    First 6 bosses on Heroic are pretty easy:


    Short version:
    Hellfire Assault: Bloodlust boss to 50% then Terror > Vehicle > Hulk > Felcaster > rest of adds. Tell everyone this is a single target fight. Collect loot.

    Iron Reaver: Do not stand in fire, Ranged Stand slightly separated and All move to left as group when she preps to send fire. Tanks run out with artillery. Don't chase boss to tanks. Kill bombs, don't get run over by robot during charge. Collect loot.

    Hellfire High Council: 1 Tank take Dia off to side, other tank holds Gurtogg and Blademaster. Burn Gurtogg til dead, Burn Blademaster til dead, Burn Dia til dead, bloodlust at 40% on Dia. Don't stand on your buddy with reap. Collect loot.

    Kilrog Deadeye: Melee on left side of boss, tank on right side, Ranged on right side of room. Mages (If arcane have slow glyphed), Hunters learn were you put your concussive shot button. Blood pacts runs to back middle of room. NOONE should be in that path, if so, kick them from raid. Kill bloods, Slow adds and kill them as ranged. Send in 1 healer and 2 dps. Collect loot.

    Kromok: Learn /range 4, All stay in very small pack on same side for grasping hands. Kill hands quickly! Kill tanks hand quickly. Avoid slow moving raid mechanic. Have intelligent group move empowered runes together. Avoid slow moving raid mechanics! Burn down boss, collect loot.

    Gorefiend: Spread out. If you go in do your job and get out in last 5 seconds. Don't stand in bad stuff. Move to edge of room with soul fissures. Healers keep CDs for Feast of Souls. Add priority is Caster, Big Guy, Constructs unless your being chased by construct.. In which case, it's construct, caster, Big guy, other peoples construct. Tell your raid adds have priority. During Feast of souls everyone pile in one place, tanks catch souls, Burn down boss, use alot of healer CDs. Collect loot.

    You don't even need to save lust for Dia we still use it to burn down Gurtogg. The fight is a joke either way so it probably doesn't even matter.

    Yeah, but for groups that have only ever done normal. It's probably worth it. Kromok can be challenging if players cannot learn that /range 4 really means be 4 yards from your friends and not out in china away from everyone else. Goal is for your AoE monsters to break everyone out before they die in the pools.

    And if your healers don't know how to rotate CDs.... Gorefiend may be challenging.

    This has been our experience. We wasted a night wiping on Reaver, couldn't even get to the air phase. We had a bad comp but, yah, Blizzard seems to be willfully forcing guilds like ours into normal content to stretch out this x-pac. It's a demoralizing decision but I suppose that fits with this x-pac's theme.

    Well, since this is the last tier.. making it so it last 6-9 months may be a good thing. Don't worry too much about doing heroic if your group cannot get reaver down.

    And we are in the same boat actually.. one step up. We can burn through first 10 in one night.. next 2 on following night, then bounce on archimonde heroic.

    Third night, we tried Assault mythic for the entire evening.. That will take a tad bit more gear for us to get down. Well, that or figure out how to deal with those crazy 2 shotting engineers.

    If you have a dk and monk grip + stun on top of berserker and cleave them down, well any class that can aoe stun

    On topic : first 4 bosses are pretty easy, if you farmed hfc normal for 2-3 weeks, your raid should have the gear(some of your dps with 4set and good trinkets)/knowledge to beat the first 4 or even 5 bosses, gorefiend is where it steps up a bit

    Look at your raids ilvl (read DPS/HPS)
    If your raids ilvl is about 695+ you can bet you can get 5/13 easy if your raiders sort off know what they are doing.

    Fot us the fun started at gorefiend and Iskar. Both took us 3/4 hour wiping.
    Socrethar took us about 4 hour wiping so far. Should go down next time we get to him tho.
