How to Utgarde Keep

[Hancock]

Please post stats use to do this instances while duel-boxing. The following comment has been Coped from wowhead.

The first boss, Prince Keleseth fires off shadowbolts, and has and ability that will encase a random person in a block of ice, dealing 400 damage per tick, simple enough to heal through. He also summons skeletons that can be killed very quickly, then shortly after they die, they ress themselves and can be killed again. We killed him very quickly.


The second boss was Skarvald the Constructor and Dalronn the Controller. Easy peasy, Skarvald randomly charged, Dalronn chain casts Shadowbolt. When one died, he ressed as a 'black spirit' and couldnt be targetted, but the other one was nearly dead anyway, and as soon as the second one dies, you've won! Huzzah!


The last boss (Ingvar the Plunderer) was very hard.

Basically, he hits hard, has an aoe roar that does Shadow damage and interrupts spells being cast (with an 8 second silence) and a stackable debuff that increases Shadow damage taken by 5%, and stacks up to 50 times >_<

When he dies, he gets ressurected, and gains an upgraded version of his major attack which now does this: Deals 17500 to 22500 Shadow damage to all enemies within a 10 yard cone in front of the caster. In addition, deals 1750 to 2250 Shadow damage to all enemies, knocking them down. 3 sec cast, 2 sec cooldown.

Basically, you have to tank him away from the rest of your party, with his back to them, and as soon as you see him casting - the tank has to get the hell out of there (especially in phase 2) - or you run the risk of taking up to 23000 shadow damage in one hit. A few times he one shot our tank and off tank.

Anyone tried with 5 shamans?

Im currently Strongly wondering if i should drop 1 shaman and go with my warrior or paladin!

[Lyonheart]

I wiped on him until I was all red.. hes hard. Might be easier at 71.. i hope.. I know its a timing thing with his roar.. i could not get it right. Ill try again at 71.

All the other bosses in the instance are pretty cake walk.

For the last boss, spread your guys out around the columns before pulling. Make sure you are within casting range on all of them.
Then Drop your normal totems, For this fight I went 5 healing stream, 4 searing 1 wrath, 1 woa 4 grounding 1 stoneskin and w/e else was on my earth.
Start casting, Put Flame shock on him right away after the LB/CL volley on pull. Put your gifts on the guy he runs to, spam heal him to top him off really quick then start dps'n like crazy.
If he starts casting his frontal cone damage ability "smash". Run all shamans forward, let it finish, then just move them back.

After you kill him first time, top everyone off, drop your elementals, run away so you won't be in front of him for his smash, pop heroism trinkets and go to town.
Kill him first time without any deaths and get to his rez with all your cd's up and your golden.

Took some time and practice with the coordination, but worked out well.
As reference I have about 9k hp, 1300sp 25% crit, 10% haste on the shamans

Godnf8 this might sound stupid but can you try him without using the dranei heal? I have orcs and unfortunately I don't have a hot. How much healing does the first phase take? (ie could one toon spamming lesser heals be enough to keep him up).

During the 2nd phase do you down him fast enough that your elementals don't need heals at all?

I hate this instance already.

I'm sure you can do it without the draenai heals, really the healing you have to do is lesser healing wave on all the toons for the guy that's being focused by the boss, but chain heals for any aoe damage that you took.
In between the heals toss a chain lightning flame shock. Can't wait for lava burst =p. But he only has 120k life, so it shouldn't take you more then 30 seconds to knock him down. 2nd phase is cake with all cooldowns and heroism/bloodlust

Oh, and if he swaps targets, toss and extra lightning bolt in there somewhere while he's running.

I've had a ton of issues in utgarde keep so far...

Killing the protodrake + handler was really tough, and to kill the 2 handler + protodrake I had to use ele mastery, an earth elemental, and trinket and still almost died.

First boss I've wiped on twice, first time i accidentally pulled the mobs and they killed me, second time i pulled them on purpose, killed 2 of them and then died. Now I'm about to pull the other two and hopefully be able to kill the boss before I leave this instance for awhile. This is with 5 shamans...mostly quest greens/blues from BC except HH rings, SSO exalted shield, and Amulet from SSO exalted (but not exalted with scryers or aldor).

Killed Ingvar with four shamans and a holy pallie. Just took some good sense of timing and tossing earth elementals at the right time.
