WotLK - Trial of the Champion - (ToC)

[Baltyre]

I have one "multiusage macro" button on each toons and a lot of buttons not bind on my main.
Each button use librpc :

And when i click on a button on my main, that edit the "multiusage macro" button on each toon for the action i want. (Like, equip lance)

Really helping when you don't want to bind something you don't use in combat.

On Eadric, it's not necessary to eat his blinding attack. Just turn the party around in place. He doesn't hit hard enough to really inconvenience the tank while she's facing the wrong direction. With warlocks you can use the turning-around time to refresh your DoTs.

I have to chime in that killing the ghouls on BK phase 2 is definitely the way to go. I cleared this phase once or twice by just taunting like a maniac, but oh god, it's so much easier to AOE the buggers down. I find that if I keep spamming Curse of Corruption until all ghouls are dead, they don't last long enough to get through a corpse explosion. Well, I still don't have the achievement so I must be getting hit somewhere, but I don't notice the damage so it must be just one or two ghouls that manage to explode.

I have 2 vehicle macros:

/assist brik

/follow brik

Then just literally button smash 1, 2, and 4 non-stop together

Grats, you are a jousting champion. It really is a silly system.

Target one on your main, assist, then smash 1,2,4 - this will break their shields when they are at range, hit them when they're close, and keep shield up on you. Rinse and repeat. If the char they are focusing gets dismounted, just jump on a new mount (Fight against a wall near new mounts). This is literally all I do. No finesse, no nothing. Target one, assist, smash 1,2,4. Repeat.

Do you keep your 4 slaves up against a wall and just run around on your leader or do you always keep your slaves on follow the whole time?

Not that its very hard to begin with lol but anyways some quick strats.

Boss 1) This is mounted combat but its increadibly simple, just have your 4 followers stand in front of the dude you want to kill while riding figure 8s around it with your main keeping its shield down. Also make sure you keep all of your shields up, remember you can thrust and charge shields at the same time, seperate cd's. Also make sure your watch each toons mounts hp, if it gets low simply alt tab to that screen .. ride over and get a new mount .. takes almost no time.

Surprisingly, this part didn't end up being "incredibly simple"... and I'm on normal.

The mount combat is clunky and irritating, alts break follow every time you charge, and it's generally just a lot fo "out of range", "too close" error message spam on all 5 clients. Try circling, figure 8 patterns, etc.

I managed to get to the 3 elites, killed 3 of them, but it takes so long to kill them, they just walk over and mount up again really hard to keep them stunned when all my alts are dying or being chain stunned trying to get new mounts.

Any suggestions?

Well I tried killing the Black Knight on heroic at least 20 times. Survived past phase 2 about 5 times, but with 1 or 2 guys. Most of the time my slaves just get owned by the ghouls.

I tried both just DPSing the boss with some strafing or trying to AOE the ghouls. AOE didn't work so well for me. Thunderstorm appeared to blast them back for me, maybe not the exploding ones though?

Blech...well, hopefully I will figure it out tomorrow. Of course, now I got to manage to survive the other 2 bosses again...eeep!

For the jousting I basically did what Jimbob posted. Of course, I wiped after I got them all down...but meh, I don't care, I just zoned back in and took care of business (heh, well, took me a few tries). I downed the shaman first. I probably should have taken the caster second, but didn't. She was pretty easy on her own.
Second boss I had nfi what was going on, lol. I finally realized there were a bunch of mobs I had to kill after killing the first three and accidentally aggro'ing a second set. Priest first, monk last. The final boss I just tanked/spanked. He blinded/feared me etc... but I just hit my follow macro and it wasn't a real problem (at least this one time, we'll see tomorrow).

Slaves are backs against the wall at all times. You can move your main to break shields, or move the target into melee range of your guys, and to 'trample' fallen champions. But the slaves just sit against the wall, so that way there are never any facing issues.

wow this argent confessor on heroic is a real bitch it be kewl if she summoned the mob and stopped spamming my shamans for 6k i have to heal so much i cant even dps then fears just screw me totaly. anyone done this on heroic got some pointers?

Yea i cant get her down most ive done was got mob she summons to 45% thats ignoring healing and just trying to kill him. she can be interuped but casts so fast its nearly impossible.

Got Heroic Black Knight down last night after two trips to repair (i'm stubborn!)

The first two phases pretty much come down to being able to burn the boss fast enough to make the ghouls a non-issue (then lots of strafing out of explosions)

The third phase is where I was dieing for an hour+ He'd go all ghosty and proceed to just own the team. On the win I popped Elementals, bloodlust, Diving shield, Divine Sacrifice and went through 3 of 4 reincarnations... but he died! Snagged a main hand spelldmg and neck upgrade for one of the sham.

Gonna go back today with some resto-spec goodness and see if I can just grind him dowm through his AE.

Need more updates ON HEROIC MODE if we can. I started another thread for normal.

I haven't tried heroic yet, but my first run through normal was far from trivial. Let's keep the HEROIC strats flowing in this thread!
