there isnt much to UK really.

1st boss,
place my shamans on the side(left or right, doesn't matter), put totems down, use hero, run in with my pally, use all agro abilties i have(hes undead) by the time ads spawn, he's dead

2nd boss
I kill the melle guy first, while having grounding down and chain healing my group...thats all :P

3rd boss
phase 1 is easy, and straight forward, just keep him max distance and faced away from the group, heal when You get hit by aoe.

phase 2
I use heroism before he gets up, once hes up I burn really hard, after 4-5 bolts I chain heal teh group, and use divine prot on the pally, also use lay on hands. Then burn burn burn and chain heal the grp when needed.

How long did it take to get to 72 and did u do any quest first or go straight to the intsance? Cause i cant quest at all ally ganking and waiting 15mins for a mob to spawn it sucks big time aswell how long did it take per a run? thanks

Unrested XP/hour for both Nexus/Keep (estimation @ playing reasonably serious)?

More or less viable as 5 dps?

Is the level of gear on your paladin necessary?

I've cleared Utgarde keep and nexus as a 5 ele shammy group so far. Been farming first 3 bosses in Nexus for XP (last one is horrible).

I must say, compared to any instances encountered before, these are damn hard! Trash isn't, but the bosstactics are just very multibox unfriendly (or well, 5-dps unfriendly)

UK gives me 6-7% xp per run, nexxus 10% (at lvl 71)

Protec Paladin + 3 Elemental Shamn + Resto Shaman
Lvl 70 - Utgarde Keep
Lvl 70 - Nexus
Lvl 71 - Azjol Nerub
Lvl 72 - Ahn'kahet (This was by far the best multiboxing challenge EVER! Thanks again to this community, it was a great gaming moment)

Hardly healing through trash. Going smoothly.

Lvl 73 - Drak'Tharon - Last boss the fight is awesome Nice shaman shield!
Lvl 74 - Gun'Drak - Mostly tank and spank bosses mainly those with higher hp, fun instance, got an awesome ring... Lvl 76 oh well...

The second boss in Keep hurts to hard its the caster that owns my shammys they are only 6khp so i cant get passed him. Might have to reset it everytime i get up to him :P

That is what i did when i did UB... I couldn't kill the first boss, so what i did was clear everything around him and then just reset. It took about 20-25 minutes to clear everything before him and i think i was getting about 1.5 bars per run.

well guess my shamans needs more gear b4 i try that place again, btw anyone noticed that wotlk quest rewards isnt really that gr8, i had tbc armor which was at tbc around average or bellow average, yet i hardly replaced any so far, sone approx 60 quests
