Easy Badge Farming ????

No, it still works.

I did him last weekend, and grounding totems work fine. They do only absorb the fireballs, not his breath, but the fireballs are the dangerous part anyway. I just did it the standard way; nuking the boss until the dragon lands, grab it, use chain lightning to finish off the boss, then dance slowly around in a circle to avoid the short-range flames. It was actually way easier than when I did the place on normal.

Just tried botanica, damn this place is easymode!

Thought Id give it a try as the last boss was the daily heroic, though I didnt think Id get that far I gave it a shot anyway.

1st boss - easy, DPSed him down before he summoned adds
2nd boss - easy DPSed him down ignoring adds
3rd boss(the satar) i skiped, heard it was a nightmare
4th boss - did this guy last as wanted to try the end boss as it was the daily kill mob, thugh he wa easy too, just DPSed him down no tactic at all
5th boss - yup u guessed it, DPSed him down. i did drop a chain lightning when adds spawned and used fire ele for some extra dmg.

Now considering, I have never even been to botanica normal before, have less than 600 spell dmg on shammies, my pali isnt uncrushable with only 11k HP, and I only resepced a shammy to resto a day or so back so his gear is the worst of all (about 800 healing) I was seriosly shocked. it definatly was my skills thats for sure, i literaly did a normal tank and spank on everything i saw haha

1st boss in SV i use to stand at maxrange stomp totems + earth eles pop bloodlust and then i nuke as hard as i can on her (dont care about adds) ,when she cast the cloud i just run through it and turn around and dps the last bit of her...
i have all my EM + trinkets in my CL macro so 1st i shoot 1 LB and then trinket+EM+CL and continue to spam LB untill shes dead.

2nd boss i stand at max range stomp my fire totems (since he doesnt hurt much) and just pop BL LB EM+CL and after that its just a LB spam.

3rd boss is like the first just watch for spellreflect (spellreflect is perfect for a chain heal since i use to get shorter aggro from him and get hit on some char)
tho on this boss i use to use 2X bloodlust because of tanks and spellreflect.

hope it helps.

1 thing ive noticed is that when i first got my battlemaster trinket i thought the use effect were kinda sucky since i'd pref dmg BUT the HP buff have saved me wery many times from being killed IE on sethekk 1st boss sometimes all adds hit on 1 char and you'd need to cast a heal but with the trinket it have never happened.

Kind of cheezy, but for the 1st boss of SV you can hide in a crack on the right side of the room and avoid all the clouds.

I LOVE YOU! That bitch would be hit or miss depending on where she wanted to blizzard. That little crack in the wall works great. I am going to run it on Heroic now. I was afraid because I had to deal with this whore.

Sort of ressurecting this post, anyone got a screenshot of the location of this crack? having a few probs with Thesp.

I agree, having done it myself recently... respec a Shaman to Resto and you'll have a much easier time with things.
Just make yourself some stopcasting + heal macros like:

/stopcasting
/cast [target=focus] Healing Wave

or however you do your targeting. Then you can keep DPSing on trash and heal as needed, on bosses I just drag off my DPS macros from my resto Shaman and do 100% healing.

If you have a 5 box team of 1 pally and 4 shammy and respec 1 to resto, then you have only 3 dps. Is that enough in those 5m instances?

Vazreden - the last boss in Heroic Ramps just owned me.

But in a kind of interesting, non-intuitive, never-gonna-beat him kind of way. Super.

He was the daily today so I thought I'd go for it. Pulled and killed the two guards far enough back so the rider didn't aggro. Went to the edge to DPS down the dragon, dropping grounding totems as often as I could. Seemed to work about 50% of the time because at some point he killed my healer with a fireball even though 2 groundings were up (I glanced up to make sure we had the grounding buff when my healer died). No problem, I'll just run out and reset, I thought. He had other ideas. Kept fireballing me as I ran back across the bridge... to the spiral ramp down... out past the bottom of the ramp... I was almost to the area where I killed the first boss by the time he finally fireballed my last toon. Of course, fireballs where going through multiple walls and everything many times by then. Was kinda funny to see.

But no problem, I'll just reincarnate and rez up and head back to him again. So I got my team all ready and went back - only to see the rider standing in the middle but no dragon. Killed the rider, went to the chest - unclickable. Guess I got owned.

So just a heads up - if you want to try the strategy of pulling the dragon and rider seperately, you've only got one shot. And groundings are not 100%, at least in heroic.

Check here please so you can see what I do for each one. Still haven't uploaded them all but there's already a few.
In one evening I do without many problems from 7 to 13 Badges, depending on the time available (SP+UB in a bit less than 2 hours and Mecha 3 Bosses + 3 Bota bosses in about 2-2.5 more hours).

Trash in Mana Tombs is so easy, I'm not able to down first boss though and sometimes (don't ask me why ) I down the 2nd Boss and last one is easy.
Haven't tried last 2 Botanica bosses yet.
All the rest I haven't tried so far, having full geared the group I'm now finishing farming the 75k honor for the incoming S4.
But I guess there must be some more easy bosses like some mentioned in this post too .

Having problems with Thesp too :/ Where is that crack? Need because the other boss is very easy and I guess I'll love the last too .

Any hints for the Mecha boss that summons the fire elems? Thank you.
