Brewfest quest in BRD

I park all five shamans on top of each other at max range, and start nuking the instant he is attackable. While standing on top of each other means you eat cleaves, you can just CH out of it, and when the moles appear, you wont get knocked out of los of the boss.

Keep stoneclaw down and a constant stream of magma totems, alongside chain lightning every time its off cd, and he goes down very fast.
I have not actually died yet in any of my kills of him, and have been doing 5 a day, but I think my gear on the Moo's is a pretty big factor.

I'd still spread them out to avoid the aoe damage more easily tbh. :P

But if it works for you, who am I to say. xD

After some additional research, I think I know whats going on (Need to try it out today though)

- The beer does NOT prevent the kegg, it prevents a straight stun. (Brought in another toon yesterday which didnt have the /use beer thing, and she got stunned, not kegged)

- The elite will kegg the highest aggro target 16 secs after spawning, and will keep kegging. (wowwiki.com/Coren_Direbrew)

This explains everything I was seeing. I was using beers like mad, still get kegged. And would typically get kegged at around 20%-15%ish, so that means "everyone else" has the DPS to burn him faster than I do. (Chain heroism, drums, I put out about 700-1000 DPS, keep in mind CLs hit adds making that an inflated number). I dinged about a week ago, so only sitting at about 5-600dmg on the Elemental Shamans, and I run with 1 Resto, 3 Elementals, 1 Protadin.

Further backing this is a forum thread on the same topic :

So, my thinking now is :

- I dont have the DPS to burn him down before she starts kegging, so I need to kill her the second she spawns. This will prolong the fight, as she respawns fairly fast, and I will get mana issues :(

- I dont have the gear for the shammies to tank him while I am kegged. Sitting at 5K health, they take 2 hits from him and are history.

But, will try today to burn her down as soon as she spawns. If that doesnt work, I will pop an Earth elemental in a corner somewhere, drag them all over to the earthelemental when she spawns, drag the boss back out of range again. That way I have an earth elemental offtanking her for the duration. But sounds complicated ;(

Greatness,

Maybe respec the resto back to elemental if you are having problems with dps. Or drop a fire elemental per attempt. I think this will get easier once you get the trinkets from him and can use them. I would think worse case you drop 4 earth elementals and burn the crap out of him. Then wait 20 mins and do it all over again.

And I do NOT have a beer in my inventory when it happens.

On ALL of your characters?

Remember -- when the mug gets thrown at you twice (without drinking the first), someone RANDOMLY gets barreled -- you could just be unlucky about it hitting your tank >.< So all of the people in your party need to be drinking their mugs, otherwise you're going to get ALOT of disorient barrels.[/quote]


Yepp. Absolutely 100% positive that I use all beer at all times.



to the other question : Dinged a week or so ago, so gear is bad. 6-700 DMG

My shammys have around 700 to 800 spelldmg buffed, nothing too special tbh. And also running with a resto one (in dps gear though), having little trouble atm. Also dont use chainlightning, just full nuke coren
