Re: [MoP] MoP Progression Thread Yeah, platform is the key mechanic of the fight...that and not letting too many adds stack up on Sha's platform.
Make sure everyone knows to los the fan of knives type ability that the platform dude has and just unload on him as much as possible. The faster you kill him the more smoothly the fight goes. |

(Actually, I should say, being killed, it took 3 of them to kill me ^_^) |

 | What a rough night... don't you hate those days where everyone's just *off* and it's brick wall after brick wall.
Ended up not getting back to Sha because our "quick" HoF clear ended up taking all night (along with not having time to do Empress). Looks like we'll have to wait for next week's raids to push for the 16/16 mark.
People just kept doing all kinds of "well, that's a wipe" stuff lol. Many thanks to Arsinic though for coming along with us to fill in for our MIA healer. -- Eumaeus, Guardian/Feral PvP Druid GM - Lux ex Tenebris - Sargeras | Alliance [6/6] MSV [6/6] HoF [3/4] ToES |

 | Garalon has died!
Wind Lord to 48%, we were well ahead of the enrage, but someone stepped in a bomb....

 JBEveryday Normal Guy join:2009-05-14 | reply to Cptbeatstix Oh, I know, we got behind on one of the platforms and no1 stepped in to tank, anyways that was our first night.
Last night we downed Sha. 2nd or 3rd attempt, so it took us about 15 attempts or so, solid. 16/16N on to H now. |

I thought you and Steve had aggro on Garalon when I charged in.  -- From Psychonauts - Lungfish Civilian: (describing Goggalor) He's impervious to bullets! ... and love! -- |

 Arsinic join:2011-02-17 Ruffs Dale, PA | reply to Eumaeus My priest is so scrub Glad I was able to halp. I'm sure if you guys would have gotten that 1 last pull in you'd have finished HOF easy peasy. |
|
 | reply to Goggalor Haha it was a very brave charge indeed. You're right I did have aggro when you charged, he just applies his first pheromone based on proximity so he spewed his beetle goo on you just for being closer.
It was pretty sad that the one time we had a premature hearthstone was the one night our warlock died to the internet availability boss lol. |

 JBEveryday Normal Guy join:2009-05-14 | reply to Eumaeus Amber Shaper sucks ass. We tried to clean up HoF after killing Sha, wiped a bunch of times due to construct fails. Oh well. |

I have only ever once been turned into a construct in that fight, which was last night, when we actually downed Amber shaper as the last of the raid died. 
I was listening to DBM countdown thinking that was when I was needing to interrupt, but the countdown was for when the cast was going to happen, so I missed the interrupt because I had used it too early.  -- From Psychonauts - Lungfish Civilian: (describing Goggalor) He's impervious to bullets! ... and love! -- |

 s1deoutGeek4LifePremium join:2003-12-10 Troy, OH kudos:1 | reply to JB Downed Wind Lord last nite. 3 shot him . We are now 4/6 HoF. Doing Amber Shaper on Thursday and hopefully we can finish out this raiding week 6/6 HoF and move onto ToES next week. |
|
 | Nice work! We're hoping to down Wind Lord Thursday night! Keeping my fingers crossed that we're able to get through Wind Lord and flesh out the Amber Shaper fight, so next week we can clear out HoF. |

 GoggalorPsychonautPremium join:2009-06-09 Your Mind! kudos:1 | reply to s1deout Gratz! With Garalon downed, you should be able to do the rest of HoF more easily. With HoF done, ToES should be a breeze (except for Sha). |

 | reply to JB Had a really great run last night - we got our Sha of Fear kill bringing us to 16/16N and then went in and cleared 4/6 HoF for the week all in our 3 hour window!
Planning to go wipe up Amber Shaper / Empress on Thursday and then start working on heroic Mogu'shan. Would love to have a handful of heroic kills before 5.2!
On Sha of Fear, one thing that really helped us was an add killing strategy. Say the first Cackle group is sent to the left platform. Those remaining ONLY killed the right side adds then focused on the boss. When the Cackle group came back, they used their buff and fear immunity to wipe up all the adds on their side really quickly. Rinse and repeat always killing just the adds opposite from the cackle group and we never had an add pileup. Ended up killing Sha at about 11:30 minutes or so fight duration with everyone up! -- Eumaeus, Guardian/Feral PvP Druid GM - Lux ex Tenebris - Sargeras | Alliance [16/16N] [0/16H] MVS/HoF/ToES |

 DarkLogixTexan and ProudPremium join:2008-10-23 Baytown, TX kudos:3 | Sounds like a good fight for double hero. |
|
 | You're totally correct there! First hero on the pull and we had a 2nd hero just before the boss died. Maybe was at 8-10% or so. |
|
 DarkLogixTexan and ProudPremium join:2008-10-23 Baytown, TX kudos:3 | With that fight I'd also make sure people double pot.
Hit one just before the pull and one on the later hero. -- »Death Star Petition |

 JBEveryday Normal Guy join:2009-05-14 | reply to Eumaeus Grats man, heroic cats is easier than a handful of normal fights. We killed it in about 10 or so attempts, too many dumb melee pwning each other by mines. |
