Mara Princess + 5x Shaman = BS?

[Doubleo7]

I can understand bosses being resistant.... but immune. LOL

I got her down to 10 percent with fire shocks and totems.... I don't think I will be going back at her again unless someone has a strategy that is escaping me at the moment.

I hope they flush out another magic school in Wrath.

I haven't done her yet, so don't get upset, just thinking out loud. I went to twenty-totems website and I thought I saw something about some mobs being nature or magic immune and what do you plan to do about them. I think it was mentioned to use shocks and melee. So I built my team around melee and shocks. I use mail. I use stam/int/spirit. I don't care about spell damage. I don't care about casting. I use lightning bolt about 2-3 times on a pull and then not again until the next group. All 5 of my chars can take pretty good hits. They all use 1H or staff. All can heal pretty good. So hopefully I can just shock her and run her around I don't plan to stand in her pushback aura all day. That seems just bad. I went with a heavy melee PUG before and they were good, but the healing needed sucks hard. Then I went with all ranged group and the it was a joke how easy it was. So since shammies can't range her, I plan to run around like a chicken with my head cut off. Hopefully if she doesn't stop much, she won't push back much. All frostshock and whoever has aggro, starts running away. Hopefully she just runs after that one. Others frostshock and whoever has aggro runs away. Yeah, it isn't pretty, yeah, it might totally not work. But that is my first thought.

My next thought is to cheat and sub in a ranged. I got a 50 hunter and a 52 hunter to sub in 2 spots. Both have pretty good pets to tank. Send in pets, get aggro and flame shock and heal until dead. Then I switch out hunters and put in different or just do one hunter at a time. Again, not sure if it will work, it is just my second thought.

My next part is maybe her pushback is nature. Maybe you can get a nature pot (aborbs nature damage) and use nature resist totem and just melee her down. Not sure if that works, but just my 3rd thought.

She is hard, but she has nice loot, so don't give up. Just find a way around it. Good luck.

Try kiting with earthbind / stoneclaw, while laying down searing totems & blasting her with 1x frost shock & 4x flame shock?

[Doubleo7]

Thx for the ideas. I wonder if she is kitable? I will have to do some more research before I decide to go back. I have a 70 team of warlocks... so I could always cheat it just to get the couple of quests done :thumbsup:

Princess is, as most bosses are, immune to CC/Snares of any sort.

All you can do is designate 1 shaman the tank. Melee while Frost Shocking with the one. Allow this shaman to get off 1 or 2 Frost Shocks before the rest start Frost Shocking. DO NOT USE FLAME SHOCK ON THE NON-TANKS.

Frost shock with the other Shaman every cooldown, healing the Tank Shaman in between. No need to respec for this, just make sure your tank shaman is geared out in up-to-date mail.

Tank melees with Flametongue or Windfury + Frost Shock every cooldown.

When you pull, have your shaman together, running onto the pad of ground the princess roams around and move up as close as you can without agroing while the princess paths on the far side. Drop your first set of totems: 3 staggerred Tremor Totems, 1 Nature Resist, 1 Stoneskin, 5 Searing Totems, 1 Grace of Air, and 5x Healing Totems. Quickly back off the 4 alt Shaman and Frost Shock with the Tank. Melee and Frost Shock with Tank 1 more time before Frost Shocking with Alts. Only use Frost Shock with alts.

When the time comes to replace your tremor totems, and you will need to, place them with the alts when your current timer is at 1:45, along with 4 more Searing Totems, and Nature Resist, and then move your whole team back, so that your tank shaman is standing on the tremors and your alts are out of AE range. Takes practice/patience. With your tank at this point, place his Searing Totem, Stoneskin Totem, Healing Totem, and Grace of Air when you are back to meleeing/Frost Shocking Princess.

If you can't manage all those totems, in the very least put down the Staggerred (!) Tremors, Healing Stream and Nature resist. But you will be at a disadvantage without all the others.

Good Luck!

Similar discussion over at "PvE - Instances and Advanced Tactics ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&postID=91877#post91877') "

what levels are you attempting her at?

I didn't think she dropped anything that great for my ele shaman that made the frustration worth it. Bottom line for my guys, they hit 50, skipped ST and are working BRD now.

has anyone been able to kill the nature immune boss in heroic arc? Similar situation to this one, except its on HEROIC MODE =D

I totally bombed on him a couple months ago, never went back into arc again afterwards (he is one of the random spawns in the final-boss event)

Maybe just make all your shamans heal and let milhouse kill him? =P
