Haha, still cannot kill hc Drakkari Colossus

[Ughmahedhurtz]

I was able to beat him before the patch by having my ret paladins in a star pattern around the boss. That way, each character only gets one stack of the smaller dot. It was easily healable with flash of light procs, so the only concern was taunting him back into the middle after he surges.

Since the patch, I converted my rets to holy and this boss is much easier, even in the rep vendor blues/epics for healers.

Holy, eh? How's the DPS on 'em?

[Sbrowne55]

With the dps and healing power these days, I just stack up and burn him down. Heck I pull the whole room by going up the stairs behing him from the middle/water.

Hehe trivial. Give it sometime and you'll look back and smile at your progressed team.

Wait, so how much DPS does your holy pallies do exactly? Are all 4 of your pallies Holy?

Cool! Still using 2handers? Or a shield?
Or is this the return of the SHOCKADIN?



Really I'm interested because my DK4Ret team could use one dedicated healer in the mix. They don't do so well on this fight or against Skadi.

Skadi seems fairly trivial once you get the movement down, IMO. I just stack 'em all up facing back up the balcony towards where skadi starts out and then when he whirlwinds, I just press my "run everyone straight forward" key. He's faster than you are backing up, so strafing/running is the only option I've found that works. Well, that and/or bubble if it's up. I usually forget to bubble though and just run out.

skadi can be taunted while he whirlwinds, and will slowly move towards the taunter.
can be used to ping pong him during that time

My Paladin team:

Holy DPS is good enough now to do heroics. About 2-3.5k depending on the boss and movement. Holy Shock scales well and should eventually be 50% of my DPS if I can ever get them all the justice point stuff. So you could really call it the return of the Shockadin.

To answer the other questions: Skadi is easy. I just have them cast holy light on themselves until he stops the whirlwind. I switched from 2h mace to a 1h healer sword and the 70 honor healer shield. No point in getting any DPS gear due to the Spirit->Hit talent.

I should probably try reforging to get more haste. Exorcism will probably do its best with a high amount of haste. Can't hurt the heals either. Either way very fun composition, let me know if you have any other questions.

I've done it succesfully with a team of 4 shamans (ilvl 213) and a Tank DK (ilvl 200)

my advice : stack healing totems (use the Earthliving weapon buff on each toon) + nature resist totem and keep them in the 10 yard range to benefit from healing wave bounce (which I didn't do on my video) and it will be allright

Skadi is insanely easy for caster teams. The difficulty is avoiding whirlwind for melee.

Only if you're all melee. I have a dedicated healer, I send my DPS to follow my healer while my tank runs the other way and taunts.
