Need advice, normal Blood Furnace, stuck at Boss 2

[moog]

This is with my 5 x L62 Shamans.

I've searched the forums and checked the wiki (http://www.dual-boxing.com/wiki/index.php/Hellfire_Citadel:_The_Blood_Furnace) but it doesn't advise on tactics for a 5xShammy team.

Am stuck on Broggok, well, not him, his 4 rooms of minions.
With their knockbacks, I just can't take them down quickly enough and always wipe on room 3 of 4.

Am I missing something?

To be honest I skipped BF and went back at 66 (roughly) because of those mobs during that boss event. I just couldn't get past those mobs, even when I brough along a level 70 Shaman to help out.

But, I never attempted to Earthbind kite them. Maybe try that. Stagger your Earthbind totems and drop Nova & Magma totems.

Oh well, wiped 5 times and then fetched my 70 Tankadin to deal with that room so I could get past and complete the quest.

My first "mixed" team... boy, was that a shock to the system! :)

Earthbind totems, frost shocks.

Basically, if u can survive till the last wave of mobs, kite the last mob around until your all mana'd and healthed up.

Kill the mob then nuke the boss.

The most simple way I have found to do this fight (Started at 61) is to DPS the first group down without any trouble.. The second wave drop 2-3 stoneclaw totems and DPS the hard hitting mobs first. Third wave another 2-3 Stoneclaw totems and DPS.. save the last mob and chain heal all your health back while waiting on all the totem cooldowns.. 4th group drop all your stoneclaws.. Single target DPS em all down..

Boss then.. drop 5 stoneclaws.. then go set up your totems in the middle to end of the room.. turn around.. blast away..

He drops before he even gets to me half the time... EZ mode..

Eh? I thought you could only do that on the very last room? Don't the rooms open on a timer if you take too long to kill the earlier packs?

If not... well... d'oh! Wish I'd know that before!!

I've been noodling with Blood Furnace all week. I just wanted to pass on a thought:
4X Gift of Naaru makes one Regen tank.

Haven't done the 2nd boss till 64. Major pain in the ass, and i just gave it some try's, improving the tactic.

Go next to the lever, and look back. U should have 4 doors, 2 left, 2 right, so go plant an earthbind on the first doors to ur left and right. Gotta be quick, once u done it, come back to the lever and plant ur totems (just dont plant earth ones :P)

U will be able to kill the right and left sides without much pain, but now u gotta focus, the back left and right gates will come.
Go a little to the front and start spamming LB to nuke 1 target fast, and once they reach u, try to plant fire nova totems, along with some CL+LB spamm, when u can make it, ull be a bit down in health, so just put ur health to the max, usually target self, 1 lesser healing + gift of naaru on each one.

Next and last wave, is the most difficult, they will be all enraged when they get u, so all u have to do is, kill only with LB, focus just one target, and once they hit u, drop all ur stoneclaw totems. U gotta be fast, so just nuke one by one, once all stones are dead, drop fire novas and try to nuke the rest. At this point, even if u wiped, or ur 2/3 man down, u can either reincarnate or just run from the GY, the boss will be waiting, and in fact its a lot easier with mana up.

Its very difficult, @66 its gets very easy, but u have better thing to do then.

The doors do not open on timers to my knowledge.. just when you kill the last mob..

Earthbind I have given a shot too.. seems most kill my totems en route to killing me..

Stoneclaw FTW

The doors do open on a timer, unless they changed it very recently.

When I did that 2nd boss at 63, I basically flipped the lever, killed the first two groups normally (not hard). Saved EM+CL for the 3rd group, had to toss one heal in there. For 4th group, I basically went LB, CL, shock, heal, heal, CL, shock, heal, heal, clean up the leftovers. WIth fire nova totems sprinkled in there. Remember to keep water shield up as soon as the last one dies in each group. Then just drop stoneclaw totems to aggro the boss and run to the other side of the room. Redeploy wrath totems and nuke it down.

Gates open as u kill the packs.
When i did the boss at 63, i dropped the earthbind in the 2 closest gates, and it worked. Mobs never went for totem.
