Portal Jockey - Do this with 4 healers, if possible. If you feel safe doing it, you could have your OT taunt off aswell, but then you have to make sure no one uses any abilities that deal even incidental AoE damage. This does mean your MT will not have a lot of threat, so be careful. We had a hunter kite the deformed around and our OT simply kept aggro on the other mobs and ran around.
Empowered adherents don't count, by the way, so feel free to kill those. This one can be very frustrating if you don't get the right mobs turned. The abom still has to eat the goo, but this does give him time to help out with DPS more, hurrying the fight along.įull House - First, pray to your god of choice to make the RNG kind. If you're not well geared bump this up a bit, as I imagine that, for a non-horribly overgeared group, this one could be pretty painful. Nausea, Heartburn, Indigestion - Simply don't slow the slimes. Furthermore, if you're short on DPS the Enrage timer might become troublesome. Nothing to hard, per se, but if you skip over 30 (say, having a 29 merge with a 2 giving you 31), you fail it, and it takes a bit of time. Just remember to turn it off if you're not doing the achievement or you'll see massive amounts of spam.īeen Waiting a Long Time for This - Have the first person who gets the plague dispel it outside the group and just stack the remaining diseases. To combat this, I reccomend the addon Smorgasbord. We lost this one week because someone lagged and didn't notice he blew the stacks. When this tanks' stacks were gone, he'd shout out to kill the Ice Block and run in and taunt, the other tank going to the next ice block. As soon as his stacks went off he'd run in and taunt, the previous tank would take cover behind the ice block. We played normally until phase 3, where the second tank would take cover behind the first Ice Block. All of these were done on Normal mode, except for Gunship.Īll You Can Eat - By far, the most frustrating achievement. Sorry for the wall of text, but I want to clear up the idea that "LOL I HAS UBER GEAR, THIS'LL BE EASY".Ĭomment by 24756Having done these achievements a few weeks ago with our heavily overgeared group, I figured I should make a list and quick recap of tactics for each of the individual achievements. You can even check RAWR to see what gear and enchants/gems are best upgrades for your spec. There are guides out there for gearing any class/spec combination. Along the way, you'll get the gear you need to do this. My advice: find a good permanent raid group to go with, clear the whole raid including Arthas (necessary for heroic modes anyhow), then practice each fight to perfection. That takes a raid that has the dps, coordination and planning ahead to do this. For a dps to get the achievement if they have no off spec role (switching with a healer or tank, which locks can't do), two things must happen: the fight must end before the 3rd round of biting AND one of the players in 2nd round must bite a healer or another dps instead of you.
The battle must be over before the 4th round of bites. 3rd round all dps and healers will be bitten (4 bites x 2 = 8 vampires + 2 non-bitten tanks). Then that player bites one other ranged, on the 2nd round of bites the two ranged bite the last two ranged (or 1-2 melee as case may be). The standard fight strategy has the first bitten be a ranged dps. If you understand the fight mechanics (and you should for ALL fights to begin trying for the drake), you'll know that this is extremely hard for a ranged dps to get. Many of the fights require a perfect battle from start to finish to get this. It means squat if you have the best gear in the game if you have three others in the raid that insist on standing in fire/acid/slime for one second too long. The majority of the achievements for the meta require FIRST AND FORMOST a great raid composition and coordination. If you're gunning for the drake, your gear should be your last concern.
Comment by LorathThe honest answer is probably months.
