woot. Skadi is a pain in the ass, especially when using the harpoons breaks bear form, so I had to do some quick window swapping and have my lock use the harpoons.

Grats, I hate that event. I forgot to do it on my other team argh.
After UP I went to VH, I've cleared this place many times so it wasn't any big deal, until I broke kill time records on Xevozz and Cyanigosia
28 second Xevozz kill, didn't have to heal, healer didn't do any DPS, the 381 dps on the meter is from trash (magma totem is OP rite?)

38 second Cyanigosa Kill

I doubt these are huge kills or anything, but it's awesome to see how I'm shattering old records and improving even on stuff I farm mindlessly.
Nicely done :)
I always collect the harpoons on my tank and then reset the encounter before handing them over to one or two other characters for the final push.
Once engaged, I park the 4 shammies near the harpoons and use mouse broadcasting to actually use the harpoons. It's still a pain in the ass, but I find it easier that way, and with a bit of luck you can fire off two or three harpoons on each click too.

I love the Skadi fight. Bubble x5 > whirlwind :D
Is there anyway to target the harpoons and launchers and interact with target.
So on one alt have a key press that targets a harpoon, hit your interact with target, then when skadi is in range target launcher and hit interact with target.
(probably not but worth checking)

Did you do the run in gather up the harpoons and run out tactic?
I've avoided Heroic UP up to now purely because of that skadi fight.
However having run it solo in a group that did the reset trick I'm sure I can box it with enough practise.
Gratz though, impressive achievement

What WORKED though, was hanging everyone back at the start where he is, and collect up harpoons, the mobs come 2 at a time and every other set will drop a harpoon, when you have 6-8, run out to the previous room and wait for the event to reset. then run back in and high tail it as far as you can ( get about 3/4s the way down, but I have a super geared tank and strong healer) I DPS down the trash, collect any extras i see hanging around. and then go clear the rest of the trash. then I clear trash as it spawns and strafe left to right to avoid the ice. And then use an alt to use the launchers. Once you can do this easily, the hardest part is the transition when he comes down and you have to pick him up, he's taunt able, but save your taunt for when he starts to WW, then taunt and RUN AWAY, he'll follow, but he may break and go after your team, so be ready to re-taunt, you don't taunt off the bat so he's not on DR if you need this 2nd taunt. I managed to have my tank eat a WW and was able to heal through it, unless you're pretty geared T8+ with a strong dedicated healer I wouldn't try it, just run out and avoid it.
If you have a paladin to holy wrath stun all the trash, you can rocket boot all the way to the end (run about 1/4 of the way down then hit the nitro boosts) and just AoE them all down. its super super easy this way.
But i'm one of the only crazy people who went 5x engineering....
Man im so jealous of those rocket boots.... I went to the trainer and have 5 lvl 1 engineers now lol need more goldz
must resist ......
Seriously if I didn't have 2x 440+ profs on all 5, i'd probably consider it...
but x5?
and dropping 5x 440+ profs? ..
hells no
I dropped
3x 415+ leatherworkers
1x 450 Herbilist
Uh.. and something else? don't recall.
And its been worth every penny (copper?). Parachute cloaks + nitro boots = most fun in the game I've ever had
The teleporters / wormholes, rocket launchers, auctioneer access in dalaran, mote extractors x5, portable bank, repair bots, portable mailbox.... etc... thats just gravy.

Gratz on that, last time I went and did it I took him down on the first try, was so happy! Before that I had so much trouble with him it was not even funny.
To get my tanking sword I dropped a dps and brought a guild mage with me. We did the collect and run out - then run back in and down to the launchers. I set up camp against the wall right next to the launcher nearest the door (the foam death doesn't hit you there). She would run down and trigger the event while I aoe'd down the trash. She did the launchers and would always forget to iceblock when Skadi dismounted lol. We got the speed kill using this method.
Never had a problem doing it this way, except her iceblock failures. When I go solo healer my tanks never taunt and people are running everywhere making healing a bitch. Why can't people listen. lol
