grrr fire elementals did great, but he dropped desecration on my shaman right before ghoul explode =(

[Multibocks]

Yes he s dead!

edit: sorry didnt mean to give the blow by blow, but that was one of the hardest bosses I ever 5 manned =)

What i cant understand : the huge difference (at least for me) between 3 champions WITH rogue and 3 champions WITHOUT him.

Same thing here !!!

When I'm in front of the rogue AND the chaman healer... the only possible choise is ti burn ALL my CDs ... Earth elem + trinkets along with Heroism ... and burst the heal first...

I just down'em ... heal + mage + hunt that was very nice & easy ...

here's a trick for you. If you get a hard combo (like warrior, healer, rogue) just leave the instance and reset. Even if it's heroic, you'll still get a different combo when you come back in. I've done it 2 times and each time i went from the hardest (warrior, healer, rogue) to easiest (healer, hunter, mage).

I found that out last night. I wish I'd known that trick *before I was able to consistently beat groups containing Colosos ...

But then last night, I also wiped on Paletress, whom I've killed before, over and over. It's my first complete disaster of a ToC in awhile. Just couldn't get the Memory down below half or so. Oh well, hopefully tonight I'll get Eadric.

I hate paletress, total nemisis. I've been running without shammies so no way to avoid the fear bombs and also my mage is the only one who can remove the hot so if mage dies early, it's absolutely impossible because the hot heals for so much you can't out dps it.
I've been trying to gear up my new pally tank and swap him in for my current DK tank so i've actually been running this a lot lately with 2 healers and it takes longer, but it's easier I think.

I out dps'd the HoT =) GOGO shaman powa!

Do you not have a dispeller? I would either make a macro for dispelling OR find a way to integrate it into your dps button. Not sure how to do that though as it will make a /click sequence hang if there is nothing to dispell.

Does it reset that goddamn jousting crap? The thing I hate most about it? You have to stand there with your dick in your hand for like 10mins while they announce the damn gladiators. Wish there was a F'ing fast-forward button. Pardon my french.

Took this guy out on second try today. I would recommend forgetting the elementals as they make it difficult to see what the golems are doing. I put them up for first fight and when I strafed after phase 2 was over I wasnt far enough away as the elementals were hiding a few. Ended up wiping on p3 with 20k health, but that was with only 3 shaman. Second go around I didnt bother dropping earth elementals and just went balls to the wall dps until phase 3 and then did 2 dps spells 1 chain heal until dead. Still lost a few shaman, but I'm getting better!

Ok someone posted similar idea about this first tip, but I will explain what I do and maybe it will help some of you. For the 3 waves of Champs ( before the 3 grand champs ) i pre target left one with my tank and 2 of my shaman. I then target the center one with a shaman and the 3rd with the last sham. I then use the shield breaker, default #2 button, to pull the group. This removes the shield on all of them. Once they are on my group I use my macro for spamming 1 and 2 button. It also spreads out the agro and i never have to switch mounts, most the time, until I have dismounted one of the Grand Champions.

Another tip for phase 2 of black Knight, this has been said a few times but to clairify. KILL THE ADDS.. no need to burn him down.. focus all your effort in phase 2 on gathering the adds with your tank and kill them, ignore ( but keep agro ) the BK until all adds are dead. Makes phase2 easy mode as well. I use fire elementals on that phase. He never spawns another army, and focusing on him can have you lose track of an exploding ghoul. Kill those bastards first, then hes easy tank and spank!

Next tip>> Black knight Phase 3. I have found out that that ae spell he cast in this phase is DEADLY if you are at range! However! It is WEAK in melee range! keep your toons at range for phase one and two. then either use interact with target or your follow button/macro and group right up on him for the final phase. EASY MODE!

Hope this helps some of you that have not beat the BK yet!
