has a AMD 5850 1g
Both have 8gb ram
The desktop also has a 650W power source

Anyway, if anyone has any answers/confident opinions on this, I would love to hear them. I know it is asking a lot of questions for someone with two posts, but I look forward to contributing once I learn enough to not be leading someone down the wrong path.

the RAM is so cheap now might upgrade to 16-24 gb. even cheaper RAM if you find a computer recycle place close and buy it used.

i run 10 accounts so i can switch. i play 3 or 4 at a time. i dont really run 5 man dungeons. when i do run 5 man. i use party bot a basic group bot auto follows and fights/heals .it is easy to use in old dungeons (no tank).i am not sure how to use it in the new dungeons.you'll need a tank ( hand play tank ) and need to avoid game mechanics.

Hm ok. I started along this train of thought because of artifacts. I want to make sure I don't fall behind with them due to a grouping requirement that I don't feel like fulfilling. Is there no way to get bots to just assist a character and choose the tank as that character? I imagine itd be hard to pull agro off of a botting tank's main target.

Party bot follows, fights, and heals the group. you plug in a name of who it follows.

Ok understood. And the reason this wouldn't work with a bit tank is that mechanics would end up with followers dead in fire, right?

Do you do anything to deal with maybe looking like a bot by
1. Having a bunch of accounts playing on one IP address/computer
2. Playing too long or doing one thing too long?

Or does cycling 4 at a time through your accounts work fine?

Make sure your machines have a 4-core CPU to run a 5 man team. Some mobile i7 CPUs have actually only 2 cores.

From my experience a 4-core AMD running at 3.7 GHz is enough for *most* dungeons, but some are more resource-demanding than others. Also since Legion 8G is not enough for 5-man, I had to upgrade to 16G to prevent running out of memory.
