Put out 3 Fire Elementals, blow all cooldowns DO NOT HEAL paladin and just dps this shit outta him. Pop all cooldowns, whatever. With conquest gear he should drop in about 18secs. Make sure you have everything setup right before you engage him, those precious seconds when he starts casting is not the time to stop and figure out what you need to cast. I did all that plus bloodlust and he didnt even finish the second insanity cast, but once he died all your mirror images will still be there. The good news is you will get the achievement even though you will most likely get slaughtered by two groups of mirror images. You can still loot him after hes dead and you zone back in.
Got him!!!! Yeah, it never even occurred to me to only bring up 3 Fire Elementals. I just always pop all 4 on bosses out of habit, but it helped!!!!! 6 Achievements to go!!!!
Good to hear ;)
I'm confused, why are 3 fire elementals better than 4 for this boss?
This is the only significant achievement I have left.
3 so you keep your Totem of Wrath out.
Oh I see, I'll try that tonight, thanks!
i dont want to mess this topic but any suggestions when i run normal (lets say lvl 74) Herald seems to be a hard cake to crack as multiboxer. How to survive insanity?
My guess is that as a boxer, non healing classes are tricky, but doable. What you want to do is broadcast a targetnearestenemy macro and then spam your dps button adds go down pretty quickly, the trick is simply to spam that button and keep an eye on all four screens to manage positioning. You may combine this with IWT and click-to-move :-)
i have caster dps team (same team on signature). So your suggestion might work pretty well. I could mass fear with warlock and on elementals i can thunder if needed and spam heal. As well i have totems on shamans. Dont know how will resto shammy survive it but pala should tank nicely all adds.Quote:

I'm having a hard time beating Herald Volazj when he cast insanity, how are people dealing with your toons each being in a different phase. I'm using Isboxer and I've set a hot key to target nearest enemy on each and spamming the dps and heal buttons. I'm running 1x prot pally and 4 elemental shaman with pretty decent gear but I'm losing 2-3 toons on the first insanity. As a side not I have him down to about 40% health by the time he is done casting the first insanity.
The first time I did this boss it probably took me about 8 minutes to down him. I ended up with just my druid healer and my paladin left up and slowly DPS'd him through his last 30% or so after losing most of my team.
I've found that popping fire elemental during the first insanity can help to get all the adds down. Also manually going through each toon and targeting your healer mirror image first can be a really helpfull.
Man i thought he skipped the first insanity if u get him to a certain hp level. I had him to 80k hp left and he casted insanity. Did the 4 ele shamans 3 fire ele heroism pally wings. I just need to know at what point he will skip the first one giving me time for the second one.
i believe he will skip the first one if you get him to the point where he's supposed to cast the second.Quote:

that will leave you another 5-6 seconds to finish him off.
While in Insanity you can try and use your interact with target key and then your formation key (break follow/ IWTmove). This will face your casters with whoever hit them first (sine they will have auto-targeted it)Quote:

every now and again, hit IWT again and continue dps.
Eventually you'll have your adds down on some toons and things will get simpler.
If you have some toons with total immunity (ice block, shields... ) make sure you use them to save time, so that your main will be able to help once he's done with his toons.
Your healer should probably just spam heals on himself if he's doing weak dmg.
my first runs i would always finish with only my tank and healer.
