Easy 500g + vendor everything + money from quest turnin if you've never done the head quest + BoP 20 slot bag

Strat:

place slaves just inside door, in front of first add. tank aggros add and waits for the rest of the adds to come to him and get some threat. back up slaves so their back is against the door. The adds can be really annoying because they'll cast dark mending (heal) on themselves and each other, so to fight this I had wind shear on round robin so I'd only use 1 at a time and I also used heroism and fire elementals. When Magtheridon became active I still had 2 adds + 3-4 abysmals up .From there it was a tank and spank. Just keep him faced away from the group because he'll cleave.

3 epic gems and 2 rares from the gem bag, (all BC gems) so not bad for vendoring.

thanks for shareing

it is a long fight and your shammies went OOM often.

[Yesh]

Poor Svpergaude... :(

[Mercurio]

Neat Svper. Thanks for sharing the video.

I stepped into Mags lair last night, encouraged by your victory. I did not expect to one shot him, but did not fully appreciate the fight. My hat is off to you.

I shall return, Magtheridon.

Where did you run into trouble? I'd be glad to help with strats if you need.

btw, it's a breeze in the dk/pally team. I did it in pvp gear without a healer and tanked with the dk in frost aura, not even a true tank spec nor tank gear. Just keep the cleaves only on your "tank" person and your good to go.

[sladet99]

My setup is Unholy DK, two Elemental shaman, Arcane mage, Holy priest. I did not intend on spending but a couple of wipes in there last night, just to get a feel for the place for a more thought out approach later.

Thank you for the offer to help with the strat. :)

[Tdog]

nicely done. wish i wasnt playing across the pond, makes me twice as difficult to achieve things like this.

[lightstriker]

what gear level are you?

nvm, found you in the armory

[Ladolcevita]

Inspired from your video i take a look last night into Maghteridon's Lair..

After the trash, at the first try i had a bad position for my tank and got a wipe
the second try was perfect and got the achievement too :P

i switched the Arcane Mage to Frost Mage for the replenishment
at 30% popped hero and everything was smooth as butter..

Here the video but - i have to say - is really close to the supernova's ones...
The trick - imho - is to kill asap the channeler for avoid too much elemental pop out.

Ronin Team
Palatank
2 Elemental Shaman
Arcane (or Frost :P) Mage
Disc Priest

i got 2 questions

1. How many warders are there before the boss?
2. How do you keep your group together on those? Mine get feared all over the place

That I would love to see a video with

There are 4 trash packs of 3 mobs each. 1 is at the bottom of the incline. One is to the right from the first pack, the otther to the left of the first. There is also a roaming pack that can roam from side to side. The first pack you see me kill in the video is the first pack at the bottom of the incline. As I have done in the video, tank the mobs ~15-20 yards away from your team and fear shouldn't be an issue. If you do get feared, regroup them and then park them and drag the mobs away. Rinse + repeat.

[Ladolcevita]

Shaman with tremor totem help a lot :D

[Zub]

Well, just boxed Mag for the first time with my team, with the help of a geared bear friend.
His GS is about 5800 and my team is about 3500-4000GS with an odd one at 5000

wiped a couple times as i tried tanking/dpsing and healing and him dpsing as well.
problem was the casters kept healing and in the end we could kill them fast enouh.
on third try we got my friend to tank all caster (and then mags) while i peeled them off of him, one by one and dps'd them down individually. that worked.

i'll need to rewrite a couple healing macro as i keep spamming heals on the wrong tank, but apart from taht it was a fun fight and it got me 83gx5 plus all the loot (minus the head i gave to the extra) and we all got the achieve :-)
felt good :-)

[DLoweinc]

just wanted to reply with a thank you. I make about 550g from this every week in about 10 minutes. :)

No, pull the first add with hero and fire eles all at once and NUKE the hell out of it before the other casters get there, they will be less likely to cast a heal. As your shammies will only be dps, the other adds will easy get onto your tank from consecrate/whatever aoe threat you have. One 1 add is down it's a lot easier to kill the other 4.

The mob heals are killing me. Not literally but they make the fight impossible. How did you interrupt them so well? I can't DPS through them. Any advice? (DK,4 Shaman)

If you don't have high enough dps the trick is to separate one healer from the pack and kill it away from the others. It might self heal but you should be able to interupt that and if you dont just burst through it.
Then pick another one and kill it apart again.

This means that
1/ you need to offtank that mob with one of your toons while the main tank tanks all the rest basically (but they don't hit hard)
2/you have to be able to control your tank in one spot, and your dps in another, focusing on different targets (tank on all minus one, dps on that one)

I can't manage it alone.
so i grab a bear friend of mine and he tanks all, and i just peel them off him one by one while throwing his way a couple renews and shields.

With my 6k GS pally and 5k GS shamans, I burn then down one by one while bloodlusted and with 4 fire elementals. Then with some well-placed avenger's shied, arcane torrent and a Hammer of Justice, I keep interrupting the heals on my nuke-target, ignoring any other heals being cast. Works like a charm and my shamans don't even do that great damage (4k+ each).

Mind Freeze.

[Bollwerk]

Had no trouble with this fight, thanks to the OP video. Round robin interrupts to prevent heals and it was cake. Hero + fire elementals at the start. Ran OOM a lot, but with a dedicated healer it was cake. Probably didn't need the dedicated healer, but I wanted to be safe.

[Feider]

Yeah Svper. I'm interrupting the one with the DK but the others are getting me. I just need to burn faster.

[Velassra]

I keep having trouble with this, I'm eating cleaves I think. Was able to finally do it, w/ 2 of my 3 locks down. Had to contract out for a geared Tree to get some xtra heals....loltree won most of the loot too. Oh well, I'll try it again, w/ more attention to facing the mob.

[Toned]

YourTank <-- MAG


...................Your Casters

[Svpernova09]

Yeah Svper. I'm interrupting the one with the DK but the others are getting me. I just need to burn faster.

Yeah, a lot of this is RNG. Just takes some determination and practice. My mostly 232/T9 geared team had no issues getting all of the adds down before Mag became active after some practice.

[Eloxy]

did this with 4 pvp geared shammies. was even easier that with a tank tbh. new patch is awesomesauce
