Gundrak

[Meathead]

Gundrak is a fun and easy instance im lvl 75 and its for 76-78 ive done the first 2 bosses but havent finished it yet still going thru just wanted to say that is a nice instance :P

Update: Drakkari Colossus is hard for MB when he turns in to a water ele it just nukes my guys down will keep trying.

[bodefeld]

Funny, same here right now! I'm waiting for my earth elementals' CDs before I'll give the Colossus another shot. I was so close last time :-), lvl 75 now.
The "first" two bosses (Moorabi and Slad'ran) were a mere spank & spank more.

Got any strat's on him for us?

[bodefeld]

Don't know the specifics to your setup, here's how I try:

- EM, lightning shield

- 5x healing stream
- 1 wrath of air, three grounding totems, nature resistance totem (thanks to Ellay, see this thread ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=16761'))
- 1 totem of wrath, four searing totems
(sort of my standard layout)
- stoneskin, earthbind, strength of air, 2 earth elementals (this usually initiates the fight)

- bloodlust, trinket
- flameshock, lava, lb, lb etc.

I need to cross-heal after some 3 dmg casts; when one earth elemental is down I cast the next and so on.

When he becomes immune TAB over to his elemental spawn, that guy hurts. I may have to spread out to avoid some AoE damage.

He's level 78 and it's a tough fight for level 75 shamans, but I suppose he is well doable still. Had the "last" elemental phase down to 14%...
I'll keep trying and experimenting, for those nice q-reward boots alone^^.

Yea im running Pally and 4Shammys guess its more of a burst

Update: Thanks to Ellay's advice the colossus is cake now.
-> nature resistance totem ftw

I luv Gundrak for the xps - been running it since 75 at ~ 325k/hr (no bosses/looting). Not exciting but relatively quick compared to other instances.

[bodefeld]

Woohoo!
I'm so happy, just cleared Gundrak non-heroic with five level 77 elemental shamans.
In this run I killed all bosses on the first attempt.
The last boss is tough but he can be nuked -- at last.
Woohoo!

Nice, I tried the last boss in there while i was leveling 75-77 and he just seemed to brutal. What did you do here, anything special?

Also I liked how his rhino rider guards were actually harder then the other bosses in the zone, lol

I position my chars in the middle of the round platform to set up the totems -- this way they are all in their range and still profit from 5x healing stream when moved back and spread out against the wall/fence. So my main walks up to get in range to pull the boss with a shock spell. Then I set the earth elementals and start nuking like hell. One character died from the rhino attacks, but I ankhed him and just kept nuking. I was surprised how easy it was compared to the countless unsuccessfuly tries I had at level 76.

As for the rhino rider guards, you can pull one at a time. Make sure you're standing with your backs to a wall. Then what I did was simply thunderstroming them on round robin while continuing with my dps-rotation. I use chain lightning whenever possible to harm the rider too. Quite easy and safe when done that way imho.

Hope this helps.

Gundrak - Normal

1 Pala - 4 shamans

I used Gundrak for leveling form 77 to 80. Nice xp. about 80k xp pr clear unrested. Using about 30 mins pr run.

I always use nature res totem in this instance, so im loosing out one Grounding totem. I drop these totems:
Wrath + 4 searing
nature res, haste totem, 2 grounding
stoneskin, strenght, 2 x tremor
4 x healing on bosses (except snake boss), 4 x mana on trash

Snake boss: Easy. I gather all shamans near the corner, 3 x healing steam and one poison cleansing totem + regular totems. Pull boss down. and tank boss very close to shamans. Keep concecration up to pick up adds. Push bloodlust and nuke. Finish boss off with 4 x elemntal mastery + thunderstorm = adds + boss dead

Elemental Mojo boss:
Set up shamans in a square formations in the circle where you have cleared the trash, shamans view is in to the midddle. Set up 4 healing totems etc. Pull boss back and tank him in the middle of the square. When he summons mojo, i pull mojo into the middle.

Mammoth boss : I line my shamans to the back wall, set out totems. pull boss and kill. easy.

Last boss:
Line shamans in the corner, see picture. Pull boss to the tank. Use regular totems. Pop fire elementals (not always needed) _AFTER_ he turns into a rhino, or else he will just whirlwind bye bye ur elementals. Pop bloodlust. easy.

BTW, does anyone know if any of theese tactics works on heroic?

[Multibocks]

nice, last boss on gundrak bugged on me and I wiped first time to being late on a heal, second time on him he showed no animation at all. He looked troll the whole time and then started charging my guys (insta-death). SWEET.

I have cleared to the final boss on heroic without a ton of issues, but the final boss flat out does too much damage for a boss who's doing a healing debuff and has the chance to impale stun the healer and knock everyone all over the place. I just can't do it on heroic. Even if I control the knockbacks by wedging my guys inside a weapon rack, the tank can't handle it. Funny, my tank can handle every other heroic boss I tried so far.This boss's damage output is designed for a tank who is in full epics, not item level 180 blues. Anyone who has had success on him on heroic, please tell me how you're geared!

Here's my tankadin Pestilencê ('http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Dentarg&n=Pestilenc%C3%AA')

It took a few tries, but chain heal really helps with his impale and group damage. I tend to overheal my tank when he is in rhino mode. When he switches back to warrior mode I lay into him. This never goes past 2 transitions.

I made it to him tonight as well but he hits for like 9k sometimes and its like WTF. My Resto ended up going out of mana and I got him to about 50% best attempt (which was my first also)

When i firsted downed him i was in all blues and just a titansteel shield, its just a matter of making sure you meet the other basic stats, ie: uncritable, and at least 20K hp, as thats where i started, also depending on your strat and positioning, and how much dps your slaves do it can make that fight seem impossible, less dmg your other guys do the more dmg he will do to you.

For position, like i stated on one of Gare's posts: Sigh...Heroics are owning me... ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=17642&action=firstNew')
may help or not help depending on how you take it.

hope to hear hes dead

hope to hear hes deadWell he's dead. I made a blog post about it: http://www.wemultibox.com/blogs/thebigbb/heroic-gundrak-down

Basically, I just needed a tiny bit more firepower and tank stats and my strategy worked. I had 28k HP and still almost had a tank death. Crazy. Gares, I would probably also have my healer go out of mana a lot, but I have the innervate hotkeyed for her, and she's set up to throw out a shadowfiend, so essentially I have been chain casting greater heals and some group heals the entire fight without a mana issue.
