What kind of dps are you pulling? From the sound of it, you should have no problem just burst him down.Originally Posted by kenphillips
I have no problem 3 man him (carrying 2 lvl40s through), I'm only heroic/badge geared (ie 219/232), typically downing him around 25sec (15-18sec with 5 lvl80s, best record is 11sec with bloodlust).
What classes are you trying to 4-box him with? How much DPS are your DPS guys putting out?
I just ran it with my druid tank/3x sham/hunter off group, the highest of which is about 3200 gearscore (all blues or i200 crafted epics). They only keg one of my guys about once every 3rd or 4th run. Curious if you're still having problems.
Now playing: WoW (Garona)
Use caution when buying items
OK. Buying tons of Pint-Sized Pink Pachyderms and Brewfest Ponykegs across my characters. I just finished explaining to my buddy about how the pet was not unique and can't be sold back and that the keg was unique... so the proper buying order for safety is keg first then pet.
Then I promptly went to buy a pet and mis-clicked on it, buying two of them. Waiting on a GM to see if I can be saved from my mistake.
The pet is not unique... You can drain all of your tokens with a couple mis-right clicks.
Doing my best to get motivated for the WoW Headless Horseman mount hunt of 2013... so far failing. and now in 2018, let's see about those HH mounts! [Edit: Actually got an HH mount in 2018... on separate account 6. One to go! In 2019, my last BNet accout, the main one, got the HH mount. End of an era.]
I multibox because I have no time, have a life, have a job and[/or] money and have little patience for drama and temper tantrums. -- heffner
Horde Ram Race is way broken
So, in trying to fix my blunder myself by trying to squeeze in some extra ram races, I'm reminded of how utterly screwed the Horde are when it comes to their ram race.
On the alliance side, the best time is around 38 or 39 seconds for a round trip. A perfect run can net 40 tokens, or perhaps a couple more. If you miss a checkpoint because of lag or whatever, even miss two of them... you can still come away with 30 tokens.
The horde ram race is straighter, but is also longer. My round trip time seems to be 44 to 45 seconds. That extra 5 seconds adds up in to way fewer trips and way fewer tokens yielded. Numbers like 15 to 20, with lag and unresponsive keg handlers (described next).
Additionally, the alliance side has prominent landmarks that allow you to gauge your turns. Turn around just inside the outer banner pole, and you are guaranteed to hand the keg off. Turn around at the guard before the keg thrower and you will receive a keg.
On the horde side, there are very subtle marks, nothing close to a pole or a person to turn around at. Also, I've run directly over the keg receiver and not tossed my keg. In fact one time I ran tight circles around the receiver and made it around him 3 times before the keg left.
For my problem at hand, I'm trying to get another 100 tokens. I'm at 25 after this last race (gained 16), and I have 2 sets of dailies remaining, which will get me to 75. Looks like I have one more race available, so if I can get 25 tokens, I'm safe even if the GM can't replace the item.... but so far I've gotten no wehre close to 25 toeksn on the horde ram race this week.

GM came to the rescue, btw.

what type of tank you have, if paly can you try a 'diving shield/cancel shield/taunt move' perhaps?
the adds seem to keep respawning right away (not sure it was like that in the past) so i would focus fire on Coren.
got any dps that could offtank a bit maybe? or earth elementals?

Why not letting a 5th player join your group, the additional dps is going to come in very handy, is it not ? I reckon that using the dungeon finder which will fill all 5 slots is the only way to get the keg anyway. If you're tank is really undergeared but has a dps spec you could even let someone else do the tanking
One trick for not getting keg'd during the coren fight is to have your pack be full. Unfortunately, this will make the daily loot keg get 'found in the ether' and mailed to you instead of it being able to go into your pack.

People were getting banned for that, since it was a glitch and not intended. Some people were doing it in RAF for insane XP. Since you can farm him you could 44-60 in an hour. (Or something equivalanet).
I read about it the day someone posted on a forum about it and decided I'm staying well clear since Blizzard clearly know the tricks and it would be easy to discover which toons were getting loot they shouldn't.
A few days later someone posted he got all his RAF toons banned.
