2nd boss in Blood Furnance

[Schwarz]

So I have a 5 shaman team and we are all level 63. I tried to complete Blood Furnance and can't get past the 2nd boss. I find myself lossing 2 guys after the 3rd gate opens. I tried backing everyone up to a wall too minamize the effects of the knock back. Is there any tricks to getting through the gate event? It was pretty frustrating last night I thought I was going to cruse through the whole instance.

I sent myself some spell damage food and have some spell damage exilirs from a quest. Should boost my damage by ~50 spell damage.

Any hints/tips will be appreciated

This one was tough for my 5x shamans as well. Here are the keys to the fight as I see it:

- Keep your backs to the wall like you did
- Keep Water Shield up as much as possible (its a long fight)
- Make sure you have a key for Mana Pots (its a long fight)
- Make sure you have a separate key for Stoneclaw Totems, and keep those babies up as much as possible.
- If you have stoneclaws that are out and active, try not to use AOE because the AOE damage will make it so they don't aggro the mobs.
- If you dont have stoneclaws active (cooldown), Chain Lightning and Fire Nova totem like theres no tomorrow.

Took me 6-7 tries to figure this stuf out.

Also, check out the 5x Shamans PVE wiki page... I listed a healing/dps macro scheme that I use that works pretty well (if someone needs healing, you hit a button and 2 shammies heal him while the other 3 DPS the target)
