Four shaman and Paladin team clear mana tombs.
May 13th, 2009
I had a bit of extra time on my hands yesterday and decided I would go back for a bit of multiboxing fun on my 4 shaman 1 pally team.
The paladin and 3 of the shaman are 65 with the resto shaman being a 71.
I chose Mana tombs as the instance to go to. I’ve never run it much on any character, and it was the right level.
A couple of pulls in and I found that my lesser healing wave spam on the Paladin tank wasn’t going to be enough. So I changed the macro to do riptide, lesser healing wave, healing wave, riptide, lesser healing wave, healing wave. Combined with the earth shield this worked a treat.
One flaw in my setup - I hadn’t specced cleanse spirit on my resto paladin. This cleanses a disease, poison and a curse. This would have been useful, as I found a shaman or two would die after I’d finished off a group of mobs. I noticed that they had a curse on them (I think). I did get by just by hitting chain heal on the shammys, but I need to macro this so that they chain heal each other instead of themselves.
I managed to get through the whole instance with no wipes. Completed a few quests, then did the final escort quest. It got a bit messy on the escort quest as I hit a mob that feared, hadn’t got my tremor totems down and so had a couple facing the wrong way. Then a couple of the shamans died, and I thought I might actually die. I tapped my follow, got the remainder of my team on target and killed him. I then had to drink up, and res the two dead shamans. (I was worried the escort would go on without me, but that didn’t happen). So I successfully completed the escort quest as well.
The 3 shaman all dinged 66 right at the end or at hand in. The paladin moved to over half way to 66.
I did learn something else on this run. I was pulling the group, and was going through my tanking sequence on the pally. I started dpsing after the first couple of hits, but before the first consecrate kicked in. This resulted in ranged spell casters hitting my shaman instead of the paladin. I found it much better to wait till the consecrate hit then start dps. That worked a treat and I had less problems after that.
It did take a while to clear the whole thing, and I may consider killing to the first boss only and reset in the future, but I’ll definitely run this again.
