Today was the daily for VH. My first boss was Xevozz. He kept teleporting my group and killing us. So I did some research and found a good tactic to beat him. You should never get teleported using this. By the time he summons a second set of balls he should be close to dead. I found this on youtube ----

I did that tactic and it was cake.
This is pretty much how I beat him as well, I figured just to kite him along the top and do what DPS I can and then wait till the despawn and then recast to pound him.
Its not him I have problem with its the water guy. I can beat him but not very easy, as I attack him like mad and then run my guys all around to use the red switches to kill the adds. I almost die everytime I do this guy.
Dont try dmg him at all unless hes enraged. He wont take damage at all (at least nearly none). You just have to hit him 30 (or 40?) times and then he'll burst out again.Quote:

So just drag him to a switch, then shoot something at him until he bursts and pull the switch. Then move on to the next one, until he enrages. Only then you can do serious dmg to him / kill him.
kind regards
Dang, I always do this guy some crazy way that manages to squeeze off a W but it's never pretty. Good stuff.
I farmed h vh daily for about 3 weeks, got it down to about a 18 minute run until I stopped running heroics. I posted some tips elsewhere, but to resummarize:
- for void boss, just stack up, purge his buff whenever he gets it, ignore adds and go all out DPS on him. Heal as necessary (healing totem will take care of most of the damage), very easy boss as long as you purge and heal and go all out.
- for water boss, drag your team into a corner (so you dont get punted around) before she engages and drop your heal totems. have one person run over to another red switch, this is the "switch guy". you can just have your tank auto attack her until her charges reach 1, then the switch guy pulls the red switch. if you wait until shes at 0-1 charges, and pull, by the time the globes come out they all get auto destroyed. have your switch guy run to another switch while the tank picks her up and beats her down to 1 charge again, then pull switch again. rinse and repeat one last time, then just DPS her down the last 10% (she won't break apart anymore). She will hit the tank moderately hard while going from 40->1 charge, so keep up heals on him (totem should cover team).
- for ethereal boss, move your entire team upstairs, have tank closer to where boss will come up while team further back. Lust right away, burn boss fast. With ~2500 dps on 3 guys I was able to just kill him without moving at all, a blob did pretty much get right next to him but it still takes a few seconds for him to "power up" and it was enough for me to kill him (I run with a healer tho and had to just spam heals on tank while this was going on). The first few times I killed him I kited him around upstairs, but as a multiboxer once you are geared enough you can just burn him with lust and maxing DPS.
doggy and bird bosses are trivial tank'n'spank.
For final boss, just make sure to have some sort of team-strafe key, drop all heal totems, and have tank face boss always away from team. I've killed her in under 30 secs without even a teleport going off sometimes, so don't be afraid to lust and burn right as you engage and you can avoid teleports entirely (just strafe away if you teleport, reface boss).
I just beat this instance tonight (only second time attempting to run it). Got the defenseless acheivement. I ended up getting Xevozz and the bird guy for the bosses. Bird guy was just a tank and spank.
I found Xevozz to be easy. I had heard I should kite him across the ledge but I ended up just setting my shamans and myself up at the stairs right above him, and laying into him full force including trinkets and bloodlust, by the time the orbs even started moving toward him he was at < 50%. I ran about halfway across the balcony while he chased me, stopped and then finished him off before any orbs reached him. I don't think I even had to heal my tank and I only had to move once, though I think I was overgeared.
Cyanigosa was much tougher for me - I didn't read any strategies but had I known there would be craploads of blizzards I would have dropped a frost resistance totem - had to spend too much time chain healing. FR would have helped that immensely. Still, she went down pretty easily.
Did this instance again today and dropped a frost resistance totem on cyanigosa and it was utter cake. Does FR totem completely negate her blizzard damage because I didn't have to heal my shamans at all when I did this - they didn't take any damage.
Also got Ichorus this time and owned him. I positioned my team near the switch in the center. He knocked my tankw ay back and I hit the switch with a shaman, then I would position my tank in such a position that each time he would explode he would knock my tank right next to the other switches, so I could just flip the switch then run back to my shamans and pick up where I left off - no having to run clones around :)
Yeah I don't have trouble with anyone in there now, even the water guy is pretty easy.
