I hate HoR

[jimbobobb]

lyonheart i agree with the trash. No luck there. You have to stick to the strategy, have enough dps and they go down if you don't screw up. No luck involved here. But the fear from the first boss ... as far as i know you have no conrtol where your slaves are running to like headless chickens. I've had them all over the place, taking ages till they are back. By the time they are healed and dps for a few seconds, next fear is there. And the healing/dps debuff stacks up to 75%. Again it's doable, but it's a small line between wiping or not for me. Maybe racials play a role here? Not sure if the dwarf/undead/human racials can break the fear? I never tried spamming chain heal though during the fear, i usually lose a second or 2 there. Gonna give that a try.

And jimbobobb: " Defiling Horror (Heroic mode) — A blood curdling yell rings out, filling the minds of nearby enemy targets with Horror and dealing 2500 Shadow damage every 1.0 sec. for 4 sec. Instant. As a Horror effect, it is not dispellable, even by Will of the Forsaken or Tremor Totem. 4000 damage per 1 sec on Heroic (4 sec cooldown)".

This was the aoe shadow damage i meant.

yup yup - like I said, he does no aoe damage that's not associated with the fear, so you don't have to move your guys - they can be in melee range. Just use iwt to get all your guys right on top of him for aoe heals/to keep track of your guys, keep your cool, single target heal if you have to, and he really does become a piece of cake.

However, my guys are relatively well geared, and I normally have him down to half or less before he even starts his first fear, so I can see how if you had to deal with like 5 fears, it could get really bad.

eta: Oh yeah, it IS resistable by the way, so make sure you have shadow res aura up, or shadow resistance if you have a priest, gotw, etc etc.
