Cata - Heroic Shadowfang Keep

Could anyone clarify the dance you do for the fourth boss

you can`t strafe back and forth over a tight spot... i`m guessing circling around the room is the goal

I just spread my slaves out in the previous room (as shown in one of the movies here on the site) so only one of them would get hit at a time with any of the bosses poison/frost. This also reduced the damage from the Ice shards and ended up making most of the fight fairly trivial. I only had to heal one or two toons at a time. Jump for the green poison and don't move during the red poison. I burned bloodlust just after finishing with one of the mystery poisons to make sure i didn't waste it all jumping.

Okay #4 boss is actually pretty easy.... just got to strafe back and forth a bit further, like halfway across the room and back, then just circle around him on you tank.

I'm beginning to wonder how much easier these instances would be with dot/hot strong classes. Like Druid Healer and 3 warlocks with pets. (I'm running Prot Pally, 2 Enh Shammies, 1 Arc Mage, and a Disc Priest).

Thanks for the tip, Dorffo. Often my brain is slightly fried by the time that I get to the last boss and I had yet to come up with a good strategy. What I had been doing is forming a small circle and then moving the one guy out of the way when he faces them for the pistol barrage. I have found this to be difficult and inconsistent, although ultimately it does work. It also causes me to often miss the cursed bullets cast.

Anyway, I'll give that a shot, because it sounds much simpler and more consistent than what I have been doing.

1st boss, just keep track of aggro, since this is pretty much a tank and spank fight pay attention to aggro from dps
otherwise just heal and interupt.

2nd tank spank nothing to it

3rd stay in room, pulling him out seems to buff him with crazy dps, he one shot me after patch if i dont tank him in the room, in the room he was cake, keep your team (if you have all range) at the oposite side of the room whre boss is facing, taunt adds when they are inc and kill them, move out of aoe when he drops it, always keep him face away from team so his cone spell dont hit them, tank can just walk thro him when this happens, perhaps this is a tank gear check fight if you cant keep tank alive some gear check is advisable.

4th bit tricky but once you get it its very easy, DISPELLS is a must or you die, if you cant dispell your team you fail, anyway during poison spray thing just jump to clear, during ICE just run with team where there is no ice, 2nd poison you MUST DISPELL, during FIRE just keep team alive with AOE heals.

1st time i killed him was a mess but i solotanked him from 2mil hp till dead with paladin, rediciolus but true took 5 mins but wth

last boss, if you have range just park all on 1st ledge and then tank him in the pit below, barrage will not hit anyone, dps ghouls and keep cursed shot dispelled from anyone who gets hit.

thats it

When you first enter the room, there're the stairs going down into the room. If you hug the wall to your right you can get out on the ledge that runs all the way around the wall there. Placing ranged up there makes for somewhat of a less hectic fight if dancing out of the bullets is problematic.

This appears to no longer work. I was on the ledge opposite of Godfrey's spawn point and all my ranged/healer got hit by it.
I've tried to figure out how to kill him for a couple hours now and it seems LOS is the only method, but requires VERY fast reaction times and precise positioning. I don't seem to have the required skills and I'm getting tired of repairing. I'm about to give up.
