Jousting and You: The unbelievably simple guide

[jimbobobb]

For the life of me I honestly have no idea why people are having so much trouble with this, so here it is. disclaimer: this is not the 'best' way to do this, this is not optimal. This is button smashing at it's finest, literally rolling your hammy fist across the keyboard like you were some kind of fat fingered idiot. And it's easily enough to do any kind of jousting, heroic or normal. I have never failed with this method in regular (ran it 3 times yesterday and 7 today trying for that stupid trinket), and I have never failed in heroic (once yesterday once today) besides dieing once between the two parts. There is NO FINESSE OR SPECIAL TIMING OR TRICKS HERE. LITERALLY SMASH THE BUTTONS.

PREREQUISITES:
Download Bartender, or Macaroon, or whatever

Make two buttons for all your toons and bind them to some keys

button one:

/assist <main>

button two'

/follow <main>



Zone into Trial of the Champions
buff up.
put your guys on horsies. There is a big wooden door in the side of the room. DO NOT take the 3 horsies there. That is where you will set up for the fight, and you want those horsies in case your horsie dies. (It's pronounced horseeee)

Talk to the guy in the middle

move your guys over next to the big wooden door (this is where the champions will come out of). Put your slaves between two fresh horsies, backs to the wall Don't ever move them. Wait forever for the dialogue to finish. When tirion fordring says 'begin', 3 sets of easy mobs will move into the middle. If you're back against the wall they will not aggro you. Get 3 stacks of shield up on all your guys (hit 4 3 times)Run up with your main (the rest are still backs against the wall) and target one. hit your assist key. Now all your slaves should be targetting that one. CHANGE YOUR TARGET ON YOUR MAIN. Smash button 2. You have now hit the shield off that guy. Change to the third one (the one your slaves are not targetting) and hit 2 again. In this way all their shields will be down when they get to your slaves, as your slaves will take off the first guys' shield when you run them back to the group. Run back to your slaves and START SMASHING THE 1, 2, and 4 KEYS. ALL TOGETHER. SMASH SMASH SMASH. When one dies, target another, hit your assist key, and SMASH THE 1, 2, and 4 KEYS. ALL TOGETHER. SMASH SMASH SMASH. Repeat. Do this for the next group of 3.

Ok, you have killed the first two sets of 3 easy guys. Your main guy had all the aggro, so his horse is at maybe half life, prob a bit more. Run over and get him a new horse. There is no time between killing the 3rd set of 3 easy guys and the champions so just go ahead and do it now.

Pull the last set of 3 easy guys just like you did the first two. Smash smash smash.

THE CHAMPIONS

As they head over, target one. doesn't matter which. hit assist, and SMASH YOUR BUTTONS 1, 2, 4 SMASH SMASH SMASH. You can move around with your main, but bring whichever you have focused to your slaves for meleeing, and can move your main out a bit to break their shields. Your main will probably lose his horse sometime. Good thing you are standing next to two fresh ones, right? When the champion goes down, target a new champion and SMASH SMASH SMASH. Run your main over the one champion that fell over every now and again - this 'tramples' them and doesn't let them get on a new horse. Repeat for the second and third champion. If you lose another horse, hop on the one right next to you again. If a champion gets back up on a horse, just focus them again and get them down quick. They get back on at something like 20% life only anyway. Congratulations, now they are all dismounted. Switch to your basic tank and spank. If you die between the dismounting, and the tank and spank, don't worry when you run back they're dismounted and you just smash them into the ground. If you have the undead guy he does a poison vial throw that puts a green puddle on the ground - don't stand in it. None of the others have done anything that I have to worry about at all.

TIPS AND TRICKS

There are none. Don't move your slaves. Put them against the wall. Smash on the numbers 1,2,4 like a retard. Don't hit the number 3.
