I tried, and I just can't see it being viable with Tank + 4x Shaman.

She is immune to Nature.
She de-agros the tank by either Fearing or a 20-30 foot Knockback.

In my attempt, I set the totems against the wall, where I would be tanking, and moved the Shaman out of AE range. I pulled Princess to the wall and quickly found out she was Immune to Lightning Bolt. I moved the Shaman in closer for Flame Shock + Searing Totems, then got half killed by the AE before I could back them up. By this point, the Tremor Totems I had dropped ran out of time, and next fear caused my Shaman to Wipe, then the druid.

I'm thinking of setting up the Shaman in a semi-circle and tanking her in the middle, using Feral Charge when I get Knockbacked. Or perhaps keeping the Shaman together and dropping new Tremors when the old ones run out, then just moving them back and replacing their position with the Druid.

Still the lack of Solid DPS + the mad DPS from the Princess' AE make me scared.

Anyone have any luck with this with 4x Shaman? I am currently level 47 and the rest of the instance is a breeze.

Heh yeah that immune to nature made me go WTF?! I didn't even notice the first 2 attempts, just thought she was seriously tough.

What I did was park the shaman on the ramp you come down, right at the base. While she was at the far side of her circuit I run out a ways, dropped my tremors (didn't even stagger them atm, I'ma nub), 3xhealing, 1xmana, and a windfury. Then I backed them up right to the edge of that ramp and dropped 4xsearing right at the start of battle.

From there it was more a game of patience. Build a little aggro with my pally, then FROST SHOCK!!!, wait a tick, heal with all 4 shammy, FROST SHOCK!!!... etc. Then pretty much every fear would nab me for 2-3 seconds and she'd go play with the shaman but a quick taunt (forget what it's called) and she came right back. Frost shock her again then h ave everyone do a staggered chain heal to self and then heal the pally (prolly time again). If she got too close to the shaman with her farts I just backed them up then forward again when done.

With your druid you should be able feral charge I guess to get her attention again. Just be sure to pull her back out of fart range of the shaman. Every 4xFrost Shock did like 8% on her, so that plus searing, plus whatever the pally is scraping off basically means you need to hit her 10 times.

GL! That immune SUCKS. Otherwise she'd be dead in like 20 seconds.

and I think my shaman were 48 and pally 49 when i did it.

Do not ignore the usefulness of Nature Resist Totems. ;) Makes healing pets and tanks soooooo much easier on that fight.

Alright, I got her at 47. My problem before was using Searing Totems and Flame Shock.

When she deagros the Druid, she beelines it for either a Searing Totem, or whichever unlucky shaman's Flame Shock DoT hit her first, and then she would either AE or Fear.

I switched to JUST using Maul and Frost Shock and it worked like a charm. I did have to re-lay the Tremor Totem batch, and back off with the shaman to allow the druid to be near the totems, but it went smoothly.

Thanks for the advice!
