Cata - Lost City of the Tol'vir

still looking for tips on heroics. I am able to clear bosses 2,3 but blocked at boss 1 (general husam) in heroics.

any tips,strats,fraps would be most appreciated. thanks!

I'd say there is a fair amount of luck involved in this fight, but as you keep practicing you'll notice it gets easier and easier to dodge the bombs.

What I generally do on my 4 ret pala + DK team is always try to stay together in front of the boss. I'd not go as far as saying its a safe spot, but I very rarely see bombs land on top of my team.

When he is casting those rocky spikes in 4 direction, thats a really good time to try and regroup if your team got scattered.

The rest is pretty much strafing and backing away from bombs. As I said earlier practice and luck helps a lot.

Here is a totally unedited video of me doing the fight today as part of the random daily heroic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Fh3ulFMfaQ

Hope this helps!

it did! after watching your video, i realized that i was strafing too early but instead (since i use pal+4shammies) i should wait when the bombs are about to activate and then just nature swiftness and chain heal my way out while following my tank. I also saw how you regrouped during shockwave. in the end, thanks for the vid and it helped me finally clear this one!

I am still struggling to kill him on my mixed team. What do you use to regroup during the shockwave? Sometimes I see like you're using IWT and other follow your main...

It depends on the situation:

If I see that the loose clone would walk over mines if it were to follow the main, then I just use IWT, otherwise I always try to regroup by using follow on the main. I think the key on him is to try to keep your team as together as possible.
