Hmm your not the problem your pugs can't focus fire... if your not marking you should skull X Star Trianle if possible every pull in there. You tank skull and X <or get off tanker> then CC star and triangle. For the first boss you should build as much aggro as possbile then the first pop of adds kill them, you can mark if your fast enough but usually just get on the lowest healthed but tank stays on boss at all times, then if you have war, priest, lock fear the 2-4 sets of adds and its over. Its easy since I always go in a guild run with those classes. Oh if you wipe more than 3 times find the problem and replace it or just quit and find another group HATE NOOB PUGS

I've ran this a couple of times now. Have very few wipes, usually only when something goes wrong. (On my Pally, so I'm healing)

For the first boss I suggest to kill the two first waves of Elementals. A Lock can help Banish one. Save the Fears for the last wave at 25%. At that point just focus DPS and kill him, as the Elementals also go away I believe.

The pairs of guards, forgot their name, get increasingly hard toward the end of the instance and cause me the most trouble as a healer. In the last run I did, there was a Bear tank, Gunzaplenty, and he was getting brutally destroyed by those. He did great for the rest of the run so I'm guessing any tank will be blown to bits.

If you gave a link to your Armory we could perhaps see if there's something wrong with your gear or something.

Is it me, or is Gunzaplenty not that well geared for Heroics? Maybe he has some dps kitty gear on or something at the time I am inspecting- only RIGHT thing I see is Earthwarden

Ye gods...it's no wonder he was getting raped if that's his tank gear. I have more health and armor than that and I've only got one epic (pvp bracers). :x

There's 2 ways to do this boss on heroic I think.



Try to get a warlock. when first set of adds come, aoe taunt, have the warlock use seed of corruption on the boss, will kill the adds. Then either banish the shadow add (as it's immune to SoC) or have someone else kill it (hunter is good). Has most of your healers been pallies? They are horrible for this fight. Best bet is Priest for PoH and fade, Druid (Traq is godly on this and HoT everyone), or shaman (chain heals and earth totem is great, not to mention heroism on the bosses = ez mode).


Second thing you could do like others have suggested, is just fear adds, and burn boss, but if you are doing this, armory ALL your dps, and make sure you have a ton of it.

Another side note. I Love paladin tanks for this. They can hold the adds on the first boss. and you dont need as much CC later on.

I had the same problem on the first boss, one of my groups disbanded because of him. I do recommend burning down the elementals, as everyone has suggested. My first group refused to, and it was horrendous. The elemental damage debuff + aura damage will cause massive death after the fear. In Heroic it just did not seem feasible to fear bomb and burn him down quickly.

We had a druid healer, so the elementals would always immediately break for him after they spawned. Our strategy was to leave him back in the hallway, and place traps between the pedastal and him. Generally that could catch 2 of the elementals as they ran, then the DPS would burn down the last. I always grabbed the frost ele as it spawned to make sure it did not waste a trap.

This strategy worked very smoothly, but not everyone has 2 hunters in the party. Warlocks could work equally well if they know what they are going to banish and are quick on the uptake, or you could fear bomb and then burn them down.

Ravenguard are absolutely brutal. Casting Barkskin before the pull I was still being pummeled into the ground. We lived, but it was a close scrape every time.
