WotLK - Trial of the Champion - (ToC)

[Fuzzyboy]

What worked for me on heroic:

The joust

Phase 1: I used the tactic of bunching up the slaves, then spamming 1 + 2. I did have a macro for it though and struggled for a bit until I made a /click macro which clicked in this order: 2, 1, 4 - I bound it to mousewheeldown and it was actually fairly easy.

I actually found it better not to be up against the wall, since that would obscure the vision on my slave clients.

Phase 2: Blew the heroism at beginning of fight and burned down shaman asap, while moving out of the poison when needed. Trickiest phase imo. Once shaman was dead, I took poison-thrower next, but at that point it was fairly easy - just tank and spank and strafe out of the poison.

Eradric (or whatever he's called)

He's supposed to be the easiest of 2nd bosses - I didn't have much trouble, killed him in one shot. The three first waves are tank and spank - just kill the healers first. After that, spread out, heal whoever he hammers and hit your turn key at the light, and back right after.

The Black Knight

Phase one: Kill the ghoul when it spawns, the tank and spank.

Phase two: I popped heroism (had to wait a bit for it to cool down) then burned. Once the ghouls started running, I just walked forward with the slaves (they were lined up against the wall, spread out.

Phase three: AE heal and tank and spank.

Why did you walk forward with your slaves? Could you explain this phase more throughly?

Well, my DBM said to move (i had killed TBK for that phase when I started moving) - and forward was the only way, so I just ran like a headless chicken :P They didnt get hurt though - I'm not sure if it was because of the running or because they just didn't explode because the knight was dead (in that phase).

I officially hate this instance for being a loot hog. It drops caster gear for my melee group, and melee gear for my caster group. I try to mix-and-match based on who need what, and it just doesn't drop anything I even need. Its like the Black night is just taunting me with his "A waste of a Chest" because that's what it feels like every time I open one of the things.

I totally agree with this, the only things that have dropped are the weapons and the trinkets. there is absolutely nothing in this instance worth going here for on my main team and they are the only ones that can take him down. if I bring in one lowbie I usually can't take him down only to find it didn't drop a single thing I can use and I have a 100g/toon repair bill. I think they weight the drops to what you don't need. I can' t tell you much much attack power leather dropped until the day I started bringing a druid along. I haven't seen attack power leather since then. It would have been faster to just do the heroics and buy the gear with badges. I always come away from this instance pissed.

I know what you are talking about. 32 heroic runs so far, only 3 cloaks, 2 rings and 2 spelldaggers. SUCKS.
