WotLK - SFK - The Love Rocket

[crowdx]

I presume we have to drag our whole team up to SFK? This will be the first time I can box a seasonal boss, it sucks that the gear idrops are all such low level
Mount would be nice though :P

[Dorffo]

drag alts out and park at the summoning stone for the duration of the event!

[succulent]

My approach was drinking one of the potions prior to the fight making me immune to one type of gas. Then I pull. Tank them with the back to the group - when Fry (or whatever his name is) spawns, kill him asap, then go back the the remaining. If you have a dedicated healer, you can heal through the clounds you're not immune to, but if you're less geared or dont have a dedicated healer, simply watch out for the clouds youre not immune to a strafe/walk out of them.

Pretty much exactly what I'm doing; dps starts out green-immune and 10y or so behind the first boss, tank is purple immune, burn purple and by the time the green guy is engaged purple is either dead or very close. Tank switches to green-immune, burn green. Last is the ground-dot-tossing guy, make sure searing totems are down (they're immune to the ground dots), keep your guys moving out of goo, stop for heals to keep everyone topped off. Heroism helps a lot in burning the first two down, depending on gear you may want to wait 10 mins between attempts.

Learning this I had all my dps die twice cause they were in a ground goo, but found I could solo the last guy on my pally as long as I used cooldowns wisely and kept out of the goo.

Note: 3rd guy is stunnable, and I'm pretty sure rootable as well. Stunning the 3rd guy keeps him from dropping goo and also makes him stand still. I didn't notice if shield toss or other silences prevent him from dropping goo. I haven't tried fears or other CCs, or stunning the first two bosslets as they drop pretty fast.

Been dragging some alts through this, but still no rocket joy.

I put the green pot on all chars, drop 1 earth elemental and wait for it to start tanking the 1st & 2nd boss. (its immune to almost all damage)

I then kill the 3rd annoying runaround boss, just moving out from the odd purple poison patches on the ground. Then down the 1st boss, making sure not to over agro elemental; there's plenty of time as the elementals not required for the 2nd boss who goes down last.

This way, the only damage i take is from the little adds that the elemental doens't pick up. With 5 shaman I can rotate over all my alts with no waiting on elemental cooldowns.

I find this much easier than using my paly tank, as most of the time the 3rd boss is down before he throws a purple pot at me, so normally no movement involved throught the fight.

I finally got it down now. Think I was just off my game the first day figuring out the encounter.

The strategy I use is to stand 2 DPS up on the crates near the fountain- you get on them by the ledge. Then I put my healer up on the fountain and final DPS w/e generally on the lower fountain edge.. Them being off the ground buys me some time to get Hummel down and then go for Baxter the green guy.

If you get Hummel down then you can pretty much solo the last 2 guys if worst came to worst. Just keep moving! The lack of aggro table on Frye fairly guarantees my slaves will be dead by the end but usually 2-3 survive and have had a few flawless victories now.

Got the mask-wasteling and seen every necklace so far... Now just need that rocket! Geez I'll totally freak if that thing drops lol.

Frye may not have an aggro table, but he's definitely taunt-able. I kick the purple guys ass, switch to the green immunity then have Frye bouncing between me and my team like a ping-pong ball using taunts while avoiding the purple goo he may toss on the ground. It has become really simple!

[Velassra]

I get green and purple down almost no problem. by the time I hit the 3rd guy things have gona all to shit.

Idk Rough one for me.

I know this event is just about over. I finally got a streak of 0 deaths on this one, so I figured I'd write up what has worked for me.

This works "best" if you have a pet of some kind, but it isn't mandatory. I used the 'lock succubus to really good effect.

Park the team all lined up (being lined up is important!) facing the boss with the quest turn-in. (And I mean, exactly straight :P Arcane Missiles etc will mess up the next part if they aren't straight!). For location, I put them mid way between the table and the fountain, just in front of the fountain. Try strafing them back and forth. If they all stay in line, you're good to go. A little time on the prep really helps when the fight starts.

Put the tank on the purple guy, facing your team so you can see them.

Put the pet on "stay" at the base of the table, in Passive mode.

Have everyone use the Green potion, the Tank uses the Purple potion.

Have the character with the quest run forward and trigger the event. Make sure to use just the forward/back keys. Don't steer, don't mouse look. You have enough time for the event to start to back up into position with the rest of the team.

Once the event starts, go all out against the purple guy. You have about 10 seconds of free DPS before anything more complicated happens. The green guy will then activate and run at your DPS team. At this point, I send my pet at the guy. Since the pet was "behind him" due to the position, he'll run back a little bit and face away from the team. This helps because Chain Reaction can really hurt an undergeared team. The pet will take very little damage from Chain Reaction. If he is still too close, strafe the team a little bit further from him and keep up the DPS.

Frye will then activate and now the "fun" starts. The best bet is to focus on what color beaker he is holding, because that's the color of cloud you'll need to avoid when he throws. If he throws Purple at the tank, ignore it. If he throws green at the DPS, ignore it. It was hard to learn this at first - but as other posters have stated he is unlikely to "overlap" clouds. Staying in a matching color is actually a good thing.

Once the main guy goes down, switch the tank to "green" and hit your follow key. Run for the first Green cloud you can see and get away from the Green guy if you can (this is where the pet tank helps, as it keeps him "busy"). You'll probably need an AoE heal or 2 at this point (I've found myself spamming it).

Now keeping your team on follow, move your main so that he is between your team and Fry. Just run around your team as Fry moves, staying close enough to your team that they don't step, they just rotate - this will keep him "in front" of the team. Don't worry about tanking him. Just stun him if you can, but other than that focus everything you've got on him. Watch for purple clouds at this point and start spamming AOE heals (you won't need mana once Frye is dead).

Every once in a while Frye will get a purple potion on your team - just run for the next green cloud. I've had problems with this though - since sometimes I have a sea of purlpe to run through... just run fast and use your instant heals if you can.

Once Frye is dead.... back your team up, grab the green guy with your tank (a good distance away). And fall asleep while you kill him.

With a good tank, and some good use of cooldowns, I've actually solo'd from Frye at 30% (the other guy at full). If you have a SS or Reincarnation, save that for when you have Frye dead, then pop it to take out the last guy.

Hope this helps

Zero for 40 on mounts so far. Some insane numbers on the Wowhead posts, with several folks going 0 for 400ish. Ouch.

[jinkobi]

I've killed the guys 6 times a day since the event began. Lot of Abyss crystals, and I think everyone has the mask and pet. No rocket or heartbreaker =( Sucks the most overgeared A-hole on our server got it like the first day.

It's the Headless Horseman all over again for me, lol. But geez I even killed him more without luck on his mount.

Ah well, lol. At least I don't wipe anymore. If anyone is still having trouble be sure and make use of your environment. Ledges, crates, fountain, etc...
