Wotlk - ICC - Forge of Souls - Devourer Of Souls

[uffela]

This boss is ripping my 5x paladin team apart - I don't seem to understand the mechanics of him or something.

When he does the mirrored soul thing I stop attacking and move it out of the consecrate patches - that's good.

But then when there's something else it casts - it's like my reflexes are for crap because I just can't seem to move right and get out of the way or whatever I'm supposed to do.

Of course, I'm - in my opinion - not outgearing it at all (literally every bit of plate he drops would be an upgrade) - so it's going to be a fight that requires solid performance without any mistakes in order to take him down. I guess I can keep getting an easy badge every run from Bronjahm until I get enough badges to buy the gear that will make this easy.

I struggled really bad with my all-pally team on normal, my rets died in 30-50 seconds the first 6 times. Managed to reset her so the tank could ress, saved some running that way. Gave up first night after 8 very unsuccessful tries.

Did two more tries on the same theme next day, then I refocused and just tried to run around in circles and see how it'll go. "/jamba-follow strobeonme all" made it easier. Stayed alive 2-3 minutes and did some small damage this way. But I finally got a feel for her rhythm and abilities.

Third try I lost one ret after 4 minutes but just kept on kiting her, up the stairs, jump in the middle, let her path, mouse turn, hit a few times, run away and insta-flash heal - after 9 min 36 sec she was down and 4 pallies had full health and plenty of mana still. It was ugly, but I got my pass to Garfrost and started to collect hammers. Life's going to be easier now.

I finally found an easy way for melees to do Devourer. There are stands(?) around the dungeon with 4 skulls. There is a big one behind the Devourer. Go around it, hug the wall to the platform. Jump on the stand from the platform. It will not leap with Well of Souls. It will cast Wailing Souls, the laser that sweeps the room, at about 50%. Bubble or jump off and run.

There are 3 variations on this. Its best if you move with the 2 mouse buttons down and just let go after jump.
1. Jump on the stand and aggro.
2. Range aggro. As it comes up the stairs, run and jump. It will go back down, only if you dont let it come all the way back up. I don't know if it will jump to the stand from the platform. I never stay long enougn. I know that it will jump from the floor to the platform.

these 2 never worked for me because a slave will always miss the jump. Whether I tap space 2x or spam it.

3. this is the long way but works.
Set the slaves on the platform ready to jump. Set tank at max distance with range fire ready. Swing the camera facing the hall. Fire aggro, right click to move to the hallway to reset. Quickly switch to slaves, move, jump 1 by 1. Now get the tank back. It will respawn right before the tank jumps.

Then its just tank and spank.
Also, i think because the toons are inside it(clipping?), Wailing Souls will hit no matter which way its facing.
