Cata - The Vortex Pinnacle

[Kalros]

Ouch. This one hurt, and it was mostly trash issues. I'll do my research and make a more detailed post later, but I did it at 81 (probably a level or two too early, but whatevs), still in my 251/264 gear.

Not nearly as much moving required as there was in Throne of the Tides, but some semi-complex fights, and some sick sick trash pulls.

And yes, Fat Tire, you really should utilize Crowd Control on trash in here, even on Normal.

No worries, I roll thru normals with my team.

Howd you do those shooting star things - I can't seem to aoe fast enough. Wiped about 3 times on the 1 trash mob before moving on.
Keen to see some boxer vids of this one.
Efking trash is ridiculous - might have to start using CCs

Did you completely ignore the OPs post?

[confusedtx5]

me? I don't think I have enough CC in the group for all the stars. That was referring to the other mobs that I still managed to drop

replace all you 200-277 gear right away, get all the new greenies. Once you're decked out in greenies try it again!

Just killed the first boss on heroic difficult in the vortex pinnacle, I havent done more heroic bosses yet, but this one is a fairly easy prey to any multibox team. Stay close to him the whole bossfight and you wont get much damage, I got stoneclaw glyph on each shaman and with 3 healing stream totems up I didint even have to heal myself, just sometimes my pally tank.
Doing more heroic bosses tomorrow and will give some feedback, perhaps frapsing some stuff

Edit 2 : 2nd boss down! - after 5 hours
Edit 3: First heroic clear! Last boss down after 3 trys! Btw he is impossible with 4x ele because he does a magic debuff rooting you and then you cant run into the grounding zone -> dead

Hey Kruschpak,

How about the mines? I had to move around for them, but i was standing at max range though.

Kind regards,

Team Overdose

Edit: I thought u were doing the first boss in Lost City of Tol'vir, haha :P

I am going to try it aswell, i nearly killed the first boss but died on 20%. How do you handle those Cloud Prince's? They hurt like hell, and they can't be CC'd
