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

[David]

Not by a long shot. I`m a little under 2k sp selfbuffed on my shamans

[Fuzzyboy]

I'm in conquest-emblem gear mostly, two pieces of triumph gear, plus crafted boots (ilvl 226) and some drops from ToC hc - decent gear, but nothing from raids.

I can make a vid from live servers(my accounts run out of time on 28th, I canceled),but honestly the fight is identical to what it was when i made it on the ptr.
It is pretty tough when it comes to healing, if you have a pally dont forget to bubble/sacrifice when it gets tough, also 3-4 healing streams help a ton also frost resist totem(keep devo aura for 3% more healing).
This is of course if you run similar group to mine(pally,3 sham, warlock)

here's the video, maybe it can provide some help.

I got him the second try last night. I'd keep my toons running with me. When he'd throw a boulder I would try to run them around to try to avoid it. I can't remember if that actually worked, but when he runs to those forges I would stack my guys on me, behind a piece of the saronite, to where the saronite was between him and me. That would let the debuff tick down. Of course I was spamming my wild growth/chain heal combo macro ALOT. I also set wrath totems then set my magma tots after I got the increased sp buff.

I run prot pally, three ele shaman and resto druid. I have seperate regrowth buttons for each shaman and the druid. My last shaman died and left me and somehow I killed him as he was landing his killing blow on me. So we were all dead. It was an epic fight.

Ick on the other hand. I couldn't get

Ivas
Plate
Dishe
Spoone
Kildo

<GTFOT> Blade's edge

Yes, pretty much identical, except that most boxer tanks dont have 52.5k health ;-)

I could easly add almost 200 stam pre talents to your tank, just by regemming. You would sit at around 37k, my base in that ss was right around 39(39.6 iirc), that plus drums, scroll, flask and pally buffs would put you very close to 50k, and this is what i did.

there you go 37k, your toon just changed the belt,. the one that i used is really cheap to make now, with your old belt you were at 36.7 or something close to that.

with exacly your amount of stam, +all buffs, but my locks imp/flask and food i ended up at 42.8k, another 1660 for imp, 1300 for flask and 40 from food, after talents you will have right around 47k =D

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.

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.

It's sort of like the heroics at the beginning of wrath - some encounters posed significant challenges when we were in blue gear, but when you totally outgear the instance you can just faceroll through (not to say that's what you did though!). Group composition has say also - again, until we outgear the instance of course.
