Level 42-43 ZF Fun + Princess dead @ 45

[dancook]

Can you imagine people trying to PUG a party with just level 42's into ZF? I think people would give up before they even entered...

Not me! I love a challenge...

So here i am :) (dinged during zf)

Some of you may say 'yea yea so what, get over it already!'

But I'm quite chuffed :P

[Vyndree]

Eww, KTM.

Try Omen. It plays nice with KTM and tracks threat per mob.

[dancook]

thanks for the tip, I haven't actually been using KTM, just something i put on a while ago.. and it isn't even on the alts.

[yarr]

I went into zf at 42, the trash mobs hit too hard for my liking, so i went out and qusted for a lvl and a half came back in and it was a bit easier +)

im all about lvling efficiency, if theres a chance that i will wipe in an instance, it probably isnt efficient =D

maybe ill go after those challenges when im 60+ ^_^

[geoffdavison]

I hate that flipping instance.. i pl'd my son's toon through there with my prot spec pally.. it was still a pain with all the healers in there

[dancook]

I didn't have a single death, and healers weren't too much trouble - tons of dots.. and then nuke! they seemed to die really quick.

It went very smoothly

I 4 box and I went in at lvl 42 (hunter,mage,shaman,druid), barely beat Ant'Sul, had to clear out all the graves in order to kill the one guy by the graves, did the event ok, died on the snakes near the end boss and it was 1am so I stopped playing for the night. I went back and did ant'sul, and the event and I did the last boss this time, got the one piece of the purple sword I exited being level 44. Haven't played since though that was about a week ago i did that. ZF sucks.

[dancook]

I got a nice mace off the croc boss, which gives chance to 'thunderclap' .. i emptied the graves for more exp and then killed that boss

[Poolboy]

i never clear out those graves. if i recall, waaaaaaaay back when they had proximity/touch agro, no? that was ages ago tho and they dont seem to now?

I did ZF a few times now on my leveling team, got the Sang'thraze for my Pally 1st run which was pretty cool, and some vexing canes also cool.



PS - What are those party frames with all of the buffs and target of target built in? Purelight's that is.

That is x-perl.

[Poolboy]

x-perl? thanks!

it's toight, toight like a toiger.

Another challenge I set myself... Princess - killed her at level 45 - well cleared the entire of maraudon from level 44-45 :D shame the dagger I got was 49... and I didn't have quest as I was 44 when i entered..

oh well!

Dude, mad respect for running around with that group.

I'm trying to decipher your macro's, having just started out myself and looking for ways to do it. Let me know if I get close:
Start with the mage, that looks easy. Casts Fireballs no matter what the other guys do. Did you toss in a Fire Blast? Priest and Lock has dots+vamp embrace on 4. 3 is fire all cannons, mindflay/mind blast on Spriest, balls and bolts on mage and lock. 6-0 is targeted heals with guns on the side. Simplifies the targeting loads.
1 is the stay away from me button, with a taunt on the paladin? And did you fit Holy Shield, Judgement and Reseal into those macros on the paladin?

Heh, I might have to try something similar some time. Looks like a challenging blast to play :D

*SIDETRACK*

Thanks, now running X-Perl on pally main only (for now) and LOVING it! Providing FAR more info on main screen than I was getting before, it's a must-have now =)

I changed my macros a bit now...

I removed the DPS on the heals so that the princess encounter was easier to control - and i'll leave it this way from now on.

Changed mage build too, as she had too much mana left after most fights, she was doing fireball/fireblast previously - plus with Arcane Missiles threat is pretty steady.

Now I have (start the battle..)

5 = Crusader Seal, Judgement, Righteousness Seal, Consecration
4 = Holy Shield / Consecration, Warlock Dots, Priest Pain, VE, /petattack (imp also begins adds the fire shield to paladin)
3 = Arcane Instability / Arcane Missiles, Mindflay Mindflay Mindblast, Shadow Bolt, repeat Holy Shield / Consecration
2 = Follow
1 = Pala Taunt macro, aimed at the enemy not friendly. + 2 x fade + iceblock

6-0 Renew, GH, Shield
