Level 70s - 1x Paladin (Protection), 1x Shaman (Restoration), 3x Shaman (Elemental); 1x Warrior (Protection), 1x Priest (Holy), 3x Mage (Fire) - First Kara run by two 5-boxers, first kill Feb 2, 2008
Strategy
The warrior pulls. The paladin taunts off the warrior (Moroes is untauntable) while the priest shackles the mob that cleaves (the paladin can exorcism before the shackle to keep the mob's aggro off the priest).
Once the 3 mobs are far enough away from the shackle, the paladin consecrates and aoe tanks the 3 while the dps unloads on the healer/dispeller mob. Earth shock the healer/dispeller's heals. When she's down, move on to the two other adds.
The paladin should be exorcism'ing Moroes to remain 2nd on aggro since the Warrior's healer will be fighting against you. Typically the warrior should tank Moroes next to the paladin in order for consecrate to hit Moroes.
Keep as many poison cleanse totems up as you can - the paladin will likely not be able to remove poison because they'll constantly be in the GCD keeping consecrate/holy shield/exorcism'ing moroes. After the last two mobs are down, the Paladin will holy shield + exorcism the last add (who cleaves) and start fighting for aggro with Moroes. This is where the dps starts to hit Moroes.
Whenever Moroes vanishes, the dps will attack the mob that cleaves. There's a good reason to keep it alive - a paladin can't generate threat without mana, and can't get mana without heals. The last mob doesn't hit that hard on plate and even though you'll probably be downing mana pots, you need all the mana you can get to compete with the holy priest's aggro from healing the warrior all fight.
Ideally the two healers could switch mid-fight so that neither one is insanely high on Moroes's threat list, but it's hard to coordinate.
Alternately, the pally can BoSac the warrior to get mana via heals or to knock themselves out of a gouge if they're MT'ing Moroes.
During the vanishes, if it hits the paladin and the paladin is not tanking anything, they can bubble and immediately remove the bubble via a macro to get rid of the bleed. The paladin can also BoP one of the shaman if they get garotte, but this is once every 2 min so it's typically saved until late in the fight. The mages can iceblock out of the garotte and the priest can use stoneform (a dwarf racial). The warrior and the remaining shaman just heal through it.
Once it's down to just Moroes, watch the threat, and tank & spank him down with the two tanks fighting for aggro.
Points to Remember
- Be on top of your heals, but not on top of threat
- Watch the shackle. It CAN break early and it WILL go straight for the priest. A timely exorcism before the shackle will help start the aggro off on the paladin.
- Do not consecrate immediately after the pull. Otherwise you'll end up with aggro on the paladin -- from the adds AND moroes.
Watch where you consecrate and where the shackle is, or if the shackle is going to break where the mob is going.
- Shaman wear mail. They don't hurt much from the garotte. However, they do hurt quite a bit from being OOM thanks to spamming chain heal.
- The warrior needs to focus on keeping shield block up. Untimely crushes are BAD. Especially with the holy priest riding the paladin's ass on the threat list.
- The first add (the healer) should NEVER be allowed to heal. Earth shocking heal > burst damage.
- Tank the cleaving mob AWAY from your party
- Never let a mob hit you in the back. You can't block them when they're behind you.
- Poison cleansing totem. Stack that b*tch. If it hits a healer, lay another poison cleanse totem.
- Grounding totem up at the pull. It'll eat holy fires/judgements from two of the adds.
