Wotlk - Ulduar - Halls of Lightning (HoL) - Ionar and Loken strat

Oh, and be sure that your characters are spaced wide enough apart - _I cannot stress this enough_. I remember once I got a little lazy on the spacing and he wiped me in like five seconds

[crowdx]

So on regular on Ionar I spaced all my guys in the area at the bottom of the steps, one basically in each corner, all within healing range. I then tanked him and during the spider things I just healed the group, it was close but no deaths. How much harder does the spider guys hit in heroic?
I need to finish HoL and wondering now should I do it all in heroic or do it regular first, i downed all the bosses 5 boxing regular excpet Loken who I had to leave for RL stuff before I got to him. :-(

Ionar got the nerf bat a bit, a hotfix is supposed to have gone in to limit him to only one dispersion. Same thing with the last boss in Drak Theron. I have not done either since the supposed hotfix.

Ionar, in the Halls of Lightning, will now only disperse once during the course of the fight.
Prophet Tharon’Ja of Drak'Tharon will now only steal your flesh one time during the encounter.

Never found prophet hard in the least lol.

No, but all the zombie modes just slowed things down immensely... IMO they could have just shortened the subsequent de-fleshing emotes, or make it instant... having to have 4 seconds of nothing to do got kinda boring....

The hotfix completely trivialized this encounter. Just spread your toons to the 4 corners of the room you pull him too. Once he disperses, have each toon spam heal themselves.

As an update I finished HoL yesterday. I did Loken with my toons at the pillars and tanked him in the circle, just healed through the AoE and nuked him. Was surprised how easy it was :P

Since I got it with the LFG Heroics, I thought I'd give it a try.

Thanks for the Ionar "4 quarters Strategy! worked like a charm.

Nature res totem + Healing totem, + Priest AOE healing FTW

Only 2 wipes in the whole instance and that on the trash (Slag and Corridor with statues)

general tips (even with one shammy)

General: NR totem
Volkhan: FR totem
Ionar: NR Totem
Loken: NR Totem

Did it the day after with no wipes ... -> Added to my farm list

The Prophet in DKT is cake bro.

Engage the boss with your tank and take your slaves off follow. Make sure everyone is topped off before he gets to 50%. At 50%ish he turns you into skeletons. Spam 4 and use your mouse to click on 2 to keep him on your tank.. When he throws poison on the ground move your team out of it.

Ionar I use to actually dread him but he's very easy once you know what to do. Maybe he was nerfed I don't know. Main thing is try to keep everyone topped off till he disperses then run to the statue room- reposition team and heal as needed. He'll round the corner and be at less than 50% DPS him out.

Loken is a pure tank and spank fight. I got the achievement for killing him in less than a minute on my first kill.
