Heroic OHB Impossible?Follow

#1 Jun 05 2008 at 4:48 PM Rating: Decent
I am not the best mage in the world of WOW, but i do pretty well in most heroic instances, I just cannot get through heroic OHB, seems impossible, after getting Thrall, the mobs are just too much for any group I have been with. I am arcane, I make sure i sheep the caster and hit slow on at least one other, but no, failure every time, anyone have a strategy that works for them? I have done Heroic MGT and it seems Heroic OHB is just too hard. I also regret being changed to an Alliance member and being bald each time I do this :) I want Mana Etched from the last boss and it seems I will never have it.

What is the usual group you put together is it a PUG group or is it a organized guild group. Also is it something you are doing or someone else that causes your group to be wiped and if you find it is your self you might want to think about respecing unless you love arcane and know you can defeat anyone with it. Give info about fellow members and spec and armory and myself and others might be able to help completely.

If mana etched is your only goal, get the 4pc from the other 4 pieces and get the robe out of heroic MgT. OHB heroic is one hell of a ****** run and really not worth the effort, IMO. Only reason I can see to do it is that I've heard the Ironshield pot recipe has a higher droprate in heroic.

I ran Heroic OHB three times before the nerf, with the third group able to pull it off with just a couple of wipes. Oddly enough, it was after Thrall was released that I found the instance getting a bit easier. In my experience, it was the blasted lookouts with the short respawn timers that were the biggest problem.

Since regular OHB is my favorite instance, I was determined to finish it in Heroic. Once I succeeded, I swore the Heroic version of the instance off and have not even considered trying to do it again.

I would agree with Poldaran that once you are playing at this level, there are as good, if not better, chest pieces that can be had a bit easier. However, if you really want the mana-etched chest, I would recommend waiting until Heroic OHB is the daily and try to put together/get on a team in which all of the other members have not only been in Heroic OHB but have finished it as well.

Certainly not impossible, but it was the hardest before the nerf. Still pretty hard, as heroics go, now. I would suggest you take Poldaran's suggestion and sidestep it if it gives you trouble.
