5box: Pally - 3 Ele - 1 Resto at lvl 80 -- Help Plz

[wowbusnman]

Hello all,

I've got a 80 Pally (Prot), 3 Ele Shamans and 1 Resto Shaman as my 5box. The Pally is lvl 80, the Shamans are 78.

I've started doing some Northrend instances and have had trouble. Up to this point I was questing and BGing for exp.

There are a few issues.

1. My team is running through a lot of mana on each pull. Two pulls and then I drink.

2. I can't seem to get the keybinds to lineup in an effective way. I'd be curious to hear about how you use 1 thru = and seperate out the spell choices for the 3 different roles.

Thoughts / help?

Thanks.

Well, on my setup I use click regions for heals wich make my healing as efficient as any other healer.
For dps I've just put a /castsequence macro on the 3 elementals on button 1-5 wich basically just assists whatever I am doing on my tank.

On my tank I stick to using button 1-5 for basic tanking skills and alt/ctrl/shift + 1 through = for abilities that I just want my tank to do.

Button 6, 7 and 8 are set up with the class heals that just do selfheals.

A few suggestions:

1) Use Thunderstorm between pulls.
2) Don't drop 16 totems per pull. For PvE, its usually sufficient to drop just Strength of Earth, Totem of Wrath, Mana Stream and Wrath of Air. If the mobs use alot of spells in a certain school, drop that resistance totem as well.
3) Don't Flame Shock/Lava Burst everything. Lightning Bolt is the most mana efficient spell. Use Chain Lightning/Chain Heal only for emergencies.
4) For the Paladin, use Divine Plea and Blessing of Sanctuary. If you are running OOM, pull more mobs at a time. If you are only fighting one mob, don't use Consecrate/Hammer. Shield and Judgement should be more than enough threat to keep aggro.
5) Get the minor glyphs for Kings/Thunderstorm. Every little bit helps.

I use key 1 for single target threat macro, key 2 for multi target threat macro, key 3 for lightning bolt, key 4 for chain lightning, key 5 for flame shock, key 6 for lava burst, key 7 for elemental mastery/trinket, key 8 for PvE totems, key 9 for PvP totems, key 10 for totemic recall, numpad 1-5 for lesser healing wave on each party member, numpad 6 for lesser healing wave focustarget, numpad 7 for lesser healing wave self, numpad 8 for chain heal self, numpad 9 for thunderstorm. Oh, and I use 4x Elemental Shaman, rather than 3 + a Resto.
