Reliquary of Souls - Spirit Shock question

[zingar]

hello im going to attempt the Reliquary of Souls with a friend of mine. he is a paladin (tank) im dps (lock). so for phase 2 i was reading that if you fail to interrupt every 5 seconds you end up perma CCed. however i was reading the description of spirit shock and it only affects the current target (the tank normally).
so i was thinking, can we still beat this? if the tank is perma cced i can still DPS and take the boss out. the aura that reduces mana takes 160 seconds to get your max mana to 0, the boss has around 2M hp so id need like 13k DPS which is reachable. the only concern would be threat but with soulshatter and a little threat on his part at the beggining and then maybe some more by using the bubble seems that it might be possible. also i could SS myself and kill myself with hellfire or something to have mana again and 0 threat.

i know its not gonna be easy or even possible but my main question is if spirit shock only affects the person with most threat and no one else?

thanks

It gives a disorient, which causes him to change his target.

So he'll SS you, then the Lock, then you, then the lock, ect.

ah so i guess we spend half the fight CCed if were just 2 then?
he focus me casts SS, 5 seconds later he casts it on my friend then i am free for 5 seconds until he casts it again?
hah thatll be fun

thanks for the info

BTW he cant target pets with that skill right? but i guess you dont know since thats kind of an odd situation

I don't think you actually CAN duo RoS... Unless I'm mistaken, you can't get all the shocks and she will just chain them together like nobody's business. Plus she has the shield that you have to dispel or you can't interrupt her. So yeah, bring a full group. Least I've done it with is 4.

Can be 2 manned but you both need a reliable interupt (10s CD) and you cannot miss a single one.
The shield breaks on damage, think it's like 50k or something?

With you being a lock, unless the fellhunter interupt is a shorter CD than I remember, it's not gonna be possible I think.

we dont intend to interrupt but i though she only casted 1 SS every 5 seconds?
i can dispell the shield with my felhunter to help the DPS

we dont want to bring more since we kinda want to do it weekly to get the blades.

if we dont interrupt she will start casting the SS more often?

ive read "shorter cast time" but i guess she will also cast them more often?

This.
Tried with two friends and it wasn't enough. Maybe if you time perfectly your interrupts and dispels you can do it in 3, but the first error leads to a perma-cc chain that you can't stop.
With a group of 4 if you miss some interrupts it doesn't matter, cause at least one guy is free at every chain (for a little) and if all of you spam interrupts while cced you can stop the chain and restart the dps.

Yes. She will start to spam them.

Basically every time spirit shock is casted successfully by the boss the cast speed and the frequency at which the boss casts the spell is increased. So basically if the boss lands a spirit shock on both of you then you two are forever CCed. However RoS can be 2 maned I did it on my Warrior with a resto shaman friend of mine. With wind shear being a 5 second CD it is possible to get every interupt, plus you have purge for the bosses shield. As a warlock/Pally Duo all you can really do is Rebuke/Spell Lock/Rebuke, Bubble the next, Rebuke, then hope spell lock is up again, rebuke and hope the boss is dead before then. Also make sure your fel puppy devours the dmg absorb shield he puts up.

[Puffman]

If you miss one interrupt she will begin chain casting them, yes

[Thermidor]

Spirit shock pretty much gets spam-cast if not interupted yeah, if you're both in the CC it's game over.

Also, neither warlocks nor paladins can wield Warglaives?

Me as elemental shaman and a friend of mine (rogue) were able to duo it.

[zingar]

ah alright i got it now.

thanks for the info everyone!

Use Curse of Tongues. 1,3 Casts are easily interruptable.
No idea how much of a CD the paladin has on his, but only you Fel Hunters interrupt won't do. Doing it with a warrior each week, the first few times we wiped a lot but now we get the job done without disorient effect.

nope, we're screwed. spell lock (felhunter interrupt) has 24 seconds CD :/
pally one is 10 seconds so i think its not enough

it is possible, if you do a rebuke ->felpup->rebuke-> hand of sacrifice (which should work if the disorient breaks on damadge taken as the hand will cause damadge to paly breaking his cc)-rebuke ->pup->rebuke->hand

not tested but an alternative is using pvp trinkets to remove the cc as that would mean you have 'miss' 2 inturupts' every 2 minutes.

[Adon]

Warlock is absolutely amazing for that fight. Curse of Tongues, Spell Lock, and Devour Magic!

Make sure to eat the shield and have your friends kick, shouldnt be hard to 2-3 man.

prot paladin has avengers shield on 15 sec cd + chance on proc + rebuke on 10 sec cd + divine shield + pvp trinket? + maybe bloodelf? ^^
might be possible if you time everything perfect and with a little bit luck on the as procs

[Trigg]

you can't duo this boss if you can't interupt his casts. Each cast disorientates his current target for around 4-5 seconds, he'll then procceed to spam it until it's interupted. So once you miss the first one, it becomes very difficult to get the next ones, if you miss the first 2 (the one straight after the first miss) it becomes nearly impossible for two players.

But i agree that locks have it easier than others for this part of the fight.

Oh be carfeul not to kill yourself during phase 2, 50% of your daamge done you recieve back. Loved all our shadow priests one shotting themselves with SW: D

[Wollie]

Just curious, do you think an enhance shammy can solo reliquary with the 5 second CD kick?

[Deleted]

If it's 10 seconds it's easily manageable.
As I said, doing it with a Warrior on a weekly basis, I am a warlock as well.
