Ulduar and Emblems Loot, PTR Boss Testing

[Boubouille]

Update 12:00 CET - The full Ulduar / Emblems loot list has been moved to this post

Ulduar - Flame Leviathan Testing
Boss Information
Health - 20M (10-Man) / 62M (25-Man)

Every 30 seconds he will switch targets to another siege vehicle, mark them, and follow them around. If you do not have two siege vehicles active then he will pick a different unit.

He has a soft enrange due to Gathering Speed. You have to kite him, thanks to Battering Ram, and it becomes harder and harder to get away from him even with help from Steam Rush.

• Flame Jets: Inflicts 2000 Fire damage to enemies around the caster. 50 yard range. Interruptable.
• Battering Ram: a melee range attack, Rams the target, dealing damage and knocking it forward. Debuffs them with "Battering Ram": Damage taken increased by 100%.
• Gathering Speed: periodically he moves a bit faster by gaining another stack of this buff. The stack is reset when he is stunned by Overload Circuit.
• He also fires rockets constantly at the raid, doing about 700 damage each time they land (about once every 1-2 seconds)
• He has 4 turrets. Passengers in the demolisher can be launched at him where they can destroy the turrets and then hit the Overload Circuit: stuns Flame Leviathan and causes him to take 50% more damage for 10 seconds.

Player Vehicles
The vehicles have a base HP that then increases based on the ilvl of your gear (tip: stop DE'ing trash epics with high ilevels and save them for Ulduar!)

Salvaged Siege Engine
This vehicle demolishes towers as you clear the gauntlet and kites the Flame Leviathan. It can carry a passenger.

Salvaged Demolisher

Ulduar - Kologarn Testing
The testing of Kologarn is now done! Congratulations to Exodus, Not Steamboat, Alpha and all the other guilds who took down Kologarn on PTRs tonight.

Health - 20.917M Kologarn, 5,22M for each arm (25-Man) / 5.2M Kologarn, 1.2M for each arm (10-Man)

• Overhead Smash - The not so massive attack Inflicts Physical damage and decreases armor by 25% for 30 sec.
• Petrifying Breath - Inflicts 18750 to 21250 Nature damage every 1 sec and increases damage taken by 20% for 8 sec. (Brittle Skin - Increases damage taken by 20% for 8 sec.)
• Stone Grip - Squeezes the life out of the target, stunning it and inflicting 3700 to 4300 Physical damage every 1 sec until Kologarn's Arm sustains 450,000 damage.
• Focused Eyebeam - Inflicts 3700 to 4300 Nature damage to enemies within 3 yards.
• Shockwave - The shockwave from the massive arm sweep inflicts 11563 to 13437 Nature damage.

Ulduar - General Vezax Testing
The testing of General Vezax is now finished on EU PTRs, Ensidia killed him in both normal and hard mode in 25-man and received a bunch of new items.

Abilities

• Health - 30M (25-Man) / 7.7M (10-Man)
• Shadow Crash - Fires a shadow missile at a target, dealing 11310 to 12690 Shadow damage to all enemies near the impact point and knocking them away. After impact, leaves an energy field that lingers for 20 sec, increasing magical damage dealt by 50%, reducing healing done by 50%, and reducing mana costs by 30%. (10-Man - 5655-6345 damage)
• Searing Flames - Deals 13875 to 16125 Fire damage to all enemies within 100 yards, superheating their armor and reducing its ability to protect them by 75% for 10 sec. (2 sec cast time, interruptable)
• Surge of Darkness - Empowers the caster with dark might, increasing physical damage by 100% but reducing movement speed by 50%, for 10 sec. (Self buff on Vezax, you have to kite him around the room while the buff is up, lasts 10 seconds)
• Aura of Despair (Prevents mana regeneration from nearly all natural sources. Aspect of the Viper, Judgements of the Wise, Shamanistic Rage, and Spiritual Attunement remain at least partially effective. Also reduces melee attack speed by 20%.) is active throughout the whole fight, the only "normal" way to regain mana is to use potions. You can also destroy the crystals flying in the room, they will drop a green cloud on the ground and will restore your mana, they will also damage you for an equal amount of health points (1000 Mana regen = 1000 Damage), this buff stacks and will regen more and more mana (and deal more damage as well) over time. The hard mode version of the encounter require you to not use these clouds
• After Vezax spawns the 8th crystal, he will also spawn an add with 8M HP (25-Man) / 2.3M HP (10-Man). This add will repeatedly cast Profound Darkness (Inflicts 500 damage to all enemies, and increases Shadow damage taken by 10% per application. Stacks up to 99.) and stack it on the raid, 20 debuffs means you will get 200% more damage from shadow spells (including Shadow Crash missiles from Vezax)

Yummy, plate and 2hander. <3

[un_known]

*looks at IC loot and sighs lots* same sodding skins yet again for none tier loot... is this going to change btw? since looking at the same skins for the new tier content really does get old after a while, i mean c'mon! it was bad enough that tanking/dps/healing plate was the same bar different colours but still, having that yet again for the next content really makes me wonder if blizz has gotten bored with designs (yes i am concerned about my Vanity when it comes to gear :P)

[Xs]

Most of the models here look like placeholders, for Ulduar weapon models please check this post

Reading is hard

HOW DO I READ POST

[dtrmp4]

So it looks like Fragments of Val'anyr only drop from hard modes, and only 1 at a time?

Damn that mace is gonna be tough to get.

i think that's the point

[Chikina]

Anyone else thinking of this when you see Kologarn?

I was thinking

[sainthubbins]

I really hope that the Fragments don't drop only in 25 man. Just because I do a 10 man doesn't mean I don't want a challenge. I just prefer a smaller group.

And you get your challenge from doing the Hard Modes. They're not as hard as 25 man, so you don't get a legendary. Capiche?

[Xs]

*Cough* Sarth 3D *Cough*

[Selenti]

Haha yeah, hard modes will probably be universally harder on 10 man throughout the expansion.

Kind of lame they're intent on making the hardest shit give lesser loot, but whatever.

[MilkaMaus]

rofl they cant think of new styles? poor blizz... same expansion and all ready 2 Epics with same Style..

[Kelfarr]

READING THE POST IS HARD. They are placeholders.

Also blues already said 10 man sarth 3drake is the exception where 10 man hard modes are harder than 25 man hardmodes, they aren't meant to be and that was an oversight.

[DarkAxius]

The most disappointing thing is how the itemisation of the 2h swords still does not remotely favour melee DPS.

I would rather have strength instead of attack power. I know this would be less favourable to hunters, but using these swords simply means they don't scale with regards to Kings buffs at all. Sucks.

[Aegos]

Where's the Elemental Shaman loot from the Emblems of Conquest Blizzard?!
