Lost City Random Heroic Has Me Pissed!

[Klesh]

Their LFD isn't random at all, search the general WoW forums on this site for at least 1 thread about it. You get instances you didnt clear yet 95% of the time. Since they removed the discovery part, it aint fun anymore to queue for heroics, as long as you didnt clear all.

Yeah, I noticed the non-randomness in wotlk as well. Up until I cleared certain dungeons they gave those to me "randomly" something like 80% of the time and I don't think it's just on heroics. (I used to get Oculus a LOT, until I took the time to learn the strategy for the last boss)

About General Husam though, this is actually the first boss I farmed the hell out of on non-heroic (weapon upgrade ftw, even though it's agility), and as far as I can tell the fight is basically the same on heroic. Like nearly every other wotlk and cata boss, all you really have to do is survive long enough for him to die before you. It's not so much "Stand there and spam the button" as much as it is "I have to keep moving because of all this bullshit that he puts on the ground". That and he throws a random person toward the pillar.

So really, it's about taking as little damage as possible so that the healer will be able to keep everyone up from whatever damage they will be taking. Once you've got that down you also have to do some damage to the boss at some point. Like the times where you don't have to run away, or with instant casts while you move. My first Krick fight in wotlk took 7+ minutes. It got better.

So... move away from the ground orb things when he drops them, make sure they are not between you and the pillar because you'll need lots of autofollow, keep a distance from them in case they explode, and during shockwave step out of it. It's not that bad, I get him to 33% and I've only actually killed one heroic boss
