If you use Seed of Corruption to deal with the zombie adds, Frost Tomb is almost a non-issue. Seed the boss when adds are up or just about ready to stand up, and Seed him again if someone gets tombed at a bad time, and both adds and tombs should be under control.
how would one go about adding up /target icy tomb in isboxers FTL assist? do I add it before the FTL part(the long line with modifiers for all characters) or after the FTL part in isboxer?
I have it before and my dps shamans did not even target the tombs I think. hard to look at my other screens when I am tanking.
or would I have to have a seperate assist button to target these tombs, charming totems, etc?
I read this somewhere on here but it has work for me too.An easy Trick to do this boss is L.O.S.(Line of sight) him if your under gear and can't go toe to toe with him. Make the macro for frost tomb like everyone says.i do /target frost tomb /cast what ever spell.Clear the 4 guy in front of Prince Keleseth then go clean out the hallway to the right of him.Line everyone up near the inside wall to the right of the door if your in the hallway about 15 ft away. Make a slight curve line or inverted flying V with the slaves where they can target each other and the door.Have tank go run and pull boss into the hallway.Make sure to get him in the room where dps can light him up.As soon as he enters the add's show up and drop aoe totems or whatever you have they should spawn right in front of you and not from behind you.Take care of frost tomb on whoever gets in and back on Boss.I don't know if they change reg Up compared to Heroic.But Heroric I think the Boss is not Immune to attack when the adds are out but not sure of it ,didn't seem like it.This tricks works on the 2nd boss in DTK all the way on the top of the stair Add's spawn right infront of you and easy to control and after the waves of Add's run everyone down and kill the boss
I had a some trouble with this boss on normal mode, until I just had my team follow my tank around during the whole fight.
I did some AOE healing during the fight and managed it this way.
I guess you can't do this on heroic but it might work :)
just put
/assist focus
/target frost tomb
at the top of your dps macro. I use a /click macro setup and the first /click has all my conditional targets in there like the frost tombs, ley guardian welps, nexus voids, Old Kingdom guardians etc.
Would seeding the boss work? I haven't played lock sense wrath but i use to love seed. With 2 you will always have 1 out to seed and if they don't get a lock you have 2 locks and more seeds. Just clump everyone together and when the warning comes up just seed. This would probably help with the skeletons.
I am struggling on UK with a 5x warlock team levels are 80,77,77,77,77.
I can't even get through the hallways up to keleseth without keeping an Infernal up. Without the infernal at-most I can burn through 3 elites before one of my toons are about to die. I tried going in with an even spectrum of demons (for all stat boosts) and also a full set of VWs as tanks. Infernal > *.
Once at kelesth, I've died over and over. My only kill resulted from:
1) Buff +Armor, Summon 5 Infernals, Life Tap, Bandage
2) Haunt Boss, Infernals Aggro Boss
3) Immolate Boss
4) Get all toons within AoE Range of Bosses, for this I just Target and Attack
5) While moving into AoE Range, drop Corruption and CoA.
6) Once stopped in Melee Range cast UA, Life Tap twice, Drain Life Twice
7) During the second Drain Life the Minions are within AoE range.
8) Interrupt your Drain Life and begin casting Rain of Fire, wiping Minions. Repeat if anyone still in Frost Tomb (/tar Frost Tomb was fail for Raid DPS. 5x AOEs worked far better.)
9) Boss is probably Debuffed, re-cast Corruption & CoA, re-apply Haunt
The remainder of the fight:
If Frost Tomb is up, AOE until gone.
If Minions are up, AOE until gone.
If Mana Too Low for AOE, Life Tap
After a Life Tap, Pop Trinkets for 1500 HP and then Death Coil Keleseth for an HP boost
Re-apply Corruption, CoA and UA as they debuff, or save Mana for AOE.
I took down Keleseth and my entire team was seconds away from wiping (an AOE causing 1000 damage would have killed everyone) and all Infernals either dismissed due to time limit or died.
I tried this tactic once before and lost with Keleseth down to 3K HP and another time 80K HP (ick!)
I'm not well geared, at all, but with an 80 and 4 L77's one would think Keleseth would be easier?
Also, Recount's real-time Raid DPS Graph shows the team putting out >4800 DPS during the fight with keleseth when all dots are ticking (~3k on shorter fights). What kind of DPS should I expect to see (this is my first time hitting L80.)
Thanks.
I just did my first heroic clear, i.e. utgarde keep. I didn't bother to target the ice tombs on first try, just spread my team out. This because i still have the rambo attitude from questing. But lost aggro with the tombs and got wiped. So then i added the target tombs to my assist macro (which is not part of my dps macro), and had my team on follow. I popped my totems as soon as i got aggro with my tank. Popped elementals who took care of the prince while i could aggro the adds with my tank. And then it's basically a constant tab spam fest (i.e. change targets while spamming dps key). This way all tombs and adds went down almost immediately.
So with my guys on /follow, the /target frost tombs, fire elementals and constant target switching it was a very easy fight.
Wiped on the next 2 bosses on the stairs cause i thought they were trash and my healer was still eating/drinking :P Second try i just burned them down without taking care of the adds.
Got ingvar down on first try. Spread out my team. First phase i burned him down and didn't need any healing besides riptide, when he comes back i did the same but then he does some aoe which brought my team down to 50% health in a second or 2, chain healed and kept dps'ing and he went down rather easy. The prince is def. the hardest part of utgarde for me.
Added a screenie as the previous poster asked what dps is needed (zenga is tank, vasco, trejo & ugo dps, poison healer. The shammies have all the same pvp gear (the stuff obtained through honor) and almost not hit rating. Just my tank is defense capped. So it's def. possible with crap gear.

The two bosses on the stairs is also a bit of a challenge for me. I tend to just Hammer them down as fast as possible. I start with the melee, and then when he is resurrected I taunt him to my tank and do some swipe hits to keep him hitting my tank, while I dps the caster down.
The final boss is pretty easy.
Really with the two guys on the stairs you should burn down the cast first, then ignore him when he rezs and just burn down the melee guy, makes it VERY easy, also make sure to bunch up your guys on them both and this prevents melee guy from charging any toons.
