WotLK - Slave Pens - (SP) - Midsummer Icelord: 2010

[Dorffo]

as others have posted, if you've got mostly ranged - it's a very easy fight. Kill the first add, strafe out of spikes and burn... basically looks like nuke nuke, strafe, nuke nuke, strafe, nuke nuke, strafe etc. collect loots

[ghonosyph]

I'm not sure what advice I can give for a caster team but this: stay toward the left most side and burn adds, cast once strafe right cast strafe cast strafe. When I did it on my pallys this is all I did pretty much just spamming my divine storms and consecrates nuking the big add as fast as possible while strafe1 casting1 the ice circles that knock you back have a 2 second timer when they land and when they spike. You should be able to strafe out of every one without ever gettin knocked around lol. If you can't manage that try running with follow and casting aoes to take out the adds and ONLY stop to nuke the big add and boss shard.

Good luck all you casters don't give up!

For the couple of people who are saying Ahune is difficult to box and think Blizzard specifically made him hard to box....


There is nothing new about his mechanics, he works the exact same way he always has. The only thing different is how you get to him (LFD), his level, and the loot he drops.

Cataclysm is going to bring big changes, just like wrath did, just like BC did. People will overcome the changes.

Well that's good to know. Yeah this is my first year to even be around in July- had to pull some strings to be here for the midsummer event lol. Just the way things have been going Blizz does seem to be straying from the tank n spank model. Wasn't sure if Ahune was the same as before- good to know.

If you notice when you zone in to the fight before the ice structures around Ahune spawn. They are actually covering those little lamp things which would have been great to nullify the flinging thing. Looks like they were thinking ahead.

Even if every dungeon boss turned out to be like the new ICC's- like you said we've conquered those battles. I'm buying Cataclysm the first day you know it! Trying to reserve all my negativity until i've actually played the expansion, lol.

Maybe wear some of the frost resist gear? may try that as it works good for Garfrost..

as long as you kill the hailstones that spawns once prior to ahune surfacing you should be clear of any damaging auras. when killing them, you need to have your guys away from the tank so they don't tick dmg, unless you have an all-melee team. the goal is to kill the hailstones as fast as possible then its your call whether to strafe or run around. When running around, DO NOT run within the frosted ground around Ahune - painful. maintain distance. i've done both but there's more management on strafing than running around - and i'm lazy.. either way, should be a win.

my magma and nova are on castsequence macro keybound to same as consecrate on my pally and rejuv/wildgrowth on druid. run with mouse w/ follow strobe on and one key spammed while waiting for the core.

Should only have to do phase 1 once...

Got lucky and my g/f who is a pet whore got the ice chip out of her bag on the first kill /yay done with this event for the year.

With my method and 3 new scrub 80s in my team, unfortunately sometimes it takes me 2 cores to finish ahune.

I have been foaming at the mouth all day to try it again and the servers are still down... Bet all my addons got knocked out too- lol. So guess I'll be spending tonight updating addons if the servers make it up.

Frost gear won't help me much. My team is pretty durable and has quite a bit of survivability and I've conquered POS, FoS, etc.. With the help from you guys I believe I've identified my problems to finallly pul it off.

[Sbrowne55]

Well I figured out a simple way of doing, that works for me.

Burned down the large add, and gathered all the little ones while doing no dps and dodging that godforsaken bounceback thing, then I just waited till be burrowed and left adds up and burned him down in 30 seconds. The adds disapear after lol. He doesnt do any bounceback when hes defending from the firetotem guys.
