Instances
This is a PVE tactics thread so i'll go into a lot of detail about instances.
Auchenai Crypts
Shirrak the Dead Watcher
- Positioning - You need to stay spread out
http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/k...eadWatcher.gif - Send in a couple of VW to absorb some damage while you DoT him up. All DoTs including Immolate and Curse of the Elements.
- Start draining life straight after, your gonna need to use your instant shadowbolts when they proc.
Caverns of Time - Durnholde Keep
- Fairly straight forward and fairly easy, seed of corruptions, dots and instant howl of terror for trash
- 1st Boss - VW tank, dot up then drain tank
- 2nd Boss - VW tank, half dots on boss, spam SoC till adds are dead.
- 3rd Boss - Waves of Dragonkin - Dot them up and fear them, keep them feared till they die
3rd Boss - BOSS - VW tank, DoT him up either nuke with shadow bolts or drain life.
Mechannar- I was really excited to do this instance.
- 1st boss, enslaved 4 demons simultaneously and set them to tank and dps the boss. Ezmode.
- 2nd boss. Fire bitch, she was tricky, at the time i was in quest greens and blues (i'm still in greens and blues).
Basically, DoT her up and run around. Took a couple of attempts but i got her in the end. Healthstones and Health pots are a must. - 3rd boss. Suprisingly this was actually the hardest boss. He was killing my guys before i could kill him. In the end i had to DoT him up fully then nuke him with shadow bolts.
PVP
- Alterac Valley
Could there be a more fun instance? i don't think so.
Basically start off defending, then push to O when we've killed a bunch.
Defending towers is incredibly difficult, the hardest part is getting all my guys up to the tower and then into the flag room, it's just too narrow.
O is fun, we generally go on foot all the way to the SPGY and kill anything that tries to get past
1 thing to note is i only ever get /love from other battleground goers. - Warsong Gulch
Only had 1 game. Sat on defence and wiped out everything that tried to get through, dotted up flag carriers and didn't bother following them.
We won!
Arena
- Really reluctant to do arenas, being full affliction meant that i'd have close to no survivability.
I was right, we die VERY QUICK. Was IMO impossible to with with my 5 lock team.
Next attempt was 4 Locks + 1 shaman healer (a friend)
We did win 2 games out of 10 . The strat with the wins was to mount up and rush them and AOE fear while putting up dots on everything hoping that the healers couldn't heal through so many dots. Worked sometimes, 2 times in fact.
