Cata - Heroic Vortex Pinnacle

[Enoah35]

I agree that the 4 shaman+tank build has a little advantage on some of the fights but I suppose it could be fixed with gear (I hope..). Will try to continue doing this heroic aswell as SFK heroic since it seems its not as horrible as Halls of Origination where there is no way I can pass the first boss at this moment.

P.S. Not sure if I was lucky but he went down on first go today. Guess I adapted to the mechanism and did some thing right... (like top off everyone's hp while you got the wind buff, use cooldown to reduce damage while not etc). Although I am just so pissed about the trash mobs after him... appart the fact that it does insane damage, if you can't CC the healers you are doomed.

Your group has 3 cc's you should be fine.

Another tip is have the tank taunt each time he does the breath.

The boss will still turn and appear as though he hit your slave, but the tank takes all the damage.


My team (paladin + 4 shamans) are undergeared and I was easily able to do this.

All 4 slaves were parked in the same crack in the stairs (no tornadoes every go there) and I tanked the boss in the middle.
Each time he did a breath, I taunted and the tank took the damage. About 1/2 way, my healer and dps ran out of mana. I was still able to do it fine, just have to use thunderstorm, mana tide, and mana spring to regen slowly...took a while go got him down.
