5x sham can do the 2nd bitch in mech w/ 5 fire ele's and hero popped. 5x Fire ele + hero = easymode for botanica as well for the demon boss. I'll keep track of what I do w/ my 5 shaman and post strategies as I go... I'll start a post when I get home from work in about 4hrs lol^^. To answer the why would 5x sham do better than tank healer... You have 3 dpsers I have 5.. I also have 5 elementals that can tank for me, and 5 people who can heal.

I'm with Fur on the 2nd Bot boss strat, time to cowboy up and get your DPS on. With your setup I'd chain seed the main (think Illhoof) and just keep blasting him, maybe have the mage go AE on him. Mech (fire bi*&^) aside, wasn't bad either. I think I did wipe on the gauntlet but it's so easy to cheat it (do the run out/reset thing) that's it's not a big deal. I was worried about no fear for his adds on my 4x shaman but again just make it quick, no reach around.

Trick for the 2nd boss in botanica (which makes it possible for only the having tank to move) tank the boss on the highest point of the bridge, and set your dpsers just in range to nuke the boss. When he goes heal crapping you can just move your tank back and let your dps take care of his adds since they are not in his aoe heal spot you can just leave them there the entire fight. Been using this in pugs since i turned 70, still amazed ppl still LoS those adds, they dont hit that hard and die very very fast.

I'm actually quite surprised that people use strats for this guy. Since kill #1, we just got close, and tank'n'spanked him. No tricks. No gimicks. DPS him --> dps adds --> kill him. Tank never stops DPSing and just helps kills the adds when they come.

If you're tank is getting messed up, maybe you need more healing? Or if the adds are leaving the tank (Pally) you need more spell damage to hold aggro with consecration.

Ok, simple question: How do you deal with the little flowers?
If your answer involves anything shaman specific like chain lightning then welcome to shaman ezmode. Not all of us run 1xpally 4xshaman.

The problem is not the tank, the problem is targeting. We need strategies to deal with targeting.

When the boss goes into healing mode, IGNORE HIM. He doesn't do anything but heal... so tank the adds and dps them down.

Since I've moved to a druid tank, I don't use chain lightning anymore. Just did (H) Botanica with Druid Tank, Resto Shaman, 2x Elemental Shaman and a Warlock.

How do I deal with the little flowers? Click on one (target), and DPS it down. Click on #2, DPS it down. etc. This is lightning bolt dps, which is functionally the same to any other ranged DPS. No totems, no aoe, no elementals. Just straight DPS and tank healing. When the flowers die, the boss is back up to like 30% health or something, so we just finish him off at that point.

I am not talking about the 3 adds that spawn in healing mode. I am talking about normal mode, he spawns little flowers every now and then each with different abilities. Some of them do AoE and some freeze people, you can't just ignore them.

And your DPS is way through the roof. I am lucky if I get him to 60-70% before he starts healing the 1st time. So I find it a bit arrogant if you tell people to just dps him down and that you find it strange when people use strategies for the fight. New 70s simply don't have anything close to that kind of dps.

Your pally consecration should keep the little flowers up at him, between Seed of Corruption, reign of fire, bilzzard/arcane explsion, and holy nova (be good to spec that if you haven't) they really shouldn't be an issue. If something about the dynamic truly requires you to pull around corner, then do it. It's no different, actually easier I think, than the last boss in Sethekk halls.

I am hoping that I could do WC with a paladin/priest/mage. I've already attempted WC with a paladin/2xmages and it was difficult. But it sounds like paladin/priest/2xmages would be more realistic for WC and above. I'm ready to add an extra mage if WC is not a lot easier with a paladin/priest/mage.

Any advice?
