problem with heroic MT 2:nd boss

[Nepida]

Yeah this was a damn annoying change. I was running someone thorugh heroic mgt and wiped 3 times before we decided to call it. I don't care about repair bills, but spending time relearning a fight I already had mastered is lame.

[FunkStar]

What I do:

5 shamans
4x Ele
1x Resto

4 earth Elemental
1 Fire elemental

I have 3 dps, and one JUST kill the Pure Energy. This way the incoming damage can be focuses within one character. I can heal myself with Gift and be kept up by the resto shaman.

I do not use any trinkets, Heroism, or EM. The faster you kill this boss, the worse he is. Once he is down to 15 %, I might use Heroism if i remember, but it is not necessary.

The only macro I use this this:

/tar Pure
/cast Earth Shock

I found while learning this boss, the easier you make it, the better. Because he really is not that hard of a boss. The rest of the bosses you can brute force and still win. If you brute for this guy, you stand a higher chance of wiping. 9 times out of 10 this works. That one time will be when I am just wanting to go though this guy quickly, and keep up the Pure Energy to long and start to take a lot of dmg.

I'm guessing this is on normal? Earth shock has a 6 sec cd while heroic spawns 2 adds. Lightning bolt Rank 1 or a castsequence of both would work though I reckon.

Gonna try it out tomorrow

maybe I just never noticed my shamans not actually killing the pure energy but I do it with no problems at all

I'm guessing my single fire elemental and chain lightning is enough to kill them

have you tried it after 2.4.3? That's what this thread is on about, as they changed some stuff in it regarding vexallus

[Goodguy]

FunkStar, downe him yet ?

[FunkStar]

Haven't tried yet, somehow the feeling of wiping a lot makes me depressed

[Goodguy]

Just make the earth shock macro sequenced on your shamans.

i.e.

Shammy #1
/cleartarget
/stopcasting
/target Pure Energy
/castsequence reset=combat Earth Shock,,,,
/target Vexallus

Shammy #2
/cleartarget
/stopcasting
/target Pure Energy
/castsequence reset=combat , Earth Shock,,,
/target Vexallus

etc. etc.

Works fine, you spread out the debuff and can easily take down the adds.

Edit: forgot the cleartarget

[Stabface]

Doesn't Chain Lightning kill the adds?
Otherwise how about a Searing Totem dropped so that it's out of range of the boss but will shoot at the adds when they come in?

This macro might work

/cleartarget
/targetexact Pure Energy
/cast [harm,nodead] Lightning Bolt (Rank 1)
/stopmacro [harm,nodead]
/targetexact Vexallus

On your other shamans add in multiple /targetexact Pure Energy lines and this should give you separate targets on each. You can use Earth Shock if you want but if you hit one with all your shaman then you'll be stuck waiting on cooldown and die.

I used a shock macro for a while, but I went over to just manual targeting eventually.

Vexallus pops adds. I target add on the right side, cast chainlightning, and just quickly target the other add and shock it as chainlightning goes off. They both go down tops 2 seconds after spawning. I chainheal the team up if any damage has been taken, and point heal whoever got aggro, then resume dps. Havent done it in a long time tho, so I can't comment on the "stealthbuff vs shammy teams". Since earth elementals can properly tank him now, I don't see any problems with this fight.
