I never bothered with it last year, my very first attempt at this was last night. First time out of the gate I use all my mana and wiped. At that point I was thinking I'd skip any further attempts and call it quits - lucky I didn't. I attempted him another 5 times and kicked his ass each time. Mana is still an issue if I don't keep any eye on it and act accordingly. The unfortunate thing is, the rings are an upgrade for most of my girls :) I still have 2 more rings to get and ofcause the mount (lol, yeah right).
I went back today after dinging 69 and killed him 5 times :) Old 1 death.
Some classes are much easier than others
on 4 locks (aff) easy at 65 ( life tap and drain for win)
voids (improved for tanking)
tried it on 69 hunters (4) and healer could not recover from aoe effects and pets did not do well on horesmans attack. tried 2 times at 69 on hunters.
Will lvl them to 70 and try again.
Locks are by far much eaiser
any standard 3 dps healer and tank are good if units are 70 or close
:)
I've been killing him easily with my 4 shamans (in pvp blues and honor shield).. Don't reallly have a mana problem.. I use 1 earth elemental each time and just keep him tanked (or 4 fire elementals to burn him quick).. Spam lightning bolt, heal as appropriate and burn the head ASAP. This will force him to go through each phase relatively quickly.. Generally I can kill him before he either summons adds, or they before hatch.
1 pally and 4xshaman
I run with 4 mana totems and never run out of mana. I get to about 50% by the time I kill him.
The key is to keep him away from your dps so you don't have to heal them. What I do is when the head flies off I take a few seconds to hit follow and run a few yards away from him. This makes sure anyone who ate a pumpkin is facing the correct way and i hit my head targeting macro:
/target Head of
Once I'm targeted, i shoot 2 rounds into the head which puts me at 68%, then pop elemental precision and put him down to about 55%. Second round is one round of bolt + avengers shield. Third round i pull him far away from my group, heal everyone up quick, blow him up, then pop trinkets and waste the head for the kill.
One shaman is specd resto for heroic so she only heals and does no dps, the dps stops when I heal since I really don't need to rush him. 5 kills takes about 20 minutes with looting, and with travel time it takes me about 35 minutes to do the whole thing.
I tried to 5 man this with my setup (1dru 4lock) at 66. I ran out of mana on my druid from having to heal the pet so much, and the level difference caused a lot of damage reduction in the form of resists/crit rate.
I went back at 70 with the same setup and was able to down him with no issue at all. My druid only burned about 2k mana each attempt.
My boyfriend and I are looking into attempting this as soon as I get my 4 shammies to 66 so I have their wonderful Earth Elementals. :) Unfortunately, he's a 70 holy priest. Do you guys think it's possible for 1 70 holy priest and 4 lvl 66 shammies to take him down?
I usually get the head to 1% the first time it falls.
I do him each day with 4 shamans. No fifth. No mount yet. :<
