Win. That will get you to level 50 by itself.

I'm not sure at 23 why your dps are taking damage at all?
Thanks for the macro, I'll be trying that in a few more levels.

As for why the DPS take damage...

Some boss fights have summoned adds and turns out Avenger's Shield isn't enough aoe aggro.

SFK in particular, Baron Silverlaine was quite tough due to the summoned adds and any fight with adds, is a pain. Even just bunches of enemies can suck, although this is relative to size of group and proximity. If AS can hit them on entry (and I can sheep one) it can be ok. Usually, trash/single target is ok.

When I get Hammer of the Righteous the issue should go away, I hope! (it should get much better at 29 all around, I think. How on the Paladin and Atonement on the Priest.)

Yeah, this is pretty universal across games I think. Lesson learned here, but I'm stubburn and will stick with this team awhile longer.

One might say I can now see the value of 1 Paladin and 4 Shamans. K.I.S.S.
