Could you show us what macros you use for your pali and priest? I'm running the same kind of group and I'm having issues with my mage getting agro all the time - I think mainly because I'm not using conscerate at every cooldown b/c I don't want to break a sheep if there is a mob sheeped.

And did you specc the aggro reduce for the mage?
If yes, i can't imagine how you cant hold aggro against the mage, should not be a problem, if you use Seal of Righteousness...
If you want to sheep, sheep direct at the beginning of the pull, so that the sheep is at maxrange to your mage, just pull the other mobs a bit away from the sheep and start consecrating...
In the 0-60 instances i never sheeped, in ramparts only 2 oder 3 times, to avoid the mobs which drop the mortal strike debuff!
I didn't use castsequence macros, you can see my buttonlayout in this posting: dual-boxer, trying tri-boxing for the first time
The macros are very simple just /assist Maintank /cast [spellname]
I've been using the blessing of wisdom, because I've worried about my pali running out of mana. I guess the judgement of wisdom should be enough though (yes I am using righteous fury). My mage is spec'd arcane, so that I could get the most passive DPS build I could get and that toon is spec'd with the agro reducing talents. I've been able to clear to the dragon in ramparts (haven't downed the dragon yet, I'm trying the nuking strategy - I've only tried that once though) I'll give it a go w/ blessing of judgement and see how that works out. The largest problem in the ramps is when I have those caster pulls and trying to get out of thier LOS to get them to bunch up - that's part of the main reason I sheep. On those caster pulls my priest gets agro. I'll work it out though. Thanks for your advice!!
How long do your clears usually take? I started my team, and its not moving too quickly in DM
Prot Pally // BM Hunter // Resto Shaman
Yeah ramparts is really tough, especially if you don't have a full "outland" geared group.
it makes the whole thing a lot easier if your chars are good equipped!
A normal run without wipes last ~1 + 1/2 hours, at the beginning of a team
its normal if you need longer, you are missing some of the "core" talents and maybe your gear isn't so good.
You could also try to deal some dps with you healer, if mana and healing output aren't a problem!
Kelevra you rock, heck I did not know it was possible to clear all those with just 3 man, I just leveled outside of dungeons the whole time and I was leveling 4 at a time, 3 at first but then buckled down and got more accounts. So gratz on being able to do those places and clearing them with your Trio team's.
Finally got the ramps on Farm - it was just all a matter of learning the pulls and handling the agro. The reason I am sealing wisdom is that my priest is dics, so I can go pretty much non stop with seal/judge wisdom. The tricky part for me was with the dudes that throw you up in the air and directly going after the clothies. I save a taunt for that and keep it out of the rotation and easy. 1st boss was easy, just spank and tank - watch out for adds. The dragon boss was easy after I nuked the dragon before starting the event - and the run directly over to the dragon as soon as it lands and take it out. The demon boss was the toughest for me. But finally after reading some strats for that boss, I just spread out my toons to preven the aura from causing problems, and buffed shadow resistance (priest and pali) lots of throwing around in that fight too. Take out the demon adds asap, and save a taunt for being thrown around here too. I gained two levels and more deaths (and repairs than I can count) figuring this instance out.
I think my main problem was I didn't know how to do instances and I just jumped in feet first, it was painful - but so worth it when I finally downed every boss w/o wiping.
nice one, but keep in mind, that shadow protection from the priest and the paladins shadow aura not stack.
so you can switch the paladins aura to devotion or something else ;P
Yeah I was just reading up on resistances this morning and I came across the information that no resistance buff stacks - that's pretty crappy IMO. Pretty soon, Mark of the Wild and Blessing of Kings won't stack either because they are too similar.
Whoa, bad idea on BoW!!! Use blessing of sanctuary on your pally. It reduces all incoming damage by 3% and gives you mana when you block/dodge/parry. Even if you blessed kings instead of sanctuary on your paladin, you should pretty much never run out of mana. You get mana from all the incoming heals.Quote:

Always have seal of righteousness up. Pull with avengers shield, lay consecrate, and spam hammer of righteousness. I'd be interested to see what your talent spec is. Holding aggro with a pally is pretty darn easy.
