Mechanar Boss: Nethermancer Sepethrea Help!

[Longshot17]

First boss I've had problems with on my progression up through the BC instances. Any tips, tricks... not much I can find googling

Managed to figure out Shirrak the Dead Watcher which I think is one of the more troublesome ones for Multiboxers, and Talon King Ikiss, which was quite fun (fun challenge).

But Nethermancer Sepethrea, is looking really hard (short of over gearing and coming back at like lvl 72-73).

I got (all 70s) Prot Pally, 3 Orc Elemental Shamans, 1 Blood Elf Hunter. They've really cruised so far, but this boss has stopped them cold in their tracks. The Calculator boss and the two previous were done in first try.

Bloodlust + 3 Shaman Fire Elementals + a little luck with the Boss's elemental pets aggro (going for tank and hunter pet first) = win.

Video please, would love to see this!

I've been thinking about doing a movie for awhile, but I'm bit of a noob, what's the best software (free) out there to use to record?

I'm hoping I can set it up to capture one of my other windows (hunter) as the battles always show better from that angle.

Man, Ikiss is kicking my butt at 67th right now. He keeps killing off my healer & dps, leaving me with no means to gun him down. I don't seem to be able to interrupt his arcane explosion, but I'll give it another shot (Purge + Wind Shear) and see what I get. Otherwise I may be coming back at a higher level. I've done fine on the rest of the instance though, so don't really feel like I'm outgunned overall.

I gave up on Shirrak though, so maybe I just have a weakness for dealing with aoe/ movement. Every other BC instance has been no real problem though at normal level.

What I did with Ikiss was hiding behind one of the pillars when he did his AoE thing. He announces it pretty early (and it helps using Deadly Boss Mods) and you can make it behind just in time.

Ya, it's a good 5 seconds. Have all your guys standing on top of your tank... once you see the announcment, drag them around the pillar, then run back and fetch him with your tank. Sort of just circle around one pillar... I think it's just two you gotta withstand.

This was one encounter where the three spread healing shamans made it easier then one dedicated healer imo.

Fun encounter though, this and the beholder dude in Auchindoun (sp?) crypts.

The crazy endurance encounter in HoS is another fun one... can be frustrating though cuz the NPC dude is a softy
