RE: the saronite boulder.

Seems a lot of people are struggling with this. Here's what I do.

I run 4 shaman. I group all 4 at the bottom of the stairs all the way to the right (as you are facing the stairs). Pull Garfrost and tank at top of stairs, so he is NOT facing the shaman (or he will do a cone AOE that hits them). In fact, I back my paladin up against the side of the top of the staircase on the left side (as you are looking at the stairs from the bottom) for reasons described below.

DBM will make a sound when he is casting the boulder. When that sounds comes out, I look at the screen and see who it's being cast on (or you can look at Garfrost's target). There are only two choices for me.

1) he's casting it on my tank, which I completely ignore because the tank is already backed up against the side of the staircase and can't be knocked back so I don't care, or

2) he's casting it on one of my shaman. Since they are all grouped up together, at this time I just move the about 1/4 of the width of the stairs to the left and keep on trucking.

Rinse and repeat, never fails to work unless I screw up.

It was frost presence vs the totems. The totems get wiped by the rock. This is a great method. I am losing toons at the very end, but I got him.

THANKS!

This saved me some headache last night, thanks for the observation - was late and couldn't figure out why my totems kept getting ate
