View Full Version : Best instance to run at 65 with 5 shamans?

So my shamans are all 65, about 3 bars from 66. I just finished all the nagrand quests < 66 and want to hit 66 so I can do the durn quest, burning time, ring of blood, etc. I don't really want to go to BEM until 67 or so, so I need to run some instances. Obviously I have no Earth elementals yet - was thinking I could run mana tombs as that seems like it would be pretty easy with 5x grounding totems. Any advice?
Should I try underbog? I have no desire to go back to SP because I don't think I can beat rok'malar without earth elementals. Thanks in advance!

I played UB for quite some time, but I have a tank and a healer in my setup! :P
UB was really smooth runs (besides the last boss) and actually yielded lots of cash (mining, skinning, herbalism and all those 600 Sanguine Hibiscus that sold for 4g each on average).
With or without tank+healer I think UB might be a rather rewarding instance at your level.
Mana-tombs will just get you frustrated with the aoe-fears (since you will tank them within melee range to your entire group :P)

I say give it a shot. I think you might have some hit and miss success with the 2nd guy. Even with earth elementals I have a problem with that guy. There are alot of casters in the trash so that makes it pretty simple.

I was thinking about UB but after reading the wiki entry on it it REALLY looks like you need a dedicated tank for it to be trivial...with 5 shamans it seems like it will not be easy at all...Any input on that?

Grind out honored in Old Hillsbrad so you can get the Blue PVP item.

Well, I already made it to almost 67 now, finishing up a few quests in nagrand and running mana tombs. I ran SP at 66 which was cake but I need CE rep to honored so I will run UB tonight which should get me to 67, plus honored with CE once i turn in the quest to find the 4 guys. Then, at 67, I guess I'll try running durnholde a few times to get KoT rep. Then all I need is a bit of lower city rep to get honored with all 5 factions for the 5 pieces of blue pvp gear. I think that will get me to 68/69 or so, then I can just finish up some quests in BEM/SMV and have all of netherstorm for money. I already have enough minus maybe 200g to get 5x regular flyers so that will be good, I want to make sur eto afford 5x epic flyers before WotLK comes out so I'll have to do some major questing at 70 plus some dailies to get the money. Either that or spend some time just running instances and DEing everything for essences and large shards.
