    I'm having an impossible time doing Brann's event - I've gotten the achievement on all my toons by playng them in pugs, but I still need to 5-box Brann so I can do Abuse the ooze on the end boss. I've tried all the tips on the forums here, but I still get overwhelmed.

    It's been a while since I did this one, but what worked for me is as follows:

    1. Put your pally at the bottom of the stairs. Make sure your consecrate gets all of the mobs on the left and right as they come down.
    2. The first part is fairly easy. It only gets tough at the end when the beam is coming down and there are a bunch of mobs running around so save all of your cooldowns, pets and heroism for this part.
    3. Make sure you have a strafe key setup so you can get out of the beam as soon as it hits so you don't lose a guy.
    4. Do everything you can with taunts, consecrate, etc. to keep everyone on the pally. Save LOH, Divine Protection and everything else until the very end. It's only the last 20 seconds or so that get really tough. Save everything for that moment.
    5. Keep your guys spread out so the beam only hits one of you. Also, if you strafe the group make sure to stagger your guys so as one moves out of the beam another does not move into it.
    6. You can heal Brann by the way. Not sure if you knew this, but you could make a quick macro to give him a heal or two at the end so you can make it through.

    If you make sure the pally is on the stairs that is half the battle.

    I posted a movie a long time ago showing it when WoTLK came out. It was a long time ago, but you can see how I did it back then.

    Hmm my paladin is about 1.5k short of your health, so I'll give it a try!

    That was me. I forgot too, but as I kept running the new ToC heroic instance I ended up getting a set for my Druid so I tried the dual spec. Then when trying to do that achievement I remembered he had the set. Definitely makes it a lot easier this way.

    Good luck getting it done. If you need any help with placement or other achievements let me know. I almost done with the second team of 5 for Glory of the Hero. It went much quicker this time lol.

    I need some advice on how to do Split Personality. I have tried hexing the adds, but obviously that breaks when they take damage from the AE. I can't seem to keep up with healing my group and AEing them at the same time. I drop magma totems, then Chain Heal, but they do too much damage, especially with the time stop + blizzard and 2x polymorph. I have frost and fire resist totems up. I usually get the adds to about 1/2 health before I wipe.

    I can see you are using prot-paladin, remember that avenger's shield silences all if they are close to eachother.

    This is how I was able to get it.

    1. If you dps her fast enough she will not throw you around and you can skip the first split.
    2. Run into the room and aggro her, then run out so it resets. Then run your guys into place and be ready for her when she respawns. This gives you a lot more damage time to make sure you are able to dps through the first wave.
    3. When she does split slow it down here. Target one, do some damage, target another one, do some damage and repeat until they are all really low. Save your aoe attacks for when you want to nuke them all at the end so they all die at the same time.
    4. When she comes back she will have very little health. Put all your dots on her because she will throw you around at this point. She will die as she is throwing you around so you only need to kill the splits one time.

    In summary, aggro her and run in to reset, then nuke her to get through the first split, then slow it down and kill the adds slowly to make sure they all get really low health and then aoe blast them all. When she comes back apply dots and hit her with your instants as you are being thrown around she will die before splitting again.

    I had not thought of that, but I'm not sure how much it will help. The silence only lasts a few seconds and the cooldown is a while. If they had different names, I could make macros to hex and/or Wind Shear them, but since they have the same name, I have to individually target on each window if I want to hex / poly them separately.
