[WoW] To Rule the Skies (Ogri'la quest)

[konraddo]

It's the quest about killing the dragons. Can someone give me an insight into how a multiboxer is supposed to handle infinite-distance AOE fear? I tried different positioning layouts but they dont work. The problem is not the fear itself, rather my toons face OUTWARD after each fear which means I cannot continue DPS. I tried putting a button so that the toons can turn themselves 180. However, some toons originally face the boss and the 180 turn will make it wrong instead.

On the other hand, I tried using tremor totem on my shaman healer but it's difficult to ask the toons to follow after reach fear then stop them and then I turn 90 so the dragon tail wont hit them. The fear is too frequent that this method simply reduces the DPS duration to minimum and the dragon just wont die.

Quite frustrated at this particular type of mechanics >_<

Help is seriously needed.

Do you have a follow the leader button? This is usually what I use when a fearing person is trying to gank me. I'll lay down my tremors, they'll aoe fear, tremor cleanses. So at this point hit your follow button, then press some stopfollow button (either universal movement control, or anything really). At this point everything will be facing your usually follow target, and if that's your tank character, you're ready to continue dps.

With that sort of thing, I find myself having to manually reface everyone not facing the thing they're supposed to. There's a good deal of luck involved too. The Tremor Totem is invaluable, but the 5(?) second pulse can go off just before the fear, and then everyone ends up out of range for the next pulse. This does get fixed next patch so that it cleanses fear every 3 seconds, so if you can wait til then, it should become much easier.

Didnt know the new 3-second thing... anyways, I only have 1 shaman, the rest are pally tank and 3 locks. @_@

That damn stupid dragno pwn me everytime I tried lol. Gotta re-think a better strategy after the patch though...

I did this with Pally/Mage/Mage/Priest/Priest with no problems and like an idiot I didn't use fear ward at all (not that it would have mattered a lot in the long run, got feared way more than 2x per 3 minutes).

I have a follow hotkey, I'd run around and gather my alts up, spread them out and position the dragon at max range while they dps and heal... the dragon doesn't hit hard, and agro sticks to tank... so when the fear bomb hits, do another lap, gather the minions, spread them out, and start dps again. The fight took me about 6 minutes.

The best way I found was a combo of follow macro + manual movement of clones. Tremor totems set up, 2(? I think, maybe 1) earth elementals, after fear hit follow and continue to nuke. Scan other windows for failing clones and manually move them (mouse turn + clicking both mouse buttons to move the single clone) while continuing to nuke on others.
