[How-to] 5x Paladins Disscusion

Killed him again and lost a pally again. It's in this video:

Still don't know how he does that much aoe to them. Oh well. Gundrak is definitely my least favorite instance overall, not just because of colossus.

finally tried heroic dtk again and completed it (my first heroic). Novos was really simple, only boss i sometimes wipe on is trollgore, sometimes he does his corpse explosion and it's an insta wipe, sometimes it barely does any damage... Hardest part for me in this instance is the beginning: if i have a pull with 2 soulmages and they cast their ground aoe at the same time, it's a wipe.

I dual specced 1 ret to holy, and i like the playstyle a lot more. Did CoS hc today, i wiped on my first try at malgannis (healer died). Second try i didn't get the healer in melee range and it went much better, allthough he still died with malgannis at 30%. I got him wih only my tank alive at 4k health

Something else: i still have a lot of quests to do (half of icecrown, half of stormpeaks, full zul'drak). Any specific questlines i should complete first for rep and dailies? (or even better gear???)

here's my armory:

Tank: Paladra
Ret1: Paladre
Ret2: Paladri
Ret3: Paladro
Healer: Paladru

1. You should never have to deal with two. Turn Undead Repentance.
2. Shadow res aura
3. /follow healer

I did this yesterday on my shaman team and there really isnt enough real estate to run around the boss. I won, but I kept thinking, "Did they design this area such that you BARELY have enough room to avoid boss before he leashes?" There isnt a whole lotta focus time to take this guy down. You get it in small parts, so the fight takes forever.

Ok so I just found out that Ionar is pretty much impossible for me to kill. So much for HoL. I see no way of being able to kill Ionar and have wasted way too much gold.

Pop divine shield on whichever pally gets the static overload debuff

I have problems with Ionar too. Bubble only save me once, 2nd time he cast debuff on the same guy then I am done. Too much healing needed where my 4 rets can't cover it. Need some AOE heal. I am given up on this boss too until I get better gears so I can just zerg through. I did spread out, but my mana plus damage couldn't last me through the fight.

Yeah, but he loves to do the same pally more than once. He does the static overload a hell of a lot. I think the only idea I have is to set 3 paladins aside and not even have them enter. Then spec 1 holy to heal, and just 2 man the fucker with those two.

I wouldn't be so frustrated if this instance didn't have 2 drops that I need, especially one off the last boss (a +def trinket).

Cleared Utgarde Pinnacle last night. Almost to 80! Skadi was a little tough to figure out what to do. I basically had everyone spread out when he whirlwinds, then whichever paladin is getting hit dies. Never thought about bubbling that paladin....dang.

maybe someone can help me out with this question, as i've not been able to figure it out. All these click macro's look awesome, and i understand the concept, but how are we supposed to use this if we have a action bar addon like macaroon for instance(the addon that i prefer) I have no idea what button is what. lol is there a way to figure that out thru macro / ingame syntax?
