RFC help

I need help with pulling in RFC

When I finally clear most trash and there is a bridge over to the bosses island, there is a void walker on the other side with about 5 other lv 15 elites.

I cannot managed to just pull one or two of the mobs. Rather the the island of 5-6 elites chases me down and kills my 5 box team.

My team is now: lv 15 Pally + 4 lv 14 Shammy

How do you pull those mobs? Or how to you kill them all if you cannot pull just one?

I didn't run into much trouble with 5x lvl 15 shamans -- so I didn't have a fancy strategy or anything. I don't think there is a way around those packs. As I recall they would have a caster (always kill it first), a vw, and 2-3 other melee mobs -- are all linked.

Basically I killed the caster first with lightning bolt, threw out a few stoneclaw totems to grab aggro from the other mobs, and then dropped 5 fire nova totems. The stoneclaws grabbed aggro and the fire novas got the pack to about half life. I didn't have a problem keeping my team alive while picking the mobs off one by one after that.

hope that helped

Ah are fire nova totems better than searing totems? I have always been using searing so far. I will also focus on the caster first

At that level they seemed to be pretty good. I was running around thinking I was an aoe mage for a bit. Side note -- if your fire nova totem kills something with out any of your party doing other damage = no xp and no loot. Found that out the hard way.

There are no places in RFC where you should pull more than 3-4 mobs. Even those packs you speak of will path in such a way that if you attack the correct mob only 3+VW will agro you. Remember to use stoneclaw totems a lot.

set your clones up with a hor key to make them stop (ie back key or a spread macro etc, something to break follow.) Engeneering helps alot as a pally tank cause you can make crappy little dynamite sticks to pull at range.

Set your shaman up at a spot that is not in lign of sight. but facing where your pally will be. The 5 pack is actualy a 2 pull and a 3 pull. pull which ever is closer. If your going to the right first, pull the 3 pack by barely hitting the first guy with the edge of the dynamite circle. then LOS the lock so he comes to you. Now get around the corner, judge one mob then get a few swings on the other,and then ,kill the pet. It will die fast. Then finish off the rest. If your getting owned too fast then buy some gear from the AH beacuse at low levels adding 50 armor to your pally is pretty big. You don't have to twink the rest beacuse they should'nt get hit.

It also gets easier as you get rightious fury (i think it's 16)
