Video of my last Timed Heroic Strat run to get a Bronze Drake

[puppychow]

they drop, they can't be DE'd, you can loot them but you can't use them. You still get an extra badge. I actually sold loot off Malganis last night, I cleared up to him with 2 mins left and just ported my mage to dalaran, spammed in trade Malganis loot, and got a buyer in a few minutes. I charged 50g for the right to enter my instance and 400g if the buyer wanted the epic item off Malganis (fortunately the tank shield dropped which is exactly what he wanted).

I might do this for other instances too, just sell loot off final bosses, almost all of them are 4 mannable. Could do bronze drake, but I am always worried that something will go wrong and I wont make the timer and I will look stupid (lol).

I only run CoT now when its the daily, and rarely try to make the timer anymore (have had 5 drakes for a few weeks now), its a lot more fun just screwing around and exploring the little buildings while the timer counts down (lol). I've also 4 manned it twice now with enough time to kill the drake, so you can definitely do that for alts/friends.

Hehe I think I'll do that Will have to try it with a friend first and if that works I will try to sell drake runs for 800-1000g.

800-1000g? D:

Damn, I ask 500g for a timed oc boost for achievement (I do require the fifth to have done oculus). Maybe I should change my price. :P

[Hachoo]

It depends on your server economy. Also the OC achievement is just an achievement, no? Timed Strat is an achievement plus a drake which otherwise would cost 1600g to buy from wyrmrest accord (red one), so I think 800-1000g is a fair price.

Thanks for sharing the vid, it has helped me get a better idea of why my attempts were horrible.

Can you elaborate a bit on your healing setup? It looked like you would hit 4xHealing Wave as needed?

It also seemed at points on trash that the shammies sometimes had different targets, are you actually targeting per shammy or was that just an accidently "target, oops wrong target, retarget" and during that one of the shammies got a cast in on the wrong mob?

Very fair price. As you know, the wyrmrest accord one requires exalted reputation in addition to the 1600g. :-)

As far as healing yes I would hit a 4x lesser healing wave, but since it doesn't /stopcasting, it will start casting the lesser healing wave for each shaman at the end of their current cast. This makes it possible sometimes to just do 2 or 3 if I don't need all 4.

The shamans all had the same target each time. Part of the confusion is the 3x searing totems I always drop - it looks sort of like lava burst when they fire at random targets, and sometimes the graphic for chain lightning looks like its hitting a different mob first when actually its hitting that mob 2nd or 3rd

I have added a copy of the video that is much smaller (Compressed with DivX) and dubbed over with my own selection of songs instead of the regular WoW audio:

Just wow. You are my hero. After seeing that video I truely believe I can do it now too. I need 4 of those drakes and will not rest till I have them or the timer resets daily :thumbup:

Like after I saw Karate Kid the first time I thought I could do karate too :P

[TheShox]

Thanks for the video and walk through. After work or raiding, this is what I try and do each evening. So far I have obtained three. Failed twice.
