I have over 50 attempts and I can’t even get past his first phase, like I know I suck at video games but jesus christ how can I not even kill the first phase. I have watched 5, I think, videos about this and all of them make it look so easy. I sunfire or moonfire the eyes when I see them, I try to pressure the main guy when I am not dealing with adds, I dot up the infernals when I can, I stop the vortex, I use the orbs when I need to. I just can’t get it at all, and it just keeps killing me over and over, I know I’m bad but I didn’t know I was this bad.
I don’t have the best gear in the world but still. I saw a guy in 220 gear do this (I’m 252) and he said he had never picked up guardian before that. They just make it seem so easy like it doesn’t even take effort, “just do the mechanics and it’s pretty easy” but I do the mechanics and I still just die. IDK if any tips can help me, but they are very appreciated.
PS: I am posting on this guy because it won’t let me post on my druid, but my druid’s name is Myskillisafk-Stormrage if anyone wants to look it up

Any way you can post a video of the attempts?

I mean maybe? It would take a while to record and upload but I could try. I’ll do 3-5 attempts then upload them when I can
EDIT: I just recorded it but I won’t be able to upload for a while as I am on hotspot and the upload speed is like 500 kb/s
2nd EDIT: `https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTH5Om7Wwh0&feature=youtu.be I’m sorry about the quality no clue why it is so low
Alrighty, I’ll take a look tomorrow. Going to bed now. Hopefully others can watch and chime in too. I have to familiarize myself with the encounter again so I can pick up what to improve on. We’ll help you out, no worries.
Update, I got Kruul to 10% not sure how I’m supposed to kill
EDIT: 20 wipes later and I’m wanting to just… idk I can’t swear on the forums. this is taking my will to play druid away tbh i cant believe how bad i suck
It’s a vey humbling experience. I like to think that I’m a pretty good druid too and it took me well over 200 tries.
This is cliche advice, but just keep at it.
You’ll get better each try and eventually get it.

Take a break.
Best advice I can give is work on your key binds so that your important spells are easily accessible. Build up that muscle memory.

Gratz, but i wouldn’t have gotten discouraged after 50 attempts. I think the avg number attempts it took people to down it was in the 100-200 range.
Well I took a 20 minute break to go get the trinket from EN and on first try I got a mythic warforged trinket so I beat it in the next 3 trys

You’ll get it. It took me most of a week to do it. I finally got lucky after a 7 hour session of wiping on a Saturday.
Food. Potions. Dps trinkets. Mop pvp gear with sockets.
That’s what I used.
It’s been a few months so no real advice I can give.
Edit: I see you got it. Congrats!

Grats man! And yeah honestly it took most people many many hours. I had a fair amount of attempts too. I finished it in like 2 hours but to be honest I did phase 1 in boomy form and I’m a heavy boomy main so my hours were mostly all spent on P2 
Taking a break is always good. Like saiyans. Ya gotta lose and let yourself recover. You’ll come back better

Grats! Bit late to the party but, those trinkets help a ton along with the guardian artifact (for enchants/oils) but practice and patience are very strong secondary requirements.
I have gotten this version of the fight I can get kruul down to as low as 9% (buffed) but get frazzled and my wrists hurting now but when I popped in after a few days for a practice fight I crushed phase 1 and got kruul to 19% unbuffed. (though notably I took the time to farm up all the socketed TBC gear and shoved +4 agil gems in there I farmed up myself, so I by default have something like 94 more agility than you)
Think knowing I can do it and being at the mercy of my body’s limitation is almost as annoying as the stupid ways iv died. (WHY CAN THE PURPLE BEAMS PUSH YOU THROUGH ORBS WITH OUT ACTIVATING THEM? Grrrr)

Yea this fight was super hard, but one thing I will tell you is get the trinket from the first boss in EN with feral loot spec, I had 100 attempts before I got it and got kruul to 10%, after getting the trinket I beat him in 3 trys. The trinket makes sooooo much of a difference!

Yeah its really nice especially in phase 1 sense the first guy just stands there and eats the entire duration of the AOE effect I just have to remember to keep using it anytime I can especially when skull bashing life drain sense im already there in the oreo of doom may as well leave him a present, with the exception of a few bits here and there (cloak doesnt have a socket, one right is kinda meh and the gaze trinket is a standard one) iv pretty much min maxed the tar out of my druid, so at this point its less about gear/talents and more about the player motivation lol.
In mage tower gear, and this is the same druid I did it in legion with.
Wow you are geared out the wazoo! I just pushed as much damage as I could with it. The first ad spawn I pull them into him and use trinket, 2nd ad wave I orb and dps, 3rd one trinket is up again and then I wait 2 more ad spawns to kill so I can kill the ads and kruul together with trinket.
https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/character/us/stormrage/myskillisafk I did it in this gear, plus the trinket from EN
I saw to some degree, was comparing my own SL gear (while in mage tower) and the timewalking/socket gear stats which in turn let me compare them to the stats you showed in your video (while in bear form later on) which were all close together for stam/armor but the agility and haste shifted wildly.
My biggest issue seems to be just getting flustered in phase 2 and losing track of incoming shockwaves (cause of kruuls big fat wings) and having trouble seeing orbs too. Last attempt I did before needing to give my wrist a break velen was nice enough to drop a orb I desperately needed smack dab inside one of kruuls green circles of doom so it was hard to see.
Yea I feel like the fight is a bit rng with orb timing, but if you do die at 2% the one girl will kill kruul, at least she did for me. I thought I wiped at 2% and I was gonna be so mad but then she smacked him for like a minute straight and finally got him
