Cata - Blackrock Caverns

[Kalros]

Very simple dungeon. Only 2 wipes total on my first run through. Trying for no wipes on my 2nd!

And Crowd Control is NOT necessary for this place on normal. AoE as normal.

Thanks for that, any help on getting the bosses down strats wise? and congrats !!!

First boss is easy : Just spread when the chain breaks to avoid a one shoot aoe and regroup & run a little after that to avoid an earthquake.

I can't do the second boss thought. Kinda hard to block the beam while boxing, how do you manage that ?

[Kalros]

Mission Accomplished! Finished it a 2nd time with zero wipes (though 1 or 2 deaths though, damnit!)

First boss: DPS him down until he does the chains. Immediately dps the chains down. Once they are down, Get everyone away from him, as he will be doing an AoE Nova-type spell. Continue DPS, rinse, repeat.

Second boss: I guess there is a strat where DPS keeps the adds from spawning, some crap like that. I just targeted the boss, popped Heroism and cooldowns and just blasted her, grabbed the adds with the tank as they popped.

Third boss: Very simple. Make sure DPS are NOT standing on that ring of grating above the lava as they will be 1-shotted once lava starts shooting up from underneath. Tank temporarily drags the boss into the middle to get about 5 or so stacks of the debuff, pull him out, DPS. Once the debuff wares off, pull him back to the middle, get about 5 stacks again, pull him out, DPS, Miller Time!

Fourth Boss: Easy stuff. Tremor totems or other abilities that break fear are your friend, otherwise, tank and spank.

Final Boss: You're supposed to CC the adds, but like the 2nd boss, I just popped hero, all cooldowns, blasted the bastard.

Thanks and congrats again, Im getting worried that most of the new content will probably defeat my meagre boxing abiliities. Im going to give it a shot tho for a few months. Keep up the great work and let us know the strats on your new instance successes.

And Throne of the Tides can officially suck my nuts!

[Khatovar]

Good to know. We can go hide in there once the kiddies get off school.

Can't get past boss 3. Wipe #4.

First it was my fault for sucking - wasn't healing the tank, macros screwy. Now he just slaughters my face. It takes all I've got just to heal the tank and keep the tank up. His AoE fire blasts are also wrecking the team.

First two bosses weren't bad - the first was REALLY easy.

Ugh. Gonna take a break and quest.

Make sure you are not keeping the boss in that center area for more than a couple seconds. Thats all it takes to stack up the debuff. The longer he's in there, the more AoE damage everyone takes.

Dont think anyone said CC would be needed on normals, I know I didnt. Lets see how you handle heroics
