1st boss in nexus troubles

I'm having a bear of a time with my tankadin 4x ele shaman setup. I was clearing heroics okay, jumped into Nexus to give it a go and the first boss just rips me a new one.

I'm hunting for multi-box strategies that include a tank and am turning up nothing to help. Has anyone found a good strategy for this boss for a team with a tank? I can get her usually to 50% but once she splits into 3 I drop fast and grounding totems last about a half second before they're all used up. I also have problems getting my group facing the correct direction after they're tossed around. I read somewhere that by not using a tank she'll not do the air toss during phase 1 so I tried keeping my tank back and she still did the air toss to me.

Any help or pointers would be much appreciated. I'm going to go broke with these repair bills LOL. :cursing:

I cant get past her either with my pally and shamans x4 she bounces you around, faces you in wrong direction, freezes you splits then owns you heh i was pulling my hair out on her and gave up, All the other bosses so far are cake

I must have went the wrong way.. my first boss was the rock guy. I couldn't ever get him down because he would chain cast spell reflection and I would go oom healing in the meantime. Any good strategy? Can it be purged?

WotLK Instance Tactics has some tips on Nexus, just curious if anyone has tried it yet with those tips? I'm going to zone into it today with my team and try it out.

Nepida says in there that for the first boss, don't use a tank. Instead have everyone stand at max range, and nuke her down in phase1. SHe will apparently not throw you in the air if there is no tank. I'm going to try that, hopefully Blizzard doesn't consider this a bug and fixed it already.

In phase3 apparently she will toss you no matter what, I guess the thing to do is to have the tank take over leadership again (im going to use him to heal in p1/p2 I guess) and mash your follow key so everyone lines up against the boss. Spam attack and chain heal buttons, hopefully the boss will die before too many players do?

Yeah I read that thread. I tried the max range thing with no tank and she was still tossing me into the air on phase 1. grrr.

did "the nexus" today with my 4eles/1hpala team.

no problem with the first three bosses.
no tank needed, dps them down on first try :)

but last boss is pure pain for multiboxers!
knockback, aoe and a damage/slow debuff on "char not moving"

took me about 10 wipes to find a solution X(

For nexus, the dragon is the last boss. But for the mage boss, have mana totems down, then when she does the air toss, drop healing stream totems to cover the dmg, spam /follow macro and just quickly regroup after it.

The void boss is pretty easy, just nuke, switch to the rift, kill rift add then back to boss, no real dmg concerns tbh. For the big dude, real annoying as he hits hard, but i just strafe on the ramp to avoid the crystals and gradually take him down.

Last boss is ugh and took me 6 tries. I spam jump to get rid of the debuff. Bit of dps, then heal tank then heal self, repeat. I spread them in a semi-circle to avoid the aoe breath but still be in range of chain heals. Start off with mana totems and then at 50% switch to healing totems so you can dps a bit harder. Blow all trinket and spam thunderstorm every time for mana. Pot if you have to (i didnt but got very close to needing it). Recomend using fire eles at the start as they can alse take the chains spell :P I forgot to check if grounding totems take it too, would make life a heall of a lot easier.

I've managed to 4 man the nexus (4 ele shammies) and it is a real pain in the ass imo.

Edit: All lvl 70 btw
