Second boss in Magisters' Terrace.

He will spawn adds once in a while similar to The Curator in Karazhan. They must be killed as fast as possible as they arc of energy as they fly around, casuing damage to the players.
Once the adds are killed, you can continue DPSing him down. He will shrink as he spawns the adds.

Normal Instance Strategy:

As stated above this is almost the same thing as the Kara - Curator fight.

His room is full of Mana Wyrm type mobs that come in groups of about 8-10. If you have a Paladin Tank they can pull the entire room while your AoE (if available) kills them in seconds. When they are all dead a Blood Elf comes, just another trash mob.

The boss is retarded easy (probably will get buffed). He spawns small wisp type adds that aoe anyone nearby for moderate damage. They die fast, and easy. Kill them first so they dont get into your dps/healer line and cause trouble. The boss goes down fairly fast as well, a good group will probably only have to deal with maybe 5 of these adds before finishing him.

On heroic mode he seems to spawn the pure energy all the time and it doesn't decrease his size.
The energy blobs do a magic attack on the highest threat target which gives you a dot as well as increasing the damage done (and size) by you by 50% per stack. It kept stacking until boss was dead so i don't think there is a limit.
As a druid tank i kept swiping, so the adds were on me. At the end i did 400% damage and was tall as a house, and had a ~2400 per second dot on me which lasted i think 20 seconds. (8 stacks)

I think best tactic is for the tank to try to aggro the energy, so he does more aggro and there is only 1 target to heal. Getting the dot on dps wiped us the first try.

edit: dot was worse than i remembered

I believe that this room is intended to be done in a very short amount of time. The Mana Wyrms just before him apply a stacking buff that increases damage by 1% (each stack), and lasts about 15 seconds, and they also restore mana when they die. Each of the large packs contains 25 Mana Wyrms (Which, when exploding for 150 mana, give a good amount of mana back), which equates to a 50% damage increase, on top of his neat debuff he applies.

Could this be an ethereal without wraps?

A rogue can use blade flurry, kill every add and do as much damage as he can and Cloak of shadows just before dieing.

A paladin can also BoP through the dots

I can't even describe my thoughts on this boss on Heroic. We have tried everything, I even went tot he AH and purchased some Arcane Resist gear. We are currently trying our shaman throwing on some healing gear and having 2 healers, and me (the tank) getting all of the adds.

I just don't see how this boss is possible, if you have done it please provide some help. My group does full Kara clears in about 3.5 hours, we kill Mag and Void Reaver...I mean, we aren't noobs, we don't have bad gear. But we have been trying forever and just can't seem to get him below about 11%.

:(

On normal, this fight is ridiculously easy. The method we did was assigning an order to the 3 dpers - each one would pop the Pure Energy in that order, to ensure an even spread of debuffs. However, it would work fine if you just told them to kill it if they had the same number of debuffs, or less than the other 2 dpsers, and to keep track of theres. Noone should gain more than 2 of the debuffs - if they do, they've killed one when they shouldn't have, or your dps is so low that you wouldn't be able to burn him through overload anyway.

In any case, the strat is simple...

1. Tank tanks and spanks like normal.
2. Dps dpses, but saves their cooldowns.
3. Dps rotates on killing the pure energy. All 3 can attack it, but if someone has more debuffs than the others (ie. one person has 1 and the other 2 have none) they should not attack it at all as they risk an accidental killing blow. They are very weak in any case.
4. At 15% blow your cooldowns and burn him down. Due to the +damage debuffs this is not difficult at all.

The reason that you can't let someone gain more than 2 debuffs is two-fold. Not only will their arcane dot tick for such a large amount that they risk dying (and removing a dpser from the fight), but if they do die, they also waste all the +damage they gained from the buffs - which is important in burning him through the overload.

Good luck, and enjoy the fight!

My strategy for heroic went something like this: I (hunter) used my pet to scoop 3-4 of the adds. After just one or two, I could easily keep him up with mend pet, allowing the healer to focus on keeping the tank up. By the time the DoTs killed my pet, we had the boss low enough on HP that we could finish him off without any people dying.

In the General chat inside Magisters Terrace, people were saying this boss was quite easily doable on Heroic mode. What they neglected to mention was that they were T6 geared.

For our group of competent guild players, SSC/TK level of gear, we found this boss to be insanely hard on Heroic.

Normal mode, sure, he's a walkover, well, maybe not a walkover, but quite easy. Heroic mode, he is a pain in the backside (and thats the most family friendly choice of words I can use). We went through 1 repair bot and another hearth/summon repair before giving up, and our best try was only 10%.

He spawns 2 arcane adds at once, and our group composition was Rogue, Mage, Warlock, Paladin, Warrior. We used the Rogue to kill the first 2, then Cloak of Shadows out of the Arcane dots, then the mage nuked the second 2, and Ice Blocked out. The mage then used Cold Snap and grabbed the third spawns, and Ice Blocked again.

However, the damage was still to insane for our poor Paladin to heal through, and we gave up after wasting a shed load of gold.

From the comments from the 'pro' guilds on my server that have actually completed Heroic mode, this boss is easily the hardest one in the whole instance on Heroic. We were getting so annoyed that we were even contemplating Soulstoning the Paladin and seeing if we could run through and past the boss. Crazy.

Just a heads up for anyone that intends to attempt this boss.

This boss is actually one of the easiest in the instance on heroic. At first we did like every1 else, full throttle dps and just hoping for the best (resulting in somewhat like 5 wipes :D). We are all in Kara - badge and a little SSC gear

We had a somewhat decent group consisting of:

Fury warrior
Prot pally
Holy Priest
Ele shammy
Boomkin

At first we tried going full out dps on him, only resulting in all of us having the debuff on the same time. The wisps? he spawns are based on how much hp he is at, the first one spawns at around 85%.

I(Fury warrior) swapped into my PvP gear, equipping a shield in defensive stance (to get most dmg mitigation and more hp).

We DPS'ed him to 85%, i would kill both the adds, the boomkin would heal me and only me while the priest took care of ele shaman and paladin.

When second round of adds came i would kill those aswell, still only having the boomkin heal me, not dps. The ele shaman would stop dps untill my debuff (25 secs) wore off. Then he would dps again untill i once again got both the set of adds (4 debuffs total), and when they wore off id kill the next set of adds (the last set at 25%), and we would all go full out dps to get him from 25 -> 0 with the boomkin still healing me.

This is like i said a very easy encounter if you have just 1 offhealer, and you controll your dps. It took us around 3 mins to kill him and it was with everyone still being at 50% mana when he died.

Anyways, if you arent full T6 this is definently a viable and good tac to get him down.

Worth noting is that, at least for a Dwarf Priest, the stairs can cause LoS issues. As a tank, I noted this far too late. Beware, shorties!

A macro to target the Pure Energy helps quite a bit. Also if you're rotating DPS on them, you can add something to say that you're on it.

/target Pure Energy
/say Attacking Pure Energy

Ok: Tank goes ahead to tank it.
One of you dps the boss and when he spawns the pure energy: Hit it (had a mage kill them with one hit from his wand)
The rest: DPS the hell out of him.
Healer: Heal the tank and the one that kills the adds (killing the add results in 3 or 4 hits that dmg between 200-600 dmg each time)
When the boss hits 10% hp, nuke him FAST or the overcharge MIGHT wipe you all.

It worked perfectly, hope it helps:)

This boss is trivial on both difficulties. There is one strategy if you want to ensure victory every single time, and that is simply to slow down. The faster you damage the boss, the less time there is between adds. If you don't have massive DPS (thus you are unable to power him down in 30-45 seconds), then you can use the slow and steady technique.

Engage boss, damage it until the first adds spawn, immediately stop DPS (except the tank, who keeps up aggro). After 30 seconds, the debuffs wear off whomever had them (as a tank, I try to get at least one). Once the debuff wears off, light the boss up again. Repeat until 15%.

At 15%, hit the boss with everything you have.

I've done this boss twice on heroic (as of this posting). The first time we simply powered through it and escaped with a narrow victory (after a few tries).

The second time, we tried to power through but our DPS wasn't nearly as strong as the first group. Thus, the fight dragged out long enough to let everyone get the debuffs (they were stacking 5 and 6 high), yet we never gave ourselves time to let the debuff wear off. This resulted in a couple of wipes.

Being frustrated that we had beaten this boss on Heroic before, without nearly as much trouble, we decided to try something different. Unfortunately, one of the group members did the old "alt-f4" and we were left with 4 members.

Not ones to give up, we decided to give it another go without the 3rd DPS. We easily killed Heroic Vex with only 2 DPS. Besides me (tank), no one really even lost much health.

Give the slow and steady method a try, it really makes this boss a joke.

If you have a warlock or a hunter in your group this strategy works very well. Have the hunter/lock use htis macro:

/petattack

Whenever an add spawns press the macro and the pet will run off and kill it. Pressing the macro does not cause you to lose your target so you can freely DPS. I am a hunter, and my pet lived through 4-5 adds before dying to the dots. By that time the boss was at 10%.

The taking it slow strat seems like a good idea, but if you let your pet take the debuff it can only help.

評論來自 141005

He works same as first boss in mana tombs
spawns adds evry 15% so slow dps on boss ..

85% stop dps 1 take down the adds , healer top evry1 take another 15% , rinse and repeat really easy if you take your time. only the tank on dps is enough to bring him down between the phases.

adds = 85% 70% 55% 40% 25%

i was tanking it with my crafted arcane resist set to ease on the heals

Heroic Strategy: Hard and Fast

Boss Abilities:
2 Pure Energy Add Spawns (Arcane Damage): Every 15% (85, 70, 55, 40, 24)
Arcane Shock: 2500-3000 Direct Damage and a 400-500 every 3 seconds over 12 seconds. (source)
Chain Lightning (Nature Damage)
Melee (Arcane Damage)
Overload (15-20%): Stacking Debuff that increases arcane damage by 10% with each application.

Add Attributes:
Any Damage Kills Them(Thorns, Molten Armor, etc): When killed places a debuff on you that does 300 arcane damage per tick, per stack and increases your damage by 50% per stack.
Until they are killed the (appear to) do a frequent AE arcane arc that hits for roughly 3k on everyone who is near.
(source)

Dealing with the Adds:

If you want to go hard and fast you need to soak the Pure Energy spawns. The quicker you kill them the less AE damage they can do. We used the following macros.

/target Pure Energy
/cast Ice Lance(Short Cast Spell)

The above macro in some form was mashed by the class chosen to eat the dot. The dot can be removed with cloak of shadows, iceblock and possible other abilities. For a rogue, eat two every time cloak of shadows is up and available. For a warlock, eat at least 4 and then drain life with the fel hunter(higher resists) to reduce the dot, for a mage, eat 4 if you have a secondary healer and then iceblock it. Near the 30-40% mark dps should try to all get 1 debuff so you can go nuts on DPS.

Our group composition was Warrior, Priest, Fire Mage, Enh Shaman, Demo Lock.

Our Warlock used their Fel Hunter for arcane resistances, killed the first two sets (4 adds), that's a 200% increase in power, and then just kept drain life ticking away and was able to heal themselves basically with no heals.

As the mage I took sets 3 and 4. I DPSed between the two and immediately iceblocked out of the 2nd set to reduce healing requirements.

The Enhance shaman put on healing gear to assist our priest. This boss has EXCEPTIONALLY low hitpoints. We didn't need 3 DPS here.

Our Warrior used 100+ arcane resist and it reduced his incoming damage considerably.

We found that with kara/Gruul/ZA level gear the boss just died way too fast to try and stop dps particularly with a stray dot ticking, we wound up getting to the next spawns before the Debuff wore off while our DPS was stopped.

Notes:
As a mage using molten armor if I got tagged by a Pure Energy my Molten Armor would kill it and put the debuff on me.

THORNS: If you have a druid and want the dot to stick to one member of your party I am GUESSING that you could put thorns on the tank and the first AE pulse would kill both spawns and but the dots on the tank.

Use the Debuff To Power Through Overload: Overload is BRUTAL. The warlock had 4 stacks of the debuff and I picked on up just for the last 20% to get him down faster. Don't be afraid to use it. You almost need to.

Key Words:
You will note as soon as the event starts he says "Drain Life." it is my guess a warlock could kill every add spawn and stay alive by keeping drain life going.

If you have 3 dps and 1 can heal, heal, 2 dps is PLENTY. The healing is rough though.

remember to have hunter in party, let his pet take all the adds until it dies the boss should be low health by that and then take the adds in row and save mana until its 10%

or if there is not a hunter then 1 guy takes alot of adds (prefer mage)

Just did this on heroic, wasn't that hard. Setup was:

Paladin Tank t4ish gear
Holy Priest BT/MH gear
Fire Mage TK/MH gear
Shadow Priest Crafted/MH gear
Rogue BT/MH gear

I (Mage) took the early adds then iceblocked off the debuff, then took them again. With decent group healing and one person on the adds this fight becomes really easy. Don't give up

評論來自 Kallikrates

After having killed this boss a few times it is clear to me that he is very easy on Normal and the hardest part of the Instance on Heroic.

Now on Normal we just zerg him, we do not assign players to take the debuff we actually compete with each other to kill the adds first and then see who can get the biggest hit :-)

On Heroic though we take it slow, I (Warlock, second highest HP after Tank) take both adds when they spawn then we switch off all DPS until the debuff has worn off. Rinse and repeat then nuke at about 15%. With this strat it is only difficult if people are not paying attention so good luck if you want to pug it, so far I have only done Heroic with a good guild group.

Drain Life strat sounds more fun though I am going to try that next time. I will definitely die at some point, hopefully after the boss has but if I get all 10 debuffs can you imagine how high I could crit O_o

EDIT: Tried the Drain Life Strategy with an off-spec Healer healing me as well, while our main Healer stayed on Tank. Made the fight trivial, of course I died at the end but my Drain Life was ticking for 2K which apart from healing me very quickly is also very high DPS as well.

Wow, i can't believe I'm the first one to post this but on heroic...

The pure energy spawns every 15% (85,70,55,40,25) and then the next 15% he'll be at 10%, when he overloads.

評論來自 134676

Heroic Vexallus

Also, i want to add that after trying many different things for this boss, including downing him with those methods... we found that the easiest method is to just bring in another healer to take a DPS's spot. We had a pally healing me and a resto druid raid healing. EASIEST THING EVER, i swear, take it steady until 10-15% and then have all the dps explode on the boss.

Basically what was going wrong with 3 dps was the boss was getting owned to fast, more and more orbs kept going on the dps'ers (all ranged) and the debuff kept stacking on whoever was killing them, so this was very stressful for the healer. 1 less DPS gets rid of the problem with too much DPS and the extra healer for group healing will let you one shot this boss everytime or you can transfer to jaedenar and i'll pay your repair bills.

評論來自 Jderache

Easiest strategy for heroic mode:

1) the TANK(warrior in my case) kills the adds! (just use the TAB key to change targets easily; the adds die from one Devastate but seem to be immune to Thunder Clap).
2) all melee stay far from him, which means that only the tank will need healing(just like in any other common situation, so no party-healer is needed).
3) all ranged dps nuke boss! If there are no ranged dps, you can even let the tank kill the boss since he doesn't have too much hit points anyway(it depends on your healer if he can heal well the tank and at least one other melee dps but there's no need to die for nothing at this boss; remember, there is no enrage timer :) ).

Chain Lightning is Nature damage, so nature resist buffs such as shaman totem or aspect of the wild should prove usefull during this fight.

Just a small note for healer priests, the dot from killing the adds won't make mending to jump.

This seems like a very situational strategy for the group,
Group:
Fire mage (me), late kara epics
MM hunter, late kara epics
Combat rogue, kara epics and pvp gear
Feral druid tank, early kara epics and heroic gear
Holy priest, pre-kara gear

I put Dampen Magic on everybody except the tank. We engaged the boss, and started dpsing. When the first set of adds spawned, the hunter's pet took them. The second set, the pet took one and the rogue took the other. I dont remember how many other sets of adds spawned after that, but I took down two and the rogue took the rest. The rogue CoS'ed the debuffs off at 3 stacks, I actually never used Ice Block.
When Overload started, the rogue and I leaned on the Pure Energy debuffs to dps him down fast. He barely got off two overloads before we killed him.

Moral of the story: One or two stacks of the dot will help you kill him in overload phase, and by the time you are running heroics you should have a large enough health pool to support it.

Just found a great method for this boss, if you dont have any rogues/mages, you can dps vexallus down very slowly, and wait for debuff to expire... just simply outhealing the damage.

My group wiped 4 times to him (at heroic) and got him down with 1st try by using this strategy

評論來自 62635

I have to say to all those people saying this boss is hard, that you're just doing it wrong, i did this with a pug, i'm in s1-s3 gear with maybe 2 non pvp items, (arms warrior)
Basicly we had 1 resto druid, 1 prot war, 1 lock, 1 spriest and it was a total laughing stock
I took all the adds and ended up with a 300% damage bonus and burnt him from 40% down to nothing in a few seconds with the resto druid going all out and the spriest backup healing, now i'm not gona say this is fool proof because at any stage i could have fallen over flat on my face, but the tank was aborbing a fair portion of the damage via taunts, it just turned out to be a lolrus of a fight.

For Warrior tanks tanking Vexallus;

This has been noted many times above, but I just wanted to reiterate the efficacy of using a macro to target the pure energy adds Vexallus spawns. The PuG group I completed heroic Mag. Terr. with had some trouble with the adds because of the buff you receive from killing them. THUNDERCLAP does not deal sufficient damage to the Pure Energy spawns to kill them, so you must use cleave or whirlwind. I suggest the tank takes the first two buffs. As any war tank who’s done this instance knows trying to tank Vexallus and kill two orbs can turn out to be chaotic; make a macro; (I was not sure how to make a macro to automatically switch stances, so I changed my stance manually to 'beserker' and popped 'bloodrage' and hit macro)

/target pure energy
/cast whirlwind

This macro worked like a charm…did not lose aggro on Vexallus and merked the first two orbs quickly. Then the rogue, mage, and hunter took the next debuffs. Our priest had no problem healing throughout this battle. Just my input : )

we went on a 5 man grp with mage, hunter (me) Pala Druid tank and fury warrior...

i used a macro:

/target pure energy /petattack

to let the pet attack the adds.. when pet died i ressed him quick so he could attack the next pack
mage also helped on the adds

評論來自 warhowl

The KEY to this FIGHT is steady DPS don't try to nuke him down as it will make the adds spawn faster, after every add wave slow down dps so the healer can catch up with heals.
if your group does that then it's pretty much easy fight.

a note: hunter pet and warlock pets can take up the debuffs aswell making the fight even more easy

Anyone know if the debuff is resistable with high enough arcane resist?

評論來自 Cott

Put a warlock in some AR gear (greens from AH will do, and Violet Eye trinket helps.)

I'm able to outheal the damage from the Pure Energy's debuff on me up to 4 stacks with just drain life and siphon life with 160 Arcane Resist.

Even when he overloads I'm almost able to keep myself alive without outside heals (Almost. Still needed a bit of love from the priest.)

Also, have a Voidwalker out and use a macro to make him eat the first two energies. If you get Fort and Kings on him he can last long enough to eat 4.

Something like

/target Pure Energy
/petattack
/targetlasttarget

works for me.

As on normal mode (Not tried on heroic), Warlocks can soak up the debuff and drain life to keep themselves up.

Tip for Paladin tanks on heroic mode - if you don't want to eat any orb debuffs, make sure you turn off retribution aura and unequip trinkets such as Darkmoon Card: Vengeance (use Violet Badge instead).

Vexallus Strat (Heroic)

When approaching this boss, there is a room full of huge mana wyrm packs. When you kill them you get a bonus to the damage you deal, so it is advisable to pull them as quickly as possible then move right on to the boss so you maintain the damage bonus when you get to him. They also regen your mana when they die so theres no need to stop and drink (similar to the wyrms before curator)

Boss Spawns 2 adds at a time, approximately every 20% of health loss. The adds have basically no health and can be one shot by almost any attack. If you dont kill the adds, i beleive they do some heavy chain lighting type attack to the party.

Killing an add has a debuff and a buff. For each add you kill you take damage every second (approx 300 damage for the first add, and it increases exponentially.) It also buffs you with a bonus to the damage you deal.

The boss goes down pretty fast if you lay DPS on him, the key is to not over work your healer by taking too many debuffs on one person. You can definitly remove the debuff as a mage by ice blocking, I would assume a pally shield would do the same, and possibly a rogue vanish.

As a General strategy I would have a mage take 3 debuffs (kill 3 of the adds as they spawn) then ice block, and then possibly kill 1 or 2 more. Have a warlock kill 2-3 adds and drain life the boss. Another handy strategy is to use a warlock or hunter pet kill a couple adds, the warlock can then sac his pet before it dies. The tank can usually safely take 2 debuffs and still be managable to heal. Also in general spread 1-2 debuffs around the party. Basically any party make up can manage as long as everyone has an idea of how many adds they can kill and still be managable to heal and such.

made it easier on the healer and as a tank i put on my arcane resist gear... i was at about 280 buffed (MoTW) and took around 600-1000 arcane damage. I was mostly in cloth~leather stam+resist gear, greens that i found on AH cheap! It works wonderfully since he only does arcane damage.

and yes i did this on heroic Mr.T

Just a note on the Pure energies:
I´ve always managed to kill them with one shot from my Wand. I doubt they have more than 200 health.
Personally - If I designed a mob called "Pure Energy" I'd make sure that it only had 1 health.

The group I use for this is:

Prot Paladin (me)
Shadow Priest
Resto Druid
Survival Hunter
Fire Mage

First of all, and I know this is known, but I'd like to point out, that this boss and adds deal nothing but arcane damage. So, having high arcane resist is a great thing here. Also, some don't clue in on right away that such damage ignores all armor classes. That being said, here's how we do it, and we never have any problem.

The most important people in this fight are the DPS. The tank just has to hold agro. To make it much easier on the healer, I equip my Violet Badge, Cloak of Arcane Evasion, with +12 def and Arcanoweave Vestments with +15 def on chest, +12 def on wrists, and +12 stam on boots. I also use The Fel Barrier with +5 resist all. Without any buffs, I have 197 arcane resist. This allows the healer to focus more on the dps and mainly put hots with a few big heals on me, if needed.

First, the spriest picks up the first add, just to get the 50% increase in damage. Takes some damage from it, but hots from the druid keep him up. The hunter sends the pet in to take as many adds that the pet can take. This allows the dps to focus fully on Vexallus. The pet lasts till almost 50% before finally dying. Once that happens, the mage picks up the rest of the adds and nukes the boss. When the mage gets too low on health, he ice blocks, the druid heals him to full and he does it again.

Usually, Vex is down before the mage has to take add duty again, so we don't have to worry about it. Along with spreading out to avoid the chained lightening, and doing all of the stuff I said above, we have no problems in this fight. It makes Heroic Vex seem just as easy as any normal boss fight.

Heroic:

I realize my strategy for this boss might be a little out of reach for some people but it's submitted from my character's POV (Prot Pally).

If you notice, his damage is pure Arcane which means that a clothie could essentially tank the guy AND the flares if he had 365 Arcane Resist (for a lvl 71 - no need to be AR capped) and the heals. So I crafted the following:

Cloak of Arcane Evasion: http://www.wowhead.com/?item=30831
Enchanted Adamantite Belt: http://www.wowhead.com/?item=23510
Enchanted Adamantite Boots: http://www.wowhead.com/?item=23511
Enchanted Adamantite Breastplate: http://www.wowhead.com/?item=23509
Enchanted Adamantite Leggings: http://www.wowhead.com/?item=23512
Ring of Arcane Shielding: http://www.wowhead.com/?item=30825
Pendant of the Null Rune: http://www.wowhead.com/?item=24098
Soulcloth Gloves: http://www.wowhead.com/?item=21863
Soulcloth Shoulders: http://www.wowhead.com/?item=21864
Arcanoweave Bracers: http://www.wowhead.com/?item=21866
+Violet Eye Trinket

That'll get you to about 367 AR not including MotW or any other racial buffs or whatever. BUT what that essentially means is that the prot pally can now run around and consecrate kill all the flare things and laugh at the measly damage. His normal 3k-4k hits were instead hitting for around 500-700 which can typically be HOT'd through.

Even if you can't afford the gear, just the mere knowledge that his attacks hit for AR damage helps significantly as it means you can stack less defense/shield rating/shield block rating and more stam and pure avoidance (dodge parry).

The entire set costs around 1600g if you wanted to craft it from scratch so it ain't cheap; but I already had all the mats and it does completely trivialize the fight.

In heroic by having your tank just kill the adds with 300+ AR and stacking the debuff on him works better than your dps killing them?

評論來自 jbob

Anyone try using a shaman's Magma Totem to kill the adds? Will the shaman still get the debuff? Are the totems strong enough to kill the adds?

評論來自 Shorty

The key to this fight is not *who* kills the adds, but how fast you can. While the DoT is annoying and might kill someone if they get it stacked too high, the adds WILL kill people if you leave them while you debate about who kills it and let it AoE the group.

On normal, it might be best to simply have the tank kill them all. They will be killed by any attack instantly and the threat boost is handy; and you should have more than enough HP to live through the DoT even when Vexallus overloads.

On heroic, have the tank try to kill at least one add on every wave. The other should be killed by one of the DPSers. Use common sense here; while you want to avoid killing an add if you already have 3-4 of the debuff, you also don't want to let it run loose if the other DPSers are distracted.

I've found that if you save all your cool downs for that last 10% of the fight it really helps. With the exception of the shaman's BL and Fire Elemental which you would probably want to use around 40%-50% so you ge the full effect.

The last 10% of his life is the most dangerous and where most people/groups die.

In heroic, I tank this boss in pure Arcane Resist gear (375 atm). I resist over 75% of the dmg (aside from the overload and pure energy dots which can't be resisted at all), and the dmg that he does cause to me is easily replaced by a renew or even an earthshield. One thing Eltankadin failed to mention is that you dont need plate to tank this guy. Since ALL his hits are pure arcane (aside from a random nature dmg chain lightning) I recommend picking up green's off the AH and filling your toon with them. He'll hit you for 4k Arcane if your wearing plate or cloth, so save yourself come coin and live green.

The only catch to this is making sure you can generate enough threat to hold aggro, so I recommend keeping one key peice of gear, like pants or chest, and your weapon, to help boost your stats, but other than that, greens are legit for this.

This way if your group doesn't like waiting 5 minutes to kill a boss, you can have one dps go full out on the boss, getting all the adds, and the healer just spam large heals on them. Last run our Shaman was bigger than the boss cause he had 8 debuffs + Bloodlust!

Easy way to tackle adds/debuffs on heroic. You need a hunter (pref. BM) or warlock for this tactic to work.

Two adds will spawn at 85%, 70%, 55%, 40% and 25%. Use pet to engage and kill both targets. When pet dies, revive/summon it again. Rinse and repeat. When he reaches the overload phase, full DPS.

I use Mend Pet after the first two adds, and then just let the pet die after the second wave. For the third, fourth and fifth wave, I revive the pet and don't bother healing it. Revive Pet is 4 second cast time

This is in my experience the easiest way to deal with Vexallus on heroic mode. You pet It might be a bit angry when the fight is done, but hey.. that's what Feed Pet is for, right? :-)

Currently there's a bug with this encounter which makes this boss much easier than intended.

There are 4 candlestands in his room. If you stand between one of these and the pillar next to it, you will not receive the Energy Feedback debuff after killing a Pure Energy.

If your healer is having a hard time trying keep up both the tank and the rest of the group, just tell a dps to stand in one of those places and kill the adds as soon as they spawns.

I stacked Arcane Resistance gear (292) on this boss as a tank and it became enormously easy. I was able to solo the overload phase with only a healer with me... So tanks, grab that Arcane Res set!

The pure energy add's shouldn't be out long enough to to even do their AE.

If they do set one out, your DPS isn't paying attention, and should be kicked.

This mob has a strange resemblance with a Protoss Archon from Starcraft...

The general look, the attacks formed of energy, nearly the same quotes... Amusing :D

Just like to make a most likely helpful addition. The candles on either side of the hallway can make this fight enormously easier. If you can wedge yourself midair between the candle and the wall, the debuffs from destroying the charges go away instantly. this eliminates the need for rotation and makes this fight easier for everyone.

On heroic mode of this boss we found the easiest way to kill him and handle the adds at same time was to have a hunter and a mage with cold snap+ice block, we had the hunters pet take the first 2 adds and let the pet die, while we dpsed him fast, now he has 8 adds left to spawn, the next 4, have the mage take all of them while you have the healer throwing heals on him, the moment the mage has 4 stacks of the debuff he ice blocks to cancel it, the he cold snaps immediaetly, by the time he has the last 4 on him again the ice blocks debuff will be gone and he can ice block again. i was the mage doing this and we found it works very well with an off-healer

Took all the adds as a fire mage with no healing or iceblocking.

It appears there is a glitch, whereby if you tand on the skirting boards behind the very thin trees in the corners before the stairs, then you can attack, but you are out of LOS for the debuff, thus suffering no ill-effects.
Make this boss epic EZ mode, even on heroic.

Seeing as healing through overload and the add debuffs is a pain in the rump, that has likely caused more then afew groups to wipe.

Here is an alternate strat for him that my group does in the heroic.

Soulstone the mage (or LOLadin/Rouge if thats what you use)
(note: the entire strat is based on having a soulstone or a shaman with reincarnate up if you don't use either don't bother reading.)

First 6 adds spawn the mage ice lances them all and continues to burn the mob untill he dies. (pop a health pot and healthstone untill you have all 6 to help stay alive)

After the mage is dead, use the soulstone to get back up take the last 4 adds as they spawn then just ice block them off.

No more adds and no more extra dot damage to worry about, much less heal intensive at that point even with overload. we kill this boss without any deaths (other then the single intentional death) 70% of the time.

With 6 of those debuffs on the mage should be blasting for 10K hits easy before they die as well, makes for a very quick fight. Also with 4 debuffs after the intentional death I critical for 12k easily before i need to ice block off the dots.

This is my armory btw:
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Zul%27jin&n=Rinion

If i can execute this strat with my low hp, should be way easier for someone better geared or someone with a set of mage tank gear.... which I need to get.

Alternativly this could be done with a rouge or LOLadin who have similar skills as iceblock. Also, it could be done with a shaman if you lack a warlock, he could probably take close to 8 if his HP is good then reincarnate after death leaving only 2 adds to deal with.

We ussualy use me for this becasue of how quick a mage can kill them with ice lance

I agree with pyro, on heroic if he is DPSed too fast, he can have multipule groups of sparks out at once, whiping you. Every 15% health you should stop dpsing and kill any sparks that are still alive.

This boss may be considered one of the best for Huge crits. Each debuff giving you 50% dmg with 10 avaible debuffs in heroic mode. This will result in a 500% damage increase, which is pritty much the Ultimate Crit test. I've tried this only one single time so far, and it was insane.

Setup:

Prot Warrior
Demonic Sac / Affliction warlock (highest possible CoD, respeced for this fight only(me))
Shadow Priest
Resto Druid
Resto Druid (my privat healer)

Reason we have two resto druids was just to keep me alive, while the priest kept up missery and Shadow vulnerbility. With both druids hots full on me, I barely got off an CoD with trinkets, orc racial, Amplify curse etc. Once curse on him I died, priest kept on using rank 1 pain whenever he had to renew the duration of shadow vulnerbility. Best thing to do as a lock, get max stam gear as well as tons of spell dmg.

Result: Skipped Overloard, the curse hit him way over 50k

Happy hunting, this is deffinately worth watching. Next up: Execute Warrior and Mutilate Rogue :)

Did this today as a Demo lock. Make up was:

Prot Warrior (tank)
Resto Shaman (heals)
Mage (DPS)
Demo Lock (DPS)
Rogue (DPS)

A strategy with this "standard group makeup", is to have a Warlock.

All I did was throw DoTs on with CoD, and have my Void Walker (VW) at the ready. My MOD pops up when he releases energy so I knew to use the macro listed in the comments here.

My VW would take the orbs real quick, fast enough they didn't get shots off, and then I would immediately have him hitting on Vex. Refresh DoTs and Immolate then immediately start casting another VW.

My multiple VW's took all of the orbs while the other group members focused on downing Vex.

To note, pop VW sacrifice shield when Vex is down to 10% to avoid unnecessary death.

Wow what can i say about this boss? But dam it was so hard. As a Druid Healer it was pretty challenging. what i did was Hot up the tank and the person Taking Flares. When he overloads thats when the Fun starts. I Use Bearskin and Pop tranquility and hope that he is dead before Tranq finishes. After that idk what any healer can do. FYI im at 1900 healing with Kara nad badge gear

The key to this fight is most definitely killing the adds ASAP. Most healers can keep up the DPS through the debuffs, but simultaneously taking the 3k AOE from the adds will usually lead to a wipe.

Use a targetting macro to kill the adds as soon as they spawn. Warlocks are especially great for this fight since they can simply spam drain life with any number of debuffs and heal themselves through it.

This fight is very easy if you have a warlock or hunter.

For adds 1,3,5 or 2,4,6 just have their pet kill them, unsummon the pet, then resummon the pet. Unsummoning prevents the aoe, and by the time 2 more sets of adds are out their pet is back up.

Heroic walk-through.

Simply put this can be an awful fight.

The boss will continually spawn adds who will AoE Arcane damage to everyone within a decent range. These must be dealt with.
Nominate your two highest damage ranged DPS for 'add duty' These will be called Players A and B for this walk-through.

---Tank: highly recommend at least 150 arcane resistance as this fight is nasty on damage and the less damage you take the more healing your group can take. Do not be fooled this gear is wipe saving. a set of 200 Arcane resist gear (Enchanted Adamantite is a good base + AH greenies, do not worry about going below 490 defense for this gear as the resist you gain is worth far more than 0.20% crit chance)
--Healer: Keep everyone topped off as much as possible.

IMPORTANT: When the adds are killed the person who killed them takes 300 damage per second for each of these adds they kill, they also gain a large + spell damage bonus.

Step 1: Tank takes boss and builds aggro; everyone have some damage/DoT's on the boss.
Step 2: Boss spawns 2 adds: Player A single targer nukes them into atoms.
Step 3: Damage boss.
Step 4: Boss spawns 2 more adds. Player A nukes these as well.
Step 5: Damage boss --- Healer heals player A as they are now taking 1200 damage per second.
Step 6: Boss Spawns two more adds: Player B nukes these.
Step 7-8-9: Same as 3-4-5 but for Player B.

Step 10: At 10% Vexallus Overloads. When this is announced NUKE THE BOSS. Nuke him like he just keyed your car and put sugar in your petrol tank.
--- The boss does 1000 damage per second increasing by 100 damage for every second so it ticks like: 1000, 1100, 1200, 1300, 1400: This damage is UNRESISTABLE and is NOT AFFECTED BY SHIELD WALL.
The only real way to do this from this point is to nuke the boss down FAST. Save cooldowns, trinkets, healthstones, the lot.

Iceblock removes the debuff fro killing adds along with Divine Shield and such.
I cannot see the point of Shield Block for this fight as I have yet to see a blocked attack from Vexallus: use your rage elsewhere Warriors and Paladins will feel the pressure: use your angel wings abd do everything you can to build aggro: you will not need much for the first part of the fight but at 20% you better pray you can hold this bomb of a boss.

Congratulations: you just downed the hardest boss in Heroic MgT, collect you badge and epics.

Well I had a 4man group with a shammy tank kill this boss in heroic today so I can say it's pretty much easy stuff aslong as you got at least 1 mage or 1 rogue with you. Basically we had the shammy tank the boss with kara shield and s2, a resto druid healing and me (blue/crafted epics mage alt) and a s2 hunter dps the boss. I was taking all the adds on my mage by just tapping alt and ice lance and ice blocked after 3 waves (6) adds,

Heroic tip for Druid tanks, when he hits 20% (slightly before 15% overload) pop out and cast barkskin + tranquility. No need to tank him at that point and it can keep up the DPS that extra couple of seconds longer to down him.

Works even better with a druid healer doing the same thing.

評論來自 Eaglesight

My best advice to my fellow warriors is to use the ability "Shield Wall" to handle the adds, it's awesome for the job. I rarely use it in other occasions so it's really the ability for the job.
I can take around 6(!) adds with Shield Wall popped right after taking the first 2. Doing this allows us to down the boss without much trouble, maybe I die, but its worth it rather than having 10 attempts with noobs who don't know when to deal with adds.

A custom setup was:

Restoration Shaman
Enhancement Shaman
Combat Rogue
Destruction Warlock
Protection Warrior (me)

I ordered the Rogue to take 4 adds & use Cloak of Shadows afterhand, then I said I would take the rest of the adds.

評論來自 204815

3 best tips for this boss IMO.

1. No add should be alive longer than 3 seconds. Period.
2. Go slow on dps since adds spawn at boss health %'s. Speed up when he overloads.
3. Everybody (tank too) but healer should try to always keep one debuff stack on them.

tip 1 is where most people fail.

評論來自 122372

I am not sure they fixed this, but on my warlock I ran HMGT 3 times (normal once) and each time we faced this boss we schooled him. What I meant by "fixed" is that as a warlock, I would searing pain the adds, but I would be behind one of the candles in the hall (there is one on each side of the red carpet). When I schooled an add, I wouldn't get the debuff. A resto-druid told me about it on the Boulderfist server, and this guy has been a joke ever since.

In fact, if I ever run HMGT again (my druid maybe for some healing gear), I'd be more worried about finding good dps to burn down Kael before he shields up and does pyroblast. If you can get past that and the phoenix then you are all good :D

I must incline that Vexallus has one of the best voice acting in the history of WoW, I've been listening the whole time to it! It's so...mysterious and threating... feel free to downrate this, there just have to be someone who agrees with me ;>

This boss can be soloed by an 80 proc pally. It may take a LoH if you waste your bubble to early, but its definitely possible. As stated in the posts above, you MUST kill the adds as they pop up. I would heal or auto-attack till the debuff wears off to kill the DoT under control.

How to solo Vexallus on Heroic Mode:

Step 1: Be a prot paladin

Step 2: Be level 80

Step 3: Make sure LoH is up and ready

Step 4: Have righteous fury and sanc on.

Trick is, survivability. I tanked using seal and judge of light. I also had sacred shield up. Take the first four sparks. Then, when you get really low, use LoH. As soon as you do that, just blow him up and take more sparks if u can handle it. I didn't, but if you think you can do it, go ahead. When you get low, bubble, heal if you have to or pot (by this time, you might be oom), and finish him off.

It does help to have the 4pc bonus of the valorous set, for the 3 extra seconds of bubble. But still, it's doable. Just in case anyone was crazy enough to do it.

You have to use the sparks to beat him though or they will kill you.

A note to Death Knights looking to try this: The Energy Feedback multiplies the healing done by Death Strike, making it very beneficial to let the buff stack as high as you can. You'll take damage from the DoT, but heal yourself for so much more, and kill the boss much faster to boot.

Soloable as a feral tank drood in T7.5 gear.
Just need to kill adds as soon as they pop in. Blow ur barkskin as soon as boss is casting his first spell. Hit ur barkskin (it will be up when u reach this point, thats why u blow it at the beginning) then survival instincts then frenzied regeneration if you are bellow 20-25%.
When he is near death, berserk and maul/mangle him to the end.

SOLO tactic
Class: druid
Spec: Feral
Save CDs until you have 3 buff on you, except the FR.
When you have the 3 dmg boost buff on you, pop Berserk, Survival Instincts, Enrage if talented. Burst down the boss, but look out for the adds also, hence they damage a lot.
Hope this helped, got him on the first try with this tactic. (Failed several times with other tac)

Update (heroic)
don't use any CD till 4 add have been killed.
Useful macro:

/target Pure Energy
/cast Lacerate

After you got 4, pop all cd and spam mangle+maul. Worked for me :).

It's VERY hard to do solo this boss, mainly due to the fact that you'll take alot of damage from the sparks he releases. A healer will make your life WAY easier if you're trying to solo/duo this boss/instance.

If you want to know; I found out the hard way :)

edit; I gathered all of my courage and kicked his behind at my second try!

Solo'd on heroic as a feral druid. Gear mostly 213/226. I wore all my dps gear and the Violet Badge from Karazhan since all the damage coming in is arcane.

Stealth past all the wyrms in the room. There's a pather that is generally there when I enter, but if not, the path is long - up to you if you want to wait. The fight goes quick. Here's what I do. At the stairs, regrowth, then bear form pull a pack of wyrms. Once that's done, pull another pack. You want to get 25 stacks of the buff (25% to damage, lasts 30 seconds). Now, leave one wyrm alive (not necessary, but handy). Shift out, regrowth and rejuv, go bear, kill the last wyrm, and engage. It's a dps race. A glyphed maul is nice to kill the sparks that are summoned. Killing sparks DoTs you, but increases your damage. (edit: removed glyph maul & berserk to kill the sparks, I was wrong) at some point if you berserk, your first hit will kill them, giving you the big buff at once (and increasing the DoT), but you'll be spam mangling and he will drop fast.

Sidenote: I've done this w/o the trash - so that isn't exactly necessary, but it's worth the extra dps in the beginning.

Good luck!

Soloable as a Holy Paladin. Tossed on Kings and Seal of vengeance and weedled him down. It's slow going, which is good, so you don't have overlap on the sparks. Once you get him to overload part, it's smooth sailing since he stops meleeing you. I'm in mostly Naxx25 gear with some Ulduar10 items.

Just Keep 5 stacks of vengeance up, and I judged Wisdom to help with mana. Then just heal the damage and Judge/melee swing etc to damage him. Don't go too crazy, once you get the 2 sparks, he starts going down faster, so Spark overlap comes closer.

Herioc Mode Resto Druid Soloable:

PVP spec: 27/0/44
PVP Gear: 23k HP / 14k mana pool / 2.1k sp

Really a pretty easy fight. Just slow up your dps so you don't get too many adds out. The slower the fight the better. Barkskin is godly when you get a few stacks of the debuff. Innervate if you need and nuke him down at the end.

Soloable on Heroic Mode by Resto Shaman, PvE spec with PvE gear (4pc T7.5).

Basically just autoattack and keep Searing up (along with WoA, SoE, and Mana Spring). Earth Shield isn't necessary, Riptide and LHW spam should keep you up. In fact you need the mana from Water Shield vs the healing from ES, so use that instead. When sparks come up, simply autoattack them. Try to let the debuff stack wear off before the next set of sparks.

Save Earth Shield and Fire Ele and potentially NS+Heal for the overload, nuke down with Flame Shock + Lava Burst at the end.

And no, this isn't soloable as Elemental, at least for me (4pc T8.5) It was too much damage, so I just switched over to Resto to zzzkill the boss.

80 Prot pally/ret offspec Heroic MgT soloing guide:

You don't really need stellar gear, I was able to do it first time I tried with a mix of 10 Ulduar/25 naxx.

1. Trash - as prot, kill the healers first, use your interrupts; as ret, repentance physicians, Art of War whenever it's up. Clear a path from the instance portal to Vex, you'll use it later. Much of the trash after Vex can be safely skipped.

2. Selin Fireheart - easy as either prot or ret, save interrupts for when he gets a life drain off on you. Don't bother killing the crystals, you'll resist a lot of the aoe. I have yet to die by his hand solo'ing

3. Vexallus - hardest boss to solo by far. I tried many different strats, but I wanted one that didn't rely on LoH or bubble - rather I wanted those as emergencies in case I screwed up execution or got unlucky. Best way is to take him down as ret with a kite strat. On engage, pop wings, dps him fast until first spark spawns. Since he stands in place when summoning sparks, you can get a good lead on him quickly, then pop off a Holy Light or two to get healed back up (make sure you are using instant FoL on Art of War and keeping SS up). By popping wings immediately, bubble will likely be up if you screw up along the way. Keep moving back to the start of the instance - the sparks are much slower than Vex and will never catch up with you (unless you get yourself stuck in terrain along the way). Continue dps'ing and backing up, and when he pops a new round of sparks get some range and Holy Light back to full. If you do it right, when he overloads you'll have full health and at most two sparks and no debuffs to deal with. If you get in trouble during overload, pop a health pot or use LoH or use bubble wall.

4. Priestess Delrissa - I do her as prot, longer fight but I have yet to die solo'ing her as prot. You can either grab a mage guard for the healing debuff bubble or just faceroll it. Don't bother clearing the trash, they don't come into play, engage her and her pals where they stand. Save your interrupts for when she's low on hp, or just let her run oom. By the time she's oom you've probably killed one or two other mobs. Alternative strat is just to ignore her and kill whatever add you feel is most dangerous, again just running the priestess oom.

5. Kael - I tried this both as prot and as ret, I find it easier to get done as ret. Use fire resist aura. The key to this fight is get him to 50% w/o any phoenixes up, then it's just dodgeball. One possible ret strat is simply burn him down to 50% before he casts pyro. I tried this and got overwhelmed by phoenixes, plus the problem with this strat is if you get a flamestrike in a bad spot, then you have to back away or die to phoenixes plus flamestrike. Strat I use now is simple priority - kill phoenix when up, dps kael. He'll usually be at about 60% when he pyros, simply bubble thru it. Either way, make sure you open with wings and burst as best you can before a bird pops. Once he's at 50% you're in gravity lapse phase. Deal with any remaining phoenixes first (they don't respawn if you kill the egg in time), then just dodge the arcane spheres, heal when necessary, and dps Kael when you drop on the ground.

Enjoy your solo farming!

If you want a tough solo fight at 80, here you go. This guys attacks are completely Arcane damage based, so unless you have alot resistance, prepare for the pain. He never missed my 80 Prot. Pally, and even though his individual attacks were not hitting really hard, he chains them together rapidly and had me dead with him still sporting 3/4 health. Lightning and Shock were both hitting between 1100 - 1800, and his "melee" swings (arcane damage also) were around 1300-1400. We won't even talk about the adds. Even using all cool downs including LoH and DS it was no contest. On the positive side, you can actually dodge and block some of the attacks, even though they are based on arcane (magic) damage.

Mind you, this was all on "NORMAL" mode, good luck soloing on Heroic, gg. All I gotta say is make sure and bring a healer.

Very easy fight in heroic mode as an epic geared bear tank, but very easy to mess up if you don't do it right.

All you need to do is make a macro key to "target pure" and put it in the "1" position on your bar. Make sure things like lacerate, mangle and mail are in 2,3 and 4 for easy access.

Start the fight like normal cycling through mangle, lacerate maul etc around the global cooldowns. When you see the "Pure Energy" spawn side to side hit the "1" key to target them and knock them down with mangle (best choice) or maul if this is on cooldown - pressing 1 again to target the second one when the first one drops - you may have to turn your bear to face the given spark a bit to avoid "the target needs to be in front of you"

Repeat this for the second lot of sparks and as soon as they drop pop barkskin, any dodge/damage mitigation trinkets you have, frenzied regen and enrage - Once you have got through all that popping, new sparks will be up - pop berzerk (don't waste it early in the fight, save it for the more frantic later part here), continue to mash on "1" so you are always targeting the right thing and just mangle spam till he's down.

Remember, the key here is killing the Pure Energy, not the boss himself. As you kill more energy the boss becomes lower on health.

I just soloed this with level 80 feral druid on my 4th try.

Stats:
2819 armor
%36.94 dodge
32797 hp

Talents:
0/59/12

Strategy:
Before you go in the dungeon, first get a stamina food and Guru's Elixir potion to make this boss more easier. On the boss road, you can either kill trash or not it's your choice. But if you act faster after killing the trash, a damage boost would be helpful of course. After you pass the trash, cast Lifebloom 3 times, then Regrowth, then Rejuvenation, then Lifebloom again to make it lasts longer. After you did the last bloom, shift into bear fast and attack the boss. Until the sparks come, do all of your attack on him (such as Lacerate, Faerie Fire, Demoralizing Roar, Mangle) but DO NOT use any abilities with CD. When the sparks come, use your Berserk ability immidiately to kill the sparks faster, after you killed the first 2 spark, other 2 spawns very quickly, kill them too. Then use your Barksin to lower the damage you get. Meanwhile, if you have healing potion use it. The most important thing on this part is to kill sparks fast. Because the more spark you kill, the faster boss dies. After you kill approx. 8 sparks, boss gotta have 40,000 - 60,000ish HP. When boss have this kind of low damage, use your Survival Instincts and if any of your trinkets provide you more HP use that too. If you can make it this far, boss should be dead by now.

After this many tries and consumables, orb didn't drop. Shame.

But I'm glad I find out how to solo him so it'll be more easier to kill now.

Just Solo'd Him as an 80 NE protection warrior...
No Block set or anything fancy just Ulduar 25/ToC gear

Before you pull i highly recommend making this quick macro:
"/target Pure Energy"

(Pure Energy cannot be killed by AOE effects and sometimes targeting them can be tricky, and they are quite necessary to soloing this encounter)
____________________________________________________________________________

To start stack 5 sunders up on Vexallus and make sure you do a Commanding Shout (This will help later)

Destroy the first Four Pure Energy's

Pop Shield Wall, And go to town on him, use Bloodrage or Berserker rage if you run out of rage

Keep damaging him as hard, and fast as you can

If you drop below 30% health, pop Last Stand, (Make sure Commanding Shout is up for the extra healing), and use Enraged Regeneration ____________________________________________________________________________

With this strategy I managed to down him with around 20% health remaining, the four stacks give you a pretty nasty damage over time effect but the bonus damage effect helps tremendously.

Solo'd as an 80 holy pally in a mix of crafted and 'roic gear with no enchants. Based on what I read here I thought I was a goner, but he wasn't terribly difficult. The key was to always keep sacred shield up, keep healing, and take out the adds as soon as they spawn - pretty much the rule of thumb for any holydin solo fight. It's a long battle but he'll go down.

It may have also helped (slightly) that I had a +15 magic resistance potion on.

Vexallus Solo Guide
Protection Paladin

Seal: Seal of Light
Judgement: Judgement of Light
Blessing: Blessing of Sanctuary
Aura: Devotion Aura

Additional: You can do the "Open for Business" daily quest before going in, to get Bloodberry Elixir, which gives you +15 all stats. Could be a help, if you don't have any other potions.

Do not use Consecration for this fight, as it will not do any significant damage, but still takes alot of your mana.

Start out with Avenging Wrath, kill sparks as they appear. Keep Sacred Shield and Divine Plea up at all times, except from when you bubble up and heal. When you've killed 4 of them, wait for Argent Defender to save your ass, then bubble up to clear the debuffs. Heal to full, or as much as your mana allows you to. So far so good. Try to kill the sparks while you have the bubble up just to get rid of them.

Now this is the tricky part. Do not kill the remaining four sparks, or you'll be dead beef when he overloads. Rather, burst the boss as much as possible, and use Lay on Hands when you're getting low, then burst him to death.

Tested and works. You should have some HP to do this, I did it in a mix of Naxx 25 / Ulduar 10 / Emblem of Conquest gear, with two pieces of T8.

Good luck! I had to try different strategies on this dude 5 times before I finally brought him down.

Edit: This guide is for the Heroic version of him. On normal you can just AW and go lolwtfbbq on him.

One of the easiest bosses I have ever solod as a demo lock. Very simple. Send your demon in and just go slow till he lets out two sparks. Have your pet pick them up. Get him to 50% and have your pet pick up these sparks. At this point do not do DPS to the boss. Your pet will be doing 200% more damage, have him pick up the next sparks, use health funnel for the rest of the fight to keep your pet alive. Once your pet reaches 400% more damage, enrage him, and Vexallus is done.

On my 80 shadow priest, I thought this was impossible to solo. I saw a video of a priest just standing there and nuking vexallus down, but after 4 deaths I realised that wasn't working for me. I also tried doing a /target Pure Energy /cast Mind Flay macro but that still resulting in my priest imploding.

After a bit of consideration, I figured I'd go back to the good old days of dot kiting... shoved VT, SWP and DP up and literally ran all the way to the start of the instance, reapplying all 3 dots whenever needed. At that point, he was at 20% health, and I nuked him down with the aid of my shadowfiend... the pure energies never even caught up ^^

This was a ridiculously easy way of killing him (i dropped to 70% health only, though I had plenty of times where i could have cast renew if i needed/wanted to) and I'd advise that both priests and warlocks try this if they are having trouble... it seems we may have an easier time than the plate classes for once :)

ps - if you do use this strategy and are a priest, remember to clear a path to the start of the instance by actually killing, i forgot once (using mind soothe instead) and encountered a little snag in one of my runs!

For ferals (and possibly other tankin classes) that are having a hard time handling with the large periodic damage from the adds and the DoT, I suggest running backwards and picking up a Sunblade Mage Guard (hopefully you left one alive) to "borrow" his Magic Dampening Field (before engaging Vexallus of course). The field dramatically lowers the damage taken from the adds as well as the boss.

As a fury warrior, the easiest and funnest solo in the whole instance. Downed him in about 15 seconds. You can one shot the adds with cleaves, and by the time you've killed 6 of them, you can absolutely murder the boss with 40k+ bloodthirst crits.

An easy way to solo this as a Protection Paladin is to grab the two first packs of worms in the room to get the buff going, then stick to one side of the room and grab that pack as you pull the boss. Your Consecration should kill them by the time the first Energy orbs spawn.

Kill the orbs and throw a Hand of the Righteous at the remaining pack of worms and go to town.

This results in a 100% uptime on the 25% damage increase buff, on top of the extra damage from the orbs. Using this strategy he died before the third spawn and I didn't even get below 90%

I wrote this in the comment section for the Pure Energy thought that it would be helpful to most ppl mostly paladins and blood dks.

"Seal of Command will hit these mobs and kill them asap, and since command now hits two other mobs as well as the one you're focusing on they will go down really fast.

Watching yourself grow to a giant is funny as hell.

Edit: Blood Dks Heart Strike does the same it seems, tried it with my dk."

Thus as my daily routine of farming MGT HC I do Vexallus in this fashion. With my ret pala and Seal of Command i get him down in 12-15 secs, 12 seconds being my fastest downing so far and the recorded dps of that fight goes from 11000-15000 because of the empowerment from the Pure Energy.

edit: grammar

Heroic is soloable with an 80 rogue in T9s with some T10.

Need the Drums of the Wild and Flask of Lesser Resistance.

It is a DPS race where he literally does crushing DPS at the end of the fight. I did not bother with adds or AoE (except killing spree at 60% to regen energy) I just DPSed him down You need a solid rotation so you do not energy cap ever, dots are mediocre here because the fight does not last the full length of a stack for dots.

Since you take more damage as the fight progresses save Feint, Adrenaline rush, and Cloak of Shadows for the last few seconds of the fight. You need the mitigation and you need the adrenaline rush to kill him quickly when he is below 20%. Using adrenaline rush and other DPS cooldowns early just causes him to spawn more adds quicker and increases the length of time he has them up DPSing you during the fight. It comes down to using you cooldowns and damage mitigation effectively. I used nearly every one a rogue has.

Without Drums of the Wild I could not get him below 3% before i was blasted from 40% to zero in less than a GCD. Drums really made the difference.

Good luck. This can be a challenging fight for a non healing low stamina class.

Edit: After reading the comments above, a possibly better tactic would be to kill the adds to get the buff. I dunno, didn't try it. Rogues have low intellect remember?. I just went stabby all over him. XD

The way to solo him at 80 is to get him to 85%, kill the two adds asap when they spawn (they only have 40hp), and then NUKE the boss as hard as possible.

As a lvl80 5.3k GS feral druid, after the two adds i had to go bear and blow all my CDs. It was close, but posible.

As a ret pally i just soloed this boss by attacking walking backwards if i got low on hp i would just bubble and heal very easy. but i also soloed this as prot and i just used SoL and JoL and just used LoH when i was low on hp.

Soloed as a 80 Blood DK (Glyph of Disease and Death Rune Mastery helped me muchly), Diseases, pest, HS, DS, Empower Rune Weapon, DS, DS, Pest, by now he will have adds so just spam HS the rest of the way down, you will pick up all of the adds Dmg Debuffs and 1-shot him when he is on like ...30k HP if you are lucky! My highest crit is 41k with HS

Haven't seen any hunter posts, but just follow the same general strat. Send pet in, kill about 4 adds, then blow bestial and nuke. Have a pot ready just in case.

For soloist and mount farmers: Vex is not linked to his local trash. The boss before him, however, Fireheart, is linked to his Wreched trash mobs.

As of 4.0.6, this fight is bugged... WITH AWESOME. There is currently a glitch with pets where they'll retain the "debuff" if dismissed, so have your pet kill the energy until it's stacked to around 5000%, dismiss and summon again when you're ready to have it obliterate everything in sight.

Nuke it at 20%. Save all your CDs for this and hope that you bought a decent healer with you
