This
My mount.

MAKE IT SO.

Kommentar von Happyfisherman

From what I've seen in the beta, this is a really simple fight. The fight is mostly a tank and spank encounter, but you have to be aware of not standing on the lava circles that appear during the fight (you are warned with the ground moving and shaking where the lava pool will appear).

Periodically, Slabhide will lift off and throw tons of spikes at the ground, check the ground for shadows and move away from them.

That's it, rinse and repeat for whatever time it takes to kill him.

the model for this boss is one of the new mounts that i think you get from the therazane faction similar to hodir and netherwing.....this mount......is the business

Kommentar von Kirska

Make sure you're in the flat part of the immediate area or you will be locked out of the encounter.

Kommentar von Sakayra

Slabhide has a chance to drop Vitreous Stone Drake (non heroic for me)

Kommentar von 263972

- Dodge falling spikes
- Dodge falling spikes + lava pool
- Spikes break LoS

Pretty basic tank-spank with little movement.

The mount just dropped for our part, I guess the drop chance has to be really low. I've been playing for eight straight hours with my guild now, tanking. I thought I could catch a break but I managed to roll 1, I guess it has to resemble the rank for guild activity, as I'm currently first. As the guild master, I demanded the mount and threatened with a guild disband. The guild is no more...

Joke aside, rather awesome mount, glad to have seen it drop at least!

Kommentar von BaronYiffington

NORMAL MODE:

Extremely easy "don't stand in the bad stuff" fight.

Tank picks up boss.

Boss will randomly spawn pools of lava. Nobody should stand in them.

Boss will fly into the air periodically, and rain down stone spikes. The spikes put a shadow on the ground - simply don't stand under a shadow.

The spikes, once they land, break LoS, so the healer will need to position themselves accordingly.

Got the Drake on Normal Stonecore about an hour ago, don't know if it is the first or not. So this does drop on Normal, enjoy.

Best,
Deathplz

Kommentar von Blackthorne

Heroic mode pointers:

Even though he looks like a dragon, there is no tail swipe. It's safe to stand behind him.
Avoid lava pools (obviously). They are easy enough to spot, when they form you'll see a small dust cloud on the ground.
During the "air phase", avoid the black spots on the ground, because pillars will land on that spot. They may or may not oneshot you (don't know exact damage yet).
During his Crystal Storm, stand behind a pillar. If you are not in line of sight, you will take zero damage from it.
Note that pillars too close to him (inside his hitbox) will not work!

On normal, he will not use Crystal Storm.

Kommentar von 27187

Heroic Mode:

Slabhide has 3 skills he uses.

Every so often he will fly up and drop rocks on the floor which you must avoid.

Crystal Storm: launches shards at all party members. Must use the drop rocks to LOS it. make sure your are out of his hit box.

Sand Blast: does about 80k damage frontal cone.

Eruption: Lava will burst from a spot on the ground and pool. Does around 45k damage.

Kommentar von ElfenAeria

I find it interesting that this fight for a dps or a healer is purely skill based when it comes to the incoming damage the group will take.

It is possible to take 0 damage through the entire encounter, it does not require much effort either. That's why i very much enjoy this encounter ;)

Kommentar von 344016

This is a fairly easy tank and spank with an alternating ground and air phase. "Sand Blast" is a frontal AoE cone that does fairly big tank damage. Face the boss away from the group and just heal through it. You'll randomly see dust clouds form under people that turn into pools of lava after a few seconds. They aren’t big and are very easy to avoid.

During the air phase, Slab will start dropping falling spikes that cover most of the room. You can see these coming long before they hit due to the shadows they make on the floor. Following the air phase, the fight essentially becomes rinse and repeat except for his last ability. "Crystal Storm" deals 20k damage every second for 6 seconds and can be avoided by hiding behind the spikes left over from the air phase.

Kommentar von qasaq

Soloed in normal mode, as hunter in blues, simple fight, clearing the trash was harder then the fight.
On the boss, keeping pet in LoS is the hard part, make sure you re-place your pet each air phase (or it is likely it will not move out from the obvious rocks) and it's a kill (and don't outaggro!).
For the trash, I used survival spec due to the good CC. I was trapping two mobs, sleeping one and killing them one by one.
(In order to trap two mobs; you shoot trap close to the target, wait for the cooldown on trap to reset, start fight, wait for the placed trap to be used, then place a new trap for the second target.)
Keep in mind that Manastorm will keep running from group to group, so you need to kill 2 of the total 3 groups, in order to be able of summoning the skippable first boss.
Start with the trash packs without Manastorm (since that's one less elite to worry about) clear them up before you head to the group Manastorm is in. At Manastorm's group I did the normal CC drill, nuke Manastorm to ~50% while pet is tanking him and one more elite and then you are free to FD, first boss is summoned and path to Slabhide is opened.
Done the boss as survival and marksman, marksman is nice for the little heal from chimera, making the fight a complete piece of cake. Used tenacity pet all times, full tanking spec (avoid the CC-breaking thunderstomp), glyph of MD and mending in order to make the fight go more smooth. Also used 2/5 tier 5 armor for the healing set bonus, not tested without.

-Happy farming, hunters.

Kommentar von dabigwilli

Basically 3 manned this with Hunter, Mage, Shaman. Tank and DK Dps failed to get out of crystal storm and dropped group when the boss was at 70% and we finished him no problem.

Kommentar von lhavelund

This encounter is exceptionally easy, provided everyone knows what they're doing. A few pointers:

Don't stand in the lava. It might seem obvious, but it hurts like a #$%^&.
Spikes. They break LOS. As a healer myself, this is quite a @#$%^. They are, however, also your best friend when he throws Crystal Storm.

I managed to pull this one off on Heroic with one DPS, a Tank and myself as healer. :)

Kommentar von 403619

It looks like he stops moving when he casts Crystal Swarm. When this happens, everyone should break LOS by hiding behind a spike. Don't use a spike directly near the boss, Crystal Storm will go around/over the spike and still hit you.

Kommentar von 741975

Did this on heroic last night. During crystal storm, our group wiped. When we walked back, the stone barriers that block the way out during combat were still there even though Slabhide was landed and waiting to begin combat. There was no way to get passed the barriers and therefor we had to quit the dungeon. Anyone else have this problem?

Kommentar von 745942

Slabhide hits about 6-9k auto attack

.Here are a few things that u should be aware of:

¤ Tank should face him away from group since his sand blast hits people infront of

¤ He will spawn lava pools that you shouldnt stand in.

¤Slabhide will fly up randomly(?) and as he flies up he is unkillable. you can get him to 1hp but he cant die. just concentrade on avoiding the rocks that are falling down.

Here is also a video showing how a Hunter can solo it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2XoWUjrJbI.

Good luck on mount!

Kommentar von 259313

Tanks should note that he'll always cast his Sand Blast shortly after landing, and shortly after finishing Crystal Storm, regardless of whether or not they're actually in range of the ability.

It can be avoided in both situations if you simply get more then 15 yards away from him while he's still immobile.

Kommentar von HikariOblivion

Just got a mount drop from reg soloing, just to confirm for anyone who may have heard rumors otherwise (relying on the dungeon finder, guild run, group or anything else), that it is possible without any sort of variables like that :) happy farming

Kommentar von Superchief

Melee can attack him while he's in the air by standing almost directly under him and jumping. If you time it right you can hit him with abilities every global cooldown, you're just missing auto attacks until he lands.

Kommentar von 757980

Any rogue soloed this one yet? Tried couple times but no deal, I'm thinking of going Combat next time. As Mut I just used recuperate before the fight and went it blowing CDs right at start. Potion and Bandages didn't help much. :(

Kommentar von Danaan

I can confirm that he is soloable as a protection paladin.
Skip the first tash mob group, kill the other two, kill the Earthshapers first, self-heal using Word of Glory and Seal of Insight. Then run to the first group and bring Millhouse to 50%, run out of the instance, skip the first trash mob group and go to Corborus. Then try to avoid the Crystal Giants. If thats not possible, jump on his Quake Ability and kill the Crystal spawns ASAP. Then straight through the gauntlet and there you go. Slabhide!

Pull and blow off every CD if its ready. Use every Holy Power on Word of Glory and self heal in the airial phase using Divine Light. At the ground phase avoid the lava pools. Rinse and repeat x-times and pray for the drake.

It took me around 14 minutes to kill him/her/it.

Good luck everyone

PS: The information here were already posted, I just assembled everything for clarity.

Kommentar von 117168

Solo'd today using a ilvl 346 blood DK without to much trouble at all. Starting out with AotD should get the boss down about 10-15% before you ever take any dmg. After that it's just using bandages/blood tap/blood pact/deathstrike to keep yourself topped off. Make good use of your AMS when the boss lands to minimize the breath attack.

Kommentar von 782912

It seems to have changed slightly with the patch. As a SV Hunter I clear all the rock elementals as usual. Start with the 3rd pack Freeze Trap/Wyvern Sting the 2 Beserkers or Berserker/Warbringer combo, then shoot down the Earthshaper as quick as, scatter shot when he does the dust cloud. Then work on the rest one at a time. I tried to do the 2nd pack but every time I start it brings Millhouse and his pack in to the fight, must be a new addition as it never use to. So with the 2nd pack I kill the Earthshaper before Millhouse gets there and then feign death. Will make it easier for later. Then I run back to the start and and work on Millhouse and his pack. Started with Millhouse until he runs away and then worked on the others using the same strategy as with the 3rd pack. Then did the same with Millhouse and the 2nd pack until he ran away.

Made my way down to Slabhide, send my pet in keep him alive and work on Slabhide. It's easier now with less shards falling so I never lost sight of my pet. The other thing I noticed was that when Slabhide hovers he doesn't hover as high anymore so your pet can still reach him and continue attacking.

Can't confirm whether you actually do need to kill all of the 1st pack or not. It might just be Millhouse who triggers them to join in when you are on the 2nd pack.

Every try I've done pre patch and after Ive used a bear and never had a problem so you don't have to use turtles if you prefer having a bear as tank.

Kommentar von kaze950

Did trash + slabhide as MM, it was pretty easy. Just get manastorm to 50%, feign death, and kill the trash pack. I found it easiest to just freezing trap one, and just single target everything else. My pet didn't seem to take too much damage. You can skip the 3rd pack and go straight to slabhide using camo.

Slabhide took me about 3 minutes, basically just popped CDs and such and then went into aspect of the fox. Your pet takes barely any damage as long as you keep mend pet up (with glyph) and as long as you periodically MD and avoid getting out of LoS, you should be fine even if it takes you 10 minutes.

Kommentar von jkurkul

Way too much solo information. Have run this a lot for tanks needing trinket from last boss, ever since patch we are noticing some one-shot kills from stalagtites that don't have shadows on the ground. Curious if anyone else has seen it.

And no, in all the times running it, have not seen a mount drop

Kommentar von msully72

Just had a very frustrating few fails on this guy as a resto druid. Was getting crystal spiked through stalagmites - I assumed it was due to tree form giving a bigger or offcenter hit box, but maybe it was the ranged issue from above. God how annoying that fight was.

Kommentar von 570988

Drops the BLUE jemmed Stone Drake, YELLOW is the Vial, PURPE is Aeonaxx, the rarespawn, and RED is the Glory for the Heroic Acheivs... This boss is soloable by hunters, i can confirm that i have downed him over 10 times so far for the mount. Just spam mend pet and have ur pet tank and follow the fight mechanics, The mount is an extreamly low drop rate, about the same as the baron mount from stratholme, so if u really want this mount, be ready to farm or hope to be really lucky to get it on your first couple of runs :P

Happy Hunting!

Kommentar von xmatty

It seems they've hotfixed this. I can't aggro the middle mob without millhouse being aggro'ed. SV hunter, i even tried pulling the middle pack down to the bottom, even still the first pack come and attack me.

Kommentar von Zerotorescue

I have soloed this more than a hundred times at a Survival Hunter (spec) with a Turtle (spec) as tanking pet. My usual runs only take about 9 minutes in total whereof this boss takes a little under 3 minutes and 30 seconds to kill. Here are some pointers to hopefully make your solo runs quicker, but please note this will only be of use to anyone that can drop combat (unless you think dieing and running in is quicker then killing all trash).

Croud Controling is important to make things easier and reduce the damage the pet takes. However to ensure CCed targets aren't kicked out by your pet you must turn auto-casting of Thunderstomp off. The trash NPCs I found most annoying were Stonecore Berserkers so I prioritized CCing these over anything else. So much for the introductions, now to handling the trash.

The first pack is easy, you don't need to kill any of the trash there only bring Millhouse Manastorm to 50% so he rushes to the second pack. This means you CC two targets (preferably Berserkers), send your pet in for Millhouse and nuke him down quickly. Once he starts running Dismiss Pet and Feign Death so the pack will reset (except for Millhouse). Wait a few seconds and then activate Camouflage to skip the rest and run all the way to the third pack.

Before starting with the third pack, clear out any Unbound Earth Rager that might become a nuisance and then start CCing the dangerous targets in this pack leaving two targets alive. I always kill the Stonecore Earthshapers first as they have low HP and can be quite annoying and only then move on to the other NPCs. By clearing this group we ensure Millhouse will run to the first boss' location the next time he is brought down to 50% rather then join this pack.

Now we set our eyes on Millhouse Manastorm again. CC the two dangerous targets in his current pack again and bring him down to 50% quickly. Be warned that engaging the second pack will also cause the first pack and trash surrounding it to be pulled so if you do not bring down Millhouse fast enough, your pet will probably die from the additional damage. After Millhouse starts running, use your Deterrence for extra protection and start dismissing your pet again, make some distance with Disengage and then feign death to drop combat once more. Wait a couple of seconds for the trash to reset and then use your camouflage to skip the remaining bosses and trash; you can walk all the way to Slabhide now.

The Slabhide kill is pretty straightforward; use Aspect of the Fox to be able to cast while dodging the flame puddles while at the same time keeping an eye on your pet's health and using Mend Pet when needed. Sometimes the pet will be completely out of line of sight when you're trying to heal due to a rock falling on top of him which can be solved by ordering the pet to Follow, teleporting it right on top of you. You might also want to make a macro to enable your pet's Last Sand - just for extra safety.

I realize it would be easier to pick up on these pointers from a YouTube video so I'll see if I can get to that and in that case update this post, but I won't make any promises. (Update: got recordings solved out just need to solve a few issues with Sony Vegas.)

Kommentar von NelleRavencrest

Its very simple as Marksmanship Hunter with Turtle:

THIS TACTIC ONLY REQUIRES YOU TO KILL ONE PACK WITH 4 MOBS = Very easy !

1) Go inside MD to pet, cast aimed shot on Millhouse and instanly cast multi shot right after. That way all the mobs go on your turtle. Just nuke Millhouse until he reach 50% = he starts yelling, then run out of the instance to reset the group (easiest way since you are right inside).

2) Go in again and use camouflage to get to the 3rd and last pack (Skip the one with Millhouse). Put down a trap right infront of you, cast MD on pet and once again aimed shot, but this time on the Stonecore Earthshaper, and emediately after use multishot to make the rest of the mobs go on pet. The Berserkers randomly charge, but since you put down a trap right infront of you. The berserkers will get trapped (sometimes there is 2 x Berserker, then you just have to eat some random charges). But with one of them trapped its very easy to deal with the remaining mobs. If you really don't like the random charges you can always stand at max range, then it wont happen.

3) When the pack is cleared go back towards the middle pack, it will have Millhouse in it. Once again put down a trap (not really needed) to help with the incomming dps preasure. MD to turtle and aimed shot on Millhouse and multishot on the rest. Now just nuke Millhouse down to 50%, when he starts yelling + run away, you emediately dismiss your Pet and FD. This will make the pack reset. Now just pop Camouflage and run to Slabhide (yes the first boss will come in when you get near the cave-hole in the wall)

4) Kill Slabhide, if you can't do this as MM with a bit of Mend Pet and fire dodgeing. Then don't even bother playing WoW and reroll Hello Kitty Online immediately !

Best of luck with the mount !

Kommentar von EightBitBus

I had no problem soloing both Corborus and Slabhide as a 377 Blood DK. I used my standard Blook DK soloing spec in my DPS gear that I reforged for crit once I was hit/exp capped. I didn't have any outside buffs on me.

Focus on getting Millhouse Manastorm to 50% as quickly as possible as his Shadowfury, while not a death sentence, certainly doesn't make the pull any easier. Stonecore Earthshapers should go down next with extra attention paid to interrupting Force of Earth. I wrote a focus interrupt macro to make sure I didn't miss any (/cast Mind Freeze). Avoiding the Spinning Slash used by Stonecore Berserkers will also greatly reduce your damage taken.

Corborus is a tank and spank fight for the most part. Make sure to move out of Crystal Barrage by simply walking through him once he casts. Blood boil the small shale spiders while avoiding the kicked up dirt during the ground phase.

Jumping when there is a second or so left on a Crystalspawn Giant Quake cast will allow you to avoid the damage completely. Heart Strike cleave should take out the small geode add since it only has 5000HP.

At level 85 Stonecore Flayers can be walked past without aggroing. If you do manage to aggro them, moving away from them when they cast Flay should allow you to kill them without too much trouble.

The run to Slabhide is the same as ever, avoid the falling rocks.

The Slabhide fight itself is quite easy. Anti-Magic Shell will reduce the Sand Blast damage but isn't entirely necessary. Move your way 6-8 yards from the small fire spots when they appear so as not to be caught when they become fire pools.

Kommentar von Ategra

Yesterday me and a friend managed to two-man this guy on HC mode.

This is how we did it:

Specced both BM with a turtle tanking pet (+ Glyph of Mending).
Send out your pet and MD.
Just dps and keep Mend Pet up all the time (this might get tricky because with all the falling spikes around, it will get out LoS).
Every time Slabhide flies up in the air, and starts his Crystal Storm, hide behind a pillar and put your pet on passive. That way it will instanly spawn right on you. Hit mend pet again and make sure it's full health before sending it back into the fight again.

From this part on it's just rinse and repeat (as long as you don't have aggro, you should be taking any damage at all).
If your pet should reach low health you can trick the boss by taking distance, dismissing your pet and instantly call it back again (full health) and hit Feign Death.

My pet died once during our try, because I the spikes where blocking the LoS for Mend Pet.

Happy mount farming!

Kommentar von Teiwazgod

Druid tank 370
I soloed him him no pot and no extra healing with jumping cat form for Nuturing In stincts.

I started the fight with no cool downs Baumrinde etc he flies up at 98% so it is not worth it.
If I took any dmg i would cast Heilende Berührung would recover any lost of health and I would cast right as coming to me I would cast Blühendes Leben
then i wait a bit cast Baumrinde while moving slowly in a big circle to avoid the puddles
Wait a bit till most of the stalagmite are gone and have clear path to move Cast Überlebensinstinkte and then cast Berserker ( I have Glyphe 'Berserker') then Zerfleischen.

While he in the Air
Cast 3-4x Heilende Berührung would recover any lost of health and I would cast right as coming to me I would cast Blühendes Leben
Next round CD for Baumrinde will be up cast it now depending on your health perty stay away from the boss lower dmg I take and have Rasende Regeneration

I just rinse and repeat.

Kommentar von 534473

Soloable as a warrior. Initially I tried as fury with a full soloing build, and managed to kill it with 10% health left with significant difficulty (you need all the soloing buffs such as scrolls/flasks/pots/bandages and a lot of DPS). However, I went back as prot with a better method:

In the hall just before slabhide, there are various packs of mini-rock borers (tiny adds with very low health). Do NOT kill these. Instead, clear the trash near them, pull them with demo shout, and head straight to the boss. After that it's pretty straight forward - single target the boss down, and when you have no other options for self healing, use improved revenge to kill an add and get victory rush.

Kommentar von Drudan

Soloable as an enhancement shaman (ilvl 375 at the moment).

Subspec into resto for Spark of Life and Focused Insight. Put Earthliving on your offhand (it may be possible with Flametongue but I found the increased survivability from EL crucial). Make sure you have Reistance Totem/Glyphed Healing Stream down to reduce the breath damage.

Don't pop your wolves right off the bat because he goes into air phase rather quickly. Pop them after he lands. Dodge lava pools and spikes of course. Bloodlust when you need more heals. Make liberal use of Shamanistic Rage and Stoneclaw shields. Bring health pots just in case. Air Phase is a great time to bandage or stand underneath and jump up to dps him to get MW charges.

For Everyone who wants Mount

If your in a group with 5 People, seeing the mount drop is 1%, so actually obtaining the mount is 0.2% So This is the Percentage of obtaining the mount
50 kills - 9.5% 1 in 10 people will get this mount after 50 kills
100 kills - 18.1% 1 in 5 people will get this mount after 100 kills
250 kills - 39.4% 2 in 5 people will get this mount after 250 kills
500 kills - 63.2% 3 in 5 people will get this mount after 500 kills
750 kills - 79.8% 4 in 5 people will get this mount after 750 kills
1250 kills - 91.8% 9 in 10 people will get this mount after 1250 kills
2000 kills - 98.2% 49 in 50 people will get this mount after 2000 kills
3450 kills - 99.9% 999 in 1000 People will get this mount after 3450 Kills
This means that after killing Slabhide after 3450, there is a 1 in 1000 chance you will not get this mount
If you want the percentage of it DROPPING , then divide the kills by 5, So after 10 Kills, there is a 9.5% of it dropping

For the people who are confused saying "no, if you kill it 10000 times its only 1% of it dropping" Think about this, i flip a coin 10000 Times, after 10000 times of flipping it, is it a 50% chance that a Heads will be seen once, or almost Completely certain that you would see it at least once.

Kommentar von 864326

I attempted to solo slabhide as an Arcane Mage tonight for the mount and found that I was unable to do it. I took Milhouse out and invised through the trash, then skipped Corborus and the adds that followed. When I started on Slabhide I blew all my CDs and had my mirrors tank him, also had a long period of damage while Slabhide was in the air. I was only able to get him to about 50% before he was attacking me and no CDs were available.

I'm ilvl 370, so perhaps a better geared mage specced to solo content may be able to do better, but I doubt it. Hope this helps!

Kommentar von NelleRavencrest

Slabhide have been bugged as hunter since 4.3 - If you just let your pet tank normally he will evade after he comes down from the air. Way to fix this is to just have your pet on passive and move it away from the middle while he is in the air, he will then properly attack it when he lands without evading.

Kommentar von 883127

Solo...Not that easy...Boss fight easy. The mobs are a pain...couldn't solo cos I'm Rouge but drop rate of 0.8% is low, so try running it about 120 times then U might be lucky. All U who got it sooner...Well done to you.

Kommentar von Diodor

I finally decided to give it a try as a prot pally in 396 gear (with deathwing sword for healing). I didnt drop a single time below 90% hp. Time to do some farming, whole run took about 20 min, i recon it can be done faster with invisibility pot to skip trash before Slab.

Ok after 10 kills I managed to drop my kill time to 9min30sec using inv pot for giant trash and using tank spec with full ret gear and str flask. I used seal of truth and lay of handed myself once on Slabhide but anyway its quite duable to clear the instance 5 times before the lockout :)

Kommentar von 836960

I might get downrated but I still have to ask you Mages out there:

Any Mage that have a "how to solo" guide for this boss? I would be very thankful and happy if someone could do that. If it is possible.

Tactic? Spec? Pots / buffs? Anything Will do, thanks!

Kommentar von Anieyu

Been soloing up to Slabhide in normal as a ilv367 Beast Mastery Hunter. I use a Spirit Beast for the mobs and healing and a Turtle for Slabhide. I just camo past Corborus and the mobs after. I can say that I haven't had a single issue with Slabhide evading my pet after the flying phase and I don't put him on passive during.

Kommentar von 411790

Been soloing in him on normal for the past few days as Bear. I was going in 10 times each day, resetting after each attempt, and got the Reins of the Vitreous Stone Drake on the 33rd run!

I skipped the flayers and did Millhouse's 3 little rampages then completely skipped Corborus, stealthing past the Giants and Flayers. He was easy to solo and well worth it! I did have to use Dense Embersilk Bandages during some of the flight phases but if I had enough health I'd bash him around during that phase to work down his health.

Again, this was just set on normal so simply reset and farm away. Good luck!

Kommentar von 909363

Normal mode is soloable by Frost DK. Though currently I have 399 lev, the trick here is NOT to start with the Army. I tried that 2 times and both times I wiped at around 9% left. Instead use the Army and Ghoul on the 1st Air Phase. Cleared easily without any trouble.

Kommentar von Rynna

Soloed him as a blood dk 377 item lvl on heroic mode. It was difficult and I had to stay on my feet the whole entire time. Things to be alert for include..

-The lava fissure's initial burst and aoe effect
-To not stand in the shadow where the stalactites drop
-Line of Sighting Slabhide when he uses his Crystal Storm, by hiding behind the stalactites that have dropped
-When Slabhide is done with his air /stalactite dropping phase he will use sand blast which will do about 40k, as a dk I used anti magic shell right before the end of the phase,to avoid the heavy damage this caused

Overall pretty hard fight, I was focused on the location of my character the whole time. Slabhide didn't seem to be much of a melee fighter, he took down most of my hp with his magic abilities. I think that I had close to the bare minimum requirements for soloing him on heroic.

Kommentar von 639556

This is soloable by combat rogues in Dragon Soul gear, though it's something of a luck-based fight. Make sure you're using this talent and glyph setup.

FIrst, you've got to handle the trash. Start by sapping one mob in the first pack(Earthshapers are a good choice), bursting down Millhouse until he runs away, and vanish. Stealth your way to the third trashpack, killing the rock borers on the way. Here, sap the Warbringer and blind a berserker. You should be able to burn down the Earthshaper, interrupting and stunning as needed, while dodgetanking the other berserker. Once they are dead, kill the second berserker, then the Warbringer.
Your Vanish should be off cooldown now, so go to the second trashpack, burn down Millhouse until he runs and vanish again. At this point, we can stealth past everything to Slabhide himself.

The fight itself: Open on Slabhide, get SnD running and build up a 5-point Recuperate as soon as possible. Save your cooldowns. Try to move the boss to the centre of the room so he doesn't move away for the airphase. As soon as he lifts off, pop Killing Spree, then Adrenaline Rush and pound away. When he lands, pop Evasion and dodgetank. When that wears off, use Combat Readiness and make sure Recuperate doesn't drop off. There will be a lot of incoming damage once CR wears off, so have Rogue's Draught ready. Your aim is to survive to the second airphase. When he takes off again, use a bandage and then go for the kill. Killing Spree should be up again, so make sure you use it.

Tips and Ideas: I can do the fight with no consumables other than a health potion and a bandage, but this relies on both dodging and Slabhide not getting a string of crits, and isn't a guaranteed kill every pull. Flasks will help a lot, as will a foodbuff. It may be possible to reduce the Sand Blast damage using Feint. As this is not a heroic boss, another way to improve survival (I hadn't done this) is to reforge some of your hit and expertise ratings into dodge - your dodge chance is the only thing between you and death for most of this fight.

Soloable as a 392ilvl demo lock, make sure to use your voidwalker and be careful on your threat, apart from that fairly easy, it's the trash before that gets me!

Easy solo able as a 378 ilvl protection paladin.
buffs:
Blessing of Might
Food
Elixer of the Master
Seal of Insight
Protection Aura

How i do the trash:
Place an skull on the berserkers than nuke millhouse till the earthshapers transform, kill the transformed earthshapers, nuke millhouse till 50% than kill the berserker(s), than kill the rest.
While youre fighting, use Word of Glory everytime its off CD, and use shield of the righteous everytime u have 3 HP and WoG is on CD.
do this for all 3 the trash group with millhouse.
now for the first boss, hug the wall on the left, and you will be able to skip him.
for this part, try to avoid the giants, but i find myself always have to kill 2 of them every run. it takes about 1-2 minutes to down one, so it really slows you down.
if you get in combat with them, just jump halfway while hes casting quake and when he spawns crystals use hammer of the righteous on them, = instant kill for me, else use Avenger's shield on them.

Slabhide himself!
Okay, notice that its easy to solo him, as long as youre very much moving
any form of lagg at the wrong moment can mean a death, since the lava pools do 3-5k per tick, and about 2ticks per second, and if u got 3 seconds lagg, you got 18-30k extra unneeded damage in your face.
But when he spawns a lava pool, about 3-4 seconds before that, you see a little crack in the ground, and some dust raising, if you see that, move, and you got no problems with him.
use word of glory everytime avaible
start with wings ASAP, use ardent defender when wings are over
keep ur guardian for when things get hard
when ardent defender is over, use divine protection, followed by holy shield, from now on keep those 2 on cooldown. after 3 minutes fighting, ur wings are of CD, use them again, and followed by ardent defender again
when he is at 20% health, and my guardian is off cooldown, i switch to seal of truth and pop my guardian, when my heal is getting low, i use LoH, and the last 20% is piece of cake!

i got 386 ilvl, BM/MM hunter (was BM at the time) and i thought id give soloing this a go...

the first time doing it killed no prob, no drop tho, then went to reset then died pretty much 10 times for the 2nd and 3rd go, 4th time i changed my pet, from Skoll to Terrorpene

pretty much stayed above 30% of its health with no panic of dying..
then i screamed
so shocked!
Happy as can be!
IT DROPPED :D

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERDFHGHMDHGUJERHGQUJADFHBUHG!1!

so, solo this as a hunter with my 386 ilvl with my rare pet was a breeze ;)

(can work with any other turtles or tanking pets i guess :P )

time i done this was roughly 4 mins ~

This is easily soloable as a prot paladin, without even needing Seal of Insight. It's easy enough to mow through all the Millhouse mobs, and you can skip Corborus by sticking to the left hand wall. If you're lucky, you can even skip the first stone giant. I used 2 pieces of prot for the T14 set bonus, and the rest of my gear was ret, total iLevel at 400. I also used an exp potion, but there're obvious better alternatives, but even that's just to make things quicker. Slabhide kill takes about 2 minutes. The whole process should take about 12, if you're lazy.
34 solo kills and counting...

Really easy to solo as BM/SV Hunter. For the Millhouse trash, just get a max range from Millhouse, nuke him till he flees, feign, camo, go to next group, rinse and repeat. Just camo around Corborus and all the mobs in the tunnel.

For Slabhide, Just let your pet tank, keep Mend Pet up, Misdirect or feign as needed, move out of the magma pools, stay out of the shadows on the ground during the air phase(s), and otherwise just nuke him down. Not a hard boss at all. If doing on Heroic, just pop Mend Pet right before he lands, maybe have your pet Cower, and get behind the stalactites to break LoS till Crystal Storm is over, then continue as normal.

Personally, I used a Spirit Beast (Skoll) for normal and a Shale Spider for Heroic. No consumables, just basic CDs (Rapid Fire, Call of the Wild, Valor Trinket). I also bound Mend Pet and Kill Command into this macro that alternates between casting the two.
#showtooltip
/petattack
/castsequence reset=6 Kill Command, Mend Pet
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
It also tells your pet to attack the target if it isn't already, it won't give one of those annoying 'Spell is not ready yet' messages if you like spamming keys, like I do, and if you wait out the 6 second CD on Kill Command without using Mend, it will let you use Kill again without having to use Mend first.

Good luck, and Happy Farming!

Der Steinerne KernCorborusPlattenhautOzrukHohepriesterin AzilPlattenhautSteinernen KernHeroische Strategie

Der größte Teil dieses Kampfes kann so zusammengefasst werden: steht nicht in schlechtem Zeug. Solange Ihr Euch von schadenden Einflüssen entfernt, solltet Ihr den Kampf gewinnen können.

trifft den Tank und jeden anderen, der vor Plattenhaut steht. Nahkämpfer sollten also an der hinteren Seite von Plattenhaut stehen.

Verschiebende Erde kündigt Lavapfützen an, die Plattenhaut dort entstehen lässt. Haltet Euch davon fern, sie können außerdem gut gesehen werden.

Wenn der Boss in die Luft fliegt, vermeidet die fallenden Felsen, indem Ihr einfach den Schatten ausweicht.

Kristallsturm ist die einzige Fähigkeit, die nur im heroischen Modus benutzt wird. Geht einfach außer Sichtweite, indem Ihr Euch hinter die Felsen stellt. Ihr solltet aber nicht zu nahe sein, da das Spiel Euch öfter als in Sichtweite einschätzt, wenn Ihr näher als 10 Meter seid.

Heroisch		Mythisch
Tödlich		Wichtig
