Shaman burn-o-matic run

OMFG!

I started my 5 shaman team a while back now, and there have been a few bumps along the way and the odd break or 3 but yesterday I hit Outlands. After doing the standard entry level quest and gearing up ready to run Ramparts (for the 1 billionth time on the 1 billionth character). After failing miserably on my first couple of runs I decided to take drop one of the girls and take my Pally (70 Prot.) along.

So my group was 4xShaman (ele) + Pally. After a successful but slow run I decided for shit-and-giggles to take my level 70 Shaman instead of my paly. I did a quick respec from Resto to Ele and bought some shitty gear off the AH. After maxing out +dmg at a massive 300~ (yes sad I know) and potting up to the eye balls I thought to myself what the hell - I know where the GY is :)

38 minutes later I was wiping on the last boss. Grounding totems, I forgot the bloody grounding totems - DOH! So after recomposing myself and getting more coffee I was ready for another attempt. Grounding totems = easy mode! This guy went down quicker than a second cousing at a hill billy shindig.

Even though the 70 Shaman was woefully geared (all of it bought from the AH 45 minutes earlier) I was able to blitz throught Ramps faster than when I had my Prot Pally. So far my fastest run through Ramparts with the all Shaman burn-o-matic team is 31 minutes (walk in - walk out - reset).

I'm still amazed at just how quickly an all DPS team can blast through an instance. I had my doubts as to the viability of an all Shaman team but after doing this I'm happy to take on the world!

Just my 2 cents worth :)

That 5th DPS member is terribly convenient, especially when they can heal and drop an extra grounding/tremor/earthbind totem, too. ;) The success of my piss-poorly-geared team of enhancement shammies and how easily I succeeded at most instances up through ST is testament to that.

Grats and cool to hear. I am slowly leveling up a 5 elemental team and just itching to get into some instances.

From 55 to 65 i was mainly doing 5mans with my 70 druid specced as moonkin (instead of my imba feral gear) and 4 ellys.. worked alot faster.. Just nuke the shit out of all you see... I little trick there is to specc all your alts with Less threat.. while keeping your main without the talent.. also use earth or flame shock on alts.. and frost on main.. that way your main will take most heat and yo dont need to target healing around to much.. i use a key that make my main nuke and my alts /target main /lesser, which works fine in pve

Keep it going nuking style :D

Outland zones SOOOO much more fun than azeroth zones. Much better loot and much better xp.
