BTW I'll be running WoL, would be cool if you do too. (do the live logging thing.

after LFR 1-4 I had a 260MB log file lol. luckily I didn't have to upload it because it was live logging.

In LFR most of the times somebody makes one step forward and pulls the trash, I've even seen warlocks put cookie things further ahead so people start moving to get own by these mobs.

DarkLogix posted : Are you talking about windlord? or platform guy?

on windlord people need to grab the spears and use them to CC 4 mobs (and no more)

leave 1 mender up and mark it for first kill. (all like adds share a health pool) so when the marked mender dies all menders die.

Also interrupt the mender.

How the hell to you tank the first pulls in HoF with the mobs that break your armor, is just a dps burn thing or the tanks need to do anything?

What I've started doing on my pally is to bubble when I reach 4 stacks to get rid of them and then taunt back from Ant but I can do that only once because of the CD.

McBrain posted : Downed this dude in 10m last night with ~30 sec to spare on the enrage timer. We split into 2 tens because we only had 22 raiders online last night. Some loot is better than no loot, right?

Here was our group make-up:

Prot Pally
Blood DK
Fury Warrior
Ele Sham
BM Hunter
SV Hunter
Fire Mage (me)
Resto Druid
MW Monk
Disc Priest

We had 4 kiters and took the debuff to 20 stacks before a switch(Pally, DK, Druid, Shaman). We used Blood Lust at the start when the Pally was kiting, and he didn't pass his Pheremones debuff until Lust fell off (preventing a crush from taking 2-3 seconds of the buff from us), this meant that the initial kiter took ~23 stacks of the debuff. We only targeted three of the four legs, leaving the front left to be killed by cleaves (eventually it died). We made sure that we were in the weakspots of the legs as much as possible, this was tough for the back right leg at times since it goes out of los when it's against the stairs. The priest was DPSing as much as possible. And the DK was in DPS gear but tank spec, attacking the boss and cleave leg while eating the boss's cleaves with the pally.

It took us 8 attempts to get our kill, the first seven were marred with bad legs spawns, careless debuff swaps, mistimed blood lust casts, and our priest being holy. Once we settled on the best debuff and bloodlust strategy and the priest swapped to disc, it took us 2 tries to get a kill. The first try failed because of some extra crushes and bad rng from the legs spwaning. The kill came when we didn't fuck up debuff swaps and we got favorable spawns from the legs.

djlar posted : Yeah, perhaps I should tell the RL to leave me a leg or 2 for myself to burn while the rest focuses on the boss, specially ranged, we had a pally with ret gear and prot spec doing decent damage and taking the swipes, so no problem on the rest of the group.

We usually have 3 legs only to work with, there's always one out of LOS nobody can hit, it takes several seconds for boss to cast mend on legs, RNG dictates it's always the furthest leg from the melee. I try to stay on the back and it mends the front leg by the time I get there (avoiding trails of course) the leg is almost dead..

Vinceruos_t posted : Oh and for all the mages out there def use incanters ward/absorb on this fight. So much steady AOE damage going out you can maintain the buff the whole time so you dont have to worry about channleing or stupid ground circles. And for the start of the fight you can pretty much solo a leg by yourself. So what we do is have all DPS focus the back right leg and I go in and solo the back left leg by myself. If you pre-pot and have incanters ward along with your trinket and all your procs with alter time you can get off a beefy combustion and kill the leg almost as fast as they kill the other leg. Maybe our dps is just bad though. lol

Re: [MoP] Heart of Fear and Garalon

Tue, 13 Nov 2012 14:16:21 EDT

Vinceruos_t posted : That is what we do. We have myself (fire mage) and a combat rogue on cleave duty. Then the rest of range stack and burn body unless one of the legs spawns near and they can easily help out now and then. As a fire mage I have no problem with the movement and maintaining buff. Just have to scorch a lot. I still finished at number 1 on recount and just about tied w our combat rogue at I believe around 160-170k dps. That was in 10 man normal.

Nick D posted : There's a theory where you leave one leg alive and designate your cleavers to that leg only. So unless you're cleave stacking (in which case ... even easier?), you'd have cleaving to the boss for a long time.

That strat might not be as good since they fixed cleaves getting the 100% damage boost to the body also.

said by Vinceruos_t:

I saw a few rogues post talking about how they went assassinate for this fight... You need to be combat for this fight, no exceptions. When you kill a leg you do realize that you are damageing his total HP too right? Combat rogues, arms warriors, and fire mages are the best dps on this fight for a reason. As a matter of fact I am pretty sure its almost imossible to hit enrage on this fight if you dont have either a combat rogue or fire mage for normal atleast with current gear levels.

The issue we see is there's a lot of idle time between legs spawning, at tleast the ones you want to hit, for combat it's a huge DPS loss as single target damage is rather low, did 150K dps on the pull when we killed 3 legs, thereafter it went down to 78K levels then even less when only one or no legs were available to be hit, then you have to use feint constantly to reduce damage a bit, recuperate also helps.

In our comp we had the fire mage and 2 locks, one destro and one affilction that were the ones destroying the legs.

So typical recount was say 20M damage to legs and only 5M damage to body with the cleave and all. Switched to muti and was about 10M to legs and 12M to body... the legs go down so fast the benefit of cleaving quickly dissapears..
