I made this mistake and just screwed over my progress. Just did the basic one, tried to get to Thrall and enough crap was blocking my way to drain over half my sanity. A lingering Shaman helped deal the rest but I probably wouldn’t have downed Thrall fast enough without it anyway.
I was about to compliment Blizzard on throwing healers some bones on the single player content, but they found a way to screw us over once more.
My main is an enh Shaman and I’m not confident I can solo them very well either. We have no survivability.
I got that impression too. It must be hell for healers and even tanks. I seriously doubt the vision scales depending on the spec in there. They can be done in a group tho so we’ll just chalk them up as m+ v2.0.
Seriously you can group up and it’s solo content so 100/100 you can expect to go your solo spec designed for smashing down mobs at the click of a button
If you’re one of those people that just wanted to play a healer you were doomed from the start
Why would you do a solo timed dungeon as a healer?
Just switch to shadow, complete it, and switch back.
(I might also add, don’t rush the door, it is blocked, take out the mobs 3 or so at a time or you will die)
They said it was like the mage tower, I remember having fun not playing dps for the mage tower.
Once you open the archive, you can get a “talent” that restores sanity up to 3 times. Should allow you to take it slow.
Isn’t there a food you can make that removes all insanity?
That I’m not sure, I didnt read up on the patch so everything I know is from my own experience 
Well I don’t know if that Org one changes based on spec, but I have completed it twice so far, and about to do the third as dps.
Don’t rush the door. I stick to the left side up to the door.
I don’t really know if that changes any for healers or tanks. Move left and right for Thralls smash, move out of the shadow thing, then in, then out for the mass aoe.
Thanks for the tips, planning on finally playing when I get home.
The shadow rings is like that one boss in battle for daz, where everyone had to avoid the shadow rings in big circles on the floor, and it alternated like a bullseye shape on the floor, inner, mid outer, way outer
I did the first one solo as a tank, but I just ran to thrall and killed the trash, then him. The second two I did with two dps friends, that was definately faster. If I were going to try to solo one and do any side objectives, I’d probably go boomkin.
Healers? go wtih friends, or go dps.
Because I’m stupid. I assumed because it was so downplayed in the Method video that the basic Thrall encounter was healer-soloable, heck I even guessed right he’d have around a millish HP, but no it’s not soloable…at least not in what’s essentially the tutorial encounter where you have zero sanity restoration mechanics.
Still, that puts me 1 behind the rest of my guild on what’s essentially a “gotcha”. Luckily I’d found a vessel randomly before even getting the cloak, and they give a vessel + 10k in subsequent quests, but I honestly felt like I got trolled the moment that encounter walloped me.
They’re completely fine as an enh sham
Just doing the main objective as a BM Hunter, it is fairly ok. Just have to destroy the totems before they destroy you. Thrall isn’t so bad… I’ve done all my runs solo, I’m not all that well geared, I skipped the last raid tier.
Still I know Hunters have advantages; I think shadow especially a geared shadow would do very well in there.
Horrific Visions are not Mage Tower 2.0.
They are however Withered Training 2.0 so shelf your healers and squishy DPS until you get tons of upgrades to smooth it out.
Earth Shield, earth elemental and a pretty decent heal has gotten me through content thus far. But I haven’t tried the Visions yet.
He never once said that. Might want to rewatch the video.
Feels really easy on hunter, I cleared a bonus area, all the npc’s + thrall with a sanity restoring orb left over at 420ish ilvl, I imagine some 440+ guys can squeeze out 2 areas.
