Need a little TOC help

[Coltimar]

I am trying to figure out how to TOC :/ The jousting post is excellent but the trouble I have is that I get zonked for half of my life as soon as I get aggro on all 3 guys. I switch horses between waves 2 and 3 and the champions always de-horse early on. How can I get aggro and not get owned? I have my shields (key 4) up but still get nailed.

why do u want to keep aggro while jousting? the horses have an equal amount of hp.
I don't attempt to grab aggro, i select one, press my assist key and keep hitting key 4, 1 and 2.
Next target , same treatment.

I don’t wait for the 3-champs to come to me…Like other posters have said, I too position my toons at the wooden door; once the 3-knuckle heads are down I run to meet the champs. I back halfway to my other toons just into their ranged attack range….then promptly head to grab a new pony. After the initial beating they give my main target the damage seems to get dispersed between my other toons since they get agro by ranged attack while I grab a new one on my main.

Hope that helps a bit.

I am dragging the bag guys around and in front of my slaves. If I don't have aggro they chew up my slaves. If I switch to a slave to get him a new horse the IS Boxer/Jamba follow strobe comes on and everyone follows the active toon.

I never move my alts and typically never lose anyone on heroic mode, If you stand in front with your main he will get initial agro from the champs, he will keep it until he needs to change mounts (usually when the first guy is at about 30% health or so)

Ok, i'll try some of this stuff and see if I can improve a bit. Thanks.

why are you dragging them around? Turn off strobe follow. Stack them together. Mash 1 , 2 , 4.

I set my characters to all follow someone else, ie, char 1 follows char 2 who follows char 3 and so on. I wrote a macro that clicks PetActionButton1 and 2 (or is charge 3? regardless, the melee attack and the charge) and sets follow, so I just hit that macro and 4, and everyone follows and keeps shields up. Its not fool proof, but everyone generally keeps enough distance to charge, and if they don't charge they still swing. Just run back and forth over your target, generally a few seconds before turning around, and they should go down.

Well, I just discovered that my first attempt was on heroic :/ I'm gonna try on normal again. I am just trying to get the encounter down so I can farm some gear for my Team 2 tank.
