I just ran tombs with my group (same composition as yours) at 65 a couple days ago. It was extremely rough. Reminded me of the first time I walked into Ramparts with level 40 gear. The first two bosses weren't too bad, but some of the trash and the last boss were sickening. Actually, I didn't ever have any particular problems on trash groups, it's just that those scavengers had a habit of killing my priest rather often. Sometimes I could recover, sometimes I couldn't, but I never wiped twice to a single trash pull.

For the first boss, I had both shadow aura and shadow protection up. (What's this? It doesn't stack? Well, I guess I won't do that again. :P ) I think I had reckoning up when he shelled once, and my tank bit it hard before I turned off attack. I was pretty good about not attacking after that, though.

I one-shot the second boss. No big deal. Keep the heals up, maybe even a prayer of healing or two, and he'll go down.

The third boss took many, many attempts. I had to actually go repair and come back and keep trying, but I finally got him down. :thumbsup: I used the "focus fire the beacons at the beginning" strategy that you laughed so hard about in your write-up. I'm not sure why it worked so much better for me. Maybe my tank has more health? I'm running close to 9000. Sadly, it's not "over 9000" yet. :thumbdown: Anyway, my problems during this fight didn't normally happen at the beginning. Most of the time, my healer would run out of mana at around 30 or 40%, then my tank would die, and the rest of the group quickly followed. This guy hits reeeeeeeally hard, and having all dps cease to kill the adds drug the fight out longer than it should have. Even when I got him down, I was tankless for the last 10 or 15%.

If you've read my other threads, you know how well Blizzard insists my hunter must be geared, for almost every boss I meet drops exclusively melee/hunter gear. Anyway, I was browsing through AtlasLoot before I stepped inside Mana Tombs and noticed a nice bow that drops from the Nexus-Prince. I took a long, hard look at it, compared it to my current crossbow (from slave pens, I think?), and said to myself, "Wow, I really do not want that bow. My hunter is fine. She does not need a new weapon. The bow is the last thing I want to get from this boss." Wouldn't you know it, I got the bow. :cursing:

On the bright side, my hunter tops the damage charts. :|
