Dungeoneering

Ok, so we failed to down the purple dinosaur the first week he was out, we will get him down. I have family in town from July 7th through the 14th. They fly out in the morning so I have put another Ruby Sanctum attempt up for the night of the 14th. If you want to go please sign up. If we have enough people I would really like to try a 25-man attempt. If that doesn't happen then I will take a 10-man in (multiple 10-mans if there are enough of the right bodies lying around).

If you want to go to Ruby Sanctum make sure you read and review the strategies posted in the last RS thread (found here: http://www.natural-order-guild.com/?q=content/ruby-sanctum-10-man-schedualed-wed-630 )

Hope I see you all in there for the death of the satan-spawn purple-puppet!

I didnt see another place to put this so here goes. I only got to see the encounter for about an hour last week. This week we downed this boss in 3 attempts and one person hadnt even seen the fight once. also dps was approximately 5.5 dps (our ele shammy died, ankh'd and was oom for all of p3). Our first look at p3 was a 1 shot. I know you guys can do it.

So, like, since the attempt was so easy I thought I should be able to find it on youtube. No luck there but the focus is on P2 since thats the hardest. we 3 healed it and I dont think I'd do it another way. Also, I wasnt tanking so I think it may be worth your shadow realm? tank exploring the rite kiting in that phase.

In both phases have the tanks fight Halion against the wall/barrier sideways to the raid. It will open up the room alot more. Also, make sure when you get the debuff to run towards the ass of halion to drop your debuff (it was a good habit for us to enforce).

In P2 your tank will kite Halion clockwise around the wall but really you wont need to kite him that much. essentially the middle of the room will be devided by the beam but you will have the whole rest of the room to work with. the tank will keep halion in the fat of his divided section only having to kite occasionally to keep him a viable dps target. Also, tank, you wont have to kite him constantly. Most of the time our tank just sat there when the beam wasnt going. Our tank hadnt tried this technique at all either or even seen it so I dont think its too hard for the tank to find the rite spot. If youre ranged and you choose to dps on the opposite side of the beam you can stand fairly close to the center of the room and it will make it easier for you to maneuver from the beam as it spins.

The rest you guys know: p3 - 1 healer out with melee, 2 healers in with ranged (if your dps will allow it).

I had tried the Tankspot method but the complaint I most heard was people misjudging where the beam was gonna be (I died to it too). This method will take that rite out of the equation. And I dont blame you if you wanna keep to what you can see on youtube, but damn, this was easy. almost laughable

Happy Hunting

We tried this method once on

We tried this method once on Sunday and I honestly think it is worth revisiting again. I personal felt much less harassed by the beam when he was tanked on the side. All you really have to do is stand near the middle and occasional take one step back and then back forward and you have avoided the beam completely with minimum movement

As I healed, I stood on the

As I healed, I stood on the side of the beam with the boss. All I had to do was take one step forward and maybe two or three to the right and repeat as needed. If youre on the back side you may have to walk your "L" shape in an opposite direction.
