I think its safe to say that whatever Niley believes to be standard is beyond the reach of us mere mortals.

You mean farming him on 2 teams from 70-71? o.O Which a lot of us have done, same with clearing all of other instances.
Its all goes down to practice, watch Hachoo strats and you should be ok, adds shouldn't go anywhere but tank for example, you just need to position correctly.
its even all of my toons achievements, cleared UK 22 times on normal.

Frost Aura and Prayer of Shadow Protection. I don't know if you are doing it or not, but don't DoT the tombs. Just Shadow Bolt them or something. I would think Holy Nova/Hellfire would also work to clear up the tombs.

Out of curiousity, what are your teams, and do you consider the group make-up of others? I mean , the nature of the beast is that we all set things up a bit differently, which means difficulties will vary from encounter to encounter. Barring the tried and true "Throw shamans at it".

My thoughts are that there are about a dozen different factors that can cause road-blocks, from macros that need re-worked, to group synergy, to proper itemization, to talents, etc etc. Its more than just a matter of people having already done it, so it should come naturally to any who follow.

paladin/3 shamans/warlock <- main team
Dk/3 warlocks/priest <-up and coming team

of course every set up differs, even my own set up for my main team in past almost 3 years changed at least 5 or 6 times.

Some tips for this boss:

- Frost resist aura for the pally, shadow protection from the priest.
- The boss doesnt do any AoE, so stack your followers on the boss as well.
- AoE frost tombs down - consecration from pally and RoF from locks. If you're stacked on the boss, the AoE will also damage boss & skellies.
- Cleanse decrepify if cast on tank, ignore on the others (it's a str & movement debuff only)
- Pallies can DS out of frost tomb in emergencies - just remembet to cancel it straight away, becuase the boss will pound your alts while it's up.

Whats the gear/spec like on your toons? Can you link armories for them? This guy should be pretty easy for a level 74, so not sure why you're struggling without more info...
