Compared to the other TW dungeons this place is all over in terms of how well it goes. Most of the times groups fall apart at the ramp, some times the tank can just face roll the entire thing. If you are going to make the dungeons hard (annoying) then do it across the board…dont have this one dungeon sprinkled in thats way over tuned for something any1 and every1 has access to.
/rant over
Last boss particularly sucks.
I remember when this dungeon was added in the Lich King expansion.
Groups learned quickly that this wasn’t just another, “gather everything and AoE,” dungeon.
Once a TW group gets the, “slow and CC,” mentality, it’ll go perfectly smooth without a single change needed.
Don’t need to CC, but it can help on the hill to the gauntlet.
Last boss though can kiss my rear end.
He’s pretty tough and he hits like a dump truck.
But once the tank learns to kite, he becomes a pushover.
I know how to kite, I just had multiple frost patches despawn under me, he caught up, and I ate pavement.
For last boss just make sure hes bein led over frost patches
And as for the ramp issue its not too bad if you just tell people to interrupt the ones casting fireball before ya pull…
or if your groups particularly coordinated you can mount up after 2nd boss and run past them at the same time while they aren’t attackable to skip the first 2 groups (will prolly wipe you if you do it wrong tho)
the third group you can run around by hugging the left wall anyway, and then its just the 4th group to deal with
Stop DPS when you get the red beam on you
Put a frozen patch between you and the boss if you get targeted but does suck when they happen to spawn under you.
It’s been a timewalking dungeon since wod. The same people who have played it since then are now suddenly forgetting the mechanics? How exactly does that work?
I tanked this so many times when it was current, even then people were anxious to rush in and ignore mechanics. My tank was a dk and I’d yank the fireball guys in, I gave up trying to rush past them on the ramp. The last boss wasn’t a big deal with gear levels then, just a lot of kiting as others have said.
I think we need more deadly dungeons like this, might get me to tank them again.
He is not that bad. I guess for new tanks he would be if they have never done him in the past.
Probably they should stop promoting it as entertainment for all if it is no longer intended to be entertaining or rewarding.
The tunnel before Tyrannus is too much for 99% of the healers to heal through.
PoS requires 3 things. !) A tank that isn’t going to superhero pull an entire floor of mobs. 2) A group that somewhat knows what the heck they are doing. 3) People that are willing to work with some cohesion. It’s not a roflstomp dungeon.
Not if you know how to avoid the Enrage it does.
Just use the ice around to slow the boss so it doesn’t melee you.
Had this one day or so ago. It feels like stuff hits harder than it did when it was current but that might just be players were outgearing it back in WOTLK era. Had some newbs who didn’t know what they were doing die but otherwise we got through it.
For some the challenge is the reward and entertainment. I can neither confirm nor deny that it’s fun to watch dps die when they don’t listen.
So what is promoted as entertainment for the masses should actually be designed to entertain sadistic elitists?
How many of them are actually spamming these dungeons and how many are merely in the forum posting on decades past experiences?
It’s not actually you dying it’s your character and they don’t actually die they just deres then res. The fun part is the strategic aspect, which has given way to a rush mentality.
How many people who are upset with life sit on the forums and insult others when they disagree with their opinion?
At least when you caught it in WOTLK it did reward better. Thinking it dropped loot equal to 25 man Uldar at the time? Think trial of the crusader dungeon dropped 10man uldar loots. I might be off been a long time.
