When did you do the Headless Horseman?

[bartholomeo]

Just killed him 5x.
I'd say he's easier then Coren from brewfest.

The items we got from direbrew are alot better imo. The tankard made some nice cash on ah this week, i'd hoped something like that dropped again from the HH. ahwell ... now the mount-farming can begin

Ok, so if your a noob like me and you fail at killing him, you lose your attempt for that character? The daily quest is to summon him. it doesn't matter if you kill him or not, it appears you don't get to summons him again if you wipe. Is this correct? or is there something I am missing? This really stinks, Ive already blown 2 attempts trying to get my healing lined out, I am a little gunshy to use my last 2 attempts.

Exactly.
I went through this last year because I was undergeared, and this year with Coren because of server stability issues (hiLARious when your tank and 2 DPS disconnect, leaving 1 ranged DPS and a healer)

[Diwa]

Yup it's easier than Coren. We had a guild run last night and after 40+ tries we saw all the loots. 1 Mount, 1 Helmet, 1 Sword and tons of rings.

Hows it look for a group of lvl 75's? Wipefest or doable?

(Paladin, priest and 3 locks)

[Mooni]

I'm going to go ahead and say wipefest, Vel.
Unless you bring an 80 to handle the tankin'. But even one Conflag can kill you all at 75 if you're bunched up.

[Marious]

Bah he was so easy... did not see the blade drop or the mount, 12 summons no mount :*( tomorrow I only get 8 summons

Got all the rings to drop and the helm for the achievement, 1 squashling, main already had it from last year, so just hoping I can get mount drop in the whole time I am doing it.

[Siaea]

Anyone done it with a 5 shammy group? I could never down him last year with just my shammies. They were also pretty poorly geared at 70, and badge geared now.

[Mooni]

One or two runs last night were with no healer, but that was still 4 80s (1-2 tanks depending)
But the opposite of no-healer, no-tank? I'm not sure. His body-with-head versions only have 126k, but his whirlwind could be a beeyotch to deal with.
If I were doing it I'd probably spread out in an X (like we do with Black Knight) and make sure to have healy macros that cover each and every shaman, by name.

Edit: But even better, just exploit some tank for labor and summons, then swap your one shaman out. 6 summinz is better than your own summon limit.
