Holy shit 9k per tick?! Thats just wrong, how often does he put it out? I really dont want another Colossus(elemental guy in Gundrak) type encounter that is super anti-melee.

He has several abilities that you have to run from, so its not just the goop making him so difficult. He does a poison nova that is brutal so you gotta run from that, he also marks a random party member and chases them so yet again you gotta run. He also does some ability that makes the ground under you explode for mucho damage so you guessed it, you run again.Originally Posted by Multibocks
The goop he puts down at regular intervals, its hard to get any dps on him at all using all melee and I'm at a loss as to how i can get passed him using an all melee group.
He makes the collosus in gundrak look like a push over.
OK I see him now from Nileys video. That basically looks impossible for an all melee boxed team. I just dont see it going well.
Update on Ick.
My all paladin group downed him but it took me quite abit longer then Niley's shamans. With the PTR giving me a much lower latency tonight I could strafe out of 3/4 of the goop puddles before they would do any dmg to me (or i would be back peddling while DPSing before the goop dropped to keep me out of it).
I did use bubble and a heal pot but I think i just need more practice with my strafing a group of dudes exactly the same and not get them all over the place.
OMW to the last boss now to see how that goes.

Im impressed, let us know how it goes!
Finally got back on the PTR today.
Ick was still a pita but downed him after resetting him twice. Last boss was surprisingly easy considering how hard Ick was for my 5 pally team. Strafe a couple times, make sure to divine storm every cooldown and throw FoL as art of war procs. He drops a nice tanking sword if you dont raid. Ilevel 232.
I think having some PVP gear helped alot for the extra HP's My rets are sitting around 28k with kings. Quel delar helped too i suppose, nice dps weapon for an hour and half work questing.
Now off to Halls of reflection to see how hard this will be heroic for my melees.
okay, so this last boss is soo hard lol! i wipe on him constantly cause i'm trying to watch raid warnings about who is being "watched" or whatever and stop them from dpsing and then also watch for who gets targetd by the frost wyrm and also watch for the uber power buff you have to find the nearest ice patch to kite boss through, it's so damn crazy!
i saw your door theory, i'll have to try it, but it's pretty tough, i'm not sure how you can see all that and react at once. I'm sure your dps is way higher thna mine too.
overall i love the fights, some are tough as hell for 5 boxers for sure but it's a blast.
Locking this as the instance is now live, please see this thread for info about this dungeon: http://www.dual-boxing.com/showthread.php?t=26937
