WotLK - Utgarde Pinnacle (UP) - Skadi the Ruthless

[mmcookies]

I hadn't posted this before on the off-chance that would get it nerfed,
but now that I've finished farming the Red Sword of Courage, it's awwwwwwright.

Want to avoid being covered in proto-splooge?
Just run up the far right lane of the gauntlet, between the chain linked posts and the big open windows.
You can take as much time as you want without worries of getting shot in the head with the white stuff.



edit: Updated with screenshot. If this isn't clear enough for you, then you're on your own.

Dodging the shit has never been my issue. Having the boss magically heal 50% - 100% of his life when he's almost dead has been mine.

Huh? That's never happened to me before. Does he start evading or something?
For me, I just leave my girls by the last pillar, tank him near the exit where the vrykuls used to spawn, and play taunt yo-yo with him when he whirlwinds.
Skadi was always the easiest part of the encounter for me (just don't forget to drop Poison Cleansing Totems).

Good to know. I'll keep it in mind now that I'm starting to run heroics.

I've experienced this evade issue aswell. I found out you just have to tank him away, from the wall with the guns, and it won't happen.

A screenshot would help. If you have time please post one because I dont know what you are talking about.

For dummies like me, WTB video. Haven't even tried UP yet because of all the horror stories + it doesn't have any gear I really need with my shammies + DK, but I'd like to take my pally there at some point.

I've consistently had him reset after killing my tank... it's kinda nice actually cause my sham can just res the pali and I can go again with less repairs!

or you can just bind a key to strafe left and right as you go up the hallway, which by lvl 80 you should have done by now anyway

[Hachoo]

I bound a key to strafe left and right for my alts at level 80, except I don't use it, ever.

For one, theres almost always a tactic you can use that is far easier than trying to strafe your alts left and right (such as using the corridor in the SS above and not having to strafe at all).

For two, its just a PITA. Strafing my alts takes more effort than just setting /follow and moving my entire team.
