I understand - I've read wowwiki, thottbot, wowhead, etc on every fight in naxx, and all the other raids available right now in WoTLK - even though I've never been, I want to be prepared in case I do go sometime. :) Of course all the amount of gear in the world isn't going to help prevent a wipe in those few circumstances where there can be an instant-wipe if something is done wrong, but over all if you can get those few parts down good, the rest becomes far easier if you have better gear.
someone once said that you could use the major dreamless sleep potion to sleep your way through 90% the "time for fun" part of SL.
I never tried this myself. I think they said you could sleep thru 13 of the 15 seconds of the mind control ( or something to that affect ).
someone else told me that the SL "time for fun" gets harder the better geared you are and that you could remove weapons or reduce gear before the mind control ( I never tried that either ) to help survive the event.
I just wonder if you can't pop this potion as the raid warning goes up and sleep through this mind control as well. Just a warning though any dmg taken will wake you up so anyone on the team that isn't sleeping can wake the rest of the team.
Has anyone done Ossiran, the final boss of AQ20? Having done the fight at 60 I knew the whole instance very well and breezed though the first two bosses. (I skipped the others since the achievement is all I'm after) Healing through his damage is easy enough, even with the damage buff, so I didn't bother kiting him around to the pyrimds. However, every time I wiped (tried three times) it was because he casts a 30 second Cyclone on the tank and then owns the rest of the group. Any idea if it's possible to do this without a second tank? Group comp is in sig, thanks!
Edit: Cyclone, not Whirlwind.
On the first boss in AQ40, I think we used to CC the person mind controlled. That one I'm not too sure on, its been a while. But I know for a fact that we removed our weapons to really help with less melee damage.
I don't really remember much of a problem with a dk and 4 druids. Heal through it, I had my guys spread out (from knockback I believe) and a priest buddy of mine helping.Quote:

The strat we used on the first boss in AQ 40 was to send a hunter pet on the real boss, once he splits the hunter pet continue to attack the real boss.
We always sheeped the ones that got mced and used 5 tanks. Only the MT needed to be prot, the others were fury warriors in tank gear. The reason we wanted 5 tanks was if a tank got mced another one picked the add upp, the real boss didnt mc or i might remember wrong.
I read your post about the Twin Emperors and its not a tank and spank fight.
Without doubt a bloody annoying fight with bad luck.
It took my guild 3 months to kill theese suckers, we already cleared 8 bosses in naxx before we managed to get a kill. It took us 2 days to kill cthun who was cake compared to theese suckers.. What always wiped us was unbalancing strike that lowers defence with 100. This + a fast meele attack always "one shotted" our tank and wiped us.
I used to tank the caster boss on my warlock wich wasnt much of a problem.
We had 2 warlock tanks and 2 warrior tanks just beeing ready for everytime they teleported.
When the caster boss was with me i tanked him wiht searing pain, when he teleported to the other lock/warrior i dps bugs and lifetapped back lost mana.
You should be able to do 1 mill damage in 15 fairly easy but i have my doubts you will manage to outdps 30k of healing each tick with 5 toons.
Tried twins again last night, and the best i got them to was 60%. I only tried 4 times but the problem is when they do the teleport switch, the old spells my guys were casting fly across the room and aggro the caster twin, so he runs all the way back to my other guys. I need a deadly boss mod or something to tell me when they are switching so i can stop casting to avoid aggro.
After failing on twins, I went to try BC content. I tried High king Malgar in gruuls lair and wiped many times trying to do it. I think the best attempt at it was downing 3 of the adds before wiping. not an easy fight. I think i just need another tank, maybe a healer to get some of the adds off me. (constant loss of character control sux)
After failure there, I headed over towards Doom lord Kazzak. EASY guy. downed him in 1 min 3 seconds. 500g is nice and it paid for all the repairs for the day from wiping.
Headed south looking for Doomwalker but he wasnt up. Went inside of Black Temple to look around.
Did 2 attempts at High warlord Naj'entus. 1st attempt i didnt know what to do and wiped from not spreading out 10 yards. 2nd attempt got him to about 60% before he did his bubble. Spikes killed my healer so everyone fell after that but he seems doable.
