Lyntha Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Heroic Shannox 25 is our next encounter; Read this link for more info: http://wow.mmoscholar.com/2011/07/08/25man-heroic-shannox-guide/ This fight is largely reliant on having one EXCELLENT ranged DPS who can do excellent burst and kite at the same time. The best people for this are Hunters and Mages, so please research the rageface kiting portion of this fight if you are one of those two classes!

Berms Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Added comment: Riplimb can be slowed. During the kiting phase, we have a shadowpriest mindflay him until the spear has been returned. This will buy the tanks additional time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyntha Posted September 27, 2011 Author Share Posted September 27, 2011 Meh I've been kiting Shannox since week 1. I can kite shannox and the dog for a good 5-10 seconds of extra kite time every time. Since melee doesn't really lose any DPS on movement, we'll probably just keep the ranged slows on the boss.

Prydain Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 You can solo tank shannox by using the kiting method in a circle shape with the range standing in the center for max dps. But I wouldn't recommend to do in 25m since the lost of 1 tank for 1 dps shouldn't make or break the fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyntha Posted September 27, 2011 Author Share Posted September 27, 2011 Tears would stack up too fast and it'd be too difficult to create the separation needed unless I was a Warrior or we abused Priest grips/sprints. THat coupled with the fact that you're gaining so little means we're gonna 2 tank it. Even if the debuffs last longer, I think we'll be alright. I can truly extend the time by a good 5-10 seconds each time. For a debuff that only lasts for 24 seconds, that's an eternity. We don't actually slow the dog on purpose or anything now so we might just have to purposefully slow him if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prydain Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Nah you don't need to have a special class to do the kiting, and tears wouldn't stack past 5 because riplimb never returning the spear. However Shannox still throws his spear on cd regardless if the spear is returned or not. This strat is more viable to do in 10m because having 7 dps instead of the normal 5 is just a huge increase in raid dps. No second tank taking damage. And it would actually result in less healing required on the tanks. Here i'll leave you this video so you can see how it's done: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyntha Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 We just winged it. Done.I think this fight is easier than Rag normal, even after rag got nerfed harder than shannox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prydain Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 H-Shannox is the simplest of all the fights in FL by far, even easier than normal regarding mechanics. Get Rageface trapped, get the tank to clear debuffs and he will fall dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyntha Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 Admittedly, it seemed like Pikachu and Gump were doing a great job with Rageface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
