WotLK - Trial of the Champion - (ToC)

[pinotnoir]

I cleared normal when the guy was my 2nd boss. I still cannot get past the 2nd boss girl. She is hell on my team setup. I have a pally 3 mages and a druid. I may run that with my dk and 4 shaman just to see how easy grounding totems and tremor make it. Trying to do it without grounding or tremors sucks really bad. At this point I just reset the instance if I get that whore. The last boss is much easier than paletress.

i ve done multiple normal runs with 5 paladins(1 prot+4retri). nice crystals farming and some good items.
heroic mode scaring me .
Probably multiple wipes waiting me. no tryed, busy with emblem farming. if i starts i can t stop, i know myself.

using a simple /assist /follow macro because i using blizz original +macaroon. have to remember evry time to click on this macro before use any offensive ability (these are on original blizz vehicle/mount bar)

my tactics:
- boss 1 (mounted phases) i stay near a wall where are avaible fresh mounts. kill all trash groups with melee and breaking shield. same thing on 3 champions, eventually with some charges. change horse if needed.
when all on ground use /equip for my weapon and it s easy. rogue champ is unique dangerous with is dot+aoe. running around, dispel poison and kill always him as first. orc do whirlwind aoe but all the champions are stunnable.

-boss2 (woman): can be dangerous, depends who is her summoned helper. cyanigosa is hard for me.my dps is the key. i suffers many fear before can kill the helper. sometimes wipe here. really intensive fight. many times melee facing badly etc.
boss2(man) is pretty easy i can easily fight without avoid the aoe its just a tank&spank. if aoe on all my group=all disoriented= no issues with aggro change.
in general at end of this boss i know have finished. last boss is a cake for all paladins.

-boss3 (knight)
p1: tank&spank . fight him dispelling dot, when he summon helper kill him then back to dk. in case run to recover slaves kicked away.
p2: massive aoe on summoned army of undead, dispel and run out from corpses. kill the dk.
p3: tank&spank healing who need.

I got past the whore. It turns out my pally tank castrandom sucked after patch. Thats why I couldnt keep bosses on me. I also changed to interact with target and that helped. Now that my pally can hold aggro now it's not that hard. I didnt know 3.2 broke my cast random pally tank macro.

I belive this happend to me, when i cleared normal once, waited a few hours (think bosses here acctually respawn)...could not get past jousting without reset.

I still wipe a few times on the jousting part..Simply because every boss charged my paladin, making him unmount instant.....then, if they go for the same slave, he unmount VERY fast to. Is there any way to go around this? That they charge the same target?

I'm always just near the instance entrance, so after killing the 3 groups, inevitably there's ALWAYS at least one boss just close to my group. So I just make sure shields are up and spam the attack macro I gave you. It'll be at least one less charge but sometimes more than one are just there. Don't wait to change mount for too long. If first charge is "heavy" start running for fresh mount at around 20%. Just keep one targeted and spam attack and shields while doing so. Sometimes I get as much as 3 unmounted but always manage to do it without wipes. Sometimes I have one dismounted killed but never ever had to get a fresh mount on an alt and did a lot of runs both heroic and normal.

Hope it helped.

Problem is, if i change mount on my paladin, they all 3 automaticly go for my slaves...

Its not like a huge, problem, because i manage it each day now, but still annoying to know that i will prolly wipe 1/2 times if i'm not lucky.

Just making sure, but you are keeping shield up on all guys right? The first time they charge that guy will lose all 3 shields and take massive damage. Just throw shield up as soon as they charge and remember to get it back to 3 stacks of the buff or that guy will be dead by the next charge. I usually switch horses on one guy before all 3 are down. If you are remembering to keep shield up none of your slaves should get dismounted before all bosses are down.
