Forge of Souls(PTR heroic)

[Niley]

Edit, before anything else, i dont think this inatnce deserves its own topic, i cleared it in 8m33s.



Ill do a little write up soon, but so far first boss down,not too hard, just has a gimmick at 40%ish.
edit 1. 2nd boss down, mini RoS, really fun, i think its my fav boss in any heroic so far.

Bronjahm(Boss no 1):
Up to 405 he's pretty straight forward with some small aoe damage going around, easy healable. Once he reaches 40% he summons big whirl around him, and only open area is around him
You can see the whirl and my positioning here:

He also fears, so make sure to dispel/tremor, as you will get feared into whirl and die....he feared my tank.
Thats the whole fight.

DoS(2nd boss)"
He does few different abilities.
Jumps on top of random member, leaves purple void zone behind
Does a mirror image, seems like the damage that boss takes is taken by the member that is being targeted. Stop dps here.
Summons ghosts, that do very minor damage, i just ignored them, chained healed x3 once.
I really liked this boss, he was fun, had to strafe, stop dps, heal etc, really nicely designed.

Thanks for the writeup - so with the 1st boss I gather you collapse everyone around the tank at 40% and keep dps'ing as per normal?

Cheers,

I actually just leave them on follow, so they're right on the boss and chain heal hits the tank as well as other team members, but collapsing would work also.
edit: You can't pre position for this guy, so i think its a lot easier to just all run in to melee range, you can pre position for final boss thought.

do the bosses not drop loot on the PTR?

I want info on all the phat lewts I can get on my teams =)

I dont think I have heard of any drops from any new instance (5man or raid) of yet. MMO Champion and Wowhead would have posted them if they were found. Craftables are known, but not drops.

[gitcho]

any idea what the ilvl will be on teh 5man drops?

Confirmed to be 219 for nonheroic and 232 for heroic.

Im guessing 226 or 232, badly itemized of course, lol.

I can't put words on how glad I am you posting PTR stuff like this for boxing....

The only thing I'm worries about, is that stuff you say is 'easy' or make seem easy can be pretty though for everyone else

played this instance today during maintenance. gone in heroic mode directly.
playing on Brill server: latency constantly yellow, 350-550 ms :/
with my 5 paladins.
some trash is dangerous with 5 melee group, mixed casters and melee, it s possible do it without cc, but requires some serious heal on dps.
boss 1 is really easy, one shot. almost no needed any tactics just stayed in middle and killed him. he casts random fear on 1 target.
boss 2 is different story. main issue for me it s been understand mechanics.
6 wipes. most important thing looks to stay away from well of souls aoe. he do impressive spell damage on tank too, but with normal latency is surely easier.
