Any info is appreciated - euro servers are still coming up, and extended maintenance for some (a.o. Grim Batol).
Does the hilt drop for all chars in the group or just one? How long does the quest take to complete?

Grim batol has extended maintenance? : (
WHAT? source pls :D
Well as soon as they come up I will be doing them (did them on PTR servers too)..
You did them on PTR :). So I have some questions.
Are they difficult? Can we do them as boxers? How is the difficult to the other heroic instances?

Looks like 1h+, nothing major :)
I dont know if they changed something since Ive done it (3 weeks ago) but yea actually they are difficult (some parts at least)..
They are more difficult than most other heroic and yea of course boxers can do them :D Even though I wiped a few times at ICK and his damn AoE spells :/
Edit: oh well I will be doing them tonight then :/
No serious, do we have extended maintenance on grim batol?
Edit: Fuck.

I ran the first heroic 5man (forget the name) with my 5x melee group, pretty easy for a dk + 4 pally team imo...didnt get a chance to try the others as our server broke after that. Gearwise I have zero PVE gear, nothing but ilvl 213 and ilvl 245 pvp gear on my team
Also id like to add that the hilts are tradeable and can be sold, farming these for the first week or so may be worth while as I would expect the prices to drop fairly rapidly. On my server they are on AH for 10k, no idea if people are paying that much but thats what they are listed as. Hell, people paid thousands of gold for frost orbs a few days after wotlk started ;)
Having issues with devourer of souls soon as he leaps a shaman insta dies. trying to move the shaman and taunt but doesnt seem to be working. any suggestions?
If you waited till he leaps, you've waited too long, that means you've been standing in stuff thats killing you. You should see a purple area around the ground this indicates where he is leaping to. once you see it. move. I just whipped everyone around and continued DPS.Quote:

he'll mark someone with a red beam, I kept all my slaves in 1 spot so I'd always know where he would jump to, so when I saw the red beam, I got a couple chain heals off then I knew it was time to start moving. Worked well. I downed him only having to move twice, but did lose a shaman in the process.Quote:

mmm possible to use that (Interact with target) thingy? i have not been online for a few months so i have no idea.. :rolleyes:Quote:

Ick was nasty, managed to get him to 3 pct and 7 pct in 5 tries before I had to log for the day, getting back in the fight tomorrow. Ick is a fun fight btw, I love the zigzag during the bombs, although I'm having trouble with running one slave away during the phase where he targets a random target member and runs for him. I used follow and just ran the whole team which worked like half of the times, but most of the time he'd kill the target. How do you guys handle that?
What luck did you have with the hilts? I got 2 to drop during the clearing of PoS trash (both from the small skellie mobs). Anyone have all five yet? Do they also drop from normal?
Ya I need answers to these questions as well =) I did solo last night with the pally (trying to get him better tanking gear) but while I was doing this bosses I was wonding how boxers could do it. So any help would be great!Quote:

In Pos, you can run behind the saronite boulders to clear the frost debuff. The frost debuff is also has a range, so when he runs to a forge for a weapon stay away and the debuff should(maybe) clear. My server was really unstable last night so I didn't get to do the heroic versions of the new 5mans. I was able to get in the normal versions, and since I have to farm Tyrannus for the caster shield I wanted to see how much of a pain it will be.
Posts on wowhead indicate the hilt is dropping multiple times over the course of all three instances. Only on heroic and only from trash. ilvl 251 weapons will be nice for those of us who don't raid.
