Glory of the Hero - tips'n'tricks

[Alemi]

I found other achievements harder than less-rabi - but I did cheat and respec a shaman just for the 1 second reduction on wind shock to keep up with his recast, which made it pretty easy. Occulus ones are pretty easy, with the exception of Make It Count.

Brann event and Make it Count are looking to be my main roadblocks at this point - did Herald V last night and finished the fight at 2:03 X(

Brann event isn't bad at all, once I learned to stop trying to kill stuff on phase 3. Just go for survival, hold the mobs, and wait for the defenses to kill them all.

so when can we get a melee boxers view on the tips and tricks lol, i'm finding it VERY difficult to finish off many heroics/acheivements as a melee boxer haha... perhaps its my lackluster dps

Ok, need some strategies for getting the Emerald Void and Ruby Void. I was just able to kill eregos using 1 red and 4 green. I tried the 5 Amber strategy but keep dying, guess i'm doing something wrong.

Edit: Has deminishing returns for Time Stop always been there? I keep getting different answers from people.

I imagine you know how the rotation works but just incase you dont, you can do it with 1 or 2 buttons dependong what passing program you use. Anyways you want 1 button press to cause 2 drakes to shock lance, 3 drakes to temporal rift, and the 2nd button press to flip that .. so 2 temportal rift 3 shock lance. It's all about the timing, usually the first volley doesnt cause any debuffs due to server lag, but you just watch his debuff's and wait until you see your dmg boost debuff on him and make sure your wait until it stacks as well. The 2nd thing that is highly important is keeping him stunned all the time, I do mean all the time. If you do your dps rotation right this is possible. Again you have to watch his debuff's because timestop causes a 10 sec debuff on the boss ( goes down with DR so the 2nd one is like 6, third one is like 3 ) but as soon as you see time stop is wearing off, hit another one ... keep him perma stunned. By the time you go through 3 stun's you should have knocked off so much hp that he is going to phase out and you simply do a 180 and run away. During the phase shift you want to pan around and watch the little arcane dudes, the 2nd they blow up do another 180 and get back in range of Eregos as fast as possible and lay another stun on him and its pretty much rinse and repeat.



This is how I always do this fight except when I had to get amber void and frankly, its a lot easier once you get it down this way. Also this is how I did it for "Make it Count".



Biggest things are

1) perfect that dps rotation, make sure your debuffs are stacking before you toss another volley ( except the first volley due to lag )

2) keep him perma stunned, watch the stun debuffs

3) get back in range of him asap after a phase shift

Can we get this sticky'd ?

[Multibocks]

Seriously!

For me, I need some help: The first boss in OK I cannot get that achievement. I tried dropping two earth elementals and going to town on the boss in another room. Soon as the adds spawn he goes immune so I figure Im not far enough away, can someone describe where I should tank him at? I'm best with pictures =)

edit: also another one thats a problem is Intense Cold. I cant cleanse all 5 of use before it stacks to 3 on the debuff. What I am wondering is: Since this is an individual achievement (one person can get it while rest of group fails to stop stack): Can I just leave one of my shaman outside of the area where you fight her and avoid the AE for the achievement? That way it will just take 5 days of rotating everyone (obviously tank has to stay and cleanse himself) Anyone know for sure? Watch I bet the AE is zone wide. /cry

We did it by pulling the boss to the stairs (the larger area right before the boss). 1 shaman + earth ele grabbed the adds in the doorway to the boss room. Just burned him down, no heals required.

There are lots of stairs in this zone and there are two ways to get to this boss. I have been pulling the boss to the stairs on the right pathway (the stairs leading down into the area before his room) and he still goes immune with 2 elementals occupying the guardians. Does a shaman have to sit with the elementals for some reason?
