Got owned in RCF

Did my first instance with my 5 box yesterday (4 lvl 9 sham and a 26 pally). I thought it was going to be easy. The only thing i can say is that i have even more respect for people that do heroics and for the 2 boxers that are doing kara. Even with the lvl 26 there i was still having problems, could only pull 2 mobs at a time if i pull 3 i come close to dieing. One problem that i found out was the mana pool that my shams had. I could only take out 2 mobs back to back before they where oom. I was also having trouble healing the pally. On a good note, lucky that my pally isn't too high and i am learning how to work as a group without worrying too much. Thinking about farming that place until the mobs go gray to the shams and then try sfk (any thoughts)?

Just 2 questions on healing, right now when i want to heal 1 sham heals and the other 3 casts bolts. Should i have it so that all 4 shams heal then go back to bolts or should i just spam bolt and have pally heal self?

I'll search the forms to see if can find any posts for noobs in instances.

I thinking it will get easier when i get better totems and have better spells.

I honestly have no advice for RFC.. I was too scared to try it without my healing stream totems, that I waited to instance until level 20. Don't get discouraged, it takes a little while for Shaman to become bad ass. Once you've got your totems, it gets much easier. Hang in there!

Didn't touch a single instance until 20, quests in the starting area give massive xp and are quick to do.

I started Instancing with 13(Tankadin 16 cause of Righteous Fury) but @ 14 you get the new Lightning Bolt that helps a lot.

I think level9 is to low for the place, evenw ith a higher lvl. The shammies are likely to pull agro from great distances.

I cleared RFC at level 11x5 with 4 shaman and a warrior.

It was tough. I wiped twice and came close to wiping a lot of times.

I dinged 12, suddenly it was like, 10 times easier.

My advise, go there once your shammies are 12+ xD

I'd wait till level 10 on your shaman. The rock elemental are nature resistant.

I cleared the place with 1 druid/4 shaman team at lv 13 but with difficulty. Once you hit 14 you get the new lightning bolt, which as stated earlier helps a ton.



Once at 14 I was able to do clear the place much much easier.

Cleared it yesterday with the sham at lvl 11 and pally lvl 26. Glad that my pally was a higher lvl, wasn't too much over powered but didn't have to worry about healing too much. Got about little less then a lvl clearing RCF. Turning in the 5 quests that where in there got the rest of lvl 12 and put me to lvl 13. I think that i have a better understanding about instances with multi boxing. Probably going to stick to RCF until like around lvl 18 then try SFK. This might be a little tougher though, the pally wont be that much higher then the mobs, but at least my sham will have better skills.

I know that questing will probably be faster to lvl, but trying to lvl enchanting on the 4 shams, better drop rate for greens and blues in instances then questing i think.

I got through on 14 without too much trouble.

Flame shock came in handy for the rock elementals.
