Tactics, and how to control your guys...

Ok.. so i have been going along questing.. and im a hair under 20 with my 5xshams now.. last night i goto do the last quest in ghostlands (the big badass elite that makes me cry like a little girl) Anyway.. all is going fine, i get him to bout 40% then WHAM aoe fear... i had tremor totems down, but the damage was done.. in that time he killed my main and i couldn't seem to get my alts under control..



My question is are there any macros your special things you guys use for rescuing a bad situation like that?

Do you have tremor totems all bound to the same key? It takes 4 keys to drop totems, 1,2,3,4

1 toon drops tremor 1, another on 2 , another on 3 and the other 2 on key 4. That way instead of 3sec tics it will be ticking every 1 sec.

damn thats a good idea! i didnt think of that.. i am using 2 keys for totems at the moment... and i have each guy using different totems.. hit 1 key and i get 2 stone claw 1 earth bind and 2 searing... like that...

I actually have tremor to 1 button but I macro it to a cast sequence. That way, I just hit the same button 5x and it staggers it enough to keep a constant pulse of fear immune :P

My question is are there any macros your special things you guys use for rescuing a bad situation like that?I'm about to do Dark'han with my Paladin/Hunter duo. I have just about resigned myself to needing a few others to finish him. You could try using the off-hand globe that silences and damages him in a staggered configuration, too. It hits him for 500 a pop, and shuts him up for 5 secs. Both of mine are BE's so I'll be using the sword on both (also does 500 dam/silence) then arcane torrent in a chain to silence him. If you can pull him out of the room without drawing the adds, and clear out the stairwells, even if you get feared you can win the fight. I've never done it alone, but I have done it with just another lvl 20 (Warlock of some flavor) as a Ret Paladin. We'll see how I fare with my duo :) - I have a feeling that divine protection and lay on hands will be the only thing that saves me lol.

We owned Luzran and Knucklerot and the Lieutenants, but got wiped with Dar'khan at 20% health. I'll level and try again at 20 or 21.

a guildie hunter was outside ZA and ran over, i tagged the boss he killed him:( i woulda liked to solo it.. but it was like midnight and i wanted outa that zone:) im 25 now and still wear the staff i got from that:) love it...

Did SFK tonight... well.. started.. did 2 bosses but its bedtime.. will try to clear it tomorrow... still having issues trying to keep agro off my main guy andon the slaves... will work it out though.. for doing questing a made a nice macro that helps me keep the slaves melee'ing on my target if it runs or anything...

/target toon1

/focus

/follow

/assist focus

/startattack

Basically on runners now i can just spam the melee attack button and they stay on it as long as i am on it... before it was 2 buttons..sounds silly.. but the easier i can make it the better:)

the first boss in sfk was actually a pain for me.. i pulled him by accident.. i went to the top of the stairs and the 2 mobs in the room and him came runnin.. was backed in a corner, couldn't see much.. pain in the butt... but got em with no deaths:)
