Congrats! Do you mind explaining your strategy on each of the bosses?

No earth elementals needed for bosses, but it depends on your gear really.

Boss 1) DPS him down, ignore crystals. Not much healing is required for this, but if your dps is a little slow then you will need to watch his target.

Boss 2) Use Lightning shield (this is key for making the fight go from very difficult to easy). Just lightning bolt/chain lighting the boss, don't worry about the adds. Heal up when needed and watch for clones that have multiple stacks. Refresh Lightning shield regularly.

Boss 3) Kill the boss/healer _last_. If you get the Naga warrior drop tremors and kill him first. The other high priority kill is the demon tinker guy. Other than that just dps down the adds purging renew when needed. Then kill the Boss.

Trash before Kael) This is an annoying pull. I make it cake by dropping an earth elemental sometimes and popping bloodlust.

Kael) Totem up, drop all your Fire Elementals. Keep up your grounding totems. When he gravity lapses just swim around, maybe pop a set of instants on him. Chain heal up as necessary. He will be dead or close to dead by the time gravity lapse ends, finish him off.


edit: I use pretty much the same strats for heroic.

That takes precious time! Also I did run back after KT and loot the bosses + a boe blue from a random mob :)

I see that you have those instance inside yourfootnote. Did you level via running instances, or did you do them on your spare time? Or do most quad/multi boxers instance grind to 70?

I post them in my sig so I can keep track/others can see good levels to attempt them at (it helped me when I was leveling to see when ppl did instances).

I quested and instanced. The main instances where I would get 1-3 levels were SM, BRD, BF, MT. The others I would do as part of quests or just to try them for the fun of it. To be honest if I level another group, or on the way to 80 I will probably instance grind even more. Especially at 70 I was glad I instanced most of my way from 64-70 because I was able to go back and do all those quests and get my epic flyers very quickly + with disenchanting I had almost all the instance dropped recipes (still need savagery) and maxed enchanting with no money out of pocket.

My wife hadn't ever cleared Normal Mgt on either her Paladin or Hunter so the other day me and a friend decided to give it a try. So I snagged my T4/T5 Prot Pally and T5/T6 Resto Shaman and we went in (1 T4 Ret Pally and 1 Blue-Gear Ret Pally).

They must have changed the pathing on Avenger's Shield because I some how managed to pull the first boss with the two mobs in front of him. We had to clear the entire room, but we managed it. The rest of the instance was cake up until Kael'thas. Yay for having no ranged for the phoenix.

We wiped once, then came back and popped Wings and Heroism and blasted him down fast. It was fun. lol

I read on the WotLK forums that people were noticing this and I have experienced it myself since the patch. The theory is that they have extended the bounce trying to force people in to the glyph that makes the shield hit one target for double the damage. Why they would do that though, I have no idea.
