Need some help with my 5 x Shamans.

[Crucial]

Hi,

My shamans are level 67.5 right now, and after doing a bit of research on these forums, it seems that Mana Tombs would be a good place to grind up the XP because for the most part you can DPS + grounding totem your way thru. But I'm having some issues with trash pulls and I'm wondering if I'm putting down the right totems and using a good spell sequence, etc. because even tho I managed to finish the instance yesterday (escort quest and all) it took a long time due to wipe after wipe.

Some of the wipes, were my fault for being a noob, for example I didn't remember that nexus terror fear bombed =)

My setup:

5 shaman, elemental spec, quested gear. 1 shaman (main) has a shield the rest have staves.

Before the fight I put down:

- 5 Wrath totems

- 1 Mana spring + 4 Healing streams

then depending on the fight, I put down wrath of air, or groundings or stoneskin or a combination of

I pull with lightning bolt then hit them with chain as they run in, the problem is that once they get to me I can't seem to kill them fast enough and lose a shaman or two, I tried dropping 5 novas and that seemed to help but now I don't get the crits from the wrath totem ...

Any advise? Did I provide enough info?

Thanks.

You shouldn't be having any problems with that place with 5x67 elemental spec'de shamans. I reguarly do the 1st two heroic bosses in SV and Ramparts with only 4 shamans. I'd recommend all your guys have shields and whats your spell dmg at? Nice starting combo is throwing down 5 magmas (or nova if you can time it right) before the pull then trinket+lightning bolt followed immediately by NS+CL+EM right at the start - that cleans out at least one and dmgs the other two pretty badly if your dmg is high enough. Also the order of your kills can be important first. I generally ignore casters with Grounding totems down and take out whatever will do the most dmg first (melee). The exception might be casters that do AOE.
