How would folks rate this compared to Heroic bosses?
Easier or Harder than Ingvar the plunderer for example (i failed against him).
I'll give it a go tonight - would be nice to get some trinket upgrades on my shammies.
Thanks Fur.
Looks like I'll be heading in there tonight.
Looks like people are having some success with this. I just wanted to add in my two cents.
My five shaman team was able to take him down yesterday with only two deaths. I popped earth elementals, and had one of the five shamans with a chain heal earth elemental macro in place of my lightning macro, so 4/5 were DPSing with lightning, all 5 would do flame shock/lava burst.
On top of that, I added in the /use beer line into the DPS macro to help with the stunning.
I basically just focused on Coren, and he went down relatively easily, though two shamans did die. My main died pretty close to the beginning, which really only meant I had 3 attacking the majority of the fight.
With the two deaths, and loss of the two earth elementals respectively, I still had 2 earth elementals alive at the end of the fight. So maybe this could be done with less than 5 Earth Elementals, meaning you don't have to wait the 20 minutes between fights.
I didn't use any cooldowns, heroism, or anything like that, either, just to see if I could do it.
Anyway, good luck!
yeah, he's stupidly easy, the first time I killed him it was just me and 1 dps, the rest of the group died pretty quick cause i didn't pick him up fast enough. So park your tank next to him, and run whoever is doing the quest around then swap to the tank and they'll already be beating on him instead of your group.
I downed him this morning when half asleep with my pally team. I didn't know what to expect and hate being tossed all over the place. Fairly easy to down, though.
Goddamnit. Three of my shaman didnt get their quest reset this morning. Im so fucking pissed. Got shit drops on the other 6 characters too. 15 tries so far and no mount or remote.
edit: that sounds really harsh. Im pissed, but not end of the world pissed. More like someone peed in my cheerios.
I'd be pretty pissed if someone peed in my cheerios.

i ran 30 times last night (25 lv80s, and 5 lv79), none of those beasts dropped. Doesn't like a good drop rate to me at all. Gonna to do 30 more times tonite. Good news is that the boss is too easy to beat, and for a geared pally, you don't even need any additional healing. I started with my top team (some T8s) first, and didn't even notice we killed the boss...I was wondering where the boss was until i loot the epic item from his dead body. lol :p
As long as they were pretty hydrated and didn't take vitamins, it's really not that bad.Quote:

It was really easy. My son was on his holy pally and just picked up the adds while the tank and dps blew the boss away.
Will go back again till all the shamans have the caster trinket and my son has a tanking trinket for his pally.
Takes longer to get there than it does to complete 5 times :)
I condensed my guys to a second account recently, so today I reset him 10 times using my secondary account. Then ran it with other officers of my guild (same group of people I did it with last year) on the 15th summon, we got the following:
http://srsbusiness.org/blog/brewfest-09-01-preview.jpg
So far, 1 Ram, 1 Kodo (I won the Kodo on my DK) and we got a plethora of trinkets, though no Bubbling trinket yet. And still no remote or shanker.
I'm gonna try again, I had a "Doh!" moment, I was running my pally as ret, not prot.
DOH.
Might sound like a weird question, but can you run into BRD with 10 toons still?
And if so, does the quest show up if you are in a raid group?
Just wanna get this confirmed as it could save me some time.
pretty sure they killed 10 manning anything but lvl 20 instances and below a long time ago. It helps if you have a warlock, just summon away. otherwise, u gotta hoof it.
I got my first kodo tonight. got a stam trinket for my DK. got the healing trinket for my resto sham, left 3 melee trinkets rotting >.<
Anyone know if you fail to kill Coren if you lose that try for the day? I want to dust off some old characters for more tries but dont want to make the effort if failing just means no more tries.
Yes, if you fail he despawns. I found out when trying to solo him once with my DK when I got distracted.
Also, as for the statement about hoofing it. You can summon people using the stone in the middle of the mountain. But, yeah what I did was just run all 10 of my guys to the entrance of BRD. I did this last week in anticipation of the event. Then just zone in, kill the dwarves on the right, then click the controls. This will take you directly to Coren's room. So it's not really difficult.
Well, I'm happy. I got a remote on my DK group, so now both groups can avoid the ganking and get the "Pumped Up" buff from the band. Not seen a mount yet, but the second mole machine gets rid of any excuses to not kill him daily.

Yo guys. I have 5 man team, 1 pala and 4 shamans. Downed him easy 5 times last nigth. but am i able to active the quest with some alts aswell? 3 alts which is 70, 66 and 66. Are they able to start the quest?
Edit* Nvm! You have to be level 75 to start the quest.
He also drops an epic BOE mace, this one;
[item=48663]Tankard O' Terror[/item]
Sells for 1500g on my server.
I managed to drop one tonight, here's hoping I can get a few more to drop. My Enh shammy is very happy.Quote:

wow...both mounts in one kill, thats pretty crazy.
and i like the "mace", need to score one and see what i can sell it off for...
I'd hold onto mace until AFTER brewfest ends. Then put it on AH for ridiculous price.
I tried it again, got roflstomped several times. My guys are just not geared enough, and I haven't been tanking/healing long enough. It's cool, I just forget you guys are farming heroics, and I just started normal instances. :)
I've got plenty to do, grinding rep and finishing off questing for gold. I'm blazing through the Icecrown group quests, it's a blast. :)
Well, aside from getting daily restarts off by one hour and losing 5 tries, I ended up pretty well off. Had one drop with a trinket and both mounts. Got another Kodo, remote, and the BoE mace. Had one almost kill where he had 3k health left, but they chain kegged my druid till I died; grr! The DKs still have a the best clear percentage, but the shammies are getting better as the lowbies are leveling.
Of course in standard Blizard tradition, they released the new Onyxia today, thus making new content compete with limited time holiday content, oh yay! I though I'd have some more time to kill her on my teams for bags and just to do it before she was buffed, but I guess not.
Also, I tried trading the mounts around, but none of the other characters got the achievement. I might have boggled it somehow, I was tired and the 10 minute downtime between Army of the Dead is boring.

9 kills, 0 mounts.
After reading a few posts of people getting steamrolled...i was getting nervous.
Turns out, I did not have to heal a single time during each of my 5 fights so far.
5 kills, 0 mounts

I've run this 3 times now with the 5 shamans and had a 5/5 successs (as far as kills each time).
For the first two summons I have 5 earth elementals up -- they last long enough for 2 summons.
Then for the 3rd I use 5 fire elementals
Then I wait for the CD on earth Elementals and do the last two with those agian.
I got the kodo last year on my main shaman but so far this year its only dropped the lame ram.
ok 4 rets cant do this... he crushes for 7k a hit and there is just too much other damage coming in to keep up in healing and do dps. I was trying to get my rogue some stuff, but guess he will only get 4 tries a day with the shaman =)
i have 1 team of 80's. Have done it 3 days 15 tries so far
0 kodos
0 rams
0 remotes
0 BOE maces (although today was the first day for them i think)
15 random trinkets ( 1 crit AP 1 healing 2 Crit SP 3 Dodge and 8 +170 Stam mugs
Talk about bad luck so far
15 kills
1 kodo
2 rams
1 boe mace
Kind of strange that they are giving free 226 weapons to all 1h mace using melee classes all of a sudden after being relatively stingy with welfare weapons.
Summary:
20 ish kills ( I wiped some )
2 remotes
2 kodo
1 ram
1 BoE mace
5-6 of each Brewmaiden
Characters used:
6 x 80 DKs
1 x 80 Shammy
1 x 80 Druid
3 x76 Shammy
50 x Army of Dead Ghouls
Worth noting that the mounts are not on the same drop table, as I had one kill with both mounts and a trinket.

Wow, nice. I think about subbing in an unused 80, but I just cant be bothered to bring them down there. Just lazy I guess.
