Forge of Souls(PTR heroic)

[Niley]

Edit, before anything else, i dont think this inatnce deserves its own topic, i cleared it in 8m33s.



Ill do a little write up soon, but so far first boss down,not too hard, just has a gimmick at 40%ish.
edit 1. 2nd boss down, mini RoS, really fun, i think its my fav boss in any heroic so far.

Bronjahm(Boss no 1):
Up to 405 he's pretty straight forward with some small aoe damage going around, easy healable. Once he reaches 40% he summons big whirl around him, and only open area is around him
You can see the whirl and my positioning here:

He also fears, so make sure to dispel/tremor, as you will get feared into whirl and die....he feared my tank.
Thats the whole fight.

DoS(2nd boss)"
He does few different abilities.
Jumps on top of random member, leaves purple void zone behind
Does a mirror image, seems like the damage that boss takes is taken by the member that is being targeted. Stop dps here.
Summons ghosts, that do very minor damage, i just ignored them, chained healed x3 once.
I really liked this boss, he was fun, had to strafe, stop dps, heal etc, really nicely designed.

Thanks for the writeup - so with the 1st boss I gather you collapse everyone around the tank at 40% and keep dps'ing as per normal?

Cheers,

I actually just leave them on follow, so they're right on the boss and chain heal hits the tank as well as other team members, but collapsing would work also.
edit: You can't pre position for this guy, so i think its a lot easier to just all run in to melee range, you can pre position for final boss thought.

do the bosses not drop loot on the PTR?

I want info on all the phat lewts I can get on my teams =)

[offive]

I dont think I have heard of any drops from any new instance (5man or raid) of yet. MMO Champion and Wowhead would have posted them if they were found. Craftables are known, but not drops.

[gitcho]

any idea what the ilvl will be on teh 5man drops?

[Multibocks]

Im guessing 226 or 232, badly itemized of course, lol.

[Volch0k]

I can't put words on how glad I am you posting PTR stuff like this for boxing....

The only thing I'm worries about, is that stuff you say is 'easy' or make seem easy can be pretty though for everyone else ;)

played this instance today during maintenance. gone in heroic mode directly.
playing on Brill server: latency constantly yellow, 350-550 ms :/
with my 5 paladins.
some trash is dangerous with 5 melee group, mixed casters and melee, it s possible do it without cc, but requires some serious heal on dps:).
boss 1 is really easy, one shot. almost no needed any tactics just stayed in middle and killed him. he casts random fear on 1 target.
boss 2 is different story. main issue for me it s been understand mechanics.
6 wipes. most important thing looks to stay away from well of souls aoe. he do impressive spell damage on tank too, but with normal latency is surely easier.

Confirmed to be 219 for nonheroic and 232 for heroic.

[Malekyth]

Oh gawd. I was just spanked badly by Bronjahm, only partly because he had me laughing my ass off the whole time. :)

I was getting a bit frustrated with his blue swirly AOE, which hits the entire platform and two-shots my warlocks. I checked wowwiki and found out that part of the damage is based on the victim's mana ... so am I supposed to go into this fight basically dry? He hits like a truck besides, and I can't kill his healy orb before it reaches him and tops him off, so WTF?

So I checked this thread. "He does a little AOE that's easily healable" ... are you KIDDING? Dude, are we playing the same game? That is FAR from "easily healable!" What are you smoking, man? What are ... are ...

Um. Oh. I had it set to heroic. :)

I'm done for the night, but will try it on regular tomorrow, and expect that I will find the AOE easily healable.

Shit how do you guys avoid getting instantly killed by the last AoE the Devourer of Souls unleashes? It kills my guys real fast (they were all dead in 1.5secs).

Same here. Although my team is filled with almost all pvp gear......he one shots one of my guys the sec he does his little jump thing.

[Multibocks]

Jump thing isnt too hard to avoid. As soon as you see his red beam come out, start running and then when he jumps, keep running until you are sure everyone is at least 5 yards from him. Then turn around and beat the crap outta him. I beat this after 8 wipes, but it was pure luck. I would always get him to 10% or so and then he will do his 3rd phase of a frontal AoE that hits you about every .4 secs. It's basically instant death if you dont strafe COUNTER clockwise to him. They will get hit once, but should live through it. Good thing is once you are out of AoE you dont have to heal or anything, just full on dps.

Watched your vids niley, thanks a lot :)

its not the aoe, its the debuff.
Once he starts siphoning you need to stop dps, because damage done to him=damage done to the toon that he is siphoning(or how i should call it)
