i wiped and wiped and wiped and logged and read this thread. Funnily enough I didn't struggle that much on James Brown but my reaction time isn't great when the purple patches appear, which leaves a) most toons at 20% health and my tank needing big heals so my druid is having capacity issues with healing.
I'll give it another go on Saturday, i think it's a matter of practice makes perfect.
This is a long thread so maybe you missed it- the video posted by Diwa.Quote:

Does this still work? I tried it a while back and it seemed to reset the boss when you dragged him to the stairs as shown in the video, maybe I was doing something wrong :P
Last time I did FoS was a few weeks ago and it worked still.Quote:

whatever that tactic was, he leaps to the slaves and resets. I'll keep trying different locations but at least i'm not wiping ;)
Ok done. finally downed him!
maybe it has something to do with a range of 30 yards like the eek boss in Gundrak ?
the first boss aoe is a physical damage attack, very hard on clothies. on my mix team the mage always kept dying. you could try soul linked lockes to help mitigate, but the damage is all physical. on forge of souls, I find that you can always anticipate the soul wells by the mirror images. just keep moving in a manner that you aren't on top of each other and stop moving when he does his ground slam animation. gl
Cheers to you for attempting this at sub par gear. When I downed this instance on normal, I had none of T9 or any set gear for that matter and just sported some crappy rep gear. When I was at same level gear I found that my DK tank held up better than my pally for interrupts. Now it doesn't matter anymore even on heroics.Quote:

Found it easier to do this as oppose to just following. I maintain just enough distance so DoS is between me and the shamans for when he starts beaming. soon as he beams, i press follow and just start running behind him and nuke while he continues to beam. At some point, you'll get the hang and most importantly the timing of when to stop nukes and run for beams.
EDIT: This was prior to ISBoxer which improved my game greatly as I don't have set buttons for specific targets (healing) anymore. I basically just do click-throughs. Additionally, my gear at the time the video was taken was already above the instance level - was just farming for some specific items I still needed on some toons.
Thank you Emps! Thats a very nice video and explanation, gonna be very helpful im sure! (I'm probably gonna try FoS tonight ;-)Quote:
