WotLK - Trial of the Champion - (ToC)

Give it a few seconds before you start the dps. Use holy wrath..might be what you meant? If you lose an add taunt it back and dps it down. I kill all the ghouls before I kill him in phase 2 that way I dont have to deal with any exploding. He doesn't really do much damage in phase 2 if you focus on keeping the adds aggro instead of dpsing it down. Also spread out your guys so only 1 or 2 take the minimal aoe damage.

I will try again but nothing I could do would keep the mobs on my tank. If they dont run for dps they run for my healer. My tank takes a ton of damage to that guy. I think the bastards diseases are removing my druids hots too. That may be part of the reason why I am almost about to die constantly.

On normal I just tranquility and arcane explosion the mobs. On heroic the mobs have 30k+ health so arcane explosion will not kill them fast enough. If I could get mouse broadcasting to work I could blizzard x 3 but I use keyclone and mouse broadcasting is crap.

Finally cleared it after 50 tries....ugh. It was phase 2/3 of the Black Knight that has been my problem. I run a mixed team (heroic and AH gear only, never been to Nax or Ulduar) and the only way I managed to reach the third phase and finally win is by just focusing on DPSing the BK and healing my butt off using both AOE heals (glyphed Holy Nova) and healing my tank with my priest.

Moved out of the AOE as best I could (had trouble with this too). Used my trees on my boomkin and my fire elemental when it was available just before phase 2 as well. It will most likley take several attempts on my next try as well, but at least I have a workable strategy now.

Also, I am not sure if it was mentioned or not, in the first part with the mounted combat I had to dismount once I dismounted and trampled all the champions. Lol, I didn't know that I had to do that and was wondering wth was going on as I trampled them forever....thought it was bugged.

Thanks for all the tips, helped me a lot.

I killed him in the end with 4 fire elementals and ghouls army. I killed all the ghouls in phase 2 which made the kill possible for me. Once I succeed in killing them its an easy fight.

1DK and 4 shamans 1 resto is my setup.

Thanks for the great tips.

3 Times down so far, got a partial strat down that seems to work.

I put my group on wall, 3 shaman(ele), 1 warlock (my wife), and prot paladin out in front of them. drop grounding 3 healing stream and group is spread.

Hard dps first phase, I taunt the ghoul when he runs to my group but i dont kill him and just focus on boss. I thunderstorm about halfway through. Soon as hes down, i run towards them and chain heal prot tank, all the extra bounces to group to heal them.

2nd phase, i will either drop earth ele, or fire ele (if i wipe first time). Hard dps on boss, ignoring adds and aoe crap on ground. When adds are about 30% I blow thunderstorm and bloodlust, finish burning boss. My tank is running towards my group at this point and they are just pew pewing, im trying to get back into range to /follow them out of the aoe shit on ground.

Last phase is straight burn, I stack up on tank.. pop all cooldowns divine sac / shield and just burn.

I have heroic on farm! The key for me was, just as another poster pointed out, killing as many of the ghouls in the second phase and coming into the 3rd with everyone alive. Last two clears I have had zero deaths. Still no http://db.mmo-champion.com/i/47569/spectral-kris/ yet though! I did get http://db.mmo-champion.com/i/47509/mariels-sorrow/ for my healer and even that would be an upgrade for my eles ( they are still using titiansteel maces )

Today has been the second time that my toons did not get dismounted (P2 of the first encounter) even I had the three champs down and a char standing on top of each of them. They were still trying to get on a horse even all of them being trampled.

Has anyone ever had the same problem?

[Niley]

well, today i decided to go into this heroic, and clear it. After everyone was telling how hard this is etc etc(i never did this instance before), i decided to flask all pumped and ready to rock....
I one shotted first boss, I one shotted that girl that's 2nd, and 3 shotted last boss, was pretty disappointed with difficulty level there.
And i also got bad lewts lol

[Raskaz]

Tbh with your gear I am not suprised that you steamrolled those bosses but for those who are not in that position gear wise the instance can be quite tough.

[Greythan]

was pretty disappointed with difficulty level there

Wow, way to take a giant crap on all of us struggling here. Glad you're uber.

[Dorffo]

I doubt Niley was trying to come across like that... Magister's Terrace in BC was almost exactly the same: Quite difficult for heroic-only geared toons but faceroll easy with tier 5/6 gear. For what its worth I went in all flasked up the first time with the same mentality and was as bit dissapointed as well. Thats not a comment on skill of other posters here obviously, but it does highlight the difference that gear makes.
