Aggro management

[dancook]

Do i just talk on the forums for the sake of it?

running WC at the mo with 18 pala, warlock, s priest and 17 h priest, mage..

Just had a pull of 2 raptors and a druid, one raptor down called 4 more raptors and it all went fine! kept everything on the paladin and nuked them one at time.

It's sooo nice to be in control of the entire instance group, aggro management is a dream, because everyone is in sync with what other people are doing loving it..

I have to say I find it rather impressive when people box with more then 2 classes, especially seeing as you are doing it with different specs also!
I'm rather intrigued how you handle them all do you set ur priest to spam heal a low rank all the time? or how do you control all of them? do you have an extra arm?

I've only just started a team myself (the standard 1pally 5shaman team). I guess I'll get used to handling them better soon

Ðeceased out

happy gaming

I have two main dps keys, one does fireball, shadowbolt, smite (currently because s priest doesn't have mindflay) the other dps does fireball, warlocks dots sequenced and spriest does swp, mindblast.

So it's an elite i spam the dot macro until all warlocks dots on then i spam the standard dps macro.

I have 5 keys for healing, one macro for each character with shield, alt heal, shift renew.

I have a key which sparks fade on both priests and sparks off righteous defence on paladin - this is great for getting aggro back on the paladin- I made a macro for the righteous defence so i target the enemies target, as oppose to manually selecting the ally under attack.

All my heals have the dps macro on the alts in the same position - so if i'm left spam healing then it will continue to dps the targets.

it's great having diff classes, soulstone, int buff, stam buff, pet buff, blessings, aura, portal, drink, food etc..

So far, there are 3 fun steps in the paladin/4x shaman group.
1. Paladin lvl 20 - consecrate. Combined with Improved Righteous Fury talent, holding aggro on the paladin is cake.
2. Shaman lvl 26 - magma totem. Round up a group of mobs with the paladin, pop a consecrate+righteous fury to build massive aggro quick, then throw down 4x magma totem. You'll be doing 100dps/burst from the totems and the mobs stick to the paladin. I leveled exclusively from 26-32 using these AoE tactics.
3. Shaman lvl 32 - chain lightning. Same tactics as step 2, except you can handle even more mobs. Round up very large number, consecrate, throw down a 4x lesser healing wave on the paladin to top him off, 4x magma totem, 4x chain lightning at will. Most likely, you'll have 12+ equal level mobs dead within the 2nd cast of chain lightning.

As long as you're spec'd AoE-Prot on the paladin and have the best shield & shield spike possible, it's pretty easy.

It's even more fun when a enemy PvP'er 5-10 levels higher than you think they've got a shot, until you 4x chain lightning + 4x frost shock + 4x searing totem them.
