Our DPS Meter - I brought a 2500GS warlock this week because I was bored. Normally have my main shaman who pulls over 10-12k dps.

Hurry you got a month before Cata, I want to see LK dead!

[zenga]

What strategy did you use to deal with the ooze?

[Mercurio]

Nice work!

[Toned]

This was only our 2nd time running ICC together we started last week for the shits and giggles lol.

@Zenga -
Reprisal Tanked (Paladin)
We piled all the shamans underneath the boss.
Reprisal's Resto Shaman just mashed chain heal on his tank.
I made one of mine resto and he just spammed chain heal on himself to keep people around him up.
Then we just dps'd our asses off once 2 oozes finally came out I grabbed and kited the big Ooze away from the raid (riptiding my paladin as needed but otherwise continued spamming the chain heals).

When the 2nd set of oozes came out and merged together i taunted that big ooze away and merged it with my other one. When I was kiting those 2 big oozes I happened to run by the group as a single ooze spawned so it merged and caused the explosion. (Rotface was <10% life), so we barely missed the achievement. Hopefully next week I can post a video and show the achievement.

We also got princes to like 40% on our first attempt and reprisal's shamans barely did any dps due to positioning. Hopefully next week I can show some Prince / Bloodqueen kills.

We only tried one attempt to see if it was possible before we logged for the night, I'm pretty confident that a few more tries and they would have died.

What sort of DPS are you doing?

Awesome 'brute forcing' tacts. Well done.

About council: i wonder how you gonna build up the shadow debuff to tank keleseth. After giving it some thought this might wordk: you could do it with 1 tank / 9 shaman. A shaman with a macro to target the dark nucleus could tank keleseth. The MT tanksval & tal, facing him away from raid with his back against the wall up on the platform. 1or 2 shaman keep the kenetic bomb up in the air. Tank will take lots of dmg, so not sure if chain heal will do for him. 1 raid healer should be enough. I.e. tmho this is a macro heavy encounter that can easily brute forced.

Bloodqueen might be challenging to brute force without a disc priest. Should be doable to ignore swarming shadows. Pact of the darkfallen and the bite will take some practice to sort that out, but I can imagine a couple of ways to sort that out. You can control the bite order in advance and macro that. Though the fear will be a pain to get your positioning done.

Putricide: i'm afraid that this is going to be too complex. Though in theory the MT hardly needs to move. 1 player doing both the MT & abomination (doesn't have to be a tank, but obviously you need a 2nd tank to taunt in phase 3) + 3 healers and other player 5x dps could work. Complex but not undoable. Hope you guys manage to do it.

Sindragosa: haha thats going to be nuts to figure out a way that works, def. in the last phase

What sort of DPS are you doing?

I normally run 4 ele, but this fight I swapped 1 to resto but the 3 eles were doing 10k dps over all each... prob closer to 15k with lust and ele's for that 30sec period :)

The advantage that I have is I have 4 boxed all of these bosses before with 6 other people in the raid, and all of my characters are over 6k gs in their mostly 25man raid gear :)

The princes we're going to run 2 pallies (1 tanks 2 adds and other on Kel (rep)). Then run 2 resto shams again ... prob same setup for blood queen. My shamans will be the ones getting bit they do more dps so I'm hoping to down her with only having to deal with 1 air phase.

Putricide the plan is... Rep tanks putricide in the middle of the room... we put all the shamans on the outer ring close to the doorway. I will be in the abom and we will blast the shit out of him + the oozes he spawns... The key to this fight will be phase 2 we will have to strafe out of mallable goo. If we can get this down i think we will have him.

Got princes to low 40% and Putricide we almost hit phase 3 ... maybe next week !

Updated as promised in the main thread... Got both fester/rot hardmode achieves.
