Heroic DS 25man new hard mode?

[Deleted]

So we just started our weekly clear and we face blackhorn.

We done what we doing week in week out but this time the fire does not what to despawn.

Anyone else had this fire bug for them on HC blackhorn?

I hope they just got rid off it. Otherwise Blackhorn is a great fight but its a little messy.

It's a bug that came up when 4.3.3 dropped. Set the instance to normal difficulty and then back to heroic and it should fix it.

This. Same thing we did Tuesday, and it worked.

Was more fun to kill it with fire everywhere, I like it!

The worst part was the drake didn't fly away,l she just floated there for a while

BUgged for us too, but we were able to kill it with over 50% remaining (barely!!). Fire wasnt a problem then

Not sure how this is a new Hard mode but yeah.... reset it.

The fire does not despawn... ever! so try killing him and the drake with hardly any space to move without being in the fire D:

We had this problem this week. I'll discuss how we dealt with it, maybe save you some time.

Our typical heroic 25 strat is in Phase 1, let every small volley hit (absorb the big ones of course) except for 3. Once the boat hits 25%, soak all of them that you can. On the 3rd wave of drakes, let the melee one fly away then get harpooned a 2nd time before killing it. These leads to p2 with very little fire.

Didn't work this week. We tried various tweeks to kill it, but the fire was insane and took forever to despawn. We had a Warmaster at 40% wipe (because we lost a tank early on and ran out of combat rezzes) where ALL the phase 1 fire (which covered over 95% of the ship did not despawn for the duration of phase 2 up to the very end, and the opposite side of where we were forced to stand (the bow of the ship between the two pillars... it was awful) wasn't clear of fire until that point. Basically the fire wasn't despawning at all. That is 100% what it was, and it wasn't fake, non-damaging fire either. It was the real deal. It was everywhere. And it was despawning waaaaaaaay past schedule.*

After trying some variations, we settled on a "soak as much as you can in P1 strat" (so basically what you would think) and moved bloodlust to the 3rd wave of adds (since we wouldn't let the drake fly away then fly back again, so we would have 2 adds + boss up at once). This lead to the boat having almost no fire. We crushed the fight like usual now that we didn't have to stand 2 inches away from blackhorn and sandwitched between character-blocking decorations.*

But yeah. I'll save you some time. Maybe Blizzard tried to fix the fire in the patch or something stupid, who knows. But if you are experiencing this, don't bother soft resetting it, or toggling from heroic to normal and then back to heroic (doesn't work). Just tell your guild to soak as much as they can and be fast on the drakes, and its as good as always.*

had that on the first go, was pretty weird. entered p2 as always with some fires up but they just kept expanding. eventually the dragon was dead and we wiped on 40-50% with the whole room covered in fire (and most of those certainly weren't fake). quite irritating. didn't reset though and next pull we had 0 fires shortly in p2.
