Double The Pleasure, Double the Fun

Entry posted by Javaed on September 30, 2009
It's been a long while since I've posted.  Sorry about that.  To make up for it, I figured I'd post about not one, but two bosses and finish up this series regarding ToC.  So then, today we're going to talk about Twin Valkyrs and Anub'arak. Who Doesn't Love Twins? If you don't know about this fight, I suggest you watch the Tank Spot video, as it provides a great general over-view.  Rather than describe the entire fight for you, I want to focus on a few particular things I've noticed. 1) Be Warry of the Orbs Obviously you're dodging the orbs that are of the opposite color of your character, as they'll damage you.  However, if you happen to absorb an orb of the same color while you're casting Mind Flay, you're going to lose a tick of Mind Flay damage.  If yo...

Weakling! Wothless Scrub! PWNing the Faction Champs

Entry posted by Javaed on September 17, 2009
Well, time for part three of my guide to Trial of the Crusader.  This time I'm going to cover the Faction Champions.  This is potentially a much tougher fight than the previous two, depending on just how much PVP experience you have.  Luckilly for you, I've done this fight several times now, and have some helpful tips to impart. So, a brief synopsis is in order.  Basically, this is a mock-pvp match.  Your group of 10 or 25 people will face off against 6 or 10 members of the opposing faction.  The NPCs that you're fighting will have a ton of health, will use a wide range of attacks and CC that would normally be available to their class, and will hit you for about as hard as a well geared PVPer would.  The fight ends when you kill all the opposing Faction ...

The Death of Lord Jaraxxus

Entry posted by Javaed on September 14, 2009
Time to continue my series of Shadow Priest strategies for the bosses of Trial of the Crusader.  This time we're going to take a look at Lord Jaraxxus.  This fight is actually a bit easier than the previous fight, but there are a few things you can do to really optimize your DPS. This is basically a Tank & Spank with adds and a lot of raid damage.  60 seconds into the fight, a Dark Portal is created.  If you're close to the portal, you take damage, so avoid it.  The portal also summons a Mistriss of Pain.  She has to be DPSed down fast, as she does some nasty damage, but she's not that big of an annoyance overall.  Keep your DOTs rolling on Jaraxxus while you kill her.  60 seconds later, you'll get an Infernal Volcanoe.  This will summon a ...

Entry posted by Javaed on September 03, 2009

I've got a bit of experience in Trial of the Crusader now, so I figured it's time to share some of my experiences thus far.  I've actually swapped between both Disc and Shadow specs for this fight, so I may give some healing tips every now and then, but for the most part I'm going to focus on Shadow Spec tactics.  Join me after the break for a detailed account of each fight of the phase.
