Wotlk - ICC - Pit of Saron (PoS) - Scourgelord Tyrannus

[remanz]

downed him a couple times now on my dk + 4 pallies team. My strategy didn't change. Mostly just gearing up the tank. I was getting 1 shotted before. Have to bubble sacrifice on the paladin being marked by Rimfang. no other tricks.

Really, all the PVE progression ends with this guy for my team. Once I was able to farm him for the 2h weapon. PVE stops.

IMO, tank needs to be defense capped and 30k hp minimal to be able to take a beating from him. Average DPS 2k on 4 of my paladins. so saying 8k DPS is required is probably fair for your 5 men team. 3 dps team, you need about 2.7k dps average.

Why is there a DPS requirement? It is not a DPS race, is it? I can understand for your team makeup it may be a DPS race but he doesn't have an enrage timer or anything, or does he?

For 5 solo players, this is not a DPS race. For boxing, I think it might be if you are not constantly moving your toons. We are taking a lot of frost damage from Rimfang. So the healer has to heal a lot in this fight. For my team, I am simply cheating with divine shield + divine sacrifice. By the time, I have used 4 of them if the boss is not near death, it will be over for me. For other boxing compositions, you don't have 30% damage reduction on group for 1min (unless you have 300+ frost resist). So you have to heal it through. and you are right. the DPS is not a requirement. It was just an estimation of what level of gear is suited for this encounter.
