I’ve heard ppl talk about having problem with the first boss in Auchenai Crypts ('http://www.wowwiki.com/Auchenai_Crypts'). And so did I until I read a workable strategy in an other post here somewhere.
[edit: Cred's go to caldvn ('undefined') and he's post here: Auchenai Crypts 1st boss Strat? ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&postID=27830#post27830')]
My personal setup is 1 resto and 4 elemental shamans.
Stand below the stairs until the boss is heading to the back of the room. When the boss starts to move back run up the right most side of the stairs and position your group. Put up some totems, fire resist, some healing and what have you. Then I run in towards the boss with my resto shammy popping an Earth Elemental just by him. Then I put a Earth Shield on the Earth Elemental, and run back to the rest of my team. Now it’s time for my 4 alt’s to run forward a bit, and pop Fire elemental totem and run back to my main.
At this point the hole party should stand at the Rightmost southern part of the room facing north.
When the he starts shooting the flame thing at you… wait for just a sec then have your hole party strafe left to the leftmost southern part of the room. Next time just strafe right to your original position. When he draws every one towards himself. Just hit follow and run back to the original position and face north.
Between the fire flare’s I usually try to fire a lightning bolt or two of. And maybe a heal on the Stone Elemental. Usually one healing wave is enough, the Earth Shield takes care of the rest of the healing.
This strategy has worked for me from lvl 68, (Resto shaman @ lvl 70) when I first read the workable strat.
Keybinds used here is:
Arrowkeys move my alts.
Delete – hole party strafe left
Page Down – hole party strafe right.
(on the keyboard I use Delete and Page Down is just above the arrow keys, so it makes sense, you might find other keybinds better for your setup though)
The last boss is easy mode with 4 Stone Elementals tanking, 1 Fire elemental and pew pew lightning bolts….
