US PTR Testing - Festergut

[Stardust]

too bad you must have a battlenet account merged from 2 months ago to test.

thats not true, i merged last week and was able to test rotface today


imho festergut looks more challenging then rotface who was a bad joke on ptr (on 10 player, i know hp bugged in 25) :P

Festergut, one of the 3 bosses of the Plague wing of Icecrown Citadel

Ahh yeah! Another plague wing! I can't wait to experience the Undead and Military wing of IC too!

To be fair, ICC seems to have the wings follow the DK trees, that being blood/frost/unholy, so it is to be expected. I can however understand the feeling of "not this again", however, this is more akin to a mix of plague/abomination wing combined into one, and lacking the military/spider wings of naxx.

Also, I laughed at: not one, but TWO northrend worgs!

The spores are released throughout the fight.

You need to spread out to avoid the Vile Gas casts, which can be quite bad if you're very clumped up.

However, when people are targeted with the spores, you must quickly run to them and take the damage from the spores, as this will build up a stacking "Inoculation" debuff, which reduces shadow damage by 25% per stack.

Festergut will inhale the gas in the room three times (reducing it's damage per inhale) until it's completely inhaled, then he will exhale (Pungent Blight) for massive shadow damage. If you have enough Inoculation stacks you will survive this damage. If you do not, you will die.

But supposedly the Pungent Blight is bugged and not doing enough damage.

Sounds like a very fun fight!

Does anyone know if he is the 1st, 2nd or 3rd boss of the wing?

Festergut and Rotface can be done in any order, and once both are killed the door to Professor Putricide opens.

I'm really hoping that Rotface is just a place-holder model, and will change in the final release.

most people i know is disapointed in the past raids that has been out (easy or just boring after normal 10/25 heroic 10/25 versions of them with same looking loot just diffrent stats), and seeing that they one shotted a boss on PTR IC the end raid instance makes it abit meh too watch im guessing :-\

You do know that Brutallus and Kalecgos were really easy on the Sunwell PTR before they were buffed up right?

<-- Priest streaming.

If interested you can find my UI @ http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/37823/FirstaidUI.zip

Use the README inside to install.

Enjoy! Hopefully the fight is fun.

Thank you for the UI link - I've been looking for a clean, minimized one for some time and that one looks great.

Installed it last night and had no problems whatsoever. Can't wait to get home from work so I can keep tweaking it and try it out for real.

Sounds like a fun fight !

[sneaky7]

Yay, you can now deal damage with vomit!

Damn this QQ is making me sick...

*vomits violently all over the room*

Damn this QQ is making me sick...

The "QQ" would be far less annoying if we didn't know, deep down inside, that it's a 100% accurate representation of the current state of the game.

Feel free to keep dreaming of meaningful challenges outside of Hardmodes, but be prepared to see ICC pugged long and hard on normal.

[Angevinus]

ICC pug = good.

[LavaDuck]

Fest er gut. Party is good. Almost translatable :P

Calling bullshit on you, I merged a week ago and I am able to play on the PTR.
