My guild just completed this achievement in 10man (on only our 2nd attempt, no less) and we found that the toughest part of the fight was the DPS burn on the heart. We were pretty close to the timer on both attempts, but after that, the additional effects of Light and Gravity Bombs really aren't very difficult to deal with. Lots of raid healing and DPS required, sure, but still fairly easy once you know what to expect.
in terms of setup, we used 1 tank and 1 dps DK in frost presence for the life spark so it doesnt one shot a clothie but allows him to continue dpsing. We used 5 healers, myself and another druid, and holy priest, and a disc priest and shaman on MT (whom would also CH melee during tantrum). 2 ret pallys rotate divine sacrifice during the tantrums, making it fairly easy to heal. melee deals with life spark which is tanked just infront of the boss
With whatever great setup these guys have (system-wise) the graphics are so much better than what I'm rollin' with that it seems a totally different game!
My 10 man group progressed with XT by tanking him at the foot of the stairs. We started taking him down regularly. Then someone showed us the strategy of tanking him between the piles for our 25 man and we've been tanking him at those piles in 10 man ever since. Personally, I understand that it's easier, but I feel liked the experience has been cheapened for me. I know that I'm not going to get any support from my group, but it's just how I feel.
Look at the start of the fight (when I wrote that comment 0:15 their is a red bar that it "pull aggro" and then another red bar that is a DK, the recount is on the right side of the threat meter.
I'm a Rogue and I use it just to not have to use raid frames or party frames. I get rid of them and use grid instead. Even in 5mans. SOOOO much space cleared.
The only things I see a lot of guilds having trouble with here is getting the heart down in that DPS race and making sure to drop the gravity bombs in the correct locations.
That was hotfixed Nuleariasi....they intend for you to be able to tank him on the side and also for no robots to spawn during hard mode.....all better now and this video still rocks
can you make a vid of the woman encounter most guilds are having trouble with it including my own. I've pulled with my "sup" macro wich seems to be effective in phase 1 of each rotation. we fail about 30 seconds in when all of our dps dies because our priests dont know how to mind control or shackle the rampant adds. and our raid then clumps together then gets green beamed for over 9000 damage. this effect bounces through all members within 10 yards of course.
the bar is brown, so its a warrior winning :), but its not about the highest dps its about doin what you have to do properly, its no good having the highest dps if you say cant move when you get light bomb
I've been looking forever for this. At one time I bought the song from iTunes but I lost my account and for the life of me I could not remember the name of the song. I thought it was "tears of the sun" and I kept on getting the movie link.
Bah why use 2 tanks? I solo tanked this encounter on my prot warrior. 2 Pummelers usualy spawn during the heart phase which i picked up and all dps nuked down....leaving scrap bots to reach the boss because he is healed to full anyway. Setup a taunt macro for the light spark and have ranged kill it while it travels towards the tank. Run with 5 healers and 19 dps.
That is 100% false. Rogues hit faster, but for less damage per hit. DPS is (obviously) measured in damage per second, so it doesn't matter how fast you hit.
they did it, my guild did it, its doable =D this was our first hardmode down so i think youve done some false calculating :s idunno im a healer anyways xD
thanks this slideshow helped me a lot

Yes, the positioning tactic works in all modes and difficulties. Just have the tank set up right between the two piles either side of the room.
RIPPP Tankspot! These guides are great
the red bar is the "pull aggro" it shows the threat needed for the one below the tank to pull aggro.
always nice music in Tankspot's movies
5-6fps that screams for lower graphix settings ^^

Whats the addon for when your cursor goes over something it brings up its info where your cursor is instead at the bottom right
been waiting for your next hard mode boss, my guild might be trying this soon, we are also about to start with 3 towers on FL, keep up the good work!
Miks Scrolling Battle Text
Looks a lot like that. Might be wrong, but I use that and it looks the same.
It's something they used payed a licence for, not sure what it's called, I think Lore mentioned it in the second or third Weeky Marmot.
what's the name of the Song?
and the ones you used on the Naxx guides
this was the weekly today...not the hard mode...but there was ALOT of dps they killed her(him?) heart with 10 seconds left....it was in a PuG also

"And what's the name of the kind of combatlog running in the right bottom corner?" is evesdrop or whats the name is.
The only things I see a lot of guilds having trouble with here is getting the heart down in that DPS race and making sure to drop the gravity bombs in the correct locations.
What's the addon for that scrolling combat text ?
Is there still an enrage timer?
That was hotfixed Nuleariasi....they intend for you to be able to tank him on the side and also for no robots to spawn during hard mode.....all better now and this video still rocks
Is there anyway we can see some spred sheets for dps on this fight as well as healing?

Quite fascinating, yes indeed.
what music did you put in the background?
Does the positioning trick work even if it's not on hard mode?
Hope the quality will soon be better :D
Having mediocre computers back in the day helped make these encounters harder than they actually were
the bar is brown, so its a warrior winning :), but its not about the highest dps its about doin what you have to do properly, its no good having the highest dps if you say cant move when you get light bomb
Does someone know whats the black action bar line addon?
how much dps do you do on your pally?
Im pretty sure he is talking about the Freya encounter
Oh wow, what was your group's DPS?
NaturalBornPhenom, I can't believe you just asked that.
why's lore no longer tank anymore like in os 25+3 vid
Tankspot, now in Classic Wrath :)
what is the name of this song! i want it!! plz someone help
yes, it is quite a difference between bad/great quality
"The Lips of The Sun" by Mysticage
I've been looking forever for this. At one time I bought the song from iTunes but I lost my account and for the life of me I could not remember the name of the song. I thought it was "tears of the sun" and I kept on getting the movie link.
TY for this, now we can finally get this shit done.
can any1 link me all the musics used in tankspot vids plz? many thanks
they mowed through that heart like none other!
XT drops an awesome holy paladin chest piece on hard mode
isn't it double zero two? not double oh two
That wasn't you right? Because that was a ret pally
great guide. 11th w00t. love you tankspot!!
Bah why use 2 tanks?

Absolutely positive...just did him tonight :)
did this 6 days ago was awsome
*in response to Ciderhelm's comment that he's not Amish... I still haven't figured out how to reply to a specific comment...
that's MSBT (mik's scrolling battle text)
The Lips of the Sun was it
watch the sarth +3D tankspt video it gives you a macro for it
i wanna see the dps meter for this fight lol
Amen to that man!
oh, I didn't know they nerfed the heart's health.
wow, that pally has soem, serious dps.
I want that background music mp3 file so bad ;_;
mysticage lips of the sun
lore I like you the best
Rogues need to L2feint. Minus 50% damage from AoE effects. This will ensure that the Rogue lives through all tantrums.
That is 100% false. Rogues hit faster, but for less damage per hit.
DPS is (obviously) measured in damage per second, so it doesn't matter how fast you hit.
I think it's funny that this person has an open ticket in the corner.
You do alot more dps on the heart u know.... 40% increase and then bloodlust 30%,
I agree with your position mate, but have you ever heard the saying - don't feed the trolls? :)
no all 4 are on different servers
Should Buu make you into chocolate...or jelly?
that has to be tough at 6-8 FPS
someone with a light bomb ran to avoidzone wtf?
Wings was off CD for soooo long O.O
Guildname is Eventide.
they did it, my guild did it, its doable =D
this was our first hardmode down so i think youve done some false calculating :s idunno im a healer anyways xD
Greater than food? Water? Chicks?
you get roughly the same amount of bots, just their distribution is much easier to handle.
it does have the same effect in 10 man
4:20 clever timed crits or just coincidence?
gg
Yes
Look at his recount, the highest dps was a DK by FAR.
What?
you deal double damage to the heart.
unit frames looks like pitbull
wow the 10th dps is doing 5.2k...
wow look at the unit frames man its a 25 man...
It's 25man...
Back when 15 fps was allright ^^
beast.
its called scrolling combat text :P SCT
hm, well ye warrior is a very "skil class " either in pve or pvp
Simple fight. It's really just a giant gear check and stupidity check. You better not be carrying scrub DPS, because it will show in this fight.
kewl
7,2 milion HP down in less then 30 seconds...o.O
If your not interested in hard mode, might aswell do the boss in 1 minute
This music makes me........ZZzzzZZZ sleepy lol
He reminds me of Majin Buu...
Lore
wth :/ locks are only good dps on yogghurt, maybe ur dps ers should l2 play, or maybe ur lock is a lot better geared than the others
And the heart takes double damage :)
it's the same effect
That's standard Blizzard stuff...
No. Its not an exploit. GG
Lol if you tried to burn 7.2MHP in 30 secs normally, I feel sorry for who ever's the main tank :P
