It took my group 4 tries just to get him down on regular mode.

So no need to rush. I stay max melee range and just run out asap. Groups have been quick to get close to each other after that(we didn’t stack up, there is no need).

My last 2 runs on HoL we had a pally healer. Looked pretty solid to me. Weve gotten the 2H axe lately, which was the reason were running it.

Just that it is not impossible as we managed to down him on the 5th attempt of the first time we tried him on heroic.

I’m guessing this fight really only hurts paladin healers, being the only class without a strong AoE heal. Though I guess disc priests could learn to hate it too.

Interesting that the two people who say it’s easy are a CoH priest and a resto shaman – the two best AoE healers. The run that inspired this post had a paladin (Granted, beacon, but it’s no chain heal) and no hunter.

Thanks for making my point for me :)

He is probably harder than most other heroic bosses but with a good AOE healer and strong DPS, it is doable. The tank does not matter so much with him.
A nice strategy is not to move at all and down him as fast as possible before the healer runs oom (plus you get an achievement for downing it under 2 minutes ^ ^). This way, DPS are not interrupted every few seconds by the need of running away.

We tried 5 times before we got him down, running in and out to avoid his AOE but it did not work very well. On the last attempt, we did not move at all and I (CoH priest) just spammed group heals: Circle of Healing, Prayer of Healing, Prayer of Mending and dropped a lightwell near the place we fought him.
Hunter had Nature Resistance on and everyone tried to max their HPs to survive throughout the fight. Our group was not greatly geared either: mostly blues and a few purple here and there.
