Mechagon

[Ellay]

So I did a +8 Workshop (last 4 bosses) and while I didn't time it (I think shorted by a few min. It was definitely doable, the trash was harder than the bosses!
I also got a mic so you can hear me talk to myself, not sure if it was insightful but adding that element to it.

I completed a +10 Mechagon Junkyard (not timed) and whoo wee was it a doozy. Don't think I'll post the run but this seasons awakened affix is pretty beefy.
As far as Junkyard goes, there are these little bots scattered throughout the zone that give you some pretty nice buffs but if you die the go away. For a regular team it makes clearing this dungeon a lot easier than some.

i have been working this dungon on heroic difficulty with prot pal and 4 rets (item lvl445ish) so i can learn the fights. No healer needed so far, the flash heals and hand of protector is more than enough healing for heroic. I just wanted to post a few thing in case other boxers are wondering.First. you can do it on heroic to get the essence ( visions of perfection ) which is still the best in slot for most specs..you can get the rank1 and the recipe for rank2 of the last boss ( two runs ) also on heroic, you have a small chance to get the sprockets needed for rank3..but this seems time consuming.. im going to start working on mythic now and use heroic as filler if i dont have a mythic+ key. The sprockets can now drop off junk yard last boss and king. some have reported that the higher mythic+ you do, you can get up to 4 total. (thats all you need to get rank3 )

Man, I just CANNOT get the aerial oppression unit fight. Can't drain enough energy from the towers to get it to go haywire, and basically it just times out and kills my entire team. I gave it a dozen tries, and either I'm terrible or this is buggy. Probably me being terrible at this. I guess I'll have to do it with a pug and just single-box it so I can at least get the achievement and unlock mechagnomes, or wait until the expansion when I'll hopefully be able to just overwhelm it.

100 energy, -2 energy per second = 50 seconds (1/3rd of the time limit, or even half of the time limit if you include the time spent to get to the tower and through the traps, and I see no way to get multiple characters through those traps without getting hit by something) if I could stand still. Except the bots are constantly moving so you have to keep moving yourself, and they seem to speed up as the energy goes down, and one single mistake means you get teleported to the beginning and have to go through the traps again. What's the secret that I'm missing here?

I just run through it with 1 character, you have more than enough time to drain it, leave the rest of your team right at the front of the platform where the gauntlet starts so they don't take too much random damage. It's not too bad on regular mythic but it ramps up on the higher keys.

[Lyonheart]

I always start right in front of the ramp and drain until the inner bot gets close.. then i run around completely until im back at the ramp ( you want to be close as you can to the boss so when you get him to haywire you only have 30secs to kill him or you have to do phase 1 again ). If you do that you will only drain 3 or 4 times tops and you can sprint ( or whatever speed boost you have)..to get you and your team on the boss ASAP.

+9 Mechagon Workshop, extremely clean run - would use this as a reference point for the bosses.

The Kujo and final boss were all done without any hiccups.
