Last night's attemtps: 3 out of 5 times I downed him.
The pisser is the last 30k or so, I pop starfall on all 3 boomkins then, as I know the tank will get kegged. Any way to avoid the kegging? Each time I've wound up with only a single toon alive (wait no, one time I had TWO!). That's enough I suppose, but wow it's stressful watching my guys die immediately when I get kegged :(
You cannot avoid getting the keg head…unless she is dead….
Strategy
First, before starting the fight, have everyone make and hotkey the following macro:
/use Dark Brewmaiden's Brew
This will allow people to quickly get rid of the brew when one of the Brewmaidens uses it on them, preventing them from being stunned.
Focus on Coren, for the most part. Make sure everyone stays out of his melee range to avoid the disarm effect.
As long as everyone is careful about removing the brew when they get it, Isla and be safely ignored when she pops up.
Ursula needs to be dealt with in one of two ways. The easiest way is to have the DPS burn her down rapidly. Alternatively, a hunter or warlock pet can off tank her. Since she will only barrel the highest thing on her threat list, this will keep the tank from getting barreled. Regardless, the tank should not touch Ursula.
The smaller adds should be AoEd down when they appear, until Coren is below 30%. After that they spawn fast enough that it is more effective just to burn Coren and ignore the adds.
Ah ha, I had figured it was Coren doing the barreling near the end of the fight, not Ursula...that explains a lot.
Since I can survive up until this point without issue so long as I don't do anything stupid, I'm totally going to add a "/target Ursula" in after my "/assist Party1" line in my dps macros on the dps toons, if she's up she'll get dps'd down fast this way, or at least it'll be a dps'er that gets kegged and not the tank.
Thanks for that, I think that'll help a lot.
Last night's drops were another stam trinket (same as the one I got the first night), two coasters (the melee dps trinket) and one Tankard 'O Terror which I'll be selling after the event ends ;)
We'll see how tonight goes, I have high hopes now. Amazing how it can go from a total clownshow to something much more streamlined in a matter of a few attempts.
