This is a 5-man level 80 dungeon where you get to fight on dragons for the first time. Players can control healing, tanking, and DPS drakes in this nonlinear dungeon.

Kommentar von MonkeyPower

Please explain to me, i'm a little confused.

Well lets think there is 6 drake classes to choose from in the oculus. Lets think that those classes are (Those are not real classes in the oculus)
-Elite Guard (Tank)
-Warden (Healer)
-Assassin (Melee Dps)
-Berserk (Another Melee Dps)
-Chronomancer (CC Class)
-Defiler (Melee,Caster)

Ok now 5troll rogues that go to into the oculus. One of them takes control of Warden drake. One takes control of Elite Guard drake. And 3others take Defiler drake, Berserk drake, and Chronomaner drake. Do u understand now what this means?

It is unique in the way it allows each player to control drakes with specific roles (tanking, healing, damage dealing) to complete the dungeon.

Kommentar von Starfox

You still need a normal instance group, tank+healer+dps.
The dragons are used to fly from platform to platform, as the whole instance is more a huge space of floating platforms. And you need the dragons abilities to fight the dragons of the blue dragonflight flying around there.
There are only 3 to choose from:
Green, Red and Bronze, all with 2 unique abilities.
But once you got to the a platform, you hop off your dragon and fight some trash, except for the last boss, for whom you need to ride those dragons.

Awesome instance that just brings something new to the table, not just "here is route A, take it, kill everything, and no, there is no route B". Really nice to something done a bit different :)

As for the colors, as no one else seems to have mentioned:

Red: Tank
Bronze: DPS
Green: Healer

I was the tank in the run so I thought it natural to use the red. It's breath weapon chains to multiple targets, it has an evasion type ability that has a 5 second cooldown and requires you to have "evasion charges" that I'm not currently sure how work, and an ability called Martyr which lasts 10 seconds and has a CD of 10 seconds that redirects all harmful magic abilities to the caster. The "Martyr" ability didn't show up for me until after the 3rd boss.

Side note, the last boss bugged out and when into perpetual-evade mode for my party. One of our party went too close, aggroed and was killed by the boss before everyone was in range and he seemed to stay in the spot he was in when he killed said party member, kinda twitching around but not regaining HP like normal evading mobs. We tried many things, including having everyone leave the instance for 10 minutes, but in the end we gave up and weren't able to complete the instance.

Kommentar von 178064

I did it on Heroic (which was pretty hairy on the last boss).

Bronze gets a channeled debuff which adds 100% to all damage done to target over 10 seconds and Time Stop, which freezes the target for 10 seconds, with a 1 minute cooldown.

We had a Red Dragon tanking, with two Greens healing and two Bronze doing rotations with the debuff and Time Stop.

Some preliminary remarks on the Oculus, since it seems to have a lot of people confused:

1) You use the drakes for a large part of the instance, but for every boss except the last one you fight him on foot, like all the other bosses in the game. Thus you still need a regular, balanced group (tank, heals, DPS) to get through this dungeon.

2) There are 3 colored drakes that you can ride in The Oculus: amber, red, and green. Judging by their abilities it's pretty clear that red is the tank, green is the healer, and amber is the DPS. You can split up the group any way you want - 1 red, 2 green, 2 amber, or 1 red, 3 amber, 1 green, etc. There's no restrictions on which drakes the party chooses, and drakes can be swapped out at any time by re-visiting the platform with the dragons on it, but each party member can only have one drake at a time.

Note that if you exit then re-enter the dungeon via the artifact at the beginning (which acts as the instance portal), you will lose your drake summoning item. This means you'll have to run through that first section to the portal that takes you to the dragons' platform to get a new drake, since flying mounts don't work inside. The trash does respawn after a while (I'd guess an hour), so you might have to re-clear this first section again.

Dying does not strip you of your drake summoning item - you can re-enter, mount up, and fly.

On a side note, 'Oculus' is another word for 'Eye'. Nice recycling of Tempest Keep Blizzard.

Kommentar von 238371

note that you get achievements for having none of a certain drake. for example, if you have 2 red and 3 greens but no amber, you get the achievement for having no amber. theres one for the absence of each color :)

Kommentar von Arathanar

There are three drakes found in this instance, controlled by players. You find these drakes after fighting Drakos the Interrogator, the first boss of the instance. While I may be wrong, the only boss you may use the drakes on in the final boss, Ley-Guardian Eregos. You may freely choose which drake to use, regardless of your gear, spec, or class. These Drakes use the new vehicle system, and are therefore NOT considered mounts.

Red: Tank

Green: Healer

Bronze: DPS

'Oculus' is Latin for 'eye'.

Kommentar von Psychowolf

Note that this is for Heroic only, you don't get an achievement for doing it on normal.

Kommentar von Poldaran

I was wearing my Kirin Tor Tabard, so I received rep with them. Others not wearing tabards reported gaining Alliance Vanguard rep. I would assume it's probably like that in all dungeons.

Kommentar von Seahenar

Yes there is a need for a tank and a healer. The first 3 bosses require you to get off of the drakes and fight. As do the mobs you have to kill to make the 2nd boss spawn.

Kommentar von 255829

Ive done this dungeon now on both normal and heroic multiple times, same thing basically on both difficulty. As a tank, this is what i did;

Drakos the Interrogator: First boss - Is a tank and spank, avoid the weird adds from what we have seen.

Varos Cloudstrider: Second Boss - Take out the sentrys on the platforms, and any blue dragons close by in the air. then have everyone stay close, in melee range when u initiate the fight. The first blast you wont see the electric lines (they are blueish/purple) but the rest you will see about 1/4th of the platform lit up by these things, STAY OUT, he will turn and nuke that area for about 7k easy. Which is why all ranged stays close, move around the guy and outta the electric field, it moves counter clockwise (for at least the times ive done it) Random dragon adds spawn, any good healer can heal through the damage of the dragon add who beams random players, it does about 1.5-2k dmg but again if u stay outta the field and just heal through it you should be ok, avoid it if u can though. Thats it, this boss is actually really easy once you get the dance down.

Mage-Lord Urom: Third Boss - Follow him around 3 platforms, he will spawn adds, take adds out and meet him on center ring, from there ranged stand behind one pillar and tank him in place away from the ranged. Again any good healer can heal through the frostbomb which does an aoe dot (bout 600 a tick) and slows character movment. He will randomly teleport to the middle of the ring (in air) and start casting, any melee and the tank need to get back to the ranged behind that pillar ASAP! does about 12k dmg easy. as a warrior i intervene to my healer, then drag out the boss to the same spot. He does a timebomb on a random player as well, basically that player just needs to move away from the group, healers need to top timebomb toon off quick.

Ley-Guardian Eregos: Last Boss - First! Go into battle naked! so incase u die, ur items wont take durability reduction (ur on a dragon anyway throughout this fight) We do it with 3 Bronze (dps), 1 Ruby (tank), 1 Emerald (healer) Dragon. Clear the whelps before the fight just in case, Ruby initiate the fight and spam your first ability, take the first blast and use ur evasive maneuvers for the second blast, which will keep u from getting hit and allow u to get healed on and off throughout the fight. When adds appear have 1 of the bronze dragons stop time, the ruby dragon then targets a whelp and spams first ability, which will leap frog to them all and the freeze time will increase dmg and take them out easy. The only job of 2 Bronze dragons is to cast the temperal rift, which will increase dmg done to the boss, the 3rd bronze spams his first ability. When boss phases out, fly away as fast as fkin possible! rinse and repeat. Actually very easy and fun fight.

Thats it! enjoy the loots!

Kommentar von 118464

Hmm, how would you do the "No Green Drake" achievement? Be kinda hard to do the Heroic without a healer-drake.

Kommentar von Mortenz

Jumping down wont kill you, you will get teleported outside the instance gate.
You will lose your dragon that way tho, so you will have to pick it up. (You can use ground mount inside the instance.)

A good way to not lose repair bill if you are about to wipe.

This is no longer true, since it was changed so you do plummet to your death if you jump down from the instance.

Kommentar von 160603

I'd imagine chaining a few bronze tme stops and racking up some serious lances

Kommentar von 27308

done it with 5 amber ones, when ur drake is low hp, leave vehicle, and resummon, then rejoin the battle
we just aggro rotated with one keeping the 100% increased dmg buff up, until 10 stacks of shock charges were up per char, then bam, like 10% hp off each time.
really easy when you watch the number of debuffs your putting up when you do it.
on another run, my amber ended up tanking because the damage output was so much more than the tps of the 2 red dragons we had (that was normal however).
dont forget that you get parachuted when you leave your drake, so just leave directly above the platform, if you have to.

edit: this bug got fixed, but the boss is still resettable.
the easiest way to do this is currently to take 1 ruby, 3 amber, 1 emerald.
emerald keeps up 3 stacks of their primary nuke up on boss (focus target works awesome) and heals those who need using their life giving spell, touch of nightmare is totally unneeded unless u go for the 20min achievement and dps is paramount.
amber rotate their time stop (stun) and uses AFTER drakes spawn. no1 directly nukes them, they die from ruby dmg. nuking rotation is: channel temporal rift till you have 10 shock charges on bosses debuff bar (usually takes 9-10 secs of channel to achieve) then use primary nuke.
ruby just spams primary nuke on boss - unless some drakes are out of range, when the boss is NOT stunned, use martyr, take the first 2 hits and use ur evasive charges to use ur evasion spell.

at some stage a minute or so into the fight, the boss will go into banish form. he is unattackable and summons 5 orbs (one per party member). at this point EVERY party member should start to strafe around the boss (preferably the same way).
to aid this u can mark the healer. at the end of the banish phase u need to end up within 40 yards of the healer, so by marking him everyone has a focal point to get to after banish phase ends.
time stop as banish ends, let ruby down adds, then back to the usual.

Kommentar von xeyne

Any know what the rep reward for a run here is? Normal and Heroic

Kommentar von 265036

It is very possible to 2-man the final boss on the drakes. We did it on heroic with a green and a red, since the rest of the party died. The red kited at max length around the entire circle while using evasion, while the green also went around the circle but closer to the middle keeping 3 dots on the boss at all times (you don't have to be pointed at him to cast from the drake), so the green could get ahead of the red one and have time to stop to cast the healing funnel. Took us about 15 mins and spawned a lot of whelps, but it was lots of fun.

Even after all that hard work my plate hand piece still didn't drop >.<

This strategy may help those who are going for the single color drake achievements.

Kommentar von 261700

Yuck, this is a pretty tough instance if you haven't read up on the boss fights pretty extensively. We came out dying multiple times at various bosses. There are important tricks to each boss that you have to understand ahead of time. I don't recommend trying this instance without at least one person that can prep the group.

Kommentar von 182913

Using combat-dropping abilities like Vanish or Feign Death. W/o an ability like that I guess you're SOL.

Kommentar von 71125

Ok healer perspective:

You'll get a green drake.
He comes with 2 talents at first:
Leeching poison: https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/spell=50328
Touch of the nightmare: https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/spell=50341

Basically you can't heal until you get to the last boss. Just keep spamming your debuffs on the tanks target to kill the blue drakes as you fly from platform to platform

When you mount up for the last boss you get:
Dream Funnel: https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/spell=50344

This is a heal with transfers YOUR life to the tank. So the way this works is you need to keep 3x stacks of leeching poison on the boss then switch to health funnel on the tank. If you neglect the poison you'll die.

Kommentar von 282514

i solo'd the drake fight at 1.4mil HP on heroic with a emerald drake. we were going for both the amber and ruby void achievements and my group died off but i had the wide counter clockwise circle path down while straffing away and ley would shoot me a couple times and stop to charge and get out of range. as long as i got my 3 stacks of poison on him before i got out of range again i was back to full HP before i got shot again.

the whelps were no issue because of the wide kiting.

key things:

stay way way wide. about 10-20yrds out side circle of the outer ring (by outer ring, i mean those 3 platforms).
don't worry about resetting him, if you strafe on the same height as he is at the beginning then you are fine. just don't fly above him or below him, there is a bug that he might reset if you do this.
it will take awhile, took maybe 10min to do 1M HP. so if you solo'd the whole thing it would be a 30min battle. never ever use nightmare while doing this, too much of a risk if something goes wrong in your path and you have to adjust.
on the bubble phase just keep moving in the big circle and when he cuts across the platform take him way way wide, again don't worry about resetting him as long as you are on the same height level as him you are fine. he'll shoot you a couple times but with 3 poisons back on you will just flux between 60%-100% the whole time.

might fraps if down the road, because a little hard to explain.

Kommentar von allan99

Hey guys does anyone know if you could go into this instance at level 78

Kommentar von 91216

Dropping down out of the instance now causes durability loss (death).

So if you're wiping on one of the bosses, this tactic is no longer valid to save a repair bill.

Kommentar von 308541

Yes there is a need for a tank and a healer.

Agreed. Fun as it sounds, I highly doubt a group of rogues and cats can stealth all the way through this dungeon. However, I think it's also helpful to emphasize that there's no connection between a character's class/spec and the drake they can choose for the airborne portions of this dungeon. Any character can take any drake (limit one per character at a time). Let's say a party is made of:

DK Tank
Rogue DPS
Warrior DPS
Mage DPS
Druid Healer

There's no reason that same group can't face Eregos as:

Rogue tank (Ruby drake)
DK DPS (Bronze)
Druid DPS (Bronze)
Warrior healer (Emerald)
Mage healer (Emerald)

They could also go 2 tank/1 DPS/2 heals, or 0/5/0, or whatever configuration they see fit; the only limitation is the players' understanding of how to tank/DPS/heal. Also, if a given configuration isn't working for the group, they can fly back to the drake platform and rearrange their party.

That said, Seahenar makes an important point: the drake-riding portions of the instance are rather limited, and for the remainder of the Oculus, standard party configuration (1-2 tanks, 1-3 DPS, 1-2 heals) still applies.

Kommentar von 255117

You don't need to be 78 to enter this instance. The required level is 75. This also goes with HoL, Utgard Pinnical (although u cannot be summoned for the stone) but u can use the Utgard keep stone.
Also you can obtain Northrend Dungeonmaster at level 75. You just cant LFG everything yet.

Mage-Lord Urom: Third Boss

Easy CC for the groups he summons: Have any class that can break aggro (rogue's vanish, hunter's feign, probably even shadowmeld), go in and start the fight. Make sure the other party members on on the drakes, in the event of a problem. Once you break aggro and are out of combat the mobs reset and can be CC'd like any onther fight.

Kommentar von 309638

Definitely one of my favorite instances, tho also one of the most difficult.
Mage-Lord Urom in particular was always tough to get down because the damage his frost bomb causes, but i read this guide that suggested using the frost-resist gear made for Sapphiron, makes the fight a cakewalk.

Found the last boss actually pretty easy using two amber drakes, two ruby drakes and an emerald.
All the achievements seem do-able as well, tho i could definitely see the emerald void being an problematic.

Kommentar von 249533

If you are trying for the quests/achievement please note:

If you die during the final boss fight and fall out of the range. You will not be able to loot any BoP items or get the achievement/quest done.
This is not a glitch, and I talked with a Game Master the only thing to do is more Oculus.

This instance is the only one I do not enjoy. I dont know why, it was just a beating to run :-(. After getting through the 3 bosses we got the the final fight we wiped 3 time then gave up. So The Oculus is on the bottom of my fav. list lol :-/

Kommentar von nikbos

This has got to be blizzards worst attempt at a instance! The only thing you need is a group that listens to your instructions on how to kill the bosses, and drake riding skills! However it is still really hard! The last boss is doable for a level one, if you get a summon to him: in fact I did it with a Level 50 rouge and a group!

Really sad and annoying Instance!

Kommentar von 159706

Yellow is NOT DPS! Why do people keep saying that? The only thing yellow is good for is time stop, but red puts out at least twice as much DPS as yellow.

I do not recommend the combo that others have suggested. Instead, try 1 emerald, 2 amber, and 2 ruby. If you do it with 3 amber it will needlessly take a very long time and have a higher chance of wipe. The thing that wipes the group most often is the astral plane thing, when those bubbles come out you gotta run like a granny on meth.

Kommentar von 207578

OMFG I HATE this instance, I ran it once on normal and 1 attempt on heroic and I will NEVER EVER enter this God for saken instance again

and forget about the The Eye of Eternity too I don't care what kind of gear drops there NOTHING is worth this much frustration

Kommentar von 272357

Any tips on healing this as a disc priest? Did a try and we got to Mage-Lord Urom where we wiped several times until giving up. Damage was all over the place and I tried my best to keep up but it wasn't enough.

I have healed almost every other HC dungeon without any problems as disc priest but this one really shocked me with it's damage. The big problem seems to be all the damage the whole party recieves, and disc has no really good AoE heals.

Is it like this always? Damage to the whole party or did the tank do something wrong?

Cheers!

Kommentar von Vladeon

Remember though that unlike the vehicles in Ulduar, these do not scale to your iLevel. So, if you're going for the achievements or are in a group that's prone to wiping, you can do the whole vehicle part of the instance nude so that you don't accrue a hefty repair bill. This is especially useful when doing the achievement for completeing the instance with no green (healer) drakes. Just don't forget to put your clothes on afterwards.

EDIT: With patch 3.2 the drakes health and damage will scale with the user's item level.

I don't think anyone's mentioned this but you CAN buff the drakes. A priests stamina buff on them is actually around 12k HP towards them and a pally's kings gives around another 5k.

I've heard this should be the first dungeon you should go to when you hit 80, though manly because of the gear. Is this really a good idea? Wouldn't it be smarter to start with something a bit less advanced than having to control these dragons (havent been in there yet, so I don't know if it's not very advanced at all...).

In my opinion, starting out with a simple dungeon would be smarter, though I do admit that maybe finding a tough one is good for the morale when you enter a simpler or easier one later on...

It doesn't matter if theyre reducing the health of bosses and such. The entire dungeon is very very time consuming, everything is so far apart and the fights are boring as hell. You could do 2 other heroics in the time it takes to complete oculus.

And getting a group that knows where to go and what theyre doing is very rare (because most of them, including me, really dont give a @#$% about this instance and its only during daily heroics that this instance sees its share of traffic).

Because of this fact, Heroic Oculus is now the heroic with the most emblems of triumph obtainable, at 8 (4 because of the bosses: Drakos, Varos, Urom, and Eregos; 2 because of the random heroic option, which gives you 2 extra emblems, and 2 because of the bag).

A poorly designed vehicle interface, nonsensical skills equal fail dungeon. The drakes are too large to see anything but the butt of the drake, spamming buttons to do what, I still have yet to figure out. The rewards are nice but utterly unattainable in a pug, hence worthless.

The best strategy is to kill the first boss, get saved to the instance and leave. Take your 15 minute penalty - but at least you wont get queued again for it during the day. Once I was actually put in this POS 4 times.

Kommentar von genericname

Just because you are unable to use the Dragons that are required in this instance does not make a "Fail dungeon". In my opinion, the Dragon interface is extremely simple in design, for example:

I play on the Bronze Drake whenever I go in there, however I took the step forward to help my group out when the healer's UI wouldn't support the Vehicle UI. 2nd attempt after using the green dragon(For the first time) we downed Eregos, and nobody died. 1st attempt on the Red Drake, and I got Emerald Void easily.

On to your next concern,

"...Nonsensical skills..."
Do you even read the skill tooltip? Honestly, I read the things, and I laughed cause of it's completely straightforwardness(Yes, it's a word, no spaces). For my example, I shall use "Martyr" Straightforward as hell.

In closing, you've got something wrong with you, probably your attitude towards Oculus in all honesty. I don't like Oculus, I find it to be tedious and rather boring. However with the nerfs that have come it's way, I'm surprised anyone is still wiping on this.
* Many bosses and creatures have had their total health reduced. (Eregos included)
* Several bosses and creatures have had cooldowns on specific abilities increased, effect durations reduced, and damage on some of these abilities reduced.
* Ring-Lord Conjurers and Sorceresses now hang out in packs of 4 instead of packs of 5.
* Vehicle scaling on the drakes based on the rider’s item level has been increased to make them more powerful.

As of patch 3.2, you no longer keep the mount summoning item if you die. You need to go back to the NPCs.

This means Make it count is harder, and you need to take more care not to wipe.

Can anyone confirm a drop rate on the blue proto drake? I've run this three times on random since Blizzard has announced the drake, and I've yet to see it drop. If the drop rate is insanely low, two more badges is not going to entice me to run this. I'm a JC: I can get rare gems all of the time. Maybe change it to epic gems and you might entice me to run this more often.

Kommentar von pezz

A paladin's frost resistance aura reduces the damage the random trash drakes do to your drakes by ~20%, even if the paladin is on his or her drake.

Doesn't work on Eregos's arcane damage, but it makes the flying around parts of the instance a little bit easier.

Also, you CAN change auras while riding your drake. In the standard UI your aura bar disappears while mounted but going through your spellbook or using an addon (I recommend opie) will still work to change auras. However, the only aura with any benefit while on drakes is Frost resistance. Drakes are vehicles, not mounts, so no Crusader Aura.
