Haha, still cannot kill hc Drakkari Colossus

[d0z3rr]

Biggest gimmick boss of all time. My team is completely epic'd out now (5 pally team). I can smash any heroic but Gundrak, thanks to that boss. Unbelievable. Who is the retarded blizz developer that thought of that boss? Seriously?

You need some nature resistance. Melee teams are terrible because they will stand on top of each other and cause the goo to overlap and tick away your hps. I would suggest kiting phase 2 in different directions to keep the goo from piling up.

I just stand in the goo and out-heal it. I don't understand how the boss is difficult, I was beating him in greens.

Yep Gundrak was one of the first dungeons I conquered myself.

His problem is lack of a dedicated healer. Without the trinity tank, healer, dps trivial fights become unruly. Plus he's all melee two strikes against him already.

Ranged DPS+healer+tank you can do anything.

If you had a shaman in your group.... no kidding. Took me a long while (w/ a Paladin, Priest and 3 Locks) until I was about lvl 200ish w/ gear. In greens I dropped faster than a hooker for a $20 bill. Now, my AoE heals is more than enough.

No you don't. Just don't stand in the puddles like a noob and you won't die. It's tricky but not exactly rocket science. Just in case anyone thinks I'm being a hardass, here's the really, simple, cake-like strategy for paladins:

1) Use Seal of Insight.
2) Clear all teh other trash around the platforms.
3) Run over to the first platform.
4) Line up your guys all facing the same direction.
5) Kill phase 1
6) Stutter-step backward using your "everyone move backward" keybind while killing phase 2
7) Reset position back to the original spot for phase 3 and kill him.
8) Stutter-step backward while killing phase 4.
9) ???
10) PROFIT!!!

So simple, even a caveman could do it.*

Note that I did this in about 4800GS badge gear, and with zero nature resists, so It R Hard, Yo. I reforged my extra hit into haste and didn't bother with anything else since we're all replacing this anyway in another 7 weeks or so.



* Caveat: if your gear or DPS macro sucks, you will run out of room before he dies. In that case, sucks to be you.

The way to take him with a Tank+4xRet pally team is to kite him with your tank and keep your Rets on a strobe follow (I do it in my spam macro) so they attack him. I usually run my tank in reverse with him in tow and do circles around his area while my Rets spank his backside.

This keeps you out of the constant stacked goo piles.

Heal like hell during the switches between phases, taunt him at each phase and continue kiting with the Rets in tow smacking him. He goes down pretty easy this way and you take minimal damage from the goo.

[Noids]

Harder without the passive healing from DS also but the other hint is to make sure you have seal of light up for the healing regen too.

As mentioned kite him in a circle with your tank moving backwards to stay out of the nature fire

[Multibocks]

Yea, its a movement thing. Dont stop moving and you win.

Nature Resistance makes this fight a joke. If you can't bring a shaman in the party, there are a couple of other things you can do:

1) This head enchant will give you 25 nature resistance. This cloack enchant gives you another 20. You could apply both enchants on some outdated gear in your bank that you only equip for this fight. If you use lesser flask of the resistance, then you already have 95 nature resistance. Prior to this fight you can eat this food, which will give you another 8. And as you are about to engage the boss drink this potion (or drink it during combat right before the boss shifts into the 2nd phase). This should give you 153 nature resistance and it will make this fight a complete joke.

2) If you happen to have a blacksmith who is exalted with Cenarion Expedition; you could craft a few pieces of the lvl 70 epic nature resistance set (legs, head, chest) or if you have a jc the ring.

Long story short, nature resistance and you hardly have to move.
