My video I actually ignored the frost tombs to try for the achievement (i must have killed one though because I didn't get it).

Best method IMO when you first start out is to drop 4x fire elemental totems (and don't forget 4 healing stream totems). Basically run to the boss with your shamans directly behind you, as soon as you reach the boss drop 4x healing stream, 4x fire elemental, and then go to town. The fire elementals will kill the adds, the frost tombs, and help damage the boss.

Alternatively you can drop magmas, you just have to remember to keep refreshing them every 8 or 10 seconds or however long they last :)

I am busy doing my first heroic, right now. I always hated this Keleseth guy on normal mode. Now, I followed you strategy by the letter, and I killed him easily !

I am so happy right now, I got my first ever badge on my first ever heroic instance. I know it's old story for most of you, but this really makes my day ! It really feels like an achievement. I like this feeling. :)

Thanks a lot to all of you for all the tips and advices. This is a great community !

congrats!

My strat for this has been to clear the 4 mobs in his room, set my shaman up on the stairs just before his room and then pull him to the doorway of the stairs. I stack right in front of my shaman and drop magma totems which takes care of frost tombs and does more dps on the boss. The summoned adds have to run thru the doorway and thru my consecration and holy wrath+magma totems drops em pretty quick.

I think this is the proper macro for the frost tombs....

/assist focus
/target Frost Tomb
/cast Lightning bolt

I would probably just have my main do it
/target the prince
/target forst tomb
/cast xxx

or on the main again
/target forst tomb
/targetenemy [noexists]
/cast xxx

All you have to do for frost tomb is to add it in any attack macro after your /assist line, for instance...

/assist focus
/target frost tomb
/cast chain lightning


or w/e your macros look like. I recommend putting it on your "spam" button, or in other words the attack button you hit the most.

You also never have to take this line out of your macros either. I put it in my spam button 3 months ago and never took it out. that way I never even have to think about it when i do fight the prince.

This encounter became flat out trivial once I did this. Same as TDog, I only recently noticed it was in my spam DSP button as I wanted to change my mage macro and needed the space.

The "I Have Macro LOL" might be a solution for these fights that require specific macros.

"IHML is an addon that gives you one macro which automagically changes what it is depending on what zone you're in or which BigWigs boss module is enabled"

Kind of funny, kind of not

I was getting char limited on my dps macro so Instead of /target frost tomb I started using /target fro but when I went to gundrak/moorabi and forgot to comment out the line I wiped due to the mages targeting a frog!!!(this has happened several times). Deciding that I would fix this, I changed the macro from target fro to target frost to fix it. This worked until I was useing a frost totem and wiped due to the mages targeting it!!!!

this simple little line makes the price fight easy for me, but it has probably cost me 300-400g in repair bills :)

I never worry about the frost tombs, didn't even know you could blast them away until I saw someones macro here for them. I've found with 1 pally and 4 shammies that it doesn't really matter if 1 is tombed. The biggest problem I had was with the adds beating on my shammies so I used to drop an earth ele which worked ok and then remembered thunderstorm. So now I have 4 thunderstorms on a castsequence so they're staggered and that takes care of the adds without issue. I got him down in 41 secs on Monday according to bossmods so I'm pretty happy about that.

What I do is clear the guys nearest the entry / rest and then target the prince and run in with the shammies on follow dropping totems as they near him and the pally grabs aggro with AS, then they go to town and DPS him down. I haven't tried any other method as this seems to work well.

When I had less health it was a bit of an issue and had to heal a lot which grabbed aggro from the skellies, but now I'm sitting on around 31k buffed so can concentrate more on dps. I've found the skellies attack the shammies even though Omen is reporting that I have a big lead on aggro so maybe it's just an encounter mechanic, not sure.

The pally has shadow aura up which seems to help a bit.

Fire elementals didn't work for me - they aggro'd the boss and stayed on the boss.

Magma totems don't work either. They never did enough damage to keep off the adds AND the ice.

Breaking your dps rotation to chain heal didn't work for me. I can clear up to him without much problem, but it must be a gear thing to get past him. To do heroics, haha, you need heroic gear.

EDIT: Best I can get him to is 20%. All the vid's I've seen the tanks have 25k health, so I guess the lowest you can go into a heroic is that (which my tank ain't at)
