Very nice editing, I might suggest that having the graphic each time you do your ground AoE is kinda overkill after the 5th time or so. It was a pretty cool effect though! I find it interesting that you just eat the frontal cone AOE that Ingvar does... on my slaves it will drop them to 30% health so you must have massive health on your slaves or Im doing something wrong. I had to make a seperate movement key for this boss alone. I bound the tank's forward movement to my down arrow key so that when he charges up I run my main through him and the slaves back up in the same direction. It gets hectic at times, but once I made that key change I one shot him.

I also noticed you actually run your main in frost presence, do you slaves run in that too?

Lol, yeah, it a was a pain in the ass doing it so many times. You can easily tell that after so many times the Rumble gets better than worse, and the Invert color skew got better than worse (it really takes patience) lol. I hope to figure out some sort of method that suits me for my movies, (this was just a test to see what it would come out like and what people would say to add or take away).

I might have had IBF/Vamp on... though I am not sure.

Yeah, I think I had accidently put the Blood Aura on at one point in another run and I was getting my face smashed in. But since you already get the AOE aura from talents, you don't need to have the self aura on.

Frost Presence:
The death knight takes on the presence of frost, increasing total health by 10%, armor contribution from items by 80%, and reducing spell damage taken by 15%. Increases threat generated. Only one Presence may be active at a time.

Blood Presence:
Strengthens the Death Knight with the presence of blood, increasing damage by 15% and healing the Death Knight by 4% of damage dealt. Only damage dealt to targets that grant experience or honor can trigger this heal. Only one Presence may be active at a time.

I have all of them use Frost. I don't know how the run would work with the other 4 being Blood. It seems like in my Dungeon runs, the aggro bounces all over the place, though I do tend to keep it on my main. So they might take to much damage if they don't have Frost up... I will test it out tonight and see what happens. I don't even know if Party Blood and Self Blood even stack. The extra 15% to damage might be worth it, but then again, I think it's all situational.

After work, I will get some numbers going and see what I can come up with.

No, Blood Presence and Blood Aura do not stack. You are doing the best combo for a 5-boxer. Blood Aura for the 5x Health and Frost presence individually for the tanking aspect. Nice video by the way. :thumbsup: I am too high now to go back to Utgarde until Heroic. Ingvar is a pain though.

Hey, thanks :) Yeah, I downed him the first time, but it was pure luck that I lived. No skill on that one, it was "OHGOD OHGOD OHGOD" *screaming incoherent words* (Lol, to be honest, the first thought that came to mind was "hahahaha, I beat Fury to him") lol, sorry. Not trying to compeat with you, it just helps a little bit when two poeple are doing the same thing. I try a little bit harder :thumbsup:

Have you tried Azjol-Nerub yet? As soon as my toons hit 72 I am going to attempt it, just wondering if you had tried it. I didn't want to waste my time if it was diffuclt for you than it's going to be hella hard for me, then I may wait till 73.

Funny you should mention that. I have been farming that zone for the tank rings that the final boss drops. I like the zone because it's very easy, super quick and its easy for exp/stone keeper's shards. I will post a video of it just for giggles for you. It's a cake walk though. You almost have to TRY to die. =) 15 mins, 3 bosses, in and out....reset all instances, head back around to the front, kill a few groups of alliance 80's and rinse/repeat. =) Good times.

What is this xp you speak of? I believe only the bosses have xp in this instance. Hey Fury whats your cast sequence for your DKs? I assume its something like Icy Touch, Plague Strike, Pestilence, then Oblits?

The only ones that don't are the critters just before the free fall, and the critters the first boss summons.
I ran in there and cleared the first boss no problems, but the second boss, lol, before he was done clearing out the spiders attacking him, he was a half health and I was like "score!" ran up, jumped him, and downed him before he could get his AOE dot off (dpsed him really quick) but then lost 1 because of all the spiders. Second attempt I died (tried it again, and this time he got his dot off just as I attacked him, all my toons got webbed, then aoe gas thing)... I died, I was sad.

I like the 3rd boss. He is pretty fun. easy as hell, but fun (4th run through got second ring and picked it up with the same guy) *DOH*

I changed my spec up abit with one of my toons [url='http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Durotan&n=Sux']Sux[/url] <-- still working on it, but I had her in Frost presence and she pulled and kept aggro the whole time, could not keep it off her. So I switched her over to unholy presence and it was all fine and dandy. In the end, she pulls away even with my main toon tanking and using Rune Strike whenever it's up she still pulled away and kept the lead the whole time. Improved Icy Talons does wonders for my group. Went in and worked Nexus pretty hard with it. I may swtich another toon over for the DPS, because with that much of a boost from one, then 2 are going to make this really easy, lol.

very very strange to see you clearing the whole instance with 5x 70 DKs (and so without a healer)

while I'm wiping in there with a lvl 72 specced tank, a lvl 72 specced healer and 3 lvl 72 damagedealers.
(pala, 4xshaman combo).

You mind giving me the toons name and server or their armory to check out their gear and so forth, maybe I/others could help you.

Havent done an instance for a while, but at 72 I was getting around 800-900 dps per DK (non tank), is that what you guys are seeing? Also I saw some 3k hits in this video, wtf I dont think my tank has ever hit that hard! What was that?

What's the song that starts during the Skarbald the Constructor fight? It's an excellent choice for ambiance.
