Occulus new boosted rewards!

[outdrsyguy1]

Okay, so now i need someone to help me figure out how the hell to beat the last boss. I've had a lot of trouble and have never beaten him. What color drakes work best? Is there a way to just do all one color to make multiboxing easier and zerg his ass, even if 3 or 4 peeps die?

Oculus Loot Improvements

This is a nice surprise for those of you that have actually gone through Oculus when getting it in the random dungeon part of the Dungeon Finder!

Quote from: Zarhym (Source)
To encourage players not to shy away from the many invigorating adventures to be had in The Oculus, we have applied a change to enhance the rewards players are provided when selected for this dungeon via the Random Heroic option in the Dungeon Finder. Once Ley-Guardian Eregos is defeated, one loot bag per character will be provided in his chest in addition to the current rewards. Each loot bag will offer players rare gems, two additional Emblems of Triumph, and a chance of being rewarded the Reins of the Blue Drake. These fine treasures could be yours should you honor your fellow party members by besting the challenges contained within The Oculus! Keep in mind, however, that these extra loot bags will only be awarded to each party member if Oculus is selected by the Dungeon Finder when players choose the Random Heroic option.

In light of this change, the Reins of the Azure Drake will now have a chance of dropping in both 10- and 25-player versions of The Eye of Eternity.

I think people will still bail on it. I will do it now for sure, I always could, just takes more time than I wanted to spend. But now it will be well worth it.

Is this still the best boxing tactic for Occulus?

Problem always with Occulus (as a multiboxer) is that it requires you to have a few special macros and bar configs, whether you do 5x bronze or a 3x red/2x green combo. Wasn't worth it really before this change, we'll see if its worth it now. You can actually blow through the instance very fast, ~20 mins start to finish.

I find it absolutely funny however that Blizzard has to go to these extremes (DONT LEAVE! MOAR LOOT GUYS!!). I know whenever I queue up on my solo tank warr and I get oculus, I instantly bail -- not because the instance is hard, but because the last boss is about tactics not brute-force with gear, so its super easy to wipe repeatedly, and people nowadays never seem to actually listen to anyone else. Even if you fully explain what to do, and it really just boils down to DPS BOSS FOLLOW ME WHEN I RUN AWAY, 99% of the time you get people who still die to dumb things.

I just followed Moos strat from his video.. I have also used the strat from the wiki.. i like the 5 bronze drakes best.

hehe, I love how hard they're trying to make Occulus more inviting. A lot of companies would just write it off, let players whine and try not to make the same mistake again. I have no doubt that we won't see another flying instance, but it's nice that they're still tweaking the one we've got to try to make it right.

That makes two potential shots at the Reins of the Blue Dragon per day. Awesome! I haven't finished my Occulus setup but this is a great incentive.

And it looks like they are nerfing the waves in HoR a bit.

Here is the HoR changes

The ghost waves at the beginning of both normal and heroic Halls of Reflection have undergone several changes that should make them easier to defeat such as preventing 2 mages or 2 mercenaries from spawning in the 5 mob pulls, a shorter duration of the spectral footman’s shield bash, and the spectral mage’s flamestrike having a longer cast time, shorter duration, and (in heroic) doing less damage.
