Pit of Saron (PTR - Heroic)

[Niley]

I have my whole team on the u.s. ptr right now, the disconnects are terrible, i havent stayed on for more than about 4 minutes.
Slowly i managed to get to first boss, 4 man it, since one shaman cant connect for some reason.
From what I saw in two pulls that lasted maybe 30seconds, with really bad lag and fps around 5

-Has 612k hp

-he has a stacking debuff(increases frost damage taken), not sure how to get rid of it, i think it might be based on distance to the boss, not sure. I will have that figured out if servers permit

--boss has pulsing frost aura(edit:seems like thats whats stacking the debuff), does decent aoe damage, affected by stacking debuff.
-there is adds, attacking adds aggros the boss, they are part of the encounter(6 or 7)

- He throws huge boulder at one person, you need to move...fast

Ive got him to 26% with 4 toons, and without having good understanding of whats going on, i didn't use any premades, just my own toons, premades are very well geared(but where is the fun in using fully geared toon).
Im pretty sure that in 1-2 more pulls, without having 5 fps, and with full team i can get it

^thats just the first boss, second boss is bugged, and you can solo it atm


edit:
Got him, just healed through the damage, he should be a cake with 5 man team.(had to 4 man him)




ps. My tank is pretty geared, has over 50k hp party buffed, there is constant aoe damage, so not only tank but your team should have decent hp(i have some pvp pieces).

edit 1. You guys are going to love plagueborn horror trash :P




boss no 2 down, just strafe, really easy. I didnt even heal(they should buff him)



Boss no 3.
Epic! lots of fun!
First you chase the boss up to the top of the hill, not to spoil this, but how does hodirs falling ice wit gauntlet sound? thats right, you run through a cave, which is a gauntlet, and there is ice falling all over, fun!

Now for the actual boss, seems hard, lots of stuff going on.
-Starts the fight mounted on top of his frostwyrm, wyrm has 500+k hp, just need to attack the wyrm until about 60%, than the rider dismounts. Rider has 1 mil hp.
-Summons add
-Does ton of damage
-Wyrm does frost spikes on the ground need to move
-run back sucks

That's all i know so far, i think i will need my full team to do this, im missing my best geared dps.


edit. I dc'ed and cant get back in, tried for long time, and had no luck
tyvm blizzard for resetting the instance after i got one pull on last boss, maybe i will have more luck tomorrow.
another edit. Last boss down, ss below

Great man! Really loved reading all of it! Just copied all my characters myself to Naralex (PvP) EU myself.

May i ask, did you notice if the gauntlet dmg was affected by frost resistance? I can see this gauntlet ruining multibox already...Hoping not tho

I took zero damage from the falling ice, its really easy to avoid, i wouldnt worry too much about it, packs before the gauntlet can be brutal thought.
I will try to run some more after i get back from work, I'm loving the final boss, i want moreeeee!

I was one of the first to get my toons transfered, but have not been able to keep a level 80 logged in for more than 1 minute, if at all. ( premades nor copied ) I can make level 1 of any race and stay on for a longtime. I am DIEING to check this place out hehe!

[Volch0k]

I've been logged in for over 30 minutes now, no problems so far..only with my main tho.

Can't seem to find the entrance to 5 man, where the fuck is it? Only like 5 people logged on EU ptrs yet o.O

Edit: Found it. Gonna take some time to make my macro's etc later tonight

I'm not sure how the PTR works, but are the bosses dropping loot and/or badges?

no loot or badges.

the falling ice does 4k damage and knockback

edit. last boss down.

Last Boss:
I concur on the loads of damage on the last boss, never got him down. I did clear the other two with out much effort. The 5 packs leading to the cave were annoying mainly due to the fact that they are spread out so much the most you can taunt/shield on a pull is 2, then I waited to pull the remaining three off my followers. 4 are undead so maybe a start off with an exorcism, taunt, shiled. I am sure it will get easier, just watch those dots!

I did notice some curse he put on one of my team, something like all damage you do to Boss will be done to the target of Boss. I could not cleanse it so I figured it must be a curse.

I also noticed you get adds coming in from the cave you just ran through, so don't stand too close to it or they will all come after you. My last attempt, my hole group appeared to get ice blocked.... I gave up after that since the realm seemed to be lagging more and more.

Random stuff:
Oh and some of the slaves will help you fight if you click on them, most just say thanks and bail, but some do help for a few minutes. Finally, I found nothing of interest in the pit! But boy I wish I could mine those nodes.
