Best 4 person all caster/priest group

[Troxx]

I am not convinced a group of 4 casters can kill Vaniki - period. I’ve healed a pretty beefy raid tank warrior under discipline. We had 2 clerics, a torpor shaman, it was preslowed and we had several raid level melee dps. Vaniki damage spikes are insane enough that the most reliable way of not having the warrior die was to start the cheal after the first round the warrior took damage.

A single cleric very realistically would run out of mana before 2 charm pets would get him dead. Both pets would end up slowed to Willsapper as the one that started tanking would quickly lose aggro to the one not actively tanking. Heaven forbid you toss a charm break into the mix … and beyond that how do precisely to plan to even pull him, rip him from the train, and how - with this type of crew - would you manage to kite him until a slow lands. He is a caster and can and will root, prematurely aggro pets …

The more I consider Vaniki - the more I consider him beyond the capabilities of any 4 casters. If a viable strat does exist it likely would involve each enchanter having 3-4 mezzed back-up pets lined up to throw at him when their pet inevitably dies.

For Vaniki, I’ll believe it when I see it.

Funny how the shaman needs a pocket cleric to make the group viable yet the cleric doesn’t need a pocket shaman.

Still foot stomping this. Our resident retard has no rebuttal to this.
