Easy achievement. Follow the fight course as intended, when he's around 250k hp stop dps and let the tank get him to 15 stacks and finish him. Use defensive cooldowns after 10-12 stacks.

Edit: forgot to mention, don't rush to get from 0 to 15 stacks, his aoe will kill your party. Patience is key! Good Luck.

This achievement is earned by letting the debuff stack on Karsh 15 times before killing him. Each stack will increase the damage he takes by 5% while also increasing the damage that you take from his AoE. The AoE only happens whenever he is 'dunked' in the fire pillar or is standing on a lava patch spawned by the adds. You do not need to leave Karsh in the fire pillar to quickly get him to 15 stacks. Instead, you should try to 'dunk' him in the fire pillar to stack 1-2 debuffs at a time. If your tank does not feel comfortable with dunking him in and out of the fire pillar, then you can have one of your group members stand on the opposite side of the pillar and taunt/distracting shot him before the debuff wears off.

The debuff only lasts for ~15 seconds, and once it wears off he will revert to quicksilver armor mode rendering him almost completely (99% less damage) invulnerable to your attacks. Every time the debuff falls off, the surrounding grate will erupt in flames dealing heavy damage to anyone who is standing on it and spawning 3 imp adds. The imps do not need to be killed, but if they are, they will drop a rather large lava pool on the ground. The lava pools act exactly like the fire pillar does (stacks debuffs on him) and if you don't move him out in time you can quickly overwhelm your healer.

Stay alert and slowly stack the debuff up and you should easily earn this achievement.

Just did this achievement, and tried a few things out.

We found that the lava puddles spawned by the adds despawn after awhile, but sometimes the lava effect on the boss is still there even though the animation is gone. Our tactic was to bring the boss to 15 stacks, by going 6 stacks, 10 stacks, 13 stacks and then 15 stacks to keep some stress off the healer, and decided to do this at the start of the fight while everyone still had everything off CD. After this we just kept bringing the boss in and out slowly to 5-6 stacks untill he died after an 8min long fight due to mana issues and slow regen time.

In conclusion, in case anyone wonders, you don't need to kill him while he's at 15 stacks, he only needs to reach it once. There's no enrage, and there is always 3 adds that spawn, it's easy to pull them away and kill them so you don't instantly deal lava damage to the boss.

Also, the debuff lasts for about 10seconds before it falls off, so unless you have insanely high dps, compared to our 6-10k as of 12/12/10, it will take a few dips to get it down.

We did this on accident. :P

Got him to about 7 stacks, then blew every cooldown along with bloodlust and wasted him without ever spawning an add. It felt glorious because we were wiping hard trying to manage the stacks, kill adds, etc. Myself (afflock) and shaman were over 17kdps and the other dps was around 13k. If you have those kinds of numbers, you can pull this off without ever worrying about adds.

Hey just did a video of the achievement if you guys want to check it out! Explains mechanics and a basic strategy for the achievement.

The boss does not need to die with 15 stacks on him. He just needs to have reached 15 stacks sometime during the fight.

What you want to do is have your tank move the boss into the fire, have the boss gain a stack, and move him back out. When the debuff is about to run out, the boss needs to be dragged back into the fire to gain another stack.

Continue this process of "move into fire, move out of fire" until the boss reaches 15. From there, let the boss reset his stack and start all over again. The adds can simply be off tanked while the boss is finished off.

I found this achievement easiest by:

Getting the stacks every now and then (3-4 at a time) till at 15, and boss probably die somewhere at 15 stacks.
The change made it a bit easier, as they wont wear off as fast.

But when I did it, we just let the tank do as normally, move him to fire when buff was about to wear of, and he got new ones. Getting 15 from start is to hard for any healer I guess, and you will get adds if you keep waiting for next time.

If fight is done as Blizz made it, you'll get it sooner or later. If not, get a tank that can control it as I said earlier. 3-4 stacks each "dip". If you cant do it by then, well then get a good healer. All about tank doing right, and healer known when to AoE heal. Simple as...

When tanking him remember that he will gain 1-2 extra stacks as he comes after you, depending on how you move. You can clip him into the fire so he gets just the 1 stack. We did the achievement ago by letting him get to no more than 7 stacks each time till he was really low, around 300k. Then just left him in till achievement popped.

Make sure not to over-complicate this achievement. We spent a good 3 attempts trying to be fancy with this where we'd get him low, drop stacks, kill the adds and sit around waiting for our healer to get mana back then stacking them 5 at a time so the AoE didn't kill us etc and didn't quite get it.

Then out next attempt we just popped lust at about 5 stacks and burned him. Our tank accidentally went from 7 to 11 or instead of resetting his stacks and the boss started getting low. At that point we just said screw it and went straight to 15 without ever having an add phase since our healer was still almost at full. Worked like a charm.

In short, if you have the DPS (doesn't even need to be that much, had our tank at like 8k and the DPS from 10-12k), just burn straight through from 1 to 15 without an add phase. Trying to do anything complicated just eats away at precious healer mana.

As a tank, I tried putting his debuff on by just walking backwards and kiting him through the fire when his stacks were about to wear off. Then a guildie suggested a new strategy, and it's worked every time I've tried it:

Pull the boss when he's on the far side of the fire, and stand in the middle of the ring with the fire to your side. When his stacks get low (about 2/3 on the timer symbol) strafe through the fire to the other side and let him follow, then reposition yourself to strafe through the fire again, rinse and repeat. If you watch his stacks and the healer keeps you up (using your damage cooldowns is definitely not a bad idea), you should be at 15 stacks by the time he goes down, and not see a single add either.

I suppose the only way this method won't net the achievement is if the DPS is so high that they burn him down before he gets to 15. But the average PuG probably won't have that problem; in one encounter I topped the charts, which just shouldn't happen as a tank.

(And don't let any death knights in your group use Army on him, or you'll never taunt him back through the fire before the adds come up and kill everyone.)

We got this today by bringing him down to 500k and then letting him get the stacks and burning him down. Easy.
