The Burning Dog Crater -- Raidlist and other fun things for Cataclysm

The Game Room
21

Well fuck it, then.

22

I know what you mean about PuG runs. Technically, I lucked out and got stuck in another server guild group run for Vortex Pinnacle and it still took us an hour and a half to get through the thing. I learned that I do have the healing throughput to keep everyone alive if stuff is CC’d properly though, which was what I was worried about based on all the QQing on the wow forums. Sadly, not a single leather piece dropped the entire dungeon. :frowning:

23

As heals, DPS, or tank? It’s also possible that they just wanted to bring a friend in. Doesn’t it give you the reason they listed for the kick?

I don’t think people are ignoring you, Quasi–this is just more of a thread for organizing guild runs of dungeons and raids. Plus, some people just aren’t comfortable sharing their photos; those of us who are have probably already uploaded ours.

24

Quasi, I’m already photoed…not much to look at though…I was swirling beer in my mouth while watching the Dodger game when that photo was taken at a Dopefest.

25

It’s Monday - are folks gonna be around tonight to run some 5-mans? I want to make a push for 85 on Keyne, although realisitically it probably won’t happen until Wednesday. We could even do some low-level dungeons if folks have alts they want to work on.

26

Not for me. Putting in as much overtime as possible today so I can spend a reasonable amount of time with my family when they arrive tomorrow.

27

I should be there tonight…only have done ToT, but am game for new ones. Haven’t discovered any other new dungeons though, so let me know what I should be doing or where to go if we are gonna try something else. I’m at level 83 now, and have totally finished Hyjal questing.

BTW…I will be buying oodles and oodles of Obsidium Ore to prospect for the JC dailies, so let me know if you have oodles and oodles to sell. I could also trade Volatile Fire for it as well if you need it.

28

Also not making it tonight. Should be better in the new year. Been working on my druid in case I can get some tanking gear. But knowing me, I’m dps first :slight_smile:

29

Copied and edited slightly from a post at my guild’s forum, here’s an excellent cheat sheet for the new Cataclysm instances. Unfortunately it does not contain info for H-SFK or H-VC, but I’ve run both of those myself and can offer suggestions if anybody needs them. I may at some point create a post for those myself, but I can’t do it from work since I don’t have access to Wowhead.

THRONE OF TIDES: 80-82

[spoiler]To find this you go to Vashj’ir (from SW), Abyssal Depths (western half), and into the Abyssal Breach (swirly thing in the middle) for the instance hub.

  • Enslave - MCs the player with highest threat, broken when player reaches below 50% hp
  • Mind Flay - 2000 damage to all players

Notes:

  • Erunak starts off MC’d so you first bring him to 50% hp
  • Then the Mindbender appears for you to kill
  • DPS whoever’s MC’d to release them
    OZUMAT

This is a “save Neptulon from a crap load of adds” fight.

Phase 1:

  • Deep Murloc Invader - AoE fodder
  • Vicious Mindlasher - Shadowbolts and interrupts, kill ASAP
  • Unyielding Behemoth - Shadow Blasts (20K aoe around them w/ knockback) and frontal cone attack, Tank grab and kite them

Phase 2:

  • Unyielding Behemoth - Same deal
  • Blight Beast - Aura of Dread (2K shadow damage and increases shadow damage taken by 50%, stacks), tank taunt kites them too
  • Faceless Sapper - 3 spawns, kill ASAP, they do a DoT that kills Neptulon
  • Ozumat - Blight of Ozumat, leaves a dark area on ground doing 300 damage per second DoT, stacks

  • Phase 1 - On some timer, dps focus on Mindlashers, aoe Murlocs, tank kites Behemoth
  • Phase 2 - 3 Faceless Sappers, kill ASAP to end phase; Tank kites Behemoth and Blight Beasts; Also avoid void zones (Blight)
  • Phase 3 - Neptulon is free, buffs you all up (+500% hp, damage, healing) to kill the remaining adds and Ozumat[/spoiler]
    =================================================================
    BLACKROCK CAVERNS: 80-82
    =================================================================

[spoiler]First off to find the place (to unlock your Looking for Dungeon), inside Blackrock Mountain, if you use the normal path to get to Blackrock Spire, not the jumping on ledge way to avoid mobs way… By the summoning stone, go in there, turn right instead of left.
ROM’OGG BONECRUSHER

  • Quake - Slams the ground doing 9000 physical damage to all enemies over 3 seconds
  • Skullcracker - Deals 95,000 to 105,000 damage to all nearby enemies
  • Wounding Strike - Does 125% weapon damage and leaves the MS effect (-25% healing) for 6 seconds

Notes:

  • Some high spike damage to tank, use CDs

  • Quake is like the goo explosion on Rotface, sorta, where you were standing is where the damage will be, so move from that spot

  • Skullcracker is cast just after he pulls everyone close and chains them; Target those chains and kill them to free yourselves, then run, or die

  • Heroic: Adds will spawn; use his Skullcracker to kill them by rooting them in place or having tank run out at last second
    CORLA, HERALD OF TWILIGHT…

  • Aura of Acceleration - Increasing movement by 50% and attack speed by 100% to nearby allies

  • Dark Command - Causes a target to flee for 4 seconds, and does 28000 shadow damage over the duration

  • Blood of the Evolved - Coats their weapons, granting 30% chance to deal 2975 to 4025 physical damage when bleed effects damage the target
  • Force Blast - Inflicts 6300 to 7700 to target, knocking them back
  • Gravity Strike - Inflicts damage equal to 70% of the target’s HP, and briefly reduces their AP by 1000
  • Grievous Whirl - Deals 7125 to 7875 physical damage and a bleed that does 750 damage every 2 seconds til fully healed
  • Shadow Strike - Appears behind enemy and strikes for 35000 shadow damage

Notes:

  • The Netherspite fight from Kara

  • Starts with 2 adds, harmless but big purple beam will turn them into lethal Evolved Zealots

  • Standing in the beam will prevent transformation

  • Standing in the beam gives you a debuff that stacks to 100 where you get MC’d.

  • Buddy up, alternate taking the beam to prevent transformation and being MC’d or do some beam dancing in and out like Netherspite

  • Your stacks will fall faster than adds will build after you move out of beam, so works best to stack to 80, move out and drop stacks, then move back in again when stacks are cleared

  • Heroic: 3 adds/beams instead of 2
    KARSH STEELBENDER

  • Obsidian Armor - Nearly impervious to all damage at normal temperatures, reduces damage taken by 99%

  • Superheated Obsidian Armor - Loses damage mitigation properties, but deals additional fire damage per stack, increases damage taken by 10% per stack, stacks to 100

  • Heat Wave - Inflicts 1000 fire damage to nearby enemies per stack of Superheated Obsidian Armor

  • Burning Metal - Inflicts fire damage to target, 1000 fire damage per stack of Superheated Obsidian Armor

Notes:

  • A bit of an Ignis fight, well his adds maybe
  • There’s a big fire/lava pit in the room, take him in there so you can start doing damage
  • But not too long or he starts killing everyone with the stacks of fire damage, 5-6 stacks seem to be good
  • When his stacks fall off, the lava crate ignites in flame, don’t stand on it

Heroic:

  • Immediately take boss to 10-12 stacks as fast as the healer can deal with (remember you will get AOE damage at the moment each stack is added)

  • Burn boss as much as possible at this point, popping CDs as soon as his stacks get high

  • When stack falls off, adds will spawn; kill adds before stacking his armor again

  • Adds drop fire puddles on the ground that will cause his armor to stack, so make sure he’s not standing in them if you don’t want him to be stacking; however, they can be easier to kite him in and out of than the forge itself

  • Once adds are down, begin stacking the boss again as slowly as possible while you burn him down the rest of the way

  • Be careful not to let the stacks fall off again or you will get another add phase, which will probably wipe you
    BEAUTY

  • Berserker Charge - Charges, knocks back, does 7863 to 9137 physical damage

  • Flamebreak - 6013 to 6987 fire damage to nearby enemies, knocks back

  • Magma Spit - 3400 to 4600 fire damage to enemy, sets them on fire causing additional 4000 fire damage every 3 seconds, explodes when removed

  • Has 4 pups with her, can be pulled before and killed, but Runty’s death will cause her to Berserk

  • Pups also able to do fire breath leaving a fire puddle (void zone) on the ground doing 2K per second, stacks per pup

  • Heroic: Adds and boss are a linked pull (not including Runty); CC or burn pups before dealing with boss
    ASCENDENT LORD OBSIDIUS

  • Stone Blow - Attack that increases melee damage by 50% and knocks target down

  • Thunderclap - 7500 to 8500 nature damage to nearby enemies, slowing movement attack cast speeds by 35% for 8 seconds

  • Transformation - Possesses one of his shadows

  • Twilight Corruption - Inflicts 4000 shadow damage every 2 seconds for 12 seconds

Notes:

  • Starts with 3 shadow adds, they do a healing reduction on their target that adds up to almost 100% when all are on one person
  • They must be kited / rooted / snared, immune other CC’s, and threat is based on last one to hit them
  • Obsidius randomly switches places with one of the shadows wiping all threat, so don’t kite too far or you could die[/spoiler]

Part 2: Grim Batol, Halls of Origination, and Lost City of the Tol’Vir

=================================================================
GRIM BATOL: 85

[spoiler]Find this one at the Twilight Highlands. The instance starts off with a bombing run just after the first few packs of trash. Be sure to coordinate mounting the drakes, because seeing where your party members are attacking can help you to focus your fire.

    =================================================================
    HALLS OF ORIGINATION: 85
    =================================================================

[spoiler]Another instance in Uldum, east side of the zone. If you’re using the RDF, the instance will be “complete” after killing any two bosses after Anhuur and Anraphet, so choose which two to kill based on the drops you need, if you don’t trust that your group will stay intact past completion. (Note that you also cannot fill empty slots using the RDF for an instance that is officially completed, so if anyone drops before you kill the extra bosses, you will have to fill their spot manually if you want to continue.)

  • Spread out to minimize Divine Reckoning heals

  • Avoid Searing Light

  • Every minute or so, Shield of Light goes up; players must jump into pit and hit switches to the left and right to deactivate it

  • Pit Vipers are in the pit, ignore them and hit switches ASAP, then bring what you aggro back up to be aoe killed ASAP. Tank taunts or healer aggro might help mitigate damage

  • Best strat is NOT to interrupt Reverberating Hymn after first switch phase, but just burn the boss as he channels it while the healer keeps everyone up through the stacking damage; this works even on Heroic

  • Celestial Call (divided form) - Inflicts 9274 arcane damage to enemy

Notes:

  • Occassionally casts the Supernova for you to not look at

  • At 30%, splits into the 2 remaining forms, again, kill one to end the phase, removing that ability from the fight, and you kill the boss with its final ability left in its strongest form.[/spoiler]

  • Heroic: Will appear again after Lockmaw is dead; kill him for your loot
    HIGH PROPHET BARIM…

  • Fifty Lashings - Next 10 attacks gains Five Lashings - increasing normal damage done by 5000

  • Plague of Ages - Does ~8000 damage to a player with additional 4000 damage every 2 sec for 9 seconds, jumps to nearby player when expires or cleansed

  • Heaven’s Fury - Summons it to do about 15K damage to all within 12 yards of it

  • Repentence - Pulls players to him and stuns them, initiating next phase with…

  • Hallowed Ground - Deals 8K damage to players that stand in it

and HARBRINGER OF DARKNESS

  • Soul Sever - Rips fragment of your soul, summoning a weak add
  • Wail of Darkness - 5K damage to a player
  • Wail of Darkness (diff version) - Does 20K damage to all players when killed, ending phase

Notes:

Phase 1:

  • Prepare for some tank spike damage
  • Spread out to minimize plague jumping
  • Stay away from glowing pillars of fire
  • Phase ends at 50%, and you’re ported to spiritual realm

Phase 2:

  • Tank pick up Harbringer ASAP (purple phoniex)
  • Barim is immune to damage and is standing on a big void zone you shouldn’t stand on
  • Tank should kite Harbinger away from adds while DPS switches to them ASAP
  • Kill Harbringer to end phase, repeat Phase 1

Heroic:

  • Additional Phoenix add during Phase 1
  • Should be kited by a ranged DPS and killed; will leave a trail of fire on the ground
  • Returns to an egg when killed and will eventually respawn; don’t bother to DPS egg, just return to kiting/killing when it spawns again

SIAMAT

  • Deflecting Winds - Spell deflection increased by 90%, damage taken decreased by 90%
  • Absorb Storms - gathers energy from storms for Gathered Storms - deals 2K nature damage to enemies every 2 seconds
  • Storm Bolt - Inflicts 9K nature damage to an enemy, 2.18 sec cast
  • Wailing Winds - Knocks enemies into the air dealing 3K damage per second, slows movement
  • Storm Clouds - Does Cloud Burst dealing 18K nature damage to enemies within 5 yards knocks back
  • Minion of Siamat - Does Chain Lightning up to 5 targets, increasing with each jump. Minion disappates over time
  • Servant of Siamat - Does Lightning Nova - pulse of energy that deals 11500 nature damage to enemies within 10 yards. And Thunder Crash - charges up to release a 25K nature damage attack to an enemy

Notes:

  • Storm Clouds rotate around Siamat, avoid them
  • Will put up Deflecting Winds just after pull and stand in the center shooting Storm Bolts
  • So go deal with adds, focus on Servants since Minions will despawn on their own
  • After Deflecting Winds, focus on boss again, aoe damage will ramp up with Wailing Winds and Absorb Storms[/spoiler]

Thanks, SFG.

Yeti – Stonecore is every easy to discover. If you follow the breadcrumb quests to Deepholm, you start at the bottom of a tower (“Temple of the Earth” I think) in the middle of the zone. The instance portal is about 2/3 of the way up the tower, on the west side.

I also found Blackrock Caverns inside Blackrock Mountain, right by the Blackrock Spire summoning stone. Just go a bit down the hallway next to the BRS stone and you’ll see the entrance on your right. RDF hasn’t put me in that one yet though.

Those are the three I have (including ToT). I’ll probably try to discover the ones I’m missing tonight. I’ll also have to check the guild vault to see if you put anything in there I need :slight_smile:

32

Three of 'em are in Uldum. Muz has everything but Grim Batol and Blackrock Caverns now.

33

Perfect, I’ll be finishing up Deepholm and heading to Uldum tonight.

34

Waxoff and (eventually) Ghastliar will be ready for Monday night dungeons starting next week. Merry Winter Veil!

35

I likely missed it: what server are you guys on? I just got the whole pack for Xmas and when I grow up I’d like to join.

36

Cairne, Horde side.

37

Excellent, thank you.

38

Welcome. Love Rhombus!

39

Thanks! I’ve played before, I’m just relearning it. I’m playing a goblin priest named Koloss and a Forsaken hunter named Ghoulag if anyone wants to say hi.

Is anyone going to be around tonight (Monday) to try some heroics? I’d like to try healing one, but I’m not confident enough to pug one yet. Do we have any tanks that are ready?
