US PTR Testing - Festergut

[DKaizerX]

pls post the tier 10 shaman set ffs

It's not in the game yet. :

Enrage timer is very tight. 5:30 might be better, but then again people will have Icecrown gear by the time they get to him.

We'll see how Rotface has been changed.

Personally I think the fight looks pretty cool, and I hope the current balance sticks "pretty much" until live. Even on normal mode, some bosses should be harder than others. And since this boss is near the end of the raid, it should definitely be harder than the first bosses. Which I think it is at current.

Was a fair few good wipes there a 6 min enrage timer imo would be better or us casuals will struggle to see arthas on normal

lol wipe from vodka on like 5%

[Blasphemer]

You don't think they called to wipe it to play around more with it to fully understand the fight? Jealousy, lol.

Why is he having to make a addon to do a fight? That's not what blizzard wants, neither do I. So top end guilds have to "hack" their way to be number 1...unfair. =(

Hey, genius. They don't have to "hack" to be number 1. TBH, Vodka isn't even number 1 or close to it. As for the making an addon thing, they do it to make things easier/better. DBM, which pretty much every raider has anyways, will be updated. It's the same principle.

What's there to play around with? After the first wipe we knew what we needed to do, knew the timers, and saw every fight mechanic.

The exhale damage was working properly, but if you stack the gas spore explosion buff 4 times (like we did) no one takes damage.

The fight is nicely tuned for a near the end of the instance Normal 25 boss. I'm looking forward to Heroic mode.

Uhh, I was writing the DXE bossmod for Festergut. You know, timers and warning and bell and tigers and bears, OH MY! Nothing special, just the normal things other guilds want after we kill it.

oh ok, sorry for the confusion =)

There was no confusion. You talked out of turn and were put in your place.

To get exact timers on the fight, maybe, dunno, it helps.

....NAAAAHHHHH.

[Pewpewarrows]

You get the timers from combatlogging. They (vodka) were trying out different strats though after their first few weren't up to par, so that's completely understandable.

[Pewpewarrows]

First few? Meaning the 3 total? First being 17%, second testing if you can stack up and just have soakers (IC) and third a kill? Those few tries that weren't up to par? Ok broseph.

vodka's words, not mine. Member commented that they wiped because they were testing strats. Stop getting so defensive.

Even though it was still easy in round two of festergut testing here's a quick n' easy vid from might for those interested of the latest tweaks he had. This is our 3rd attempt we had on Festergut himself - in his second phase of testing.

Not much has changed, just the enrage timer, more damage going out and vial spreading properly, nothing overly difficult just a few tweaks in positioning.

I know it's PTR, I know it's not my guild and all that, but I was like "GOGO COME ON DO IT FAGGOTS" after the first 5 or so died.

"We're not really a finesse guild. We just sorta try to push its shit in before we wipe."
