Utgarde Keep 1st Boss

elementals is a great idea, however with new magma changes there really is no need to use them. Just drop magma totems and everyone hug tank, will maximize dps and take care of tombs.

Its 2 key things that i have been using as 5x dps. Done it in the same way as 4+tank.

1: Have a /castrandom grounding totem, lightening bolt type of macro that will take most of the dmg from the boss away from your team. This is a macro that i would say all shammy teams should have for maximizing the use of groundings.

2: I start on max range. And i will pop out some fire elementals there. ¨

= Basicly what will happen is that the fire elementals will be out of range to attack the boss but they will kill the frost thingi directly and all inc adds coming. And you can basicly just nuke here down, throughing some heals now and then to tip off. Some runs it have happen that the elementals move forward as the boss comes in range at a point. She is like randomly moving around so its hard to say... Sometimes they will change to the adds if so, but if not just pop some TS. But with the right dps going she should be down before this will give any trubble. GL :D

Oh man, this is a great idea! I have been getting my butt kicked trying to kill that boss and didn't want to go through the pain of setting up an FTL keyclone hostring X 5 for targetting the frost thingies. Going to try this out this afternoon.

This worked great! Dropped two rocks close to the boss and 3 fire eles towards the back. Also helped on the adds..thunderstorm took them down to low health then the fire eles finished them and was back ready to hit next frost tomb.

Finally, at 73/74 I downed him last night. The reward was such an upgrade that I immediately left the instance to go turn in.

What I had been trying was to stop my shammies back and drop all my totems before I aggroed, even tho that didn't work half the time, he'd aggro anyways and I'd be starting a fight I wasn't ready for. Instead, I ran all right up to him and started tanking as I dropped my totems (took some creative finger work since my totems are on my G keys on my G15 keyboard, and my tanking macro is the ` key, and heals are F1 :p )

First adds/tomb I dropped 4 fire novas, second adds/tomb I thunderstormed, and followed that pattern, healing and chain lightning when I could.

After the first fire novas went off, I dropped 4x fire eles. After that it was cake, with the fire eles taking the adds and tombs.

I use the /target frozen tomb
But what I do is park my guys in the hallway real close to the doorway in a semi circle that way they can all attack the frozen tomb
there all fairly close together. Then I pull with the pali run back and los em that way he comes running into the door way.
Since everyones close I just let consecrate and Holy Wrath take care of the adds.
If the guy decides to move around I can los em to get em back to where everyone can attack

This is exactly what I do to pull the adds b4 the boss and the boss itself. I los them to the hallway where my team is in a semi circle so they can all dps each other.

Fighting in the open is far to hard to control adds and keep the boss in range/in front.

I use a seperate big dps/tanking macro when frost tomb is up

/target frost tomb
/cast spell

and I beat the boss and the 4 mob pull b4 her every time. I also zoom each window on my toon so I can see when the frost tomb has been dpsed off.
