Did an Instance (Shadowfang Keep)

[Sam DeathWalker]

Ok wanting to try out Keyclone idea of doing 5 instances at the same time so I went to Shadowfang Keep.

Using a Pal and 4 Shaman and die a bunch of times but finally won against 5 mobs. Then some PvP started on my guys standing outside lol ... well it is a pvp server.

I guess wearing basically no gear and the simple fact is that although Shaman do get the Fire Nova Totem and Pal has consecrate at their level (22-26) their aoe powers are just not all that great. It takes a long time to kill the mobs (3-4 totems each, as the mobs kill the totems a lot). By that time everyone is low or zero mana. I need to work on getting camera angles exactly the same or have everyone in first person to do multiple instances at the same time. These random camera settings are not good.

But I did get my mouse to be perfect in sync on all 5 computers. So can start the mouse in the upper left and move it perfectly to a point on all 5 computers (5 characters) and then left or right click at the exact same point of the screen (which may not be the same game spot cause of camera). That will pay off over time I am sure.

At any rate I think Ill give it another try after the patch taking away threat from totems (that should help a LOT). Also at level 40 when mail kicks in I think my servivability will go up a lot.

wait, so are you soloing each instance?? Or just 5 groups doing 5 instances?

he's doing five separate groups doing the same instance, though only 5 can be together at once.


unless.... you can change it to a raid group. but only some instances can be changed to raids.

Sadly, none of them now. Except LBRS.

Damn I wish I had ten boxed during the glory days.

What I did was just send in 5 to a single instance to see how it goes.

The overall plan though is to do 5 of the same instances at the same exact time.

make sure you use your stoneclaw totems Sam, this will give you those extra 3-4 seconds for your novas to detonate.
It will also reduce the damage your guys are taking

also make sure you equip everything you can. some random cloth item with spirit on it (for example) is better than nothing at all.

[Icetech]

yeah.. stoneclaws are key in the instances... will save your butt.. and don't pull with chain lighting... i made that mistake for like ohh..... 20 levels the mobs will ignore your stoneclaw if you nail 3 of em with CL

[Multibocks]

Interesting that you are dieing with a standard tank +4 dps/healer setup. Should be fairly easy as I think I only wiped on the bosses when I leveled up. Well except for the accidental pulls + patrol group.

[keyclone]

depends... if he's entering the instance early at a fairly low level without quality gear, he could get wiped fairly easy

[Sam DeathWalker]

Well this is what I use on all 4 shaman:

/castrandom Fire Nova Totem, Healing Wave, Fire Nova Totem, Stoneclaw Totem, Fire Nova Totem,


Maybe I should take out the healing wave ...
Or I can put one shaman on Stonclaw totem and healing the Pal only.

That might be best.

/target Samdeathwkzz
/castrandom Healing Wave, Stoneclaw Totem, Stoneclaw Totem, Stoneclaw Totem, Stoneclaw Totem, Stoneclaw Totem, Stonclaw Totem,

And then:

/Cast Fire Nova Totem

on the other 3, and consecrate on the Pally.


Well I die casue I just starting, like I said at the end of the day I did live, again 5 mobs but for sure if there were more mobs I be dead. The shaman are basically naked, the Pally has some decent gear though but some empty spots as well. Also thats with 5 mobs each time, I doubt I would die if I was single killing. It looks like they are killing 40 percent of the totems, maybe with a guy just casting stoneclaw I should do better.

Actually I have 400 gold now from the xmas sales and can afford to gear up all my guys with trade skill items, but I was figure to wait for level 40 to do that as why waste money on leather now only to replace with chain later ...
