Wotlk - ICC - Pit of Saron (PoS) - Forgemaster Garfrost

Even so, your tank is much better geared, and we're still talking a 5-6k difference, and that's just the hitpoints, not counting other mitigation (which for that fight is not really important, but still) :-) Add to that the fact that your shammies/lock is also way better geared than the average boxer.

Actually my gear isnt as good as you think, going by gs, my 2 shamans are 4400, lock is just a tick over 5k, my pally is 5219, and my main(shaman) is 5387, other than my main and maybe the pally, a boxer can easily obtain 5k gs in a day or two of farming heroics. Other than 2 toons we're even, so i guess your are also way more geared than most boxers?
Your pally actually has some stats that are better than mine too, more dodge, 7% more block, more expertise etc.
I'm pretty sure by end of next week You and other boxers will overgear my toons as 4 of my accounts are canceled and i haven't boxed for weeks.

I have no idea what my gearscore is, but yes, I'm probably more geared than the average boxer, since I'm wearing mostly conquest and ToC items plus a level 226 crafted and some triumph gear. Which is exactly my point - the fight isn't trivial even with good gear, so for most it'll pose a very significant challenge

You guys got me all worried reading this thread, so I went in there and put on my cold resist gear that I used to use for naxx, and let me tell you - with 300 plus frost resistance, this fight is a total joke.

edited to add - on heroic

Yeah I figured that out too last night, but my tank is the only one who had the frost gear. Glad I have crafting mats stacked up!

btw, u can use your mounts in the pit of saron after a "tactical retreat".

[Kedash00]

i dunno if anyone has said this but the last boss you can nuke the shit out of him while he's on his little dialog, i got him to 54% before he got off his mount and just taunted him and fought him normally.

downed him 2nd try after i found out you could actually hit him while he's on his mount.

[Multibocks]

Here is how I did it. Don`t know if there is anyone who took him down a a full boxer party, if so please share your tactics

I had trouble with getting my party to hide, so I figured why not hide the boss.



Red = party
Yellow = tank
Blue = boss

Put the party in the spot, pull the boss to position one. When you feel like resetting debuffs take the boss to position 2 and move back once your able to get back to dps`n.

I hate you for suggesting this. Ok hate is a strong word, but what ended up happening is the stupid boss threw a stone at my guys and got them all stuck in the geometry of the instance. I couldnt do anything. Talk about frustrating, since he was 20% health and all my guys were alive and full health and I just stood there while he killed my tank and then the slaves one by one. I couldnt even heal.

edit: fuck this boss, he gets stuck on geometry and then just icelances your group to death. It's days like this I want to fucking throw my keyboard at the wall.

editx2: wow so I finally down him after about 15 wipes. The rocks make is so IWT doesnt work. All your guys get stuck on the rocks, so its kind of a dps race (and at same time a healing fest) because once you get too many rocks on ground you are in trouble.

lol, settle down beavis

This was changed on Wednesday. He now heals to full health after he dismounts.

If anyone can kill him since the bug fix, your good. i'm struggling on him and my shamans are all full t9, although my one tank friend is undergeared for here, 35k hp with warrior hp buff. Having an actual healer for this fight would also be a good idea.

They fixed it on Eu realms

i took him down on my second try i just put my shamans out in a box and my paladin in front....just nuke him down but there are a pain in the ass to heal....i dont have a dedicated healer in my group... Lb-chain lighting -heal upp my tank..lavaburst and the heal... make sure to not dps or heal when he has the debuff wich heals him upp when you heal...and dont dps att all......your taking extrem damage if you dps him with the debuff upp
