Hey all! I just got finished 5 boxing 10 man BoT and BWD and the gold hasn't been nerfed there yet! I made 1000 gold or so just from BoT. I can't kill Nefarian in BWD but everything else is easy peasey. The trash in BoT drops a ton of gold. Try it out if you want some quick easy cash.
Hmm, will give this a try thanks!
Whats your ilevel chivalrous?

Not to get too off topic, but could you tell me what your Enhancement Shaman is pulling DPS wise overall in a dungeon run.
And what is your Resto Druid healing rotation looking like?
how much healing did you need? trying to figure out if I need to bring in one of my shaman or druid with my 5 DKs
Heyaz-I needed quite a lot of healing for several of the bosses. I didn't check the healing meters afterward but I had to tranquility a few times and was running her rotation quite a bit. I also have my prot paladin using seal of insight that does about 15k HPS (with holy prism also) and my shaman has the Healing Tide Totem and my warrior has glyphed bloodthirst and second wind. My group has quite a bit of healing.
Ellay-I ran Shado Pan this morning and my overall recount was
Survival Hunter: 71,133
Fury Warrior: 44.573
Enhancement Shaman: 41,816
prot paladin: 26,220
i feel like my shaman and warrior should be doing better, st DPS is in 30k range often. I'm going to do done tweaking soon I've just been focusing on gearing then up. I have my DPS rotation on F key and my AoE on G key (including mael'strom weapon procs using Khatover's "micro-movement" technique to cancel full lightening casts) so these numbers are 1 button rotations using ISboxer and castsequence. I know my warrior is broken right now because his rotation is freezing up quite a bit, so take that recount with that in mind.
My resto Druid is great, I like him much more than the holy paladin I had. He uses invisaheals method where I use clique to set focus and heal focus macros to heal with. I have a macro on 1 mouse key for lifebloom, one for rejuv, and one for healing touch for emergencies. Mouse wheel up is my AoE rotation which summons my little tree buddies and spams wild growth and swiftmend. Mouse wheel down is ST healing that spams cenarion ward, swift mend, and glyphed regrowth. My glyphs are rebirth, regrowth, and wild growth.
Basically, I keep lifebloom and rejuv on tank. If I know aoe dmg is coming soon ill rejuv everybody. For aoe healing ill keep rejuv up and mouse wheel up for wild growth and swift mend, and single target ill rejuv, swift mend, and regrowth. I have wild mushrooms on same key as my shamans healing rain so in using that along with wild mushrooms.
Your enhancement shaman has the same ilvl as mine, and mine doesn't seem to even put out that much DPS (a lot of my gear is PvP oriented though). On a recount doing an instance I'll get in the low 30's I think overall. Where my DK's with crappier gear or possibly equal to will pump out 50k dps solid. I realize some of it is AoE but when I look at recount a bulk of it is really just straight single target damage.
If Enhance could pump out the numbers like I know it can I'd play it a lot more but it just seems to be lacking somehow or isn't able to be utilized like other classes because of the maelstrom procs.
I know my shamans DPS went up when I started putting the mael'strom procs Into the rotation and for Enh. I think gear matters quite a bit, but I'm right there with you I feel like the DPS should be higher which is why I want to tweak it. I think on my next weekend off I might just play the shaman by herself and really try to figure it out.
After looking at the drops. I definitely want the Druid and DK transmog sets out of here.
I was able to run BoT full clear with little issue - BWD is just a Pita. I think adding more players to the run would just make it overall less stressful.
For the Maloriak fight, did you delay your DPS so more of the adds would come out? I did it a few the fight a few times but ended up stopping because of the repair bill I added up after doing Atremedes and figuring out the encounter.. I still don't really understand the air phase but was able to dps him down far enough it wasn't an issue.
For it to be worthwhile / profitable. Need to run without wiping so much but that is mostly just learning the encounters. I like to run in without looking at any strat and then when I wipe say wtf just happened and go from there.
The good news is you can buy most of the set I want for my characters via justice points. I just need to find the fastest way to gain that, it may even be through bg grinding oddly enough and converting the honor.

i have no idea how to do Nefarion. He killed me like 10x and I gave up. :(
If you play alliance we could crz it and do it together
Yep! I'm on Alliance let's do it up sometime! I'll pm you my RealId.
What's the strat for magmaw on your 5-team ? I can't seems to kill the worms and dps the boss in time...
Might be a gear issue for you, I tab to worms and aoe them down quickly and easily, then switch back to boss. He always dies quickly. If your team is melee be careful to not fall off into the lava. I pop all cool downs at the start.Quote:

They spawn behind my team, I switch target (tab) to them and aoe. I really don't have anymore strategy than that. I have to heal my team a bit, but it's nothing major.
thanks for the tips. will give it another whirl....Quote:

No problem. The first boss in BoT is pretty easy--pick a few random dragons that are chained up and release them. Doing so decreases halfus's power and debuffs him. You could probably just free 2 and kill them and he should be easy, but if you're still taking to much dmg kill a third.
