Cata - Blackrock Caverns

[Kalros]

Dont think anyone said CC would be needed on normals, I know I didnt. Lets see how you handle heroics

Wow, smartass comments already. Well I DID use crowd control in the beginning until I realized it wasnt necessary. I have Sheep, Hex and Bind Elemental macros all set up and ready to go. I've done my research, I know heroics are going to need it. Thanks for trying to bring me down though, thats exactly what I wanted today.

Keep your tank geared and you can brute force cata like wotlk... Keep it up^^

Unable to down third boss with 4 DK's and 1 Paladin atm.

Too difficult to manage moving him back and forth through the forge as the pulsing aoe just melts my team in seconds.

I just strafed his butt through the fire, didn't stand still at all cause that aoe hurts like a mother. Read the guide about five stacks but I basically just ran through after the first two wipes on him. Every time the lava wall comes through the grate, I ran back to the other side so he crossed it again. I could see it sucking with just a pally and four dks though, I run with shammies and have one set up as dedicated healer for this new stuff. I did have a problem where he wouldn't run out of the fire once because of the weird hit boxes but I backed up to the wall of fire and he came with me.

Congrats on your dungeon clear.

Do you think we can do the second boss the intended way on héroic ?
How can we quickly block the beam ? And switch between toons ? Maybe with interact with target ?

[balderrdash]

I plan on putting a shaman on each beam and just strafing in and out at seventy stacks or so, they are both facing in towards the boss you can strafe them both the same way in, then out. Placing I'll do manually since aiming them sideways before the pull would be a pain in the butt. Man you don't want to let those adds get that shadow whatever cast off, it one shot one of my guys when I missed the wind shear. On heroic it might be worth macroing a target switch/counterspell for that alone so you don't have to find the one casting it each time when DBM shouts the warning.

Have your melee stay by your paladin, play from your tank point of view... drag him in and right back out so he only has 1 or 2 debuffs on him so you take minimal aoe dmg. The longer he stays in there the more dmg your group takes. Just dance him in and out until you can handle more dmg or you get better gear.

I am stuck on the last boss with dk + 4 rets.

There were bunch of tauren casters around the last boss + 2 adds. Can those tauren casters be pulled without aggroing the boss ? I think I need to convert one to holy.

Hm, no wonder,

this is really killing my team

Thunderclap: Inflicts 11250 to 12750 Nature damage to nearby enemies, slowing their movement speed by 50% for 8 sec. Instant.


edit: I think melee probably need level 81 to deal with this. as that 1 level will add 10k hp

If you pull this off, you should video it!

Being able to grab the boss, switch to a toon to manually place them, then switch to another toon to place them, then back to the tank... man. Hats off.

The 2nd boss is hit or miss for me. I either get lucky and not one-shotted, or I eat a wipe.
