Have you considered staying outside the chamber and dps from there? The have the tank near the boss. This way your dps and healer is "out of range". This possible if you position your dps and healer correctly.

It's a bit of a cheat

Tried that still died, also die to the amount of time it took me to get her positioned close enough for my hunters to shoot her I only go her to about 80% before she did the throw and split.

Edit : One thing i think i will try is just as the bouncing ends I will pop deterrence on my hunters. This will give me a few seconds to top everyone up, get aggro on the 3 mobs and hopefully turn my hunters around. I will prob bind antimagic shell to the same button for greatly reduced damage in the block. I dont think my shaman has anything similar *goes to look at shaman spells*
but yes any other tips people can think of still very much welcome.

Did you activate Click to Move[=CTM] and Interact with target [=IWT] (keybind) on all alts ?

then after "landing" again you can press the IWT button and use the hunters ability to disengage which gives you some distance to shoot.

just an idea.

shammy:

use Frost and fire resist totem maybe. (but then you loose healing totem)

I still find her a PITA even now. At level I had problems getting her to the dps when standing outside the room too, but found if I pulled her then stood my tank back against the far wall (i.e. beyond your other toons) she would come after 1-2 casts. Then tank her just inside the room. When she splits be sure to stop dps until you've picked them all up, then dps one at a time - if you spread your toons out along the wall only 1-2 should get hit by any aoe.

Alternatively you could spread your team round the room then when she bounces you IWT and backstep immediately so they just move to face her. This way they should be spread out still so don't get aoe'd, again be sure to stop dps until you;ve picked up all 3 when she splits.

You need to run "away" with your tank and have her chase after you so she stays in range of the toons placed outside of the platform. But I must admit this fight is a B"!##".

Well, I have only done her with 5 paladins, and she's trivial that way (I don't think even one of them has died during the fight with her, and I started doing it at level 71) - the way I handle it is to have constant healing going in the form of instant heals (flash of light from an art of war proc) and the HOT that you can get from a crit. It seems to work.

So, in the case of shaman healers - healing stream totems x4, resistance totems as appropriate, and set yourself up with whatever other instant healing options there can be - potions? Or, if you can afford dual spec, make 2 of them have a resto dual spec, swap for that fight, and use earth shield or whatever?

I only have 1 shaman healer, the rest of the DPS are all hunters.


I had 1 quick go, RL has been getting in the way this week :/ Looks like it has a bit of promise but I need to tweak a bit more.

1 big issue is that IWT doesnt work with hunters, they dont even turn around, so I have to hit follow, and then stop follow to turn them around *sigh*
Earth Ele from the shaman is good, takes the aggro for me when they land.

Oof, that's rough - if IWT isn't working I don't know what to tell you. The bounce will hose you badly.

Or, actually - okay, does IWT let you go to melee range with the hunters? If so, after the bounce thing, IWT and then use whatever broadcast you have to back them all up a bit? They'll be facing the target and then can just move backward and they'll still be facing, unless IWT doesn't work at all, in which case, yeah, you're screwed.

You could force facing... with the jewelcraft item: Dark Jade Focusing Lens.

Nope, the only reason IWT works with other classes is they default to "whack them in the head" so in order to hit them they need to turn around and run over there.

Hunters are a special and unique snowflake who default to "Shoot them in the face" so when you hit IWT thats what they do. Unless they are facing the wrong way in which case they just stand there and sigh a lot... my pets do go sprinting in though.

As long as I get my tank where I want them to face Follow and then break follow will turn them around, or as Ualaa says those focusing lens work as well.

Heh.. Didn't think to use it in this manner.. That's creative! I might use it for PoS heroic.. Those skelly trash boinks my slaves and turns them around (one at a time). Annoying but not fatal..
