My first Heroic clear on the full team.

I've done tons and tons and tons of heroics, UK is probably the easiest. But I've never 5 boxed a heroic. I finally spent some time working out how best to do my healing, so I test drove the new keys to target each party member and throw a lesser healing wave on them and it worked very well. I only had 1 death the entire run, the DK ate a smash on the last boss. But I'm very happy to report success. Now to farm the hell out of it :_)

lol I've done a bunch of heroics 4 boxing with a healer friend of mine, and I raid on the druid, but full 5 boxing. I'm still carving out my niche. :_D

Gratz

Congrats! UK was the first heroic I had on farm status with my DK + 4x elem shaman team. Good luck and have fun!!

I thought that too o.O

Grats!

Give Gundrak a try next. A few custom macros/strats are needed there and then its not to tough.

Gundrak is definitively very easy, only the Colossus can give some problem, but it is not that hard.

Violet Hold is easy too, but you have to know the instance (both trash and bosses) pretty well as you are quite always on the move.

Good work and gratz!

Quick question here. I just RAFed --exclusively questing-- my 5 boomkins to 60 and tested very shortly instance-running with hellfire ramparts. After some trial and error
and macro-improving it seems the trash mobs are no problem, but I guess at the bosses, I will need also a tank&healer concept, so:

Can you give a rough idea of how you manage your team, especially the tank and the healer? Don't need the details, just your "modus operandi" as an inspiration, which
hopefully will hold up later with heroics as well :) ...

I'm working on a larger write up, but "in a nutshell" this is how I manage my group: I drive with my tank. F1 on everyone is /follow. F2 on everyone BUT the DK is /assist party1. The DK runs /assist party1 / follow party1 (This is how I manage to get him in melee range) The Resto Sham F2 is a /tar party1 So tank is always the heal target unless specificed. My main spam is Swipe on the tank, a Cast sequence DPS macro on the DK. The 2 elem shaman's Trinket + EM + LB macro. The Resto sham does nothing.

I just go to town swiping stuff down. Swipe is about the most spam and forget tanking method for druid. I have a tanking macro I use for bosses. So in a normal fight the tank is spamming swipe, DK is rocking socks off with his DPS macro, and I manually cast shaman spells. FS, LvB, LB, CL, LB, LvB, Rines & Repeat. I have F4, F5, F6, F8, to /tar DeathKnight/RestoSham/Elem1/Elem2 /cast Lesser Healing Wave respectively. This way I can do targeted fast heals and the resto shamn just needs to be told F2 to get back on the druid for tank heals. since F2 is me changing everyone's target, it's no big deal.

I also have Riptide F8, OhShit (NS+HW) F9, Healing Wave F10, Lesser Healing Wave F11, Chain Heal F12. So I can be very precise in tank healing. 60% of my heals are chain healing the Tank and the DK.

Thanks a lot, that makes perfect sense. I was to much worried/fixiated with a very complicated healer-setup (for every toon and
with every possible healing spell), your description helped me a lot in this regard, thanks again. :)

Also, I was considering a variation of "park_the_swipingFeral_and_stick2healTree_as main" (exactly for that "complicated" reason above), but the other
way round you are making it makes more sense. I'm looking forward to my all-druid-tank-healer-boomkins-setup for bosses (where necessary that
is, otherwise I'll go out all 5xboomkin-mayhem 8) )

I had done some BC reg runs with my druid healing and my DK tanking, but since then, my Druid has gone back to being feral and MTing for a 25 man guild. So his tank gear is leaps and bounds over what the DK currently has access to. One thing I am considering is leveling up a priest to be my healer. We'll just have to see.

I also struggeled thinking healing was overly complicated but it just takes setting up a system that makes sense and works for you.
