[How-to] 5x Paladins Disscusion

[Shodokan]

I would say he and Ionar are the same toughness. Also the new boss in IC 5 man has a puddle AoE that does 9k per tick. Yes 9k.

Your tank should be at over 40k when you are geared enough for the new content... so for him it wont be a problem... if your pallys are engi just use rocket boots =P

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

My tank is never the problem in paladin groups, its your dps dying to AoEs that is the problem. Mine are at 23kish unbuffed and when collosus drops his nastiness they die pretty fast. I imagine that at 9k a tick they will die faster to Ick and Crick.

Since the PTR I have had some practice at Ick and can avoid most of his goo puddles before they can dmg me. If the server is laggy or im getting higher ping then do eat some of his dmg but its not too terrible. I back peddle alot while DPSing but this does require my dps to be standing ontop of my tank so they stay in sync.

Collosus drops the puddles more frequently but with a bubble or group LoH can brute force him down pretty quick. Just isnt as much room for moving around on this boss.

[Multibocks]

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

[remanz]

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.
